"I thought you were concerned about direct involvement." The gods were playing their game again, this time in the Fire God's domain, a white marbled empty cafe in the midst of a sea of flame. Hanlong had his long hair and the Fire god still was dressed modestly even in her own domain.
"I did not have direct involvement. I merely leant my vessel and crew to Trezlan Lorentino." The fire god smiled.
"Sure and you didn't at all influence events in the end with said vessel when it looked to be overtaken." Hanlon moved his cards and rotated some of the ones from his false deck to his open one.
"I did not, other than providing the source of the power, that was all Trezlan."
"Right I'm sure one necromancer could wipe out an entire species of people with a simple ritual." The Fire god said it in jest, but she was actually curious if it was true.
"Ordinarily no, creatures are at their very nature too different to have a spell kill all of them at once, but the bio's main feature was making things like themselves, and so all Trezlan had to do was effectively 'curse their generation' and buoyed by my ships inherent focal point of death magic it expanded and wiped them out. Genius really wish I'd thought to do it, saved myself the trouble of being so obvious in my intention."
"Well now I'm more terrified than ever I didn't wipe out the Lorentino when I had a chance."
"It's not like we can't kill him later if he proves a bother." The Fire god placed both of her decks on the table in victory.
"Can we? I honestly wonder at times, looks like I win again."
"You usually do, I think you're better at these games than you let on." Hanlon left and the Fire God just smiled to herself. She was better than she lets on, but the death god still managed to hold his own as he had for all the years. Enough so the Fire God had to start to wonder if he's better at playing games than he let on as well.
