The Silly Drunken Bet!
Five hundred years ago!
The Lord of Evil Chaos and the Lord of the Evil Void were enjoying a drink.
They were nearly halfway through a bottle of best top-shelf distilled mortal evil.
And they were on the cusp of being drunk.
Their thoughts and good judgement were definitely at least affected.
I could go through the process of describing each evil hell lord of Triadvite in turn, but there would be no point!
For their forms kept shifting automatically, effortlessly as they spoke, and various thoughts and notions passed randomly through their minds.
For beings such as these, changing form was easy.
It was staying in one form for any length of time that was the hard part!
Another few glasses of distilled evil quaffed, and they would lose that ability to stay in one shape for a good few decades!
Until they sobered up a little!
The two were having a very vigorous debate about the base nature of mere mortals.
The Evil Chaos Lord slurred in a loud voice, again!
“I am NOT saying that it is NOT stupid of them!”
“No one is saying THAT!”
“Accept,” the Lord of Evil Void, butted in, “Accept THEM!”
“Yes! Ok! Accept them!” Ranted on the Lord of Evil Chaos, “Of course Not Them!”
“But that is exactly my point!
“Your point is what? Again?” Said Evil Void
“What was my point?” Slurred Evil Chaos.
Then It remembered…
“FORM!”
“Form! That was my point. Yes, it is stupid, but I can see how it might NOT seem stupid to THEM stupid mortals!”
“Stupid mortals” giggled Evil Void.
“Well, WE know outer form means nothing… Even some of THEM know that outer form means nothing!”
“But IF you are stuck in one form all your short life with far less than a thousand years to learn anything. Then maybe you’d think your form was somehow important too!”
“And that is why I won that bet a few millennia ago!” exclaimed Evil Chaos slamming down its drink!
“That was sooo, funny!” Said Evil Void
“You once bet me that you could get a million random worlds to destroy themselves!
“For a million worlds across the multiverse to kill and condemn their souls and kill each other over something THAT stupid!”
“I cannot believe you managed to win a bet that silly!”
“But I did!” Shouted Evil Chaos victoriously!
“But really! Skin Colour?! Really? Something THAT stupid!”
“Exactly!” Shouted Evil Chaos victoriously again!
Evil Void narrowed his thoughts, getting annoyed at his friend's boastful gloating.
“I bet you could not do it with just one world.” It smirked quietly.
“WHAT!” Exclaimed Evil Chaos defensively.
“How is that a challenge?”
“Just one world.” Said Evil Void in quiet confidence.
If it had a humanoid form as this point, then its mouth would have spread across its face as a very slow grin!
“But I get to choose the silly thing you have to make them destroy themselves over!”
Evil Chaos knew it was a drunken bet trap but was fascinated and compelled to know more.
“What are the stakes” Evil Chaos said, lowering its voice.
“A single copper coin, from the pocket of one of the first victims to lose their soul over that given silly reason.”
“But if you lose you can never boast about your ‘skin colour’ victory ever again!”
“I am getting sick of hearing it!”
Evil Chaos pondered, ‘It was only one world. How silly could the reason possibly be?”
Afterall, Mortals had even killed over the gender of who they are allowed to love!
If they could kill and condemn their souls for hating even love itself, then obviously he could get the stupid things to destroy their own world over ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING!
“Go on then! YOU'RE ON!”
“CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!”
“One random world to destroy itself!”
“Go on!”
“Name your silly reason you want them to do it over!”
“Any reason you like!”
The Evil Void told his friend the reason.
The silly reason that would be given for one single world, to be tricked into destroying itself.
They both laughed,
And laughed and laughed!
When the Evil Void woke with a mild hangover, later.
It tried to clear its head and remember what had been agreed.
“CRAP!”
It said to itself!
“Oh! DOUBLE CRAP TO INFINITY!”
“I am soooo, going to lose that bet!”
“I’d better cheat!”
