God Doesn't Care

War is raging across the continent of Azerra.

The archery-skilled elves are fighting the enormous dragons over territory, while the dwarves next door swing their hammers at human heads.

Arrows rain down, blades and spears clash, and terrifying roars and anguished cries ring through the heavens.

Bloodshed spreads, and lives are laid waste.

This is a heartrending war, a terrible war.

Yet the one seated among the clouds gives a soft yawn, watching with weary eyes.

To the god who created the world, everything below is just a game to pass the time.

They lower their gaze, reach out, and roll the dice of fate once more.

A little mercy for the world below.
