Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Phovos “I’m thinking about dating again.” Arkadin looked up from his work. He was in the middle of cleaning up a plague-ridden country, spreading bacteria that specialised in decomposing both corpses and the plague itself. An ugly, smelly job, but also pretty calm and quiet. Except when other gods interrupted him, which they seemed to do … Read more
The great Dessaron Arena of Palaestra was closed off today. A public holiday meant that everyone aside from essential staff had the day off, which meant that there were no lives shows either. If anyone wanted to satisfy their artificial blood lust, they would just have to watch old arena reruns. But the main arena … Read more
It had taken a few hours for Kairos to finally locate Arkadin. Considering he found Arkadin at all, that suggested that the Thantophor wasn’t hiding and didn’t mind being found. Kairos had found him leaning on a balcony, standing in the rain. The building behind him had been filled with Rethavok, slowly getting intoxicated with … Read more
Kenon watched as the little deities scuttled around, busying themselves with their plans to kill their own father. Really, Kenon wasn’t too surprised. He had treated them as pathetic little insects, because that was what they were. Dumb critters too insecure to properly use their godly powers. Unfortunately for Kenon and in spite of their … Read more
“I thought Voidborns were immortal?” Yisini asked as she coiled herself around Epani, comforting herself from thoughts she didn’t like. “We can’t just… go and kill him?” Epani put one of her fins over Yisini, patting her gently. “They are not immortal, dear sister.” “They seem pretty immortal…” The four deities had gathered in one … Read more
Kairos crossed his wings as he watched Arkadin sip some sort of sugary drink. They’d both visited a little Portalian shopping mall and bought a few little trinkets, confusing and stunning the poor cashiers who had to deal with them. The Whenvern’s purchases included precious gems and expensive furs, while Arkadin had gone and bought … Read more
Void’s Edge was a massive perimeter around this part of the universe, a gargantuan crystal wall that curved inwards, protecting the universe from nasty, hungry critters that wanted to murder everything. But most mortals did not see Void’s Edge that way. To them, it was nothing but darkness and empty space, a paradox of a … Read more
“I’m sorry.” Teekay opened one eye. At the end of his hospital bed was a familiar face, but not one he wanted to see. “Is it my time?” “What?” Teekay sighed. “Is it my time to die?” “Uh, no…” The Thantophor seemed different. They had seemed different every time Teekay had encountered them. “So why … Read more
“They all got drunk and fell asleep again, didn’t they?” Retvik had been standing in the garden on his own. The sudden voice was both unexpected but at the same time… he had expected a visitor. “Yes they did. It is a Macromera tradition now. Come over to Gath and Retvik’s home, stuff one’s face … Read more
Gath was so pleased when everyone arrived in one big group. Clearly Tenuk had gone around in his fancy bus and picked everyone up so they could all have a drink. They arrived at the door, smiling and carrying gifts, and Gath and Retvik both beckoned them in. The house, the building that was once … Read more
Once upon a time… No, we can’t start like that, can we? We can? Oh good. Once upon a time, there was a glorious world filled with magical creatures. Humans might have called them Pokemon. Humans might also have enslaved them. But humans didn’t exist in this magical world. In this world, the Pokemon were … Read more
“That is an awful lot of gammon, dear…” Retvik gasped as he entered the kitchen where his partner Gath was cooking. Gath had a massive smile on his face, looking way too proud at the massive lump of smoked flesh he had been cooking all day. “It is! Why do we only have gammon in … Read more
Kenon knew this place. It had once been one of the finer areas of his home, a grand hall, filled with luxurious furniture and pristine golden statues. One of his favourite relaxing areas, where he would invite his beloved Kinisis round for food and pleasure. It was no longer such a glorious place, it had … Read more
There was a hole in the sky, a gaping black scar with glowing red edges. Hovering in its centre was Kenon, the Voidborn, surrounded by four monstrous entities. The massive beasts growled and snapped at the air, threatening the universe with their very presence. “Arkadin, you wouldn’t happen to know why Kenon is here, would … Read more
“He’s doing his job again, but where from?” Kayen muttered. “Pardon?” Kohra turned around and asked Kayen if he was alright. “What did you say?” Kayen blinked his eyes. “What?” “You said something…” Kohra had noticed that Kayen had been trailing the rest of the group ever since they’d started walking through the ruined city. … Read more
