Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Phovos “I’m genuinely getting quite worried now…” Psiksi muttered as he paced up and down the living room. “I mean, it’s one thing to close off the arenas. It’s another to lock vok in their homes and tell vok to barricade their doors and windows.” Kass wasn’t nearly as bothered. He’d used the last few days … Read more
The Rivers of Kinigi seemed more… bloated than usual. The waters were overflowing, carving through the silvery sands and pink grasses, flowing at a fast pace. Tenuk had visited Kinigi quite a few times, but he had not seen this before. “Why are you here?” A dark, cold something flew above Tenuk and landed in … Read more
Gath wandered around the kitchen, not sure what to do. Retvik hadn’t been acting right. Not since the other day. Yes, Gath expected Retvik to be in a funny mood since he’d just given birth to the egg that contained their unborn kid, but the weird snapping and growling, that was not normal. It was … Read more
“It has only been three weeks…” Retvik hurried over to the nest he’d made in the living area and laid down on his side. His stomach muscles were not happy. “IT HAS ONLY BEEN THREE WEEKS…” He didn’t understand any of this. He’d never gotten this far before. Which probably explained why Retvik was panicking. … Read more
“What do you mean, closed until further notice? What’s going on?” Psiksi was quite frustrated. “What do you think I mean, child?” Kindynis, the House Leader, snapped. “The DBA is closed. Until further notice.” “Because of a Cassid crash?” Kindynis rolled his eyes, growling. “Are you stupid or something?” “Possibly…” Psiksi sighed. “I just don’t … Read more
“That wasn’t there before…” Iatre muttered to himself as he exited his lab, blinking in the bright light. “I suppose that will teach me for spending most of my time working…” The small, green dome had been crudely attached to the side of the much larger green and white dome that made up the majority … Read more
“You’re home early!” Kass smiled as he paused the game he was playing. Psiksi awkwardly waved back as he dropped his backpack on the ground. “You look like you haven’t even left!” Psiksi exclaimed, still wearing a set of training armour from work. It had taken him a moment to work out what was wrong. … Read more
Tenuk had spotted it as he brought in the shopping. It was hiding on the roof, watching him. Tenuk had decided to get all the shopping inside and lock the hovercraft before dealing with it. After all, he’d offered to do the shopping, since he was staying with Gath and Retvik. Least he could do … Read more
“I need a place to stay.” Tenuk looked awful. There were dark rings under his eyes, his armour was chipped and ugly and his skin was dry and cracking. He stood in the doorway, holding a plastic carrier bag with various bits and pieces in it. “Are you well?” Retvik asked as he led Tenuk … Read more
Four figures had climbed this treacherous mountain, edging their way along dangerous paths and narrow passes. Their robes were torn and tattered by the cruel winds, their arms and legs shaking, their limbs wrapped up and bloody from the rain and snow. Their suffering though was coming to an end. They had finally reached the … Read more
“I do not like you.” Keseer Varo was the biggest Rethan House Fighter, and he had always been a moody one. A towering hulk of a Rethan, known for wrestling the arena beasts and enjoying it. Literally wrestling with them, not toying with them with spears and swords. “Oh, why?” Psiksi on the flip side … Read more
“Hm, perhaps I should have recommended that he come a bit later?” Gath grunted as he climbed down the stairs. He glanced around the house, then began a vague attempt to tidy up the living room. “The medic said he will be here in five or ten minutes. He already knows the place. He did … Read more
Gath didn’t know what to expect as he walked in. Well, he’d been watching Retvik build his little nest on and off over the last few days, but he hadn’t expected Retvik to end up taking the entirety of the casual living area. He didn’t even know they owned so many pillows and blankets. “I … Read more
“I am retiring…” Tesnik grunted as he removed his helmet and threw it into his locker and disappeared into one of the showers. “What?” The House Leader seemed to have been caught unaware. He chased after Tesnik, stopping outside the shower doors. “Tesnik, what is going on?” “I told you!” a voice shouted above the … Read more
Something is different around here. Some time ago, I allowed myself to become Kinisis’s partner. My duties mostly remained the same. Kill the unkillable. Protect the Cycle. Lead the Veth. The first two, they seem mostly identical to the duties I performed before I took Kinisis’s hand. The latter… Well, that is what’s changed. I … Read more
