In a large room, under a bright light sat a humming little girl. She would have to be around 9 years old, her hair black and her iris white. Her legs were swinging below the chair as she was seemingly bored. Suddenly a door opened revealing a very, very bright room and a middleaged man. He had brown hair, a baige vest, blue eyes and khakicoloured pants. He was filled with regret as she saw the girl. The girl on the other hand was beaming. In front of her, the chess board and on the other side of the magnificiently crafted table, was another beautiful wooden chair.
As the man sat down, the girl finally talked, „How much can you give?”. The man looked in his pocket, the money jiggling and hitting eachother. He only took out one coin which had a silver tinge to it. The girl looked surprised, „Surely you jest.”. The man looked worried and suddenly took out 2 gold coins and 7 copper ones on the table. The girl finally smiled, „Neat. You know the rules probably, I’ll be white! It’s my favourite colour ya’ know.”. The man nodded faintly. The girl looked a tad frustrated but the man still refused to say a thing.
The girl after declaring start immediatly moved one of her pawns to d4. The man looked surprised, „How conventional.”. The girl looked surprised, but asked back, „You mean to disobey convention and go with a better move even I don’t know of?”. The man laughed weakly and stated, „No.”. He moved one his pawns to d5. The girl giggled. The man looked questioning. He doubted the girl would beat him yet again. Of course, the girl moved a pawn to c4 while the man moved one to e6. He made a sigh of relief, she didn’t have an advantage so far. Not for the coming 5 moves at least.
The girl moved her knight to c3. The girl then looked up and asked, „How’s it been going with you lately?”. The man gave a warm smile and answered, „Just like how you’ve planned.”, he moved a pawn c6. The girl made a wide grin and said, „Is that so? Well, I’m not better off all I get to do is sit here waiting for players while Jonathen is probably playing some card game with the others.”. She moved a pawn to e3.
The man frowned and said, „Your life must be terrible.”. He moved his knight to f6. The girl laughed for a second and said while wiping away the tears of joy, „It is- Ya’ know, you could’ve been the one playing here but you played when you shouldn’t have.”. She moved one of her knights to f3. The man looked haughtily at the girl and said, „Means so much coming from the fucking devil.”, he moved one his knights to d7 to protect his king. She said, „Yeah, the devil. Naming someone you don’t like the devil is kinda mean ya’ know, I might cry!”, she moved her bishop to d3. The man rolled his eyes and simply muttered „Bullshit.”, he moved one of his bishops to d6.
The girl muttered, „Getting all aggressive won’t fix your shortcomings, that includes the literal ones and the figurative ones.”, she moved a pawn to e4. The man looked surprised, „Did you actually insult my masculinity? That’s new. Did you check me out while I was working?”, he moved his pawn to take down one of her pawns on e4. She once again looked surprised, „Did you grow even more senile than you were?”, she moved one of her knights to take down his pawn on e4. The man smiled, „Nah, I just take what I get.” he moved his knight to e4, thus capturing one of the girl’s knight.

The girl smiled, „I can see that.” she stated quite mockingly as she moved her bishop to e4, to take down his knight. The man smiled back, „Hehe, are you growing senile too?”, he moved his knight to f6. The girl just looked a tad frustrated and stated outright, „Nah.”. She moved one of her bishops to c2. The man without saying anything moved one of his pawns to h6. The girl grinned, noting the man’s silence, she moved one of her bishops to e3, in response to this the man moves one of his rooks to e8. The girl smiles once more and moves her queen to d3. The man says, „Hmm, we might be here for a while”, and he moved his queen to c7. The girl giggled at this move and moved one her pawns to c5. The man had gone pale, but quickly regained his colour and continued.
He moved his bishop to f8. Without a word she moves her knight to e5. The man moves his bishop to take out the pawn at c5. She laughes outright for 5 seconds before finally moving her bishop to h6. The future was looking grim for the man but he restarted the smalltalk, „So, what do you do when no one’s playing.” he says as he moves his bishop to d4 thus continueing the murdering of the pawns. She moves her queen to d4 and answers, „Nothing really, it’s boring you should come more!”. The man laughs moves a pawn to take out the other pawn on h6 and answers, „If I could, I would believe me. Not for you that is, but for my freedom. Seriously work sucks!”.
The girl nods her head and moves her queen to f4. „Maybe, but for me it’s really good because I get 10% of the profits.”. He moves his knight to d5 and says, „Yeah, it’s a jolly good time for me too. You know, mining crystallized mana while demonspawns are torturing you is my ideal image, they should rename Hell to Heaven.”. The girl mockingly furrowed her eyebrows and said „I didn’t take you for a masochist, but ya’ know that explains your actions from when you were alive perfectly ya’ silly demigod.” she moved her queen to h6 to take out the pawn.
The man looks frustrated, „Says the mighty midgod of order am I right? At least I almost achieved divinity while you fucking stole it. Order, my ass.” he moved a pawn to f6. The girl grinned, „You know? Theft and sins are part of order, natural events while someone rising to the top isn’t natural it’s quite disorderly!”, she moves a pawn to f4. The man rolls his eyes, „Yeah, yeah. With your shitty midgod badge you must be all enlightened. I bet when I’m back, in a 1000 years of work you’ll still be working here begging for the promotion that won’t come.”, he moved a rook to e7.
The girl laughed haughtily, „Big words coming from a mere demigod. This is our last game as the high god of order is sick because of all the disorder in the world caused by a certain someone. Order will be rejuvinated once I take his place. This is our last game wiseass.” she moved her knight to g6. The man rolled his eyes. „I won’t keep the mighty high god of bitchery salivating for the promotion. I would’ve lost anyways. Now take all of us back to hell.”. The girl raised an eyebrow, „You resign?”. The man nodded. The girl’s eyes filled with surprise and started tearing, she asked „Chris…?”. The man once again nodded. The girl smiled and ran to the man and hugged her. She was crying and said „Been a while Chris, mid god of disorder. Finally you regained your powers.”. The man sighed, „I’m no hero who rised to the top from a mortal am I... Hehe, that’s my girl. You did good. Now, let’s go get our promotions. Poor guys wagered their souls for me, yet it turns out I have no need for them and I even lost. How comedic.”.
The midgod of order smiled. His brother was finally back to his godhood. The highgod of order and disorder will pay for sabotaging their love. The girl giggled, they won’t be highgods anymore though will they?
