Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“SON? KAYEN? IS THAT YOU?” Kayef-En’s voice sounded scratchy and stressed down the line. Kayen sat wearily at the desk, staring off into space. “Hi dad…” “Where are you? Where have you been?” Kayen rubbed his eyes. It was a long, complicated story. “Somevok took me. Skyavok, white skin, crystal blue armour. I’m in the … Read more
Kayen was absolutely terrified. In the last five hours, he had been teleported across the universe, met the terrifying being known as the Raptor, met a horrific Temthan who was capable of the same telepathy Kayen was, realised they werd working with the Dragon God of time and had been told that they had been … Read more
“Hey Ziten…” Kayen grumbled as he sat down at the booth. He and Ziten always sat in this little corner, where they could watch the rest of the goings on in the bar. It had been a while since they last spoke though. “Hey mate!” Ziten was perky as always. She’d already ordered drinks. A … Read more
The note had told Phovos to wait in this back room, near the rear entrance of the local police station. She’d been getting a lot of notes lately, to the point that she’d decided to do some rather strange things. All the notes warned her of impending doom, of pain and death and destruction. Clearly … Read more
“I wish you wouldn’t do that.” Arkadin had planned on going to the shops down the road to get some drinks for himself and his mortal friend Kohra. He’d stepped out of the front door though and been instantly transported into a dark, shadowy realm. This particular realm was familiar though, it was the home … Read more
“That is an abnormally large tribute, Raptor…” Phovos ignored the unfriendly Ksithan peering over her shoulder. Gindis was always a pain in the ass, and he was always around whenever Phovos came to the Great Temple for worship. He may have just been a steward and advisor here at the Temple, but he thought he … Read more
They’d had to evacuate twenty square kilometres of land, effectively shutting down three villages around the power plant. No one was allowed in without hazmat equipment. No one was allowed out without being surgically scrubbed down and decontaminated. Not many beings were coming out though. Past the heavy, lead-filled barriers, there was little alive. Anything … Read more
The two Skyavok perched on the edge of the little cliff, watching the water crash along the river below them. One Skyavok was pale skinned with yellow armour, the other also in yellow armour but with far darker skin, almost pitch black. “Thanks for meeting with me, Psiksi…” Arkay whispered. They were alone, but the … Read more
“NO!” Yisini screeched as she twisted and skidded around, clawing at anyone who came near her. “I refuse!” Kenon tutted, then grabbed Yisini by the scruff of her neck and sat her down at the table with the other gods. “Refuse what, child?” Kinisis smiled lovingly. Yisini was always her favourite daughter, but her anger … Read more
“I don’t want to!” Kayen was never someone to get angry and have tantrums like this, but today was different. He’d been doing his normal job of collecting taxes when some pisshole had decided to attack him. For doing his job. The same job he did day in and day out, every single day. “You … Read more
“You’re late!” Kohra smiled as the front door burst open then was gently closed behind his room mate. “Good day?” Arkadin grunted. “Eh. Not really.” “Aw, why?” It took Arkadin a moment to realise what Kohra was doing. He was cooking dinner. More specifically he was peeling vegetables and throwing them into a pot of … Read more
Epani hissed and grumbled, only to hiss and grumble more as Arkadin entered her lab. They both knew things must have been serious, because Epani was in her ‘busy doing fiddly, finesse work’ form and because she’d summoned Arkadin in the first place. Normally the Panelix, the Creator of Space, had nothing to do with … Read more
It had been a rather quiet yet pleasant evening. While Kohra had been busy at work, Arkadin had tidied up the apartment, set up a new gaming area and had cooked a dinner of veal stew and candy dumplings with lemon sorbet. At 9pm though, there was a knock on the door. An unexpected knock. … Read more
Arkadin hadn’t expected such a warm hello from someone who should have hated him. Thassallin cheerfully waved, before wrapping a pair of wings around him in an ugly but adorable hug. “You seem happy.” “You seem not happy!” Thassallin smiled through sharp teeth. “You seem somewhat miserable!” The old Time Lord dragged Arkadin into his … Read more
“Really, Retvik?” Gath growled as his partner climbed out of bed. “Come on! Whoever that is can wait!” Retvik ignored Gath’s pleas and picked up his communicator, holding the headphone to his ear rather than clipping it on. “It’s Rethais.” “Fuck Rethais! Actually, don’t, fu-” Retvik left the room, much to Gath’s displeasure. He loved … Read more
