Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Kairos took shelter behind a smashed pillar, wrapping his wings around his bruised body. A weak time-shield was stopping the majority of flaming death balls from hitting him, but he couldn’t hold it for long. That burst of blinding light would wear off at some point and the monster would most likely attack him. Peering … Read more
“Has to be both…” The Lord of Death inspected the two objects in front of him. One was a bag of finely ground white crystals, the other was a golden bronze mush. “White and brown sugar?” Kohra asked. “Yep. White and brown.” “Why?” Arkadin looked at the bags again. “Why not?” “I was always told … Read more
“Your plan isn’t working, Kairos!” Yisini yelled as she slithered into the oversized temple. The floor was made of gold tiles, and it amused Yisini how she was ruining them with her slimy scales. To the left and right, in between pillars with sapphires embedded in them, were various statues of dragons in powerful poses. … Read more
“Sit.” Psiksi immediately did as he was told, trying to ignore the bland, empty surroundings. Nothing but grey walls, a grey table, two grey chairs, some grey sheets of paper and a grey door. “You’re angry.” “I am, Psiksi.” “Because of the Dessaron or the fact I was late returning home?” Arksi paced up and … Read more
The last few hours, Elkay had noticed that the Lord of Death was lingering just outside his vision. He had been following Elkay and his close friend Ver all afternoon as they dealt with meetings and talked about several planet-wide military exercises over the next couple of weeks. The Thantophor had said nothing, simply tutting … Read more
The dark hall was pretty much empty, aside from the round table and six stools. The walls were covered in tiny diamonds, twinkling in the fading light. “Sit, all of you!” Kinisis demanded as her four children and her partner filed in. Kenon sat next to Kinisis. Kairos and Epani to their left, Yisini and … Read more
Arkadin rarely visited the domain of his sister Yisini. They were opposites, she was life, he was death, so he never felt welcome. It wasn’t that they didn’t get along, they did, the issue was that he didn’t want to accidentally hurt the wonderful flora and fauna scattered around the shimmering tower Yisini called home. … Read more
Phovos blinked with confusion as the room around her melted away, replaced with a single, rocky platform in the middle of a dense, jungle landscape. On the platform was a table, two chairs and a feast large enough to feed a whole village. “Welcome, Phovos Tromou, welcome to my little dining area!” A massive, serpentine … Read more
“So, Iehova, that little village was the last one. They’re all dead and we have all their souls. Fifty fifty.” A smart suit hid the horrible, charred skin of Lucifer as he ran his fingers along the top of a glowing orange jar. He sat on a throne covered in spikes and skulls, determined to … Read more
“Thank you for stopping by here before heading back home to Portalia…” the High General whispered as he ushered Retvik into a private room. Outside, a small celebration had been set up for the returning Dessaron, cheering for both the newest members of the Reth-Vrekan Union and their newly gained resources. The addition of two … Read more
The Dessaron’s ship landed delicately on the platform, despite the dangerous storms and streaks of lightning cutting through the sky. “Uh, why are we here?” Psiksi asked as Tenuk shut everything down and started putting on an environmental suit. “Tenuk?” Retvik was also concerned. “This is an unscheduled stop. What are we doing?” Tenuk didn’t … Read more
It was rare for the leader of the Kronospasts to get some time to himself. His guards were both out of sight and out of earshot, and no one needed or wanted to talk to him. The top of this building was one of the few places he could be alone. Lord Avra needed this … Read more
“So, we have food sorted, we have supplies sorted, we have clean water sorted and we’ve got defence sorted. Is there anything else you lot need?” Tenuk was beaming with pride as he slapped the side of the old Vahyra throne, much to the amusement of the Vahla surrounding him. No one had sat in … Read more
The wind was howling, the grass was shaking and the trees were blowing around, but the skies were perfectly clear, filled with endless sparkling stars. The stars were the only thing lighting the path towards Death’s little cottage home. “It’s not normally this dark…” Kohra muttered, shifting a heavy bag across his shoulders. “This is … Read more
Arkadin tutted as he entered the Grand Dining Hall of Time. Everything inside Kairos’s massive palace was named the same way, everything relating to time and dragons. Already present were Kairos and his sisters Epani and Yisini, each sitting at one side of a gold-plated table, golden plates in front of them filled with food. … Read more
