Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Phovos “HAPPY MACROMERA!” Tenuk slurred as the door opened and he tumbled into the old Dessaron HQ. “I have preseeeents!” Retvik smiled, leading Tenuk in and gently closing the door behind him. “It is good to see you, Tenuk.” Tenuk wobbled around, admiring the holiday candles and decorations. The smell of things cooking was making him … Read more
It was originally just a headache. The pain had started in the back of Veekay’s head at about five in the morning. He got up, looked out of the window and that was when the pain struck. A dull ache. He had work to do though. He’d taken some pain killers, particularly weak ones, then … Read more
“So, uh, what do we do now?” The higher levels of the relays were always almost empty. That was why Frost had picked the top level of the Kronia Relay as his little meeting place. The only thing here that could bother them was a single relay operative but they were either blind, deaf or … Read more
“What’s this?” Teekay asked as a silver envelope dropped in front of him. He put his fork down and opened it up, curious. “An invitation!” Eksi grinned. Ever since they had become free Rethans, Eksi was basically a whole new being. Full of life and energy. Finally pursuing the things he wanted to do. Currently … Read more
The last Deitic crumpled into a heap before fading away, utterly defeated. That had been the third Deitic attack on a mortal settlement in the last five hours. “Shame we can’t just kill them…” Arkay muttered under his breath as Kairos flew over. The Whenvern was doing one last check of the perimeter. “We kill … Read more
Arkay kept his eyes on the ground. He didn’t want to look up, only to see the other Veth staring at him and whispering about him again. They’d been doing that for a while. They all knew what he’d tried to do. They all knew that he didn’t like Kinisis and didn’t want to be … Read more
“Yoooohooooo!” Kairos’s voice should have echoed, but in the endless darkness of the void, it just sort of faded off into nothing. “Stasis? Are you here?” Stasis’s home was weird. It was both incredibly small and narrow and infinitely large at the same time. As Kairos flew, occasionally he’d bump into something, like a floating … Read more
Iatre had been watching Veth go by all day. They’d enter Death’s dome-shaped mansion one at a time, there would be a five minute delay and then they’d stumble out in their new Veth V9 forms. Smaller. Sleeker. More powerful. Iatre’s work had been wasted time for him, but it seemed as if Death had … Read more
“It’s not your fault.” Out of all the Veth to approach Istoria, she never expected Iatre to be the first. He may have been incredibly young compared to her, but there was a wisdom and a wisp of intelligence in Iatre that most other Veth lacked or lost. Really, she should have reached out to … Read more
“Arkay!” He knew she’d come running to him. That was why he hesitated. He could have thrown himself off the edge right now, but he didn’t. He had stood there and waited. Waiting for a sign, perhaps? “ARKAY!” Her cries were fierce, full of anger and sorrow. She was as conflicted as he was. “ARKAY, … Read more
Arkay stood in the doorway, waiting awkwardly for everyone else to leave. He wanted to speak to Istoria in private, but didn’t want to make that obvious. The more Arkay thought about it though, the more obvious he felt. Either way, he needed to speak to Istoria alone. Finally, the other Veth all cleared out, … Read more
Arkay woke up realising he wasn’t alone in bed. He also quickly realised that his bed had moved to a large, dark room with a glass window facing the wider rivers of Kinigi. He then realised that he wasn’t in his bed, but someone else’s bed. Clearly, someone had messed with him while he was … Read more
Captain Vallas was annoyed. He thought the High General was in his office. He was supposed to be in his office, working with a speech writer, covering all the speeches and talks he would be giving during the Macromera break. But the High General wasn’t there. He was somewhere else. With a tut, Vallas stomped … Read more
Psiksi felt somewhat hopeless as he sat on the cold, stone bench and watched the world go by. Lots of Thanatians and Vrekans, with the odd Rethan scattered among them, wandering through a holiday marketplace. Winter was always a time for holidays, as the more ancient races were preparing for the return of warm weather. … Read more
Telos had been watching Zoan and Empros argue for a while. This wasn’t a new universe, but Telos knew that both of them were slightly scared. This was the second time in a short space of time that a Corruption had attempted to break in, and Zoan had been getting incredibly agitated. Of course, Telos … Read more
