Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Phovos Argyros watched as the Rethan slumped across the office, lugging heavy boxes around and carelessly throwing things into them. He hadn’t seen the Rethan like this before, he had always assumed that Retha were just as tough and powerful as Vrekans were. To Argyros’ side was Baxavius, who was also watching with intent. “I have … Read more
My beloved Gath, It is horrible here. Cold. Damp. I can feel the sickness in the air, creeping underneath my armour, clawing down my throat. I cannot say that I do not deserve this though. I was hoping that, when we turned ourselves in, we’d remain locked in a Rethan prison, or at least a … Read more
The nine most powerful members of the Rethan race sat calmly on their plain, wooden chairs, along a long, equally plain table. In the middle of the table sat the High General, Photeianos Photeianou. To his right sat Vice General Elkay Theanon and the three generals of the North: Rethais Rethianos, Lepidas Kapetanio-Ksifon and Emthion … Read more
“Are you worried?” Baxavius hesitated as he followed Gath towards the base. “Worried about what, little Cassid?” Gath grunted. “There are many things one should be worried about. Working enough to provide for family and loved ones. Pondering whether this conflict will ever end. Being fearful for the health of my partner… You could do … Read more
Note: This is set on the 4th of February 2016 “Deep breath, ser.” “I know, Teekay, I know…” Elkay sucked in air through his nostrils, before slowly expelling it through his mouth. He hated press conferences with other-racial media. They were ravenous monsters. Gnashing and clawing at every little word one said. At least the … Read more

Agents of Renewal are mysterious beings who exist simply to make sure that mortal beings can live and die without others interfering. Most of their existence was unknown, considered myths and legends, until the lands of Kinigi were destroyed. There is only one known species of Agents of Renewal: Veth
Agents of Stasis, more commonly known as Deitics, are god-like beings with the ability to manipulate the universe around them. Once a Deitic is born, they cannot die of natural causes. They have no true physical forms, but anchor themselves to a physical body, a soulroot, that is created for them at birth. Should their … Read more
The mortal races are those which live normal lives, they are born, they live, they pay taxes (if applicable) then die. When a mortal being dies, their soul goes to Kinigi, where their soul is cleansed then reborn inside a new body. While the number of mortal beings (and thus souls) is not infinite, there … Read more

Note: As with several stories, the timing of this tale is unknown. “Kass, Vel, a word.” Gath stomped in. He stomped everywhere he went, due to his Ethran-type status, but there was a particularly serious tone to his stomping today. Vel and Kass both got up and followed Gath into the strategy room of their … Read more
Note: This may or may not have happened. Gath Tsoriou Where was I? At our team quarters in Palaestra. Kohgrah had been injured, I was on break and offered to take his place for a Dessaron battle. I was chatting with my dear friend Vel, while Kass was in the basement, having invited his friend … Read more
Note: This event may or may not have happened yet. The Deitics are soulless beings. They have no soul. No morality. That’s why they cling on to us mortals, because they are jealous of us, they want to know what it feels like to be mortal and to understand life as we do. They would … Read more
Note: This story is set about 100 years from present time. “Curious. Interesting perhaps.” Retvik sat up, then immediately fell back down, his body restrained by sharp, thorny bands across his arms and chest. Somevok was talking to him. The same somevok also had imprisoned the Retha. “This has not happened in a while.” Unable … Read more
Note: This story is set about 50 years from present time. “Tenuk, we should not be doing this!” Retvik had repeated that phrase a good thirty or fourty times, and every single time, Tenuk had ignored him and steamed forward with even more determination. He was a Half-Retha on a mission and not even his … Read more
