“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

Tenuk approached the large, green dome with caution. Standing around it was a large, white, gun metal and blue Veth with what looked like wings.

The sun was slowly rising over some mountains to the east, … Read more
