Neither in the heavens nor on Firm Lands shall they ever be harnessed! Without them no passage through the Hammered Bracelet is safe! Anzu was saying.

Alalu was saying; But without the chariot's return, Nibiru shall be doomed! Abgal, he who knows piloting, boldly toward the leaders stepped forward. I shall be the pilot, the dangers I shall valiantly face! he was saying. Thus was the decision made: Abgal shall be the pilot, Anzu on Earth shall be staying! On Nibiru, the stargazers the destinies of the celestial gods contemplated, an opportune day they were selecting. Into Alalu's chariot basketfuls of gold were carried; The forepart of the chariot Abgal entered, the commander's seat he occupied.

The chariot's Fire Stones Abgal stirred up; their hum like music was enthralling. The chariot's Great Cracker he enlivened, a reddish brilliance it was casting.

To Nibiru words of the ascent were beamed; on Nibiru there was much expecting.
