Rubble and debris covered this entire sector, making it impossible for larger ships to pass through. The remains of the first Deathven were immense, yet after so long, drifting endlessly in a timeless space, there was still so much that was unsalvaged, untouched and unexplored. While the main living areas had been stripped eons ago, … Read more
Retvik grunted as he picked at his breakfast and flicked through an array of magazines. They were all from last week, free ones having been picked up alongside the shopping. And they were all mostly trash. Gossip articles, rumours and silly theories mixed in with actual goings on and listings of local events or televisual … Read more
“Can I come in?” The sudden knock on the door had made Arkadin jump out of his skin, scaring him far more than he wanted to admit. No one ever knocked on the door to his bedroom, the one place in the universe where the Thantophor kept to himself. Before Arkadin could answer though, the … Read more
“Please don’t scream. You don’t have much time left.” The explosion had trapped hundreds of miners and killed hundreds more, causing tunnels to collapse and power to go out, plunging everyone into darkness. Desar was one of those many miners, stuck inside a small cave, clinging desperately onto a fading lamp as muddy water trickled … Read more
When it comes to our otherwise rather basic forms of magic, there are many different metaphysical elemental properties, often shortened to just elements, you can play around with, assuming you can imbue them on magical items. These elements are based off of a myriad of natural effects and forces of nature, but are intertwined in … Read more
Kayel tutted as he put on his fancy ceremonial All-Ksa robes. He didn’t want to wear them today. He wanted to go as himself, he wanted to be himself, he didn’t want to have to be all big and lustrous in front of this new species. But that was what his advisors were telling him … Read more
“How do you deal with him?” Gath stopped gazing off into the sunless distance and glanced down at the little Skyavon standing by his feet. Teekay was by no means a small Skyan, in fact he was taller than most, but to Gath, everyone was small and cute. For he was gigantic. “How do I … Read more
A quiet knock on the door distracted Arkay from his thoughts. He had meant to be packing his very small bag of belongings away, but had been sidetracked by work and other nonsense. With only a little hesitation, Arkay headed to the door and opened it. Standing there in the doorway was Kayel, the All-Ksa … Read more
The familiar sound of large, flapping limbs highlighted the appearance of the Panelix as she flapped around Kairos’s crystal home. She continued to float around until Kairos appeared, tutting and sighing. “Hi, Epani, what do you want?” Epani grinned, her massive mouth filled with teeth. She swooped down towards Kairos, dropping a parcel at his … Read more
“Who is more powerful, do you think?” Tenuk yawned as he unlocked the front door. For some reason, his siblings had followed him home and he wasn’t sure why. “What? And why did you follow me?” “You said we could stay with you!” Kohra beamed. “While Retvik and his partner were out! You said you … Read more
Yisini eyed the pink, elegant water suspiciously. She wanted to bathe in the springs and waterfalls around her jungle kingdom, to stretch out and relax in the warm, running waters, but something in the back of her brain was bothering her. The last time she was here, Yisini had ended up getting kidnapped by a … Read more
“So, time is fixed, everyone is normal again and the universe didn’t end!” Kohra smiled as he poured himself a cup of coffee. “You two want any?” Levik held out his cup as the three Kronospasts lounged around the daintily lit garden, enjoying themselves and relaxing. “Cheers, mate!” Levik smiled. “I am actually pretty glad … Read more
Arkadin grunted as the Whenvern slumped down next to him. He had been sitting all alone on a little floating rock on the far side of the universe. He had wanted to be out here, all on his own. But as always, one of his siblings had ignored his wishes. “What do you want, Kairos?” … Read more
Gold and silver explosions erupted from the wreckage as the cosmic dragon deity incinerated the remains, breathing flames that reached millions of kelvin.
