Night Aches

“Hey…” Arkay peered into the cockpit, where Galyn had settled down, switching between keeping an eye on autopilot, watching amusing videos, and dozing off. There was nothing to do, so Galyn was taking advantage of the peace and quiet to make some for himself. “You are up late…” Galyn  grunted, spotting Arkay’s shadow. “Can you … Read more

Liquid Regret

“You come back for five minutes and catastrophe follows you…” Kinisis clicked her tongue in annoyance. Epani’s statement was rather insulting, and she was currently preoccupied giving her Guardians jobs to do. Once Kinisis had snapped her fingers and sent her Guardians away, she turned her true attention to Epani. “I love how you are … Read more

Leaderless

Rethais was rather upset. Today was supposed to be a day off, a day of rest, after the feasting of Macromera. A day to sleep off the food and alcohol and spend time with the family. Considering he had been working non-stop over the winter break, Rethais had been desperate for some time off with … Read more

He hadn’t really been paying attention, all he’d heard was a couple of muttered words, his mind occupied elsewhere. The Thantir Two had stopped at the tiniest of tiny interstellar pit stops, … Read more

Final Feast Touches

Orthon clapped his hands with glee as his soldiers finished the last few decorative touches on the massive hall. Everything had been delicately decorated with a vast array of beautiful golden ornaments, freshly re-planted fir trees, meters upon meters of sparkly lights and more tinsel than was probably necessary. It was all probably a bit … Read more

Ditching Guardians

Kinisis clapped her hands together with glee as she and her loyal guardians stepped out of her ship and onto the crystal landing pad. Standing to one side, waiting to greet them, was Kairos, the Whenvern and Dragon God of Time. “Oooh! You redecorated!” Kinisis beamed, giving Kairos a quick hug. “Completely renovated, actually…” Kairos … Read more
