“Thank you for coming with me, Tenuk!” Kayel smiled nervously as they walked down the rather empty street. The Skyan district of Salla was normally full of vok rushng up and down, buying last minute presents for the national holiday of Macromera, but ever since the… incident, a lot of Skyans had just closed up … Read more

“Thank you for stepping in, Lightbearer, despite your, uh, injuries and predicaments.” Retvik lowered his head, then adjusted his helmet, tying the straps beneath his chin. He had opted for his tougher, gold-plated helmet today, since he was about to fight what was essentially a dragon. “Dear Raptor, I have said it many times, you … Read more

The Spast stared into the mirror, thinking to himself. He’d been completely unable to sleep, a side-effect from his memory-returning medication. This wasn’t his bathroom, no, it belonged to the kindly Rethavok who had let him and his new friend Nyssi stay the night. As his memories returned though, he had become more and more … Read more

The Dower’s Inn was always rather empty at this time of night, but at least it was open. The bar was designed to cater towards young, studying Ksithans, who often studied online part time, often late at night after work, and because of this, every table was fitted with various cables and power banks. Still, … Read more

“Hey, you there?” Retvik stepped to one side a the doctor exited the room, then entered himself. His new friend Kayel was sitting on the bed, looking healthier than ever. “I am here. Is something wrong, Kayel?” Kayel hesitated. “Yes and no.” “Do you want to talk?” “Yes.” Kayel fidgeted. Retvik sat down on a … Read more

“Oh. Oh no. Please don’t kill me!” Nyssi stared at the Spast who had been sleeping in her spare bed. She’d found him there a day ago, somehow having let himself in and fallen asleep. What had initially crept Nyssi out was that he had looked exactly like her, but when she prodded what she … Read more

“SINI!” Arkadin’s voice echoed down the pink crystal corridor, to no response. “SINI, I NEED YOU.” Still nothing. The Death God clutched his side, leaning against the wall. Pouring along the ground behind him was shimmering black blood, speckled with small points of light. “SINI!” Arkadin pressed his hand against the wall. As he did … Read more

Retvik stepped out of the room to give Gavir’s family some space. Unfortunately, his friend hadn’t made it, succumbing to internal injuries and lung damage. The wails of his poor partner had probably unsettled Retvik more than Gavir’s death. There was nothing like the scream of a lost one. Wandering into the hallway, Retvik quickly … Read more

Nyssi woke up to a weird feeling of warmth and wetness. But not in a good way. As her eyes blinked open, Nyssi quickly realized that the source of the warmth and the wetness was a puddle of her own blood. And she was lying on the floor but not in her own home. The … Read more

“Officer, if you just let me go upstairs, I can grab all the licenses proving the legality of this place…” Kayel was supposed to have been getting ready for his lesson, but Efess, the receptionist, had requested that he cover for her for ten minutes while she took an important phone call. That was understandable, … Read more

“Ow.” With a snap of his finger, a small mote of light appeared in Retvik’s hand. Most Rethavok, despite being aligned with the element of light, were unable to actually use the element itself. Retvik was one of the few exceptions, and even then, he couldn’t do much with it. However, right now, that tiny … Read more

“We come to you today outside the remains of the Holy Four Hotel in Kazaks, the Spast-run town in Portalia, where a horrible event has just occurred…” There had once been a large building here.
