Ishtar

After receiving a call from Belet, he greets Sik and Rabisu when they arrive at his comic bookstore and takes them to his office. After explaining how modern heroes were inspired by myths around the world, they tell him they need to get to Kurnugi. Petar says that Gilgamesh was temporarily ruler of the land of the dead and anyone with his seal can pass through any realm he ruled over. Sik says he has the seal at home and Rabisu becomes overjoyed at the prospect that she could return home. Petar says to meet him at the United Nations building in an hour. They meet up in the visitors lobby and, in an attempt to get an elevator to themselves, they claim Rabisu is suffering from the sickness that infection New York the previous year. They succeed and Sik are Rabisu get in. Sik puts on the ring and pushes a button. Nothing happens and, after a series of prolonged sarcastic goodbyes, the doors close with Sik still inside. The doors open and Petar says it did not work, however they describe what they heard to him, and Petar becomes unnerved. When Sik asks what "they" are, Rabisu says they are the Anunna. They head to a bench by the East River where Petar explains how the Anunna are beings who existed before the birth of the universe. After explaining the multiverse, Sik is surprised that it exists. Petar explains that they are safe as long as they do not meddle with the seven gates guarding the underworld.
