There were times when Retvik wasn’t sure how he ended up in a position and now was one of those times. He was one of the Dessaron, and he was currently in charge of the Dessaron Battle Arenas. Currently. Temporarily. The scheduling matches and keeping fans entertained was a lot of fun. The paperwork not … Read more
“WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY KSA?” Elkay roared as he charged into the sparsely guarded High General’s office. “WHAT DID YOU DO, PHOTEIANOS?” Photeianos glanced up from his desk at the angry but also rather cute-looking Threan-type standing in his doorway. “Protecting you, kid.” Elkay stomped into the room and stood at Photeianos’ desk, wings … Read more

Kalsa Warrior Korak had been on Entrance Duty for the last 15 hours. She was sick and tired of it, but she was due to finish in a few minutes. She’d arranged to spend an hour with her best friend Talok, also the leader of Group A-L, her Kalsa regiment. They’d been meaning to get … Read more
“Someone get the damn door!” Tenuk shouted angrily from the bathroom. Arkay, who had been asleep all day due to a nasty headache, woke up from the lounge and wearily went to the entrance of the Dessaron’s quarters. He flung the door open, not expecting to see two Rethan officers standing there. “Are you Arkay … Read more
Translated from Laniaglos, language of the Lania Come, children, come listen. For I have the reasons behind the blackening of the sky, the destruction of our highest mountain, the fleeing of time. I saw them with my own four eyes, I heard their battle. Life and Death came together as one. The skies blackened when … Read more
“You know what I’m going to say, don’t you?” Arkay nodded. He didn’t need to say anything, he just wanted Skios to get it over with. He’d finally gotten out of hospital. Thankfully, apart from a small infection from an injury, he was perfectly fine. The Deitics hadn’t done anything worrying to Skios. But that … Read more

I have been watching since the Phovan universe faded into emptiness, waiting as its remaining particles decay and eventually bloom into something new. These blooms grow into new universes, each governed by new rules, somewhat related to their mother universe but different enough to be new entities of their own. The Artikai universe is one … Read more
Tenuk sighed as he sat down on the little glass stool, while he waited for Death to finish off whatever she was doing. Whatever it was, it involved a lot of screaming, which abruptly came to a halt. Finally, the wall ahead of him opened up and a couple of Veth charged out, carrying two … Read more
“Wow, you look really bloody depressed today, Tenuk!” Death waved the lanky Rethan towards her, before disappearing behind a curtain of shadows and smoke. She was clearly trying to be suggestive but it wasn’t working. “You know exactly why I am depressed, Death!” Tenuk sighed. “What in the name of the Li-” Tenuk paused. He … Read more
