Long before the time of man, and eons before the creation of the earth, lived a society of supernatural beings called gods. Located deep in space, these gods could shift and shape matter at their ease, and possessed the ability to create life. Being the most powerful rulers in the universe, the gods had nothing to worry about, and had little to do on a day to day basis. As a result, the gods created a game to prove who was the strongest, most powerful god of all. The game was a race in which each god would create his own world and inhabit it with life. Life on the planets would then be faced with a test from the other gods, in the hope to weed out the week planets, and be left with a winning creation. Ala, a young god, took part in the race.

Ala expected laughter and rude remarks from his peers; however nothing was said as he approached them. To his surprise, all the gods agreed on Ala as the winner.
