Breaking the Truth

Kohra and Levik both felt somewhat uneasy as they waited in the narrow hallway. Sure, they had ten bodyguards with them, two of whom were Rethavok supplied by the Great Arenas, but they were also sharing a hallway with the mighty Lightbearer, a living legend that even the two Rethan guards feared. However, the two … Read more

Nasty Fever

Retvik felt hot, hotter than normal. This wasn’t good. Having the ability to manipulate things like heat, fire and plasma, Retvik rarely felt anything other than perfectly warm, as he would alter his internal body temperature to never feel too hot or cold. Right now though, whenever Retvik would cool himself down, about fifteen minutes … Read more

Reassuring the Others

Kindyna tapped her claws together as she sat impatiently in her chair, waiting for the other two guests to arrive. Yes, she was fifteen minutes early, but Kindyna was the current Vassil of the Ksithans, their Queen and Representative, she HAD to be early, she had appearances to keep. More annoyingly though, aside from an … Read more

Working On New Forms

Akah almost screamed as a long, noodly arm dragged him into the observatory as he walked past. But as Akah settled down and realised what was going on, he realised that someone randomly grabbing him was a good thing, because he was going to the wrong observatory. “Oh, hello! Are you all alright?” Akah glanced … Read more

New Matron Deity

Arkay had been hanging around the throne room, hiding in the shadows in the ceiling, for about an hour now. Despite being an utterly ancient being, he was never really sure how to approach beings of power. Banikans were easy to approach because they respected him, but most other creatures? It was always a toss … Read more

A Permanent Thread

Elksia found herself leaping back and forth, repeating herself, going around in circles. But no matter what she did, the Phantai in front of her was still lying there, unmoving. No, not unmoving. Dead. Gone. Another attempt. Elksia tried to alter the time threads around the battle. But no, every single time thread led to … Read more

Potentially Exposed

“Fuck no, no way, no fucking way, no no no!” Tenuk had wished he’d not checked his messages before the flight. The flight had been delayed by half an hour, so everyone was kinda stuck on board, waiting for, well, something. Things weren’t too bad, since Tenuk and his three friends were in their own … Read more

A Just Intervention

Epani glanced at her fellow deities as she sat down on her red and gold throne. They all looked weird. Armoured and angry. “My dear deities, why are all three of you dressed as Rethavok today? Do you not have your own races to dress as?” Arkay crossed his arms and grunted but didn’t answer. … Read more

Not Leaving

“Arkay! I am so happy to see you! You need to stay with me! We need to stay together! The Allbirther demands it but also I demand it! We…” Kuta fell silent, covering their mouth. In their excitement and relief, they realized they were speaking far too quickly. The Thantophor remained in the doorway for … Read more

Cross Crossed Deities

“WHERE IS EPANI?” “WHERE IS ARKAY?” Kairos and Sini both realized they had shouted at each other at exactly the same time. The Whenvern apologized first, but only because he was the God of Time and thus faster than Sini. However, he was quite surprised that Sini also apologized. Normally the female deities of this … Read more

A Time-Based Examination

Most of the observatories on the Shimmering Blade were open to everyone, but this one in particular had a sign on the door, loudly stating “quiet please” and “Thantir only”. Inside, nine desks had been set up, eight of them facing the ninth, arranged like a small classroom. There were seats for everyone, as well … Read more

Rumbling Aftermath

Kuta couldn’t help but panic as they opened their eyes. They could not remember anything that had happened in the last 24 hours and they couldn’t feel their legs. Kuta was also in a lot of pain, but, being a Rethan, that didn’t bother them nearly as much as the lack of feeling. As Kuta’s … Read more

Mission Accomplished

“So, uh, Retvik, can you actually drive?” Retvik frowned as he awkwardly sipped from a very tiny champagne glass. After their stupid adventure, the four of them were now sitting in an extra large jacuzzi, eating fancy food and drinking fancy drinks. The locals were very happy that the big scary monsters were no longer … Read more
