Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Phovos Gathered around the worn down table were some of the finest minds in Palaestra. A Rethan General, two of the Crown Princes of the Kronospasts, the Vrekan Ripper, the best Ksithan mind in the city, the Second in Command of Palaestra and the Raptor herself. Really, Kayen was feeling a little out of place. “We … Read more
It had been a while since Phovos had the time to turn her little laptop computer on and play some games. She’d just got back from some interesting meetings, full of things she didn’t want to think about right now, so some relaxation in the form of murdering pixelated enemies sounded appealing to her. Of … Read more
The Waterfall Cafe was always quiet in the evenings. It was built and run for the office staff who worked in the main Palaestra government buildings, meaning that after 9pm, everyone would have gone home aside from a handful of emergency staff. The cafe, aside from the small, indoor waterfall in the centre of the … Read more
“You heard everything, didn’t you?” Psiksi and Kayen sat awkwardly at the table while the Thantophor paced up and down. “You heard every word we said.” The Thantophor didn’t seem angry. But neither of them could really tell. He was just pacing up and down, looking like a perfectly normal yet slightly bemused Skyavok. “You … Read more
Kayen and Psiksi had been chilling at Arkay’s place for a while. At first, they felt like they were intruding or getting in the way, but Arkay, better known as Arkadin, the Lord of Death, just seemed really happy to have company. They had sat outside first while the Thantophor did various things inside, but … Read more
“You agreed to this pretty quickly…” Kayen muttered as he followed Psiksi up the stairs. “Well, I know exactly how you feel, so it’s pretty much my duty to help you!” Psiksi was a very brightly coloured Skyavok, pale skin with white and yellow armour. Kayen always thought he stood out with his orange and … Read more
“You alright, Kayen?” Kohra smiled as he let himself in, throwing his keys and wallet into a nearby bowl. Ever since the whole “being captured” thing, none of them had been particularly right. Kayen in particular had been taking it all rather badly. In fact, he had basically been living out of one of Phovos’s … Read more
“I just noticed! You didn’t say hello to those two mortal friends!” Thassallin gasped as he finished his fifth bowl of ice cream. “That was hours ago…” Arkadin sighed. He loved ice cream almost as much as Thassallin, but all he had in his bowl was a small puddle of lemon sorbet that had melted … Read more
Tenuk gave Kohra a friendly pat on the shoulder as he sat down at the table and handed him his ice cream. They’d both ordered the biggest thing on the menu, a triple chocolate surprise, which lied about the amount of chocolate it contained – rather than just the three advertised, the ice cream had … Read more
Ember screeched down the hallway, skidding around a couple of Cephalon Suda operatives before crashing into a pillar next to one of the ducat kiosks where Frost and Volt were standing. She quietly picked herself up, stared at Frost and Volt, then started whimpering. “I guess you saw the vision as well?” Frost grunted as … Read more
Are you lonely? Are you lost in the dark, endless depths of the multiverse? Are you the last survivor of a universe but are unable to create new life? Do you want someone to talk to? Someone to hold you and comfort you? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you are … Read more
“What are you… uh, doing?” Arkadin hovered nervously over the barren planet. Yisini was sitting on a mountaintop, rolling her eyes, while Epani played with a collection of various toys. Diggers, trucks, drills, the works. “Playing!” Epani beamed. Her smiles though abruptly stopped. “Oh no. We were supposed to follow the flat plan.” “You mean … Read more
The last couple of days had been a blur. Between the celebrations of people coming back to life, and government organizations wanting to question them, Phovos had barely had the time to sit down. Kohra had been reunited with his brother. Kayen had been reunited with his father. Timik managed to rejoin some of his … Read more
The three deities hovered over the barren planet, one that had never been touched by the gentle hands of life. That was soon about to change, but not quite yet. One of the three deities here had more important things to work out. “So why did you summon us again?” Yisini yawned. She desperately wanted … Read more
“He’s going to kill us…” Timik muttered as the four of them followed the Thantophor through a dimly glowing portal. The portal led them to a charred, formerly grassy terrain with the remains of a cottage house nearby. A dusty road and a concrete path around the house were the only things that had stopped … Read more
