Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Phovos “I believe we are in the clear, at least for now…” Underneath the vast buildings that made up the cornerstone of Rethan society, there were a vast number of tunnels and sewers, designed to provide shelter and safety in case of emergencies. Despite all that had happened though in the last few hours, the majority … Read more
Kenon smiled as he watched Rethans pour into the city below. It had only been a few mere hours since he had taken control of this race, but everything was going swimmingly. Sure, there had been a couple of distractions, what with a few Rethavok dying and a few Rethavok not dying, but Kenon’s plan … Read more
“I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL OF THE BLADES, FOR THE RIGHT TO RULE OVER THE RETHAVOK!” Photeianos stood proudly in the middle of the room, branded in golden armour and studded with glistening gems. In one hand he held a long, golden sword. In the other he held a golden pistol, ready to fire. … Read more
“Thank goodness this year is nearly over…” Elkay sighed as he watched the sun set in the distance. By his side was his partner Teekay, rubbing his eyes from just how bright everything was. While Teekay had absolutely loved living on Portalia, enjoying the life he had missed out on in his youth, the bright … Read more
“You feel it too, do you not?” Out of all the ways Retvik had expected to see his brother Rethais, the way he was currently slumped at his desk, head in his hands, was not one of them. “The change? The draining of intelligence? The drought of debate? The lack of argument? How everyvok seems … Read more
“You look ill, High General!” Ver smiled as he swished his glass of mead. “You look genuinely absolutely awful. Being the boss too much work for you?” Rethais sighed, sitting down at the table opposite the King of the Vrekans. Ver was annoyingly right, Rethais was tired and stressed and looked as much. But Ver … Read more
The flight from Portalia City to Thre-Sypria had been surprisingly quiet, even by Rethan standards. Normally there would always be a little bit of chatter, some nervous looks, perhaps even the occasional late person running between flights, but this trip had been perfectly… normal. And very, very quiet. Maybe it was because there were only … Read more
“Good morning, Arkadin, was your trip pleasant?” Elkay was rather obviously hung over. He was wearing a scarf over his head, covering his eyes slightly, and leaning awkwardly against the door frame to his apartment. “Sorta. It’s hard to explain. Is everyone still here?” “No. Tenuk went off to see his siblings for a family … Read more
Arkadin had planned to sneak out while everyone else was asleep, but it turned out he wasn’t as sneaky as he’d expected. Just as he was about to open the door out of the small Skyan apartment, he heard a little voice behind him. “You are leaving?” Elkay wearily asked, getting up from the pillow … Read more
“Happy Second Day, Arkay!” Arkadin glanced up at the tall, gangly, blue and silver Rethan standing above him. He had been sitting on a bench outside a block of apartments for a couple of hours now, just sulking in the rain. The sudden interruption was a welcome one. “Happy Macromera to you too, Tenuk…” Arkadin … Read more
“Wow, you… you look really well!” Retvik and Gath hid their gasps as the front door to the cosy apartment opened up, revealing Elkay wearing a silly red hat. The last time either of them had seen Elkay, he had been rather ill, had lost a lot of weight and overall looked pale. Now, he … Read more
“Hey, is that your friend there?” Khora nudged at Volt as they both exited Khora’s bright pink Railjack. Khora herself was decorated in white and red, with her pet cat Venari’s metallics matching, but the railjack was so bright that it put Volt and his yellow-ness to shame. They had just finished a mission that … Read more
“I told you, no more than a few hours ago, NOT TO INTERFERE!” Kenon’s voice echoed across the hall, bouncing off the brightly lit ceiling and lilac curtained windows as the Voidborn stomped down towards the other two occupants in the room. While Arkadin was somewhat shocked about how angry Kenon was, Kinisis sat in … Read more
“General, I must tell you…” Arkadin skidded to a halt physically and verbally as he poofed into existence in the middle of the fancy bedroom. “Oh. I am so sorry. I completely forgot you had a partner.” Rethais sighed as he lifted himself off Lysar and rolled out of bed, straightening himself out and wrapping … Read more
Arkadin had been hiding in the shadows for a few hours now. He had initially left the Crystal Palace of the Time Dragon after seeing a strange anomaly, but one anomaly had led to another anomaly and now Arkadin was somewhat stuck in a corner, watching as his father, Kenon, worked in utter silence, while … Read more
