“Hey, Retvik. How is your arm?” Trismit perched on the juvenile swing set in an empty playground. All around them was nothing but rubberised tarmac and various abandoned play equipment, mostly just more swings and a couple of twisted metal contraptions, which existed solely to be climbed on. Standing below Trismit was the one Rethan … Read more

“Hey, Seimeni, just wanted to let you know that I made it home, safe and sound.” Arkadin re-read that sentence three times before hitting the Send button, then sighed loudly. Between spending time at the big party, the overexertion from teleporting home and the pile of work Arkadin needed to get through, he had a … Read more

The colossal golden gateway opened up, revealing Kinisis and Arkadin, both who seemed pretty happy. Kenon stood to one side, holding a tray with several glasses of water on them, which he immediately thrust into the two little deities’ hands. “Did you have a good trip?” Kairos cooed from a little perch above the gate, … Read more

“You’re drunk.” Kinisis leaned back in her seat, smiling obnoxiously, staring out the window. Outside was nothing but darkness, a perpetually empty void. “I am very, very drunk!” “Insanely drunk.” Arkadin sat opposite her, swirling a glass of fizzy, pink liquid in his hand. Many of the other Life Goddesses had left, taking their spawn … Read more

“How are you feeling today?” Trismit twiddled his thumbs, staring at the ceiling. He was lying in a very large bed made completely out of pillows, all insanely soft to the point that he felt like he was sinking. To his left was a large, tinted window with pale pink curtains, overlooking the city of … Read more

Arkadin sat on his little stool in the corner, sipping a glass of water, wishing he was anywhere else in the multiverse right now. This was not the sort of party he had imagined it would be. All around him were drunk, female deities, dancing and chatting and chittering to one another, as if they … Read more

“So, what now, Kinisis?” Arkadin asked as he washed his hands then began to tidy away all the kitchen utensils. “What now?” Kinisis was floating above the kitchen counter, cleaning up with her massive tail, not getting her hands dirty. She was already covered in flour and powered sugar, but Arkadin just assumed she liked … Read more

“Thank you…” Gath smiled as he watched Retvik prod at a bowl of food. Retvik clearly wasn’t very hungry, but he was trying to eat something. He needed to eat since he’d just swallowed a good number of tablets and didn’t want to have an empty stomach. “As always, you are welcome, Retvik. You do … Read more

“It’s… been a while since I last came here…” Arkadin muttered as he followed the insanely long tail of Kinisis into the large kitchen. The rest of Kinisis was in the other room, rummaging through stainless steel shelves and cupboards. “Oh?” “Yeah.” “When WAS the last time you were here?” Arkadin thought back, trying to … Read more

“Hey, kiddo…” Arkadin rolled his eyes as he turned away from the screen. Perched on the chair behind him was Kinisis, the Allmaker, the creator of this universe and, technically, Arkadin’s mother. Technically. “You weren’t gone long.” “Yep. I know. I got questions for you.” Arkadin took a deep breath and turned off the computer … Read more

“Hey kiddo!” The warm, friendly voice was met with stony silence as Arkadin continued his work, clearly in the middle of something important. Everything was dark and gloomy in the tiny little office, aside from a single beam of light pointed at a microscope, providing the only illumination in the room. “Uh, kid?” Arkadin remained … Read more

“Good morning, Kinisis, did you rest well?” The Allmaker kicked the blankets off her bed. Both she and Kenon knew that Kinisis never really slept, she would just take short breaks with her eyes closed, but Kinisis appreciated the sentiment. Everything within this cute little bedroom seemed rather ill-fitting for the being that created the … Read more

“Retvik, I am so happy to hear your voice!” Gath’s deep, booming voice echoed down the crackly line. He seemed slightly out of breath, as if he had rushed off to answer the call. Retvik briefly wondered why, then decided to just talk. He had a lot of things on his mind and sitting in … Read more

“Hey Gath!” Psiksi waved as the front door opened up. He and Kass had arrived as soon as they could, after Tenuk had called them saying that Gath didn’t seem right. “What’s up?” The hulking Rethan grunted, looking not at all amused by this unexpected interruption. The two Skyans both peered past Gath and into … Read more
