"I'm sure you're loving this." Hanlon felt rattled, he had been played by the spider god and now he was worried for the first time in a long time, that he was vulnerable. The Fire God sat on her burning throne with a frown on her face. Hanlon's word were not comforting to her.
"I don't see why I would."
"Conflict your bread and butter."
"It's not a conflict its a slaughter. People are crying out for help and being killed, as the death god I'd figure you'd at least appreciate the amounts of death." Both looked away for a moment, trying to understand the others position. Much like their game before, it was a battle of wills, but unlike that game, they were now locked into was extremely dangerous even for them.
"They tried to kill the Lorentinos."
"I know I've got one of my champions safe guarding Rolando, Trezlan is beyond me at this time, though it seems whatever that piece of filth did that had his damned spiders everywhere is also screwing with my abilities." Hanlon nodded.
"Mine too, aside from coming here, or my own domain, I'm locked out of interaction. It started shortly before he attacked Trezlan's ship."
"Well at least we're both screwed and can just watch what happens."
"I can only hope the people I have out there can kill that bastard."
"And that Morley doesn't decide now is a good time to kill Trezlan." Hanlon smiled at that, it had occcured to him Morley might try that now, especially without Hanlon's protection. It also did not surprise him to see the ships attacking Trezlan on behalf of the spider god were Morley ships. Because of course Morley would sign on with the previous death god.
"There is that."
"Well we've got time for another game if you want, since apparently we can do very little else."
"Exactly why I'm here." And so they played a game while the galaxy was at war, because life is funny like that.
