Watching From The Rich Seats

“Hey big brother!” Levik hated being called that. As far as Levik was concerned, he had no family, he was a single, unnamed, unknown individual trapped in a body that wasn’t his. But the rest of the universe constantly told him that he was Levik tou Ahvran, the second son of the Lord King of … Read more

Yet Another Chat With A Fellow Gladiator

“Hello, Psiksi!” Psiksi glanced up from what he was doing. He was currently eating lunch and watching a match in the arena below, while also fiddling with his health meter. He was pretty sure he’d damaged it during his last battle against an overly arrogant Temthan challenger, and was trying to recalibrate it to show … Read more

Together For A Bit

“Come in, dear…” Retvik hadn’t even knocked on the door as it swung open. Then again, that was to be expected, since Litvir was a powerful telepath and instantly knew Retvik was standing outside. He also knew that everyone else on board was asleep, aside from Tenuk, who was in the cockpit keeping an eye … Read more

A Brief Split

“So, you are ditching us?” Koh stopped what he was doing and rubbed his neck joint, which felt weird ever since he’d had his head welded back on. After a moment, he turned his attention to the being that had spoken to him. “No, not ditching you. Just finishing off our work before we rejoin … Read more

Big Bad Offer

Tenuk was rather confused as he reached the private training area for his team, Xeno Dessaron One. The lights were all off, and there was a strange, meaty, rotten smell coming from somewhere in the room. However, he could definitely hear movement, and as Tenuk opened the door, the lights abruptly snapped back on. “Heya, … Read more

Assorted Messages

Deathbringer: Hey guys, you two alright? It’s rare to see you online, Retvik. Flamebearer: Considering what is going on, I felt like I needed to hear a friendly voice. Or at least read one. Deathbringer: Fair enough. Is everything alright? Souldrainer: No. Something possessed Galyn, made him attack us to the point of nearly murdering … Read more

Going Elsewhere

“I swear, you Thantir are fucking cursed!” The fact that Tah, a normally rather calm being who very rarely said anything worse than ‘darn’, had just loudly cursed and thrown something across the room, was a sign that things were certainly not well. His recently repaired left arm was missing again, and one of his … Read more

Brutal Insanity

Litvir wasn’t quite sure where his lower intestine was. To be fair, he didn’t particularly need it any more, he hadn’t eaten solid food in at least a month, but it was currently missing, having been torn out by the rampaging beast that abruptly broken free in the middle of a mental scan, in which … Read more

Third’s Rage

As Retvik made his way down to the cockpit, he was feeling very unsure about things. In his hand was Galyn’s personal communicator, which he had been scanning through for the last ten minutes. The plan was supposed to have been simple, to call Galyn’s old companions, his other Thirds, and get them to help … Read more

Stabilizing Failure

“I hate this body…” Tah clicked and crackled as his old, battered form jolted back into life. His current body was currently lying on the ground, since Tah’s Krana-brain wasn’t powering it, but considering what had just happened with Galyn going insane and attacking everyone, they needed someone that Galyn recognized. And, according to Litvir’s … Read more

Sudden Madness

Green, slightly corrosive goo covered the walls and the room’s occupants as Galyn exploded back to life, pulling himself out of his healing cocoon. After taking a few moments to remember how to be alive and conscious, the elder Decay Lord scanned his surroundings, trying to work out where he was. “Did that happen last … Read more

Inconvenient Message

“So… you have brothers?” Sini asked as she inspected the large pile of bones and teeth that Arkay had brought to her. “Technically? Yes. But that’s not important.” Arkay had been trying to get Sini to focus on the task at hand, but she was insisting on asking all sorts of questions. “But Kinisis only … Read more

The Banikan Team

While tour guides were common around the Great Dessaron Battle Arenas, there was one area where visitors were forbidden to go, where challengers feared to tread and only the bravest of house fighters were allowed to visit. The Panicked Wardens was a heavily barricaded area where the Banikan house fighters of the Great Arena trained … Read more
