Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Kairos opened his eyes, feeling weirdly refreshed. Had he been asleep? Had he just woken up? He wasn’t normally a being who needed to sleep. These confused thoughts were swiftly replaced by thoughts of panic. Something was wrong. He couldn’t breathe. But he could breathe. So he started breathing. But Kairos was a God. The … Read more
Kenon was sat in his favourite armchair, reading a book while a small fireplace burned away to itself. He had heard his two sons enter, but was choosing to ignore them. He wanted to listen to them, to see whether they would argue or not, but to his surprise, both his sons were reasonably quiet. … Read more
The universe twinkled away to itself, happily continuing its existence, unaware that a corruption had sought to destroy it only hours ago. Luckily, the Gods of Time and Death had dealt with the problem swiftly, and now they were unwinding, watching the universe twist and spin. “Thanks for helping again, brother…” Kairos smiled as he … Read more
Psiksi was tired, pissed off and hung over from the night before. He vaguely remembered having a chat with his mum, but apart from that, it was all a blur. He’d left Kass in bed, since he didn’t have work, and decided to get his own stuff sorted out. All the drinking and shenanigans from … Read more
Kayel slammed down the communicator, then sheepishly picked it up again. He had just got off the phone with Tenuk Diplastron Theanon, the eldest member of the Dessaron, the renowned traveller who had visited each of the Gods in turn. Kayel had hoped that the Deiton would tell him how to meet up with the … Read more
Kairos had just been flying by when he spotted Yisini and Epani, both sitting on a little, lifeless rock, sighing at each other. In the distance, he could see the source of their vague anger, the remains of a planet being engulfed in flames and dust, having been hit by a passing meteor. “You two … Read more
“You called for me, All-Ksa?” Teekay asked as he entered the tent. For reasons Teekay could not explain, the All-Ksa, the leader of the Skyavok, was insisting on spending his time inside a tent on ground zero of a catastrophe, rather than letting the K-Class look after him. “Of course I did, Teekay…” Kayel sighed. … Read more
“We must send assistance immediately!” the High General shouted as he stormed into the main hall. Already present were King Ver of the Vrekans, Lokmahro, Dovak of the Tsithic Thraki, and Phovos, the leader of the Ksithans of Portalia. “Do they want our help?” Ver asked. General Elkay glared at the Vrekan King. “Of course … Read more
Kayel could hear screaming. He could smell smoke. He could feel pain. He… could only see blackness. Blackness wasn’t too uncommon a thing to see. Kayel, like most Skyavok, lived in a place known only as the Void, a dark, gloomy space between spaces, otherwise inaccessible to other races. Their homes were built on a … Read more
“HELP! Volt shouted as he sped through the greenery up to the little enclave where he and his Tenno friends normally hanged out. “HELP, THERE ARE EXCALIBURS EVERYWHERE!” Ember though ignored him. She was busy staring out into the depths of space. In the distance, Pluto could be seen, as well as the solar rail … Read more
The letter had warned him not to, but he didn’t trust that letter. Especially a letter designed to cause panic? No, Kohra was having none of that. He was already unfriendly with the Whenvern, the Dragon God of Time who had abandoned him and left him to die. Kohra didn’t mind being a vague annoyance … Read more
“Ser? We have concluded our investigation. These items are harmless.” The Skyavok Astynomeer, a member of the local police force, handed two envelopes back to Kohra, sealed inside plastic wallets. “Are you sure?” “Yes. There are messages inside. We have scanned them but not opened them, for your privacy.” About three hours ago, Kohra had … Read more
Kohra hadn’t expected to see any lights on. He expected to come back to this little house and it all be empty. But the lights were on and someone was home. Being polite, Kohra walked up to the front door and delicately knocked on it. “One moment.” Some form of movement was heard. A set … Read more
“I want to do something different…” Bakxs was a very tall, very scary-looking Ksithan. He’d lived in Palaestra for most of his life, going through an interspecies educational system and looking for a way to express his artistic ideas and possibly even make some money doing so. A world full of creation, stuck inside his … Read more
“Do you think the other ones we rescued will survive, ser?” Eterek was a newly ranked captain. He normally served in the 289th Legion, but due to an urgent crisis, him and many other Rethan soldiers were serving among the ranks of the 270th Legion, helping them evacuate several small planets. “I mean, the first … Read more
