Dinner and Drinks

Gath tapped on the table, lost in thought, minding their own business. They had admittedly not had a good day. A day filled with medical appointments. None of them good. It turned out, being shot 30 times while on an adrenaline-fuelled rampage protecting the innocent as a young adult was not good for your health … Read more

Marriage Permission Forms

“They’re not going to try and stop us or anything, are they?” Litvir shrugged as he started the engines of the ship. To his right was Teekay. Behind him were Elkay and Elksia. Souldrainer’s Plight, a small fighter ship that had been a parting gift from the Phantai to the Thantir, had been adapted somewhat, … Read more

Games, Walks and Talks

Being large, heavy creatures, Rethan cities were built to be very wide and not very tall. After all, when the average height of a Rethavok is 2.5m, it gets expensive building skyscrapers that can contain said large beings. The roads in Rethan cities though were even wider, designed mostly for foot traffic, public transport and … Read more

Super Weird Duty

“Hello, dearies, how are you all?” Retvik was not at all amused. The Allbirther had just ruined his favourite sofa with her colossal, serpentine body. Thankfully, Sini was not all slimy, but she normally left some sort of strange, floral smell wherever she went. “I would be happier if you knocked on the door, like … Read more

Witnesses Accepted

“So, let me get this straight, because I don’t quite get this…” Tenuk was tired. He’d just finished his shift and was about to go and get something to eat, but he was currently being held hostage by Teekay, who should have been going to bed now. The Thantir currently worked on five hour shifts, … Read more

Forced Time Off Work

The General of the 1000th Legion grunted to themselves as they entered the Kentron, the centre of the Rethan government. Gath Tsoriou was an utterly colossal Rethan, standing at 3.2m tall and covered in cream and brown plating, with nearly black skin. They were a soldier-caste Rethan, not normally someone who was even capable of … Read more

Veeyel’s Lullaby

Glitter, glitter, burning shimmer. Distant hums, distant suns. Not quite infinity, but more than one. Short red burns, long blue burns. They all burn bright. Never forever. On and on but not forever. Not like love. Not like family. They burn brighter. No matter where I am. No matter where you are. One day, the … Read more

Accepting Losses

“It is strange, no longer being a selfish asshole.” Retvik glanced at Litvir, surprised by his sudden words. The two Thantir leaders had been sitting quietly on the small pier on their own for a while. The overall mood was rather sour, since, a few hours prior, a young Voidborn had come to the Thantir, … Read more

Early Ceremonial Planning

“Hey, angel!” Teekay beamed as he brought in several bottles of drink, several sheets of paper and a tape measure. He had just finished his secretarial shift at the Purification Centre, which was what the Thantir were currently calling the work areas of their new base. The base itself was now called Savepoint, a name … Read more

Kenic Freedom

“Theoglossa is the language of the Gods, derived from an ancient, strange, hellenistic other universe, far beyond our knowledge. It is currently untranslatable by mortals within the universe of the Four.” – Efay Anglosson, A-Class Skyavok Archivist Arkadin had been hard at work, tidying up the universe. While everything was still working correctly, he’d picked … Read more

Half-Brothers, Whole Words

Retvik grunted to himself as he rubbed his head and nursed his drink. He was still reeling from what was in all honesty a very stupid fight. A fight in which he had been knocked out, ripped one of his nice golden fabric stomach wraps and had snapped his favourite sword in two. While also … Read more

Back to Work

Arkadin snarled as consciousness returned to him. He wasn’t where he remembered. In fact, he was on the wrong planet entirely. He wasn’t on a planet at all. “Easy, little brother” a voice cooed from somewhere within the room. After a few awkward moments, a door ahead of Arkadin slid open, and the Goddess of … Read more

Birthday Surprise

“Happy birthday!” Nyssi really didn’t like how Kayel and Tenuk were standing over her. Especially since Nyssi had returned to her little home in the Torn Islet for the weekend and, somehow, Kayel and Tenuk were in her house. “What the fuck are you both doing here and how the fuck did you get in?” … Read more
