Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
It took eight minutes for us to realise our sun was gone. Eight minutes and we were suddenly looking at a night sky, full of stars. The birds stopped singing. Insects stopped chirping. I could hear the mutterings of confusion, slowly descending into panic. Day had turned to night. After ten minutes, it started to … Read more
“He’s normally back by now…” Kohra muttered under his breath as he watched Psiksi wander around the living room. “Is he?” Kohra didn’t think Psiksi had heard him, but clearly he did. “Yes. Rarely more than a couple of hours. But we have been here for a while now. Everything just feels… uneasy…” “Oh yeah, … Read more
The Cafe of the Gods was a pretty literal place. Gold covered or trimmed almost everything, while the floors glistened in ivory white and precious gems dotted almost all the objects in the cafe. The large, cushioned sofas and armchairs were covered in silk cushions and stuffed with the softest feathers. No expense had been … Read more
“Does he often do this?” “Who?” “Arkadin.” “With the disappearing to do things? Yep.” Psiksi had never been so close to a normal Kronospast in person before. Kohra had never really gotten that close to a Skyavok before. But somehow, they got along really well. “Last time, he did come back though. Something about the … Read more
“Hey, Volt! It’s been a while!” Frost waved as he left the hangar and entered the Larunda Concourse. “Sorry I’ve not been around. Been busy… sleeping… and stuff…” Volt waved back, but Frost could tell he was a bit distracted. He was standing by a Ducat Kiosk, clearly going through his inventory. “It’s not a … Read more
“… Yeah, I don’t know when I’ll be back. Hopefully soon. But I doubt it. You know how universal deities are… I will… Don’t worry… Love you too… Bye…” Psiksi closed his communicator and stared at the doorway in front of him. In his hand was a silver tea strainer, stolen from Tenuk and used … Read more
“So, what can we get you?” Psiksi leaned on the table next to the Lord of Death, smiling eerily. Tenuk sat opposite them, keeping an eye on them both, praying that the young Skyavok did nothing to piss off a being who controlled the fate of the universe. “A lot of things.” “Like what? Respect? … Read more
“Thank you for coming with me, Psiksi…” Tenuk huffed and heaved as he and the little Skyavok climbed the stairs. “You really think I was going to let you go to Death’s home on your own? In the state you’re in?” Psiksi asked. “Really? Also why are we using this door up here with your … Read more
“There are lumps in my stomach and they are not going away…” Retvik moaned as he stumbled across the living room and threw himself into the first comfy thing he could see. More moans could be heard from upstairs, where his partner Gath was desperately trying to sleep. Elksia sat on a stool in the … Read more
How many times have you been in near-death situations? Hopefully none. Hopefully you’ve never seen your life flash before your eyes. But there’s always been that case where you’ve stepped off the curb and nearly been clipped by a speeding vehicle, or you slip while going down the stairs and manage to catch yourself. Little … Read more
“Not everything you do has to be related to work!” Rethais had said. “Sometimes you need to go to these events for fun.” Well, Elkay was not having fun. There were lots of Rethan Generals here and they all wanted to talk about either work or their hobbies and Elkay was interested in neither of … Read more
“GO AWAY!” Arkadin shouted, but nothing replied, his voice echoing across the vally. He didn’t expect an answer anyway. “Just fucking shut up already…” Still no reply. But Arkadin didn’t want one. He just wanted the murmurs in his mind to leave him alone. There had always been whispers in the back of Arkadin’s head. … Read more
The Cold Critter Cafe was a small Vrekan bar run by an otherwise retired, elderly Vrekan called Calliark. Calliark had been an adventurer and spy in his youth, having taken hundreds of different forms and personas. When he retired, he needed something to keep himself busy. Most of his customers were like him. People lost … Read more
The door creaked open, echoing through the otherwise silent house. The lights were all off except for one on the clock in the kitchen space. Psiksi tutted as he entered. He’d been meaning to grease the door hinges ages ago, but he’d never gotten around to it. His recent adventures with the Dessaron had dragged … Read more
Yisini patted the head of the closest Temthan. It had been yet another night of orgies and sleeping, and Yisini was still deeply enjoying all of this worship. “Yes, my Goddess?” The Temthan looked up at her, drool dripping from her mouth. “Did you want something?” It took a moment for Yisini to remember the … Read more
