Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Phovos How many times have you been in near-death situations? Hopefully none. Hopefully you’ve never seen your life flash before your eyes. But there’s always been that case where you’ve stepped off the curb and nearly been clipped by a speeding vehicle, or you slip while going down the stairs and manage to catch yourself. Little … Read more
“Not everything you do has to be related to work!” Rethais had said. “Sometimes you need to go to these events for fun.” Well, Elkay was not having fun. There were lots of Rethan Generals here and they all wanted to talk about either work or their hobbies and Elkay was interested in neither of … Read more
“GO AWAY!” Arkadin shouted, but nothing replied, his voice echoing across the vally. He didn’t expect an answer anyway. “Just fucking shut up already…” Still no reply. But Arkadin didn’t want one. He just wanted the murmurs in his mind to leave him alone. There had always been whispers in the back of Arkadin’s head. … Read more
The Cold Critter Cafe was a small Vrekan bar run by an otherwise retired, elderly Vrekan called Calliark. Calliark had been an adventurer and spy in his youth, having taken hundreds of different forms and personas. When he retired, he needed something to keep himself busy. Most of his customers were like him. People lost … Read more
The door creaked open, echoing through the otherwise silent house. The lights were all off except for one on the clock in the kitchen space. Psiksi tutted as he entered. He’d been meaning to grease the door hinges ages ago, but he’d never gotten around to it. His recent adventures with the Dessaron had dragged … Read more
Yisini patted the head of the closest Temthan. It had been yet another night of orgies and sleeping, and Yisini was still deeply enjoying all of this worship. “Yes, my Goddess?” The Temthan looked up at her, drool dripping from her mouth. “Did you want something?” It took a moment for Yisini to remember the … Read more
Kairos took shelter behind a smashed pillar, wrapping his wings around his bruised body. A weak time-shield was stopping the majority of flaming death balls from hitting him, but he couldn’t hold it for long. That burst of blinding light would wear off at some point and the monster would most likely attack him. Peering … Read more
“Has to be both…” The Lord of Death inspected the two objects in front of him. One was a bag of finely ground white crystals, the other was a golden bronze mush. “White and brown sugar?” Kohra asked. “Yep. White and brown.” “Why?” Arkadin looked at the bags again. “Why not?” “I was always told … Read more
“Your plan isn’t working, Kairos!” Yisini yelled as she slithered into the oversized temple. The floor was made of gold tiles, and it amused Yisini how she was ruining them with her slimy scales. To the left and right, in between pillars with sapphires embedded in them, were various statues of dragons in powerful poses. … Read more
“Sit.” Psiksi immediately did as he was told, trying to ignore the bland, empty surroundings. Nothing but grey walls, a grey table, two grey chairs, some grey sheets of paper and a grey door. “You’re angry.” “I am, Psiksi.” “Because of the Dessaron or the fact I was late returning home?” Arksi paced up and … Read more
The last few hours, Elkay had noticed that the Lord of Death was lingering just outside his vision. He had been following Elkay and his close friend Ver all afternoon as they dealt with meetings and talked about several planet-wide military exercises over the next couple of weeks. The Thantophor had said nothing, simply tutting … Read more
The dark hall was pretty much empty, aside from the round table and six stools. The walls were covered in tiny diamonds, twinkling in the fading light. “Sit, all of you!” Kinisis demanded as her four children and her partner filed in. Kenon sat next to Kinisis. Kairos and Epani to their left, Yisini and … Read more
Skyavok society is somewhat different compared to both normal capitalist and socialist societies but also communist ones as well. All Skyavok are separated into separate Classes, while each Class focuses on a specific job or duty. The leaders of each Class are traditionally known as Ksiar but are commonly called Ksa. Ksa generally run along … Read more
Arkadin rarely visited the domain of his sister Yisini. They were opposites, she was life, he was death, so he never felt welcome. It wasn’t that they didn’t get along, they did, the issue was that he didn’t want to accidentally hurt the wonderful flora and fauna scattered around the shimmering tower Yisini called home. … Read more
Phovos blinked with confusion as the room around her melted away, replaced with a single, rocky platform in the middle of a dense, jungle landscape. On the platform was a table, two chairs and a feast large enough to feed a whole village. “Welcome, Phovos Tromou, welcome to my little dining area!” A massive, serpentine … Read more
