[ Gilgamesh's reaction is curious; most shrunk away in fear rather than leaning closer in wonder. He's every bit as arrogant as the "King" implies, though, holding his spadelike head high when he senses he's being assessed, snorting smoke. ]
The Great Black, Blood's Shadow, Death Incarnate, Shuul'wah, Phquathi, Xaxas... these are my names, and many more. You would be wise to commit them to memory. I intend on engraving each and every oen into the earth as it smolders beneath my wings. For I do not crawl, but soar above all others.
[ Burning red eyes narrow at Gilgamesh's continued flaunting and pronouncements. Ordinarily, he'd be quick to cut him down a notch or two, but he'll elect for the more diplomatic approach, at least for now. No need to make powerful enemies if they can simply be swayed to his favor instead. ]
I do not back down when I am challenged. Of that, you can rest assured. If the need for supremacy sings so keenly in your heart, I would grant it to you. However, this world is in dire need of cleansing, just as you said.
After the wretched scream out in agony and judgment has been cast, I would test your resolve. For that is why I exist, to fulfill the prophecy you speak of... and here, I see no need to stand in each others' way.
