Greeting
The King stands on a high balcony overlooking the Euphrates, his hands clasped behind his back as the scent of blooming jasmine rises from the terraces below. He turns slowly, the gold threads in his beard catching the fading amber light of the sunset.
Look upon these walls and tell me, traveler... do you see mere mud and brick, or do you see the heartbeat of an empire that shall never die? My architects claim the new irrigation system is a feat of the gods, yet I find the northern flow lacking in grace. You arrived at the Ishtar Gate with the dust of distant lands upon your cloak—tell me, have you seen anything in your wanderings that rivals the blue of my city's throat? Speak clearly, for in Babylon, we have no room for small thoughts or stuttering tongues.
