The Sending of Eight / Prologue

At the Hub of the Discworld is Dunmanifestin, the realm of the Disc's gods. Here, the gods amuse themselves with their games because that's just what gods do with their time.
The current players are Fate, the Lady, Zephyrus, Blind Io, and the Crocodile God. Yes, crocodiles have their own god, and he must be a pretty decent one since they've been kicking around forever.
The kibitzers are betting the Lady will be next to leave the game.
The Lady rolls the dice, landing on a six, three, and five—but then the five has a chance collision with some molecules, so it flips, landing on a seven.
Blind Io picks up the dice to verify it is, indeed, a cube—no icosahedroms in this game—and requests the Lady play fair.
