Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“High General Rethais! Ser, I need to speak to you urgently, in private!” Kaldoran had always been a very quiet yet loyal Rethan, never someone who spoke out of line. A Rethan so dedicated to medicine and science that he would spend days and days locked away inside his office, his own soldiers having to … Read more
“You overslept. Again.” Everywhere was cold and horrible, except Arkadin’s bed, which was nice and warm and covered in soft blankets and pillows. Unfortunately, Arkadin was expected to get out of bed and step into the cold world that was both Kairos’s crystal palace and reality in general. “I want five more minutes.” “Tough. Get … Read more
Gath had been sighing and tutting all day, and Retvik wasn’t really sure why. The last week or so had been an absolute blur for Retvik as he was recovering from various injuries, mostly his broken arm, but also a multitude of hospital check-ups and other rather annoying medical tasks. Gath on the other hand … Read more
“I thought Lokmahro sent you home for the day?” Phovos snapped, growling at the polite knocking on the door. She could see who it was through the frosted glass window at the top. “May I come in?” the being on the other side was, clearly a familiar face. Phovos hesitated, then sighed, quickly relenting. She … Read more
“Hey, space mum!” Volt rolled his neural sensors as he received another message from an Excalibur he had recently taken under his wing. Unlike the first Excalibur, who seemed to know what he was doing and just lacked the firepower, this Excalibur was filled with questions. Questions and annoying nicknames for Volt. “Please don’t call … Read more
Senk Ini’Tar could only watch as the land around her burned, towers of flame ripping through her armies, tearing her world asunder. Mere hours ago, she had been marching through the streets of this freshly captured city, having proudly taken it over in the name of the Serpentine Lord. The heretics living here didn’t understand … Read more
“You’re home early!” Teekay had been cutting vegetables and slices of bacon when the door slipped open, revealing a rather weary Elkay, who skulked in, slamming the door shut behind him and throwing himself on the nearest pile of cushions. “I am…” Elkay grunted. Teekay stopped what he was doing, bounced over to the fridge … Read more
Kairos perched on the windowsill, having flown in from across the universe carrying a bag of ingredients. Despite the fact that he was a large dragon with a 200m wingspan, he seemed absolutely tiny sitting there in the window. For reasons unknown, the owner of the massive house Kairos had flown into had grown even … Read more
The crowd scattered as haunting words echoed across the courtyard, one that sent chills down the vertebrae of everyone around. “BANIKAN! ROGUE BANIKAN!” The courtyard had mostly been filled with tourists, visiting Temthans who had come to visit the Holy Temple of Kayar and had decided to go sightseeing across the city of Palaestra as … Read more
“Hey, Kinisis, are you busy right now?” Arkadin asked as he peered over the windowsill and into the large, pristine, light pink and lilac kitchen. The Allmaker shrugged. She had just been kneading bread and was now washing the flour off her hands in the sink. Somehow, the only flour around was on the freshly … Read more
Elkay rubbed his eyes as he wearily entered his little apartment, overlooking the city of Palaestra. In the distance were mostly just fields and Ksithan farmhouses, but to the east was the edge of the warehouse district, which provided not just storage but also temporary housing as well. Because, for some reason, everything in Palaestra … Read more
Elkay had reached the location marked by the coordinates given and wasn’t too surprised by what he saw. He was in a very calm, secluded clearing in the middle of a forest filled with mostly leaf-less trees, and the only building nearby was a small shack, which, surprisingly, did actually have proper plumbing in it, … Read more
Considering how small this corridor was, it was well protected, with two rows of guards at either end and a couple more guards pacing up and down. Aside from plain walls, the corridor contained two things – a row of chairs, two of which were filled by nervous Rethans, and a doorway, a doorway which … Read more
Kairos slammed down a pile of books and papers on the counter, sending sheets of paper flying everywhere. He then proceeded to smash his wing-hands into the granite worktop, leaving large, draconic dents in it. This series of actions scared the life out of Arkadin, who had been sitting quite calmly on the sofa, a … Read more
“How are you feeling today, Trismit?” Trismit took a deep breath before answering the therapist’s question. Emdee was a small being, chosen for this job due to the fact that he was tiny and non-threatening, even to the most terrified of Rethans. Yet Trismit still felt somewhat nervous in his presence. Not because of Emdee … Read more
