In a deep, dark corner of the galaxy, in an unexplored region of space, the oldest question in the universe was once again being debated. It was a question that had echoed through the vast history of the cosmos and even after a trillion lifetimes, it still stayed unanswered. Even for two omnipotent beings, the debate remained unsettled.
“You could not be more wrong…” Lakirum’s presence resonated through the nebula. In his semi-corporeal state, he could see all the interactions between the particles as they divided and merged with each other, forming the delicate colours and shapes of the cloud. He absent mindedly flicked a small piece of cosmic dust across to the other side of the nebula, watching it fly off into the universe.
Ossian sighed as he lay back on a nearby comet and shook his head. “I am not wrong…and I can prove it!” he challenged as he jumped up and floated across to Lakirum with a mischievous grin and an air of arrogance. He came to settle right next to his friend. “How about a wager?” he taunted as he gracefully somersaulted and sat back on the comet. “Me vs you, the winner gets this galaxy to play with?” he suggested, as he picked up a moon and began twirling it on the end of his finger.
Lakirum thought for a moment. “How do you propose to test your hypothesis?” he asked, his eyes narrowing to try and work out if his cohort was being genuine. “We would need a completely unbiased view, a test perhaps?” he mused as he kicked the moon off his friend’s finger and watched it hurtle through space.
Ossian nodded and closed his eyes to think. “Two equal teams, one for each side, each with a problem to solve…” he swooped in and came nose to nose with Lakirum, “…and once they are in play, no interference from us?” he added with a stern gaze. Lakirum fixed his eyes on his friend then grinned and nodded. “You’ve got yourself a bet!” he laughed as he nudged his friend off the comet.
“Let the games begin…”
