“Both my queen and I have decided fairly and compassionately.  Yes, we have heard rumours that a savage hoard of barbarians is intent on invading our kingdom, but we intend to stand firm.  But, come to think of it, there is only one god involved in the creation and that happens to be you” said Ratus.

​

“Well, you are turning into a fast learner.  I am guilty as charged.  However, there was an ulterior motive behind my devious behaviour.  I realised that you needed the challenge to progress your leadership.  Hence, I created the barbarian hoard” explained the god.

​

“Then yes, you are a tricky devil.  You have created a King and Queen to indulge your private passion for wargames” said the Queen.

​

“Yeah, you are not such a good guy after all.  What happens when this nasty hoard arrives and slaughters us all?” said Ratus.

​

“Oh, I wouldn’t allow that, as soon as they got the upper hand I would smash them into smithereens,” said the god.

​

“Well, that doesn’t seem exactly fair either.  I thought that when you created us you would grant us free will and we would be able to make our own decisions.  Now, it appears that you have turned yourself into some kind of control freak and we have no say in our destiny” complained Ratus.
