Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Epani, what are you doing here?” The colossal, whale-like Panelix hovered in front of the small, silver ship. Inside were the four members of the Dessaron, a team of elite warriors that normally served the Decay Lord Galyn, but had been working for Kinisis for a while now. “I have been looking for inspiration!” Epani … Read more
“I will be honest, I did not think you would show up.” Arkadin perched on the small asteroid, analysing the being before him. The Panelix was a colossal creature, towering above both Arkadin and the asteroid, but she wasn’t how Arkadin remembered her. She was now very feminine, with whale-like features, large, finned claws and … Read more
Arkadin paced around his living room, pausing occasionally to re-read the message on his screen. He had been doing this for about an hour now, trapped inside a miniature loop of indecision. The cause of this indecision was quite simple. He had received a letter from his sister, and in it was, well, a tale … Read more
Dearest sibling, Normally, I would not contact you. There is a strict reason why. You have your own existence, free from ours. You are your own individual now. But that individuality is the reason why I need you now. I have broken my own rules in order to discreetly contact you, and I beg for … Read more
Arkadin stood by the window, watching the traffic beneath him. Various vehicles had come to a standstill, slowly inching forward in one lane, while moving somewhat normally in the other lane. The reason for the traffic was pretty simple. There was a school down the road, and all the kids were just finishing up for … Read more
RK0019K: Hiya TimeDude: OMG HI! What are you doing on here? RK0019K: I kinda just wanted to see how you’re all doing. Are you alright? TimeDude: Oh yeah things have been great around here. What are you up to? Having fun living on your own? RK0019K: Yeah it’s been… alright, I guess. A bit quiet. … Read more
Arkay wandered around his apartment, checking things off in his kind. His costume was done. He had packed food and water. His props were good to go. The light in one of his fake weapons was working fine. The snacks were just waiting for the cold stuff to come out of the fridge. Everything was … Read more
Arkay grunted as his alarm went off, buzzing and making horrible noises. It was 7am local time, and Arkay really didn’t want to get up. Somehow, he had fallen asleep on the sofa watching a topical news quiz from a couple of years ago. It was quite funny, and the host was always someone amusing … Read more
“I am still unsure.” “Unsure about this fire contest thingy?” “Yes.” Phovos stretched out on the bed, her little, clawed feet dangling off it. She had just been chilling in her private quarters until Retvik had arrived, and he had brought cake. “Why?” “It seems a bit beyond me.” “How so?” Retvik was just sitting … Read more
“Have you got fire in your belly? Flames in your soul? Heat in your head? Then maybe you might be the next Fireheart King! Once again, the Overflame is calling for fire deities to step forward and enter the Contest of Flames, to prove their power and resolve, and perhaps claim the title of Fireheart … Read more
Arkay almost jumped as his communicator rang. He wasn’t expecting any calls or anything, so he picked it up quite slowly, glancing at the number displayed. It was one he didn’t really recognize. Then again, Arkay always had trouble recognizing long numbers. “Hello? Arkay speaking!” “Oh, hi Arkay, it’s me, Phovos.” “Phovos?” Arkay exclaimed, feeling … Read more
Arkay collapsed on his bed, panting heavily. The ceiling above him was blank and white, with a single strip of a light that was currently turned off. The company that had helped him move his larger furniture had been and gone, and now he was on his own. He’d been alone for a bit, moving … Read more
Teekay yawned as he woke up, then immediately gasped as he saw what time it was. 11am! He was supposed to have gotten up at 9am! Somehow, without noticing, Teekay had overslept by two hours. But that was only part of the problem. Teekay had initially planned to only have a quick nap at about … Read more
Arkay wiped the sweat from his face, then sat down on the single chair he had just carried into his new apartment. It was a small place and half his furniture hadn’t arrived yet, but it was still Arkay’s new home. He was finally going to have his own place, a place all to himself. … Read more
“So, we’ve signed the contract, you’ve paid the first month of rent, here are your keys.” Arkay blinked several times as the tall, bald, dragon-like being held out a pair of keys. He gently took the keys, then glanced over to the door. “Electricity and internet need to be put in your name. We will … Read more
