Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Phovos “That is an abnormally large tribute, Raptor…” Phovos ignored the unfriendly Ksithan peering over her shoulder. Gindis was always a pain in the ass, and he was always around whenever Phovos came to the Great Temple for worship. He may have just been a steward and advisor here at the Temple, but he thought he … Read more
They’d had to evacuate twenty square kilometres of land, effectively shutting down three villages around the power plant. No one was allowed in without hazmat equipment. No one was allowed out without being surgically scrubbed down and decontaminated. Not many beings were coming out though. Past the heavy, lead-filled barriers, there was little alive. Anything … Read more
The two Skyavok perched on the edge of the little cliff, watching the water crash along the river below them. One Skyavok was pale skinned with yellow armour, the other also in yellow armour but with far darker skin, almost pitch black. “Thanks for meeting with me, Psiksi…” Arkay whispered. They were alone, but the … Read more
“NO!” Yisini screeched as she twisted and skidded around, clawing at anyone who came near her. “I refuse!” Kenon tutted, then grabbed Yisini by the scruff of her neck and sat her down at the table with the other gods. “Refuse what, child?” Kinisis smiled lovingly. Yisini was always her favourite daughter, but her anger … Read more
“I don’t want to!” Kayen was never someone to get angry and have tantrums like this, but today was different. He’d been doing his normal job of collecting taxes when some pisshole had decided to attack him. For doing his job. The same job he did day in and day out, every single day. “You … Read more
“You’re late!” Kohra smiled as the front door burst open then was gently closed behind his room mate. “Good day?” Arkadin grunted. “Eh. Not really.” “Aw, why?” It took Arkadin a moment to realise what Kohra was doing. He was cooking dinner. More specifically he was peeling vegetables and throwing them into a pot of … Read more
Epani hissed and grumbled, only to hiss and grumble more as Arkadin entered her lab. They both knew things must have been serious, because Epani was in her ‘busy doing fiddly, finesse work’ form and because she’d summoned Arkadin in the first place. Normally the Panelix, the Creator of Space, had nothing to do with … Read more
It had been a rather quiet yet pleasant evening. While Kohra had been busy at work, Arkadin had tidied up the apartment, set up a new gaming area and had cooked a dinner of veal stew and candy dumplings with lemon sorbet. At 9pm though, there was a knock on the door. An unexpected knock. … Read more
Arkadin hadn’t expected such a warm hello from someone who should have hated him. Thassallin cheerfully waved, before wrapping a pair of wings around him in an ugly but adorable hug. “You seem happy.” “You seem not happy!” Thassallin smiled through sharp teeth. “You seem somewhat miserable!” The old Time Lord dragged Arkadin into his … Read more
“Really, Retvik?” Gath growled as his partner climbed out of bed. “Come on! Whoever that is can wait!” Retvik ignored Gath’s pleas and picked up his communicator, holding the headphone to his ear rather than clipping it on. “It’s Rethais.” “Fuck Rethais! Actually, don’t, fu-” Retvik left the room, much to Gath’s displeasure. He loved … Read more
“You must be desperate if you’ve come to talk to me over ice cream…” Tahna is laughing at me in his head. He tends to go by the name Tenuk now, ever since he… rebelled against our father. He’s the oldest of me and my siblings, he was the one who was supposed to inherit … Read more
Hey, Kohra here. Things are still weird. I still have Death Itself as a room mate. I suppose there are far worse room mates around though. The last time I had a room mate, he stole pretty much all the candy from my secret stash. Alright, that room mate was my brother Levik and the … Read more
“You… bought me shopping and cleaned up the apartment?” Kohra gently closed the door behind him, but left it unlocked. In the kitchen, the being known as the Thantophor, the God of Death, was awkwardly grilling slices of bacon. “If I am to live here, I need to contribute.” The Thantophor turned off the stove … Read more
Hey. Me again. I can’t sleep. How can I sleep? Death Itself has been standing by the window, staring outside, almost motionless for about three hours now. I know the Thantophor is in the other room and he’s not directly bothering me or anything but… it’s Death. Standing there. I still can’t get over the … Read more
Hey. Hey diary. I know I said I wouldn’t do this shit again after dad found that diary of all my weird dreams, but… this all has to be a dream. It’s all so fucked up. I’m gonna start from the beginning. I’m Kohra. Kohra Tou Avran. I’m a Kronospast, a pretty wealthy and formerly … Read more
