Chapter 3 - chapter 3

"Oh, I just remembered his name", I take a big breath before shouting into the hole I made to the library.

"HEY CEGORACH COME HERE I HAVE YOUR" I look back over to Isha and mouth the word sister to her and she nods "SISTER ISHA"

I hear him before I see him, as his arrival is preempted by the sounds of cackling. When he does arrive, I look up at the very large clown-looking god, who takes one look at me and starts laughing hard.

"(Chuckle) you're an outsider (chuckle) pretending to be a mere god of games" I shuffle his words into complete gibberish before they reach Isha's ears and quickly transmit my wishes to remain as a mere god of games while here to which he sends back his agreement on the condition that I help his race which I easily agree to.

"Sister" he disappears in a cloud of confetti and reappears behind Isha enveloping her in a massive bear hug that lifts her from her seat "I've missed you more than anything" he pauses for a moment "other than maybe Vaul's special mead"

Hearing that he missed Vaul's Mead more than her Isha moves faster than I'd ever seen her move and goes to smack her brother upside the head for his comment, but he disappears and reappears behind my much smaller body, using me as a shield while he crackles at his sister's anger.

"I am starting to remember why you were the least favourite among all of us" the goddess of life grumbles as she takes her seat again while flipping the god of laughter off (I'm guessing she saw somebody on disboard use the gesture) before her face morphs into one of both great sadness and fond remembrance "but I have missed you as well brother" she says quietly.

Seeing that they most likely need a bit of time by themselves together I speak up "ight while you both talk I need to go do something" when they both look at me confused so I quickly form a picture of a watch on my wrist that I check before nodding "yep it's about time for the first outsiders to arrive near disboard" I form a portal to real space and quickly leave out from it.

When I step (read float) out of the portal, it's to the sight of a massive ship, almost the size of a continent, dropping out of warp space and almost crashing into one of the planets orbiting the system's star.

Going both intangible and invisible I float through the ship into what a quick mind read tells me is the bridge of this craft world.

"What the hell, there shouldn't be any systems near here", I hear the captain speak before he turns to the navigation and asks, "How did we not know of an entire system?" The Eldar he is speaking to just does the equivalent of his race's shrug before answering.

"While unlikely, it's not unheard of to find completely undiscovered systems even for us" I could hear the pride and sadness in the way he said the word us probably speaking of the empire more than the craftworld.

"Sir, we have complex life signs on the second planet from the star. We are also picking up readings of incredibly varied immaterium connection from the locals", one of the particularly skilled sensors quickly informed the captain.

"As you've most likely noticed, the warp here is acting very differently from how it should", a voice from behind the captain spoke, to which the captain quickly responded.

"Farseer Fanlon, it's a pleasure", the farseer waved the greeting away before the captain could finish it and continued his point. "The immaterium in this system is almost a complete inverse of the rest of the galaxy. Instead of Chaos, it is entirely ruled by Order" The Farseer used his staff to project an image into the air.

"This entire system is both closer to the immaterium than anywhere else while also being the furthest place from Chaos possible" The projected image showed a much clearer picture than most Eldar would get from trying to see the warp.

In the image, it showed not the toxic waters of the realms of Chaos but a calm ocean of silver with no ripples even from the farseer's attempts to force a reaction.

"I am not aware of the reason as to why this system is so incredibly different from anywhere else in the galaxy but so far I haven't found anything other than a single source of unfamiliar divinity" The farseer changed the image to show a small island in the centre of the ocean that held a small shrine of unfamiliar design.

"This being a naturally formed god or even perhaps a forgotten Old One prototype to our own Pantheon is the only thing I can see that would affect the immaterium in such a way", with his peace said the farseer, let the image fade and turned his attention back to the captain.

But before they could continue their talk, I appeared, hovering outside of the ship, in front of the viewport. I waved at the freaked-out Eldar before phasing through the window and speaking. "Hi, welcome to my system" I pay the weapons pointed at me no mind, even as I hear the owners of said weapons trying to fire them.

"Ah, I'm sorry, but there won't be any fighting in this system" I shake my head, and with a bit of will, I make all the weapons pointed at me start disassemble themselves piece by piece.

I make a zipping motion, and suddenly everyone in the room finds themselves unable to talk. "Anyway, welcome to the disboard system, in Tet, the god of games" I smile happily, even as the mention of me being a god makes them freak out even more.

"I'm sorry for the rude introduction but I figured this would be better than you trying to hurt somebody in this system and suddenly finding yourself punished" I shake my head as that was exactly what would have happened if I hadn't done something (I checked the future)

"Anyway, while in this system, any living being is forced to abide by the ten covenants of disboard which are as follows.

All murder, war, and robbery are forbidden in this world.

All conflicts in this world will be resolved through games.

In games, each player will bet something that they agree is of equal value.

As long as it doesn't violate pledge three, anything may be bet, and any game may be played.

The challenged party has the right to decide the rules of the game.

Any bets made in accordance with the pledges must be upheld.

Conflicts between groups will be conducted by designated representatives with absolute authority.

Being caught cheating during a game is grounds for an instant loss.

In the name of god, the previous rules may never be changed.

Let's all have fun and play together!" I smile at them, and after reassembling their weapons, I vanish back to intangibility and invisibility.
