Introduction
((In case you were wondering why Lightcaster is the host of the Grand prix. You do not have to read this. It has nothing to do with the outcome of the race. Read the RULES below to learn how to set up your BIO.))
Lynn Granzion, also known as Kynn Lightcaster, also known as Omni Excel, sat on the cold stone stool that was carved out of the rock of the cave. The 'room' that he was in was no bigger than a small apartment unit, and there were no other rooms, entrances, or exits within the entire cave. In the center of this cave and in front of Lynn's cold stone stool, was a round stone table, and on top of this, a small marble board. Lynn let off an aggravated huff. "Alright... I can do this..." he muttered to himself in thought. He raised his hand, hesitated, then looked up at the man sitting across from him. His hand began to tremble with uncertainty.
"Is there a problem, young one...?" Spoke the man that he was playing against.
Lynn squinted his eyes at Farther time and shook his head. "No. I am fine..."
He clenched his jaw and picked up the pawn, moving the small object forward one space with a tired sigh.
"It is your move..."
Father time nodded his head. He didn't waste a second in reaching up and moving his knight across the board to knock Lynn's bishop over.
"You are impatient, young one. You would think that after all of this time it would be the one thing that you would have the most of. Patience is the key to everything..." The Father leaned back on his stool and crossed his arms, narrowing his small deep sunken eyes to the point where they almost couldn't even be seen. The man looked like a zombie. And that wasn't an exaggeration. Deep sunken black eyes, long white wispy eyebrows and hair that came down to his back. He had strong deep cheekbones and a forehead that went on for miles. He had lips that couldn't be seen and a mouth that looked like he had no teeth. His skin looked like that of snow, and he was literally as skinny as a stick. He wore a large bellowing red robe like that of a king. But this creature was only the king of one thing. He was not the creator of the universe, Father time was something else...
He watched time, controlled it, lived within and around it, but never mingled or manipulated it. He simply watched, and predicted.
The stone table that they were playing on glowed with an unseen light, illuminating the rest of the cave that was neither here, nor there. A place that existed everywhere but nowhere. This was the place Lynn was trapped in for all eternity. The place where all dimensions, all worlds, all time lines connected and intertwined into a single source. There was no way in, nor out of this place, unless the Lord of all time gave the word. And in this case, he would only give it if Lynn beat him at a game of chess...
Lynn clenched his jaw and raised his hand for his next move, sweat beading on his brow. "I am hardly young..."
He moved his knight a few spaces across the board. "I have been trapped here for the passed 15,000 years."
"And yet you have learned nothing." the Father shot back, moving a pawn forward to the next space.
"I have learned that it is impossible to beat a man that is as old as time itself. Let's face it, I'm stuck here forever."
Lynn moved his rook horizontally across the board and used his middle finger to flick the little pawn away.
"Or maybe not. Check!"
Father time smiled. It was a tight and grim expression that stretched his skin tight across his skeletal face. He nodded his head one final time. "And mate..."
The Father slid his bishop in an angle and placed it right in the space Lynn's old bishop had been positioned only a few turns before. Right in front of the King. He used his index finger to flick the king to the floor.
"I am sorry young wizard, but you lose again..."
Lynn stood up in disbelief.
"Wha-How-When did you?!?! ARGH!!"
He walked away from the board and began pulling his hair out.
The Father slowly stood to his feet and folded his arms behind his back.
"You hardly deserve the title of 'Omni Excel'. You may be skilled with the sword and magic, but you lack wisdom and patience."
"But I have plenty of perseverance!
I will not give up. I may not be allowed to leave this place, but there are other ways for me to be free. I have an idea that I think you will find rather amusing. Another way to win my freedom."
"Is that so? And what would that be?" The Father asked curiously; tilting his head to the side to study the young elf boy.
"A race..."
"Against me? You cannot leave here, and this cave is very small for a race. I do not find that amusing..."
"Not with us..."
"Do explain..."
"We will summon racers from all over the galaxy. I have magic, and all the time in the world...
I will use it to project myself to them. We will set rules and guide lines. The winner will get a prize." Lynn explained with a small smirk on his face.
"And what will you get out of this?"
"Simple. My freedom." He walked over to the far side of the cave and leaned his back up against the wall.
"How so?" The Father asked.
"We will place bets on the racers. If one of the teams I pick wins the race, I go free. If the teams I pick lose, I stay. There is a fifty percent chance of me winning and earning my freedom. It is like playing poker, but with people."
"Hmm. I do find this rather amusing... Agreed. But we will raise the stakes to this bet. If you lose, I will also gain all those that are closest to your heart, plus the others."
Lynn gulped. That was a lot of people...
But it sure beat spending another 50,000 years playing chess with Father time. The several other times he had suggested a change of pace the Father simply rejected it. He couldn't waste this opportunity. There was a 97.9% chance that he would lose at chess again (and again), but there was a 50% chance that he would win a random bet in a race. His odds would also go up if he picked all of the fastest teams. He liked the sound of those odds...
"Agreed..." Lynn replied quietly.
"Then summon your racers, Omni. And let the Great race begin..."
The Father extended a bony hand, and Lynn gladly grasped it to shake firmly.
"Let the race begin..." He muttered.
And so it began...
