Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Arkadin breathed a sigh of relief as both life and consciousness returned to Kayen. A few seconds later and he might not have made it. “W-where am I? W-what h-happened?” Kayen shivered. The Thantophor wrapped his arms around Kayen, trying to warm him up. All around them, everything was dark, except for six glass tubes. … Read more
Kayen slammed the door shut with his foot while he carried his groceries inside. He dumped the bags on the table then threw himself into his single comfy beanbag chair. Kayen was angry and tired and didn’t want to do anything right now. Of course that meant that the doorbell had to ring. With several … Read more
“You all pick the weirdest places to have our godly meet ups…” Arkadin sighed as he brought out the ‘special’ glasses that he only used for special occasions. The glasses would automatically fill up with a being’s drink of choice when held, and would refill as needed. It was good for occasions like this, because … Read more
The elevator doors opened up, revealing a cold, frozen landscape. Rocky mountains surrounded fields of ice and snow, while rivers of viscous, blue liquids that definitely were not water poured into a large lake, dripping from various ancient Orokin structures and cooling the air around them. “It’s cold!” Rhino blurted, ruining the magnificent silence of … Read more
“Time sure seems to fly, doesn’t it?” Timik pulled up a stool and sat in one of the empty spaces at the table. Phovos and Kayen sat on the other side of the table while Kohra was in the kitchen, fetching drinks and snacks. “I guess…” Kayen sighed. “I assume you three have all been … Read more
Kairos shuddered as he leaned against the street lamp. He wasn’t quite sure why he shuddered. The wind was somewhat strong and blowy, blowing his wing membrane around and messing with the feathers on his neck and tail. The sun though was rather warm, and whenever the wind would die down, the sun’s rays would … Read more
I think… It’s working! You’re working! Yes! Alright. I have to be quick. I don’t know how long you’ll last. I’ve not… Well even if you just record, that’s fine. Step forward! Little steps! Lots of them! Okay, calm down. You’re working. I’m excited. I have a lot to say. … So, my name is… … Read more
Arkadin growled menacingly as he ripped the blanket off his body and threw it in the face of an intruder. He quickly calmed down though when he realised who it was. “What the fuck are you doing in here?” Kairos pulled the blanket away, pausing to feel how soft and snuggly it was. “Uh…” “How … Read more
The Raptor and the Dragon stepped out of the dark cinema together, both of them blinking in the artificial light. It had been daytime when they entered the cinema, but on this windy winter evening, the sun had long since set. “So what did you think?” Kairos asked, keeping his arms by his side but … Read more
“You should have come to me sooner…” General Kaldoran tutted as he pulled his face mask down. “That wound is rather deep. A few more millimetres and it could have punctured an organ or two.” “I would have but I was rather busy reassuring the Rethavok that their leaders were safe and that a potential … Read more
Sirens blared as Rethan soldiers clashed with the nameless entities throughout the Parliamentary Tower. Strange, black creatures had swiftly broken in via a portal on the building’s roof, attacking from above, armed with a myriad of blades. Already, both sides had plenty of casualties. While the shadowy beings had caught the Rethan Elite off guard, … Read more
“Have you got a moment? We need to talk.” That was an odd message. Normally, whenever Tim messaged Phovos, he’d say hello first, then ask how Phovos was doing, always sympathising with her. It was always the same. The only time he’d deviated from that same introduction was whenever something exciting was going on. “Sure, … Read more
Kairos had been knocking on the door and tapping on the windows for several hours now. Ever since the Thantophor had abruptly run off, leaving him with unanswered questions. A quick check with Kenon told him that Arkadin had gone back home, locking himself in his house. “Please, Arkadin, tell me what’s wrong?” There was … Read more
“You’re doing it again…” This was the second time in nearly as many days that Arkadin had caught Kairos hovering behind him, waiting impatiently to ask him questions. Today, Arkadin was just dealing with the remains of a volcanic eruption that had perfectly buried a city full of primitive sapient beings so he had time … Read more
Volt couldn’t remember how he got there. He wasn’t actually sure where ‘there’ was. Either way, it was a very tight space, with only just enough room for him to stand up straight. What bothered Volt more though were all the needles sticking out of his metallic Warframe flesh. Every few seconds, a tingling sensation … Read more
