Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Phovos Rethais couldn’t decide between being shocked or being insulted. The rest of the Circle had settled on shocked AND insulted. Their very own High General, a vok of sense and reason, had just stood in front of them and claimed he wasn’t 100% Rethan but in fact half ‘corrupted’, whatever that meant. “Excuse me, Elkay…” … Read more
“It is a poor move to barge into the office of a ruler without asking permission. Or at the very least making an appointment…” The High General of the Retha didn’t even look up from whatever it was he was doing. It was almost as if he didn’t care that Stasis, the Lord of the … Read more
“You two have no idea how angry I am with you.” Kinisis paced up and down, each step causing the ground to shudder ever so slightly. Kairos and Stasis kept their eyes on her, trying to ignore the massive amount of construction going on behind them. “We’re lucky we caught this early. This could have … Read more
“Hey Keith!” Veeyel shouted as he knocked on the door. “Can I come in yet?” The centaur-like creature stomped his hooves in frustration. Veeyel could see him through the frosted windows, looking around for something. “Keith, you alright?” The door flew open, nearly hitting Veeyel, before flying back and slamming shut. A second attempt at … Read more
Keith couldn’t help but laugh as he watched Arkay flail around on the floor, having fallen out of his bunk bed. Really, he should have been sympathetic, it seemed like Arkay had been woken by a bad dream, but he was an angel of death or something like that, he could withstand a bump on … Read more
“Well this is great…” Kinisis rolled her eyes as she watched the rivers slowly drain away. “Completely block me out, why don’t you?” The Lady of the Cycle turned to face one of her servants, who had just entered the room. “Kinisis…” “Is it good news?” she immediately snapped. “Otherwise I don’t want to know.” … Read more
“You’re making an honourable sacrifice.” That’s the last thing I remember being told. Just before I was flung into that pit. “Thanks to you, everyone else gets to live.” I was conscious while they tore into me. Turning me and my allies into the same horrible monsters they were. I tried so hard to fight … Read more
A small fire crackled, heating up a pot of Weedling, a popular marijuana-like drug among the locals. It was evening, Keith had closed up early and no one else had even attempted to pop by. It was just him, Arkay and the relaxing smoke coming from the pot of drugs. Opposite Keith, Arkay was sitting … Read more
“WHERE IS HE?” Stasis bellowed as he stormed through the entrance of the cloud castle, wisps of blackness flowing off him. Kairos though didn’t respond. He was concentrating on a large, cloudy, glowing orb that was hovering between his hands. “TELL ME WHAT YOU DID WITH HIM!” Still no response. Stasis charged up and stamped … Read more
“So, everyvok’s immortal again, huh?” Veeksiar sighed as he stared out of the domed window that made for the roof of the Great Library. “Twice in what, five years? Clearly my lunatic theory that the Dessaron reappearing broke the flow of the universe is true.” Elkay didn’t say anything as he approached. Instead he simply … Read more
“You’d think, being suddenly immortal, everyone would calm down a bit…” Arkay woke up with a shock. Was someone talking to him? Why was the floor made out of wood? Why did everything smell like alcohol? Where was he? Something fluttered by. A broom. Kicking up dust. “Huh, you awake now?” They WERE talking to … Read more
“This… isn’t the spaceport…” Arkay muttered as consciousness returned to him. “This is clearly some sort of large, glass cage…” The Veth Prime rubbed his eyes, then had a look around. Everything looked rather cloudy and foggy, but also rather… nice, almost. “Hey, kiddo!” Something suddenly burst out of the clouds. A huge dragon with … Read more
Arkay was supposed to be in Kinigi right now. Normally, whenever Arkay summoned his shadowy cloak, he’d disappear in a puff of smoke and reappear wherever it was he wanted to go. For some reason, that clearly wasn’t happening right now. At first, Arkay wondered if maybe Kinisis wasn’t letting him back because he hadn’t … Read more
Kairos never liked Stasis’s home. Too much black. Too many tacky golden ornaments. Alright, Kairos spent half his free time in a castle made of clouds, but that was at least cute and comfortable. Nothing around here was comfortable. But he needed to speak to Stasis. “Helloooooo? Staaaaaasis? Are you heeeeeere?” Something rumbled. Then something … Read more
“Been a while, Tenuk,” Arkay muttered as he made himself some sort of hot drink. Tenuk assumed it was tea, but it smelled of cocoa. Maybe it was a hot chocolate. “Death’s busy, she’ll be down here a bit later.” Tenuk shrugged and looked around. The main kitchen area of Death’s living quarters had changed. … Read more
