On her way

Inanna although was very distressed already with things that she thought she didn't deserved, continued on her way and she arrived to the 4th stair. Once again, at the top of the stair there was a guard who demanded Inanna to hand over one of her garment, exactly as the other guards did before him.

Although Inanna had already learned that won't help her if she protest, she handed over another garment of her, but this time she showed her angry.

The guard wasn't impressed by her fury. He continued standing there withough showing a slightest understanding.
After handing over her garment, Inanna tried to calm down herself, and tried to gather some energy in order to continue
on her way. She stopped walking, took some deep breath... and continued on her way.

While Inanna was quickly approaching Ereshkigal domain, Ereshkigal asked one of her best advisers - to go over to a neighbor to get some advice. She herself wasn't talk to that neighbor many years now, but she remember that in the past that man saved her from unpleasant situations many times.
