Tale – Psiksi’s Worries

Arkay for a change was happy. He was busy sorting out piles of registration forms, to be delivered to the Rethan Registration Offices in Hertany.

Tale – The Voice in the Night

“My beloved children…” No one expected the booming voice of Stasis to ring in everyone’s ears. No matter where each Deitic was, they heard the voice, clearer than their own. “I have an idea. A plan.” Tenuk was lying in bed when he heard it. So his side was yet another partner, his fourth in … Read more

Tale – Realization at the Kolasi Nest

“Korak, are you there?” Korak seemed to be ignoring everyone lately.

Talok didn’t mind, he was a Varga, a feral, adult male Vohra, he just liked the attention. … Read more

Tale – Mind Tampering Ways

“So you’re, uh, unstable, huh?” Teekay asked as he sat down next to Envee. “That is none of your concern.” “Well, it is since your brother told me to speak to you. Similar problems.” Envee looked up, confused. “You hear voices?” “Sometimes,” Teekay replied. “They’ve said awful things to me. There’s… a reason I’m no … Read more

Tale – Thitavee’s New Job

“Why am I shaking?” Thitavee asked himself as he waited outside the glass-roofed office. All around him were books, specimens and all sorts of unusual items. Mostly books though. Occasionally, he’d see a Θ–Class Ksa wander by. Some would wave, some would look confused. Some of them, Thitavee wondered if they were the same person, … Read more

Tale – The Vice Generals’ Debates

There were cameras everywhere, but no other beings apart from Rethais, Kayelar and the moderator, a senior Rethan by the name of Dyphon Kalliergos.

Tale – Voices in Recordings and the Mind

“Esvee.” “Is there a problem?” “I need… I need a word. Yes, a word.” “What is the problem?” “I…” “Envee, speak.” “The voices. They’re back.” “All of them?” “Yes.” “Including…” “Yes. Especially that… I’m sorry…” “Have you been taking your medication?” “Yes. Always.” “Three times a day?” “Yes! OF COURSE… Sorry.” “How long?” “Most of … Read more

Tale – Catching up with the 471st Legion

The legion was currently out on a large training exercise, camping in a large field north of the tattered parts … Read more

Tale – A Running Mate’s Meeting

Rethais sat at the back of the bar, waiting patiently. There was no one else around apart from the barkeeper. His small team of Ksa and bodyguards were all outside, keeping everyone else away. Apart from one person. One person who had just been allowed in. “I apologise for being late, my friend.” Friend. That … Read more

Tale – Meeting between Monsters

Thanatos always considered himself to be a tall, powerful and all-round large Thanatian, but even he was dwarfed by the size of the Banikan king he was secretly meeting. This Banikan, Lek’Ril of the united Water Tribes, was so huge, Thanatos did not understand how he was capable of standing. Five and a half metres … Read more

Tale – Perhaps Not Such a Good Deal?

“So let me get this straight,” Tenuk growled as he stomped across the room. “You gave up your own soul to die in a short amount of time and serve Death for eternity, in exchange for a bunch of people you didn’t even know and a guy who is immortal?” Arkay blinked, unsure how to … Read more

Tale – Free Cookies

“That’s a fuckton of cookies…” Gath watched as the six tiny Rethans ran around the kitchen, all neatly organized in their pursuit to bake lots of cookies. He had no idea why the hell they were baking cookies, but it amused the giant Ethran-type, seeing them acting all busy. “It’s actually only about a hundred … Read more

Tale – Debating about Debates

“You finally decided to accept my invitation,” Photeianos smiled, a crooked, mean-spirited smile he normally saved for enemies. Elkay and Rethais had both seen this smile before, but this was the first time they were the enemies, not someone else. “We have been very busy, Photianos,” Elkay tutted. “What do you want? We have work … Read more

Tale – Protective Cell

“Please, let me in!” Thitavee-En bashed on the tattered, wooden door. He considered tearing it off its hinges and forcing his way in, but as he was about to do so, the door swing upon. Standing in the doorway was Veyar, looking rather bemused. “What.” “Please, I need somewhere safe to go! My master threatened … Read more
