Contract Signed

“What happened to signing things like civilized individuals?” Rethais glanced down at the table in front of him. On it were one large sheet of paper, 16 soft, cotton towels and 16 needles, hermetically sealed in plastic. “You would rather just use a pen to sign your name on this?” the purple, serpentine monster behind … Read more

Join and Split

“You won’t let us try and fix him?” Kuta protested he and Litvir followed Retvik, who was carrying their fellow unconscious Decay Lord towards their ship. Ahead of them, their boss, Decay Lord Galyn, was waiting for them. “Why can we not try and fix him? Why-” Litvir hissed at Kuta, harshly suggesting that he … Read more

A Line Crossed

This new landscape was pleasing to Arkidetelos. Blackened, bloodied. Battered. Broken. But most importantly, dying. The entire floating island was to be destroyed and consumed by him, starting with the dead, golden-armoured entities that littered what was once a beach and small forest. However, among the devastation, Arkidetelos saw something moving. Something small and red, … Read more

Rage Fulfilled

“That is… a lot of dark, scary entities…” Kuta peered out of the window from behind the curtain, trying to count the wall of black and gold, antlered Voidborns. They had clearly caught wind of their falling brethren and were now ominously surrounding the small, tropical island, waiting for someone to come out and greet … Read more

Unwarranted Anger

Arkay snarled as golden blood dripped down the steps and seeped into the grass. That Voidborn had not been like the previous hopeful, potential boyfriends, not at all. Despite Arkay repeatedly saying that no, no one wanted to date the black and gold Voidborn that smelled weirdly of vanilla, the bastard had decided to get … Read more

An Offer of Bribery

“I cannot believe that we are all agreeing to this…” Rethais sighed. He and a handful of other leaders were putting themselves some food at the completely open and magically refilling canteen. While Kohra, the tiny Kronospast leader, was helping himself to way too much ice cream, Agapia and Ver, the Temthan Empress and Vrekan … Read more

Job Offer Decisions

Arkay wasn’t feeling right. He was tired and angry and hungry. Mostly the latter two. Arkay’s problems were made worse by the fact that, over the previous week, he and his fellow Decay Lords had run into all sorts of problematic little things. Ship parts randomly breaking down, communications failing randomly, the food and drink … Read more

Whether to Say Yes

“I wish I brought a lawyer or two with me…” Kayel muttered as he re-read a paragraph for the seventh time. His mutterings were met with much agreement from the heavily built Rethavok on one side, the beaked Vrekan on the other and the slender-bodied, robed Cassid sitting in front of him. “I AM a … Read more

Repeating Patterns

“Things are too good right now.” Litvir looked up from his bowl of meaty stew to where Arkay was standing. He was in the middle of making himself a sandwich, but seemed to have just frozen in place. However, the emotions emanating from the little Decay Lord were anything but still. “Arkay, is something wrong?” … Read more

The Portalian Offer

A soft, floral scent filled the room as the colossal, serpentine entity appeared, surrounded by a haze of pink clouds and lilac sparkles. The Allbirther had arrived, with an awkward smile on her face. “My darlings!” Yisini beamed, surveying her surroundings and counting everyone up. “I am so, so sorry for the delay. Unfortunately Kinisis … Read more
