Leaving Early

Arkadin had planned to sneak out while everyone else was asleep, but it turned out he wasn’t as sneaky as he’d expected. Just as he was about to open the door out of the small Skyan apartment, he heard a little voice behind him. “You are leaving?” Elkay wearily asked, getting up from the pillow … Read more

A Macromera Drink

“Happy Second Day, Arkay!” Arkadin glanced up at the tall, gangly, blue and silver Rethan standing above him. He had been sitting on a bench outside a block of apartments for a couple of hours now, just sulking in the rain. The sudden interruption was a welcome one. “Happy Macromera to you too, Tenuk…” Arkadin … Read more

The First Day of Macromera

“Wow, you… you look really well!” Retvik and Gath hid their gasps as the front door to the cosy apartment opened up, revealing Elkay wearing a silly red hat. The last time either of them had seen Elkay, he had been rather ill, had lost a lot of weight and overall looked pale. Now, he … Read more

Small Volt’s Small Dream

“Hey, is that your friend there?” Khora nudged at Volt as they both exited Khora’s bright pink Railjack. Khora herself was decorated in white and red, with her pet cat Venari’s metallics matching, but the railjack was so bright that it put Volt and his yellow-ness to shame. They had just finished a mission that … Read more

Shouting Racial Arguments

“I told you, no more than a few hours ago, NOT TO INTERFERE!” Kenon’s voice echoed across the hall, bouncing off the brightly lit ceiling and lilac curtained windows as the Voidborn stomped down towards the other two occupants in the room. While Arkadin was somewhat shocked about how angry Kenon was, Kinisis sat in … Read more

Warning from Another Source

“General, I must tell you…” Arkadin skidded to a halt physically and verbally as he poofed into existence in the middle of the fancy bedroom. “Oh. I am so sorry. I completely forgot you had a partner.” Rethais sighed as he lifted himself off Lysar and rolled out of bed, straightening himself out and wrapping … Read more

Watching Voidborn

Arkadin had been hiding in the shadows for a few hours now. He had initially left the Crystal Palace of the Time Dragon after seeing a strange anomaly, but one anomaly had led to another anomaly and now Arkadin was somewhat stuck in a corner, watching as his father, Kenon, worked in utter silence, while … Read more

Kaldoran’s Warning

“High General Rethais! Ser, I need to speak to you urgently, in private!” Kaldoran had always been a very quiet yet loyal Rethan, never someone who spoke out of line. A Rethan so dedicated to medicine and science that he would spend days and days locked away inside his office, his own soldiers having to … Read more

Late for Work

“You overslept. Again.” Everywhere was cold and horrible, except Arkadin’s bed, which was nice and warm and covered in soft blankets and pillows. Unfortunately, Arkadin was expected to get out of bed and step into the cold world that was both Kairos’s crystal palace and reality in general. “I want five more minutes.” “Tough. Get … Read more

Macromera Planning

Gath had been sighing and tutting all day, and Retvik wasn’t really sure why. The last week or so had been an absolute blur for Retvik as he was recovering from various injuries, mostly his broken arm, but also a multitude of hospital check-ups and other rather annoying medical tasks. Gath on the other hand … Read more

Discussion of a Third

“I thought Lokmahro sent you home for the day?” Phovos snapped, growling at the polite knocking on the door. She could see who it was through the frosted glass window at the top. “May I come in?” the being on the other side was, clearly a familiar face. Phovos hesitated, then sighed, quickly relenting. She … Read more

The Adventures of Volt and Smaller Volt

“Hey, space mum!” Volt rolled his neural sensors as he received another message from an Excalibur he had recently taken under his wing. Unlike the first Excalibur, who seemed to know what he was doing and just lacked the firepower, this Excalibur was filled with questions. Questions and annoying nicknames for Volt. “Please don’t call … Read more

Burning of the Army

Senk Ini’Tar could only watch as the land around her burned, towers of flame ripping through her armies, tearing her world asunder. Mere hours ago, she had been marching through the streets of this freshly captured city, having proudly taken it over in the name of the Serpentine Lord. The heretics living here didn’t understand … Read more

Home From Work Early

“You’re home early!” Teekay had been cutting vegetables and slices of bacon when the door slipped open, revealing a rather weary Elkay, who skulked in, slamming the door shut behind him and throwing himself on the nearest pile of cushions. “I am…” Elkay grunted. Teekay stopped what he was doing, bounced over to the fridge … Read more

Another Deity’s Question

Kairos perched on the windowsill, having flown in from across the universe carrying a bag of ingredients. Despite the fact that he was a large dragon with a 200m wingspan, he seemed absolutely tiny sitting there in the window. For reasons unknown, the owner of the massive house Kairos had flown into had grown even … Read more
