Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Arkay “You have news, Tessar?” Tessar was the General of Deitic Affairs, and they had been very busy over the last few days. But they had reached the end of their research and had requested a meeting between them, the Generals of the Legions of External and Hidden Affairs and the High General. They had also … Read more
The table was already covered in glasses and bottles, as well as a few starters. Arkay, Vick and Tahnaiious Tenuk had been sitting, chatting and having the occasional drink, waiting for their last buddy to arrive. And they had been waiting for quite a while. Eventually, metal foot cuffs could be heard scraping against the … Read more
“You fixed things up pretty quickly.” Aesop yawned, then waved at Aster as he appeared at the entrance to what was planned to be Elkay’s private book club room, but was now just a room full of sofas and tables, all empty. Literally a few rooms over, a deity had died, having thrown several other … Read more
Things had finally settled down, but Litvir’s feelings were all over the place. So Litvir did what they always did and went to the hatch at the top of the universe, in order to calm themselves down a little. Sure, they knew what that purple dot was now, but everything else had been very worrying. … Read more
Relkir felt oddly wobbly as Elkay pulled them and their kid through a shadow, and the three of them appeared underneath a familiar tree. In front of them was that adorable little orange-painted half-house, and waiting for them were three happy faces. Elkay stepped back a little bit, allowing the colossal Rethan to plod over … Read more
“From the unease on everyone’s faces, I think I can kinda guess the news…” Lissandra crossed her arms and sighed, but the rest of her fellow Divine Guardians seemed to be fine. “So Sini is gone and you’re taking over?” Vexer asked. Elkay-En nodded but paused. “Well… she’s not gone. She’s gone back to her … Read more
Sini sighed to herself as her body changed shape. She needed to be less of a Life Goddess, more of a Time God now, and her body was in the middle of making that reality. Silky scales became thicker and edgier, her well-trimmed nails became talons and a pair of draconic wings sprung from her … Read more
“So much for my book club…” The Shadow was clearly annoyed. Anyone could tell just by looking, as shadowy tendrils were floating on his back. Elkay was normally a very calm person, so the fact that his elemental affinity was showing meant he was feeling defensive. “Is that what you were doing here?” Kayel asked … Read more
Dalosisaar may have been trying to keep his calm as he has ordered his fellow deities around, but now that the important work had been mostly done, now that he had gathered the Twelve Anew in one place, the cracks were showing. Every mention of his name caused a sigh, every mention of Kairos’s name … Read more
As Relkir’s eyes snapped open, the first thing they did was try to look around for their kid. They had seen the monstrous Thraki throw Litvir around like a ragdoll, and the sight of Relkir’s beloved daughter bleeding, clutching their arm and trying to get up and stand on a broken leg had driven Relkir … Read more
“He… he’s gone…” Sini felt hollow. There were words in her mind, in the back of her throat, but they weren’t coming out. “He is gone, yes… Sini, sister, I missed you.” “I missed you too, Epani… You… you kept the place nice while I was gone…” “Well, I tried… I had some help though…” … Read more
The blade cut deep. Deeper and deeper. Down into flesh and muscle. Deeper still. Into eyes and nostrils. Through softened, diseased bone. And still deeper. Into vital organs. Through a sickened mind. The rage-fuelled stabs continued, seemingly without end. The owner of the blackened, holy blade had no real idea what was going on. All … Read more
“I have so many questions…” Kayel muttered to himself as they reached their target. Normally universes were surrounded with a black, inky substance known as Vastskin, that kept the universe in and the void out. But this universe’s Vastskin was solid and diamond-coloured. “Why have you not been asking them then?” Elkay-En asked. “Because I … Read more
“Are you feeling better now?” Litvir asked as Elkay exited a small, white villa. “Yes, but I do not know how being stabbed in the stomach fixed whatever was wrong with me…” Elkay grunted, then stretched his arms and started walking, towards the edge of the Pink Paradise. Both his telepathy and Litvir’s telepathy were … Read more
“Elkay! Elkay! Need to speak to you right now!” Elkay should have been annoyed at one of his fellow Twelve Anew interrupting his private times, doubly so since he’d informed them all that he was taking most of the weekend off, but, firstly, he was used to it, and, secondly the sheer panic in Kohra’s … Read more
