The Alternative – Part 9

“YOU KILLED MY FAVOURITE DAUGHTER!” Kenon’s roars of anguish echoed across solar system as the Voidborn erected harsh, electrifying barriers around it, trapping the Thantophor inside. He knew the barriers would not hold the Lord of Death, but that didn’t matter. An hour was all Kenon needed to destroy the vermin that had taken the … Read more

The Alternative – Part 8

A guttural roar rippled through the remains of the planet’s atmosphere as ships scattered like insects, desperately trying to escape the explosions of carnage and destruction. Deities battled above them, using stars as fuel and meteors as ammo, clashing like the titans they were. “YOU MONSTER!” the Panelix howled as she clawed and tore at … Read more

The Alternative – Part 7

Psiksi and Kass embraced as chaos rumbled on around them. In the time it had taken for Kass to fly from Portalia to the small Kronospast territory of K15, over a thousand planets had ceased to exist. Including one of the major Skyavok hubworlds, the place Kass had been born. Yet here they both were, … Read more

The Alternative – Part 6

The screams echoed down the narrow corridors as Elkay sat bolt upright, his voice hollow and his mind even emptier. “GONE. ALL GONE.” Kayen and Phovos had both desperately tried to calm Elkay down, but he refused to settle. Tears ran from his dulled eyes as he held his head in his hands and repeated … Read more

The Alternative – Part 5

Plumes of lava soared across the planet, burning up what little oxygen remained. Hours ago, this planet had been home to billions of Kronospasts, living luxurious lives filled with pleasure and happiness. In the blink of a cosmic eye, it had all been vaporized by a moon-sized interplanetary impact. The planet’s own moon had crashed … Read more

The Alternative – Part 4

Kairos gasped for breath as he slowed down, bracing himself for impact on the remains of a large moon. He had been chasing Arkadin for hours as the Thantophor had torn his way through multiple solar systems. Everything he had thrown at the Death Lord so far had failed miserably, barely making Arkadin blink. Right … Read more

The Alternative – Part 3

Equipment beeped as Elkay had finally begun to stablize. The medical lab in the back of the ship wasn’t really meant for the surgery that Elkay had needed, but somehow they had managed to save the former High General from almost certain death. They had used every single bandage on the ship, almost every syringe … Read more

The Alternative – Part 2

“What have you done, Yisini?” Kairos pulled the roof off Yisini’s shelter and landed in front of the Allbirther, his breath shimmering with silver flames. “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?” Yisini ignored Kairos’s fury. She was busy writing things down. “YISINI!” Finally, Yisini looked up. “I know what I’ve done.” “Then tell me.” “I accidentally lobotomised … Read more

The Alternative – Part 1

“PLEASE! DON’T KILL ME!” Yisini screamed as the hideous claws of the Thantophor tightened around her neck, pinning her against the ground. She tried to coil her tail around Arkadin, desperately trying to wriggle out of the Death Lord’s grip, but Arkadin just continued to hold her down. “”Really, sister?” Arkadin snarled, black, needle-like teeth … Read more

Iccccceeeee Creeeeaaaaammmm

“I want ice cream.” The demand was simple. The execution was not. The Thantophor hadn’t seen real sunlight in two  weeks and was begging that someone take him to Palaestra to buy ice cream. And since he refused to shift from his Rethan-like form, that meant the Rethavok members of his collection of guards had … Read more

Drunkard Concerns

“How was the date?” Epani asked as she awkwardly landed on the roof of Kairos’s little bunker. “Uh, she’s… still here…” Kairos hissed. He had seen Epani coming but desperately didn’t want to wake the sleeping Ksithan lying in his bed. “We’re still on said date.” “Is this a bad time?” Kairos looked back at … Read more

Surprise Date

“Hi, I’m here to pick up Phovos.” The Rethan, the Banikan and the Temthan all looked unamused. A little black and red Skyan pointed towards the row of individual apartments, six upstairs, six downstairs. None of them seemed impressed that the Whenvern had landed in front of them. “She’s in the very top left one.” … Read more

Dating Ramble

The little click had made Retvik suspicious. He had been walking by a heavily barred window when it happened. Retvik had to investigate what it was, because the noise that followed sounded suspiciously like a window being slid open. “You are not trying to escape, are you?” Retvik asked as he spotted a yellow-plated snout … Read more

Deitic Dinner Plans

“THAT’S FUCKING RETARDED!” Psiksi’s voice echoed across the room, bouncing down the hallway. He quickly realised what he had said, in front of the Goddess of the Entire Universe of all things, but Psiksi didn’t change his tone. “You want to bring the other deities here for a fucking family meal? Are you insane?” Approximately … Read more

Another Knock on Death’s Door

Elkay expected more angry shouting as he knocked on the door, but nothing happened. As he was the only one that the Thantophor seemed to not hate with a seething passion, he had been designated as… well, basically the one who gets things done. Everyvok else just did normal guard duties, as well as the … Read more
