Bumps in the Datascape

“Wow, Larunda’s busy today!” Volt exclaimed as he and Frost watched fellow Tenno go by. “I thought the Void Trader was at the Kronia relay?” “He is!” Frost tutted. “Everyone is coming here because they want to speak to Simaris and it’s slightly less busy here compared to Kronia.” “I know…” Volt shrugged. “I just … Read more

Dreams of a Dragon God

The bump on the roof was obviously Kairos. No one else ever bothered to land on the roof of Arkadin’s house. Everyone else used the front door like normal, sensible beings. Climbing out of bed, Arkadin grabbed one of his blankets and headed outside. Just as he suspected, the Dragon God of Time was standing … Read more

Brothers at the Ice Creamery

Wednesday afternoons were always quiet, especially in the Ksithanai and Temthan sectors of Palaestra. As the temperatures begin to rise in April, the more reptilian races always enjoy taking afternoons off to sunbathe and warm themselves up. This little ice cream parlour on the very edge of the Ksithanai district was a very obvious exception. … Read more

Religious Wobbles

Away from the main palaces of the Temthan Empress was a single, luxurious tower that only the most esteemed Raptesses and Raptorans had access to. It was sealed off to almost all other Temthans aside from the Empress herself. A tower of archives and ancient scrolls. A tower of preservation, filled with treasures and guarded … Read more

Between Banikans and Vrekans

They could smell his fear, no matter how hard Ver tried to hide it. They wanted to meet the King of the Vrekans in person, so that was what Ver was doing. Of course he had brought some of his elite soldiers, the Myst, with him, but Ver was doing his best to keep things … Read more

Dinner with Death

Kohra sat quietly at the table, tapping his feet together. In front of him was a placemat, a knife and fork and a glass of water. At the other end of the table was an empty seat, its owner prancing around in the kitchen behind them. “Are you sure that you just want water to … Read more

The Strangest Fifthday

Agapia’s eyes snapped open. Everything was still dark. She had nothing on, not even her Emperor’s Robes. There was a sticky feeling all over her body. All around her was what felt like scales and slime. Something had happened last night. Something amazing. Sitting up, Agapia let her eyes adjust to the oddly dim light. … Read more

Friendship and Loyalty

“The Lord of the Dead, the God of Misery and Suffering, the Bringer of Death, and you live on an island world covered in pinkish grass and purple rivers?” King Ver had a lot of questions he wanted to ask his new favourite guest. The Lord of the Vrekans had always enjoyed making guests and … Read more

Hushed Conversations

“General Elkay…” Retvik stifled his yawn as he answered his communicator. “How are you, ser?” “Please, Retvik. Just call me Elkay. We are family, we should talk as such.” “Only if you insist.” “The line is secure. I can talk freely.” “Ah, I see. I assume you are calling me for an important reason as … Read more

Help from Strange Places

There was a hint of nervousness and worry in the air as the two leaders of the Reth-Vrekan Union paced up and down their throne room. The Great Keeper Veeksiar, in charge of both maintaining history and informing the King and High General of current events, had just given up some grave news. “Both the … Read more

Thick

Sirens blared as the three Tenno charged through the Corpus base. They were looking for their target, a teleporting Corpus Tech who had knowledge on a super weapon the Corpus were looking to build for the Grineer. The Corpus Tech in question was teleporting between rooms, but so far the Tenno had kept up. Suddenly, … Read more

Sky Beast Above

There had been chattering among Vahlan communications for weeks. Ever since THEY came. Every Vohra-controlled planet had one. Every Vohran nest had seen one. The massive, star laden sky beasts that hovered endlessly above Vohran worlds. Silent. Calm. Hardly moving. They looked similar to the Vohra’s own organically-built natural space ships, the space-whales they used … Read more

The Whenvern’s Control

“My Beloved Kronospasts!” The Whenvern’s voice boomed, echoing across the sky, transmitted to every screen and radio that would accept it. “I come to you today, in your time of need. You are weak. You are quiet. You are broken. You have been living enclosed lives, sealed off from the rest of the universe. You … Read more

Phovos’s Arrangements

The Temple of Six stood proudly on the most northern point of Palaestra. It was the only holy location in the city and was regularly used not just by the Raptors who had built it, but by other races too, all of whom had little alcoves set aside for them to worship their own gods. … Read more

Bickers of Space and Time

“He’s plotting something, I can feel it!” Kairos roared as he swooped around the large, crystal tower, before perching on top of it. “Do you not feel it, Epani?” The Panelix glanced upwards at the little Whenvern. “Go away.” “Epani, I am not joking around. I need you to listen to me.” “GO AWAY!” Epani … Read more
