Boredom, that is the sole driving force in most actions the gods take. They are bored with their endless, repetitive lives. It was constantly creating this, destroying that. Flood this, burn that. It was the repetition of these very actions that seemed to never change for many millennia, which caused the greatest board game in all of god-kind.
In the Darkness Corridor, a hall in which is said that the first beam of light in the universe traveled. A lone door stood at the end, seemingly miniscule in size. But as you got further down the long corridor, it slowly got larger and larger until it stood to the height of three men. The door arched and featured a typical medieval design, crafted simply from wood and steel. As they creaked open with heavy resistance, the doors revealed a room that seemed to have no walls and no end. However, a cold stone floor existed, but it ended at a certain point, vanishing into the darkness, and in the middle stood a board without a coherent shape, lit only by an unknown light from above. The board seized on a hexagonal shape, and out from the infinite shadows of the dark room stepped three beings, each walking with ethereal steps that glided across the stone floor and only stopping when they each reached three separate corners of the board. One of the ethereal figures reached up to their head, reaching into their mouth and pulled out something that resembled dice, only with many more sides than normal. As their hand rolled the dice through the air, it landed on the board with a large BOOM that rippled through the infinite room. The board, as if on cue of the dice landing on it, started to take shape, forming the world of Earth as we know it. The figure who threw the dice suddenly spoke up with a booming yet conniving voice and spoke four words that carried the fate of the world in them.
