Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Elkay sat at his desk, reading over some paperwork. Ver was wandering around, knowing he also had things he needed to read and sign, but he couldn’t be asked. The guards outside had given them some privacy, so it was just the two of them in the grand office. After taking a sip of his … Read more
Teekay sighed as the doors in front of him opened. To each side of him, lining the marble walls, were members of the Myst and the Fear, the elite warriors of the Vrekans and Rethavok. At the end of the room were two thrones, the Lord-King of the Vrekans in one, the High General of … Read more
“You don’t normally invite me here…” Arkadin hovered above the vast vegetation, floating on a pair of black, skeletal wings. He watched as the tail of Yisini curled around the trees, and followed it towards the Allbirther’s true location. She always curled herself around her lands, hiding among the beautiful flora of her hidden paradise. … Read more
“Was there a moment where you were, like, scared?” Psiksi asked as he sat in bed, twiddling his thumbs. Sitting at the nearby desk was Arkadin, who had recently made himself look more like a Skyavok to vaguely blend in. Why he was here, sitting in Psiksi’s room, Psiksi had no idea. He just sort … Read more
Questions hovered in the minds of every mortal sitting around the wooden dining table, but none of them knew how or when to turn these thoughts into words. At the far end of the table, the Lord of Death was silently picking at a plate of pancakes and sausages, clearly not eating them. “Are… are … Read more
“WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, KAIROS?” Arkadin bellowed as he charged into the grand hall. He was late to the meeting Kinisis, the Mother of Gods and Goddess of All, had arranged, but he didn’t care. “WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG? YOU PISSED OFF EPANI, YOU PISSED ME OFF AND YOU PISSED OFF … Read more
Iron Wake was always empty late in the evening, which was why it was a perfect place for four Tenno to have a sneaky little get together. Frost brought the tent, Volt brought the blankets and snacks, Ember made a fire and Saryn had managed to buy some bottles of drink from a villager on … Read more
Psiksi woke up, not with shock but with confusion. Everything felt like a blur. Heck, it all felt like a dream. Had he dreamed the last few days, all the way to the point that everything had gone white and he’d woken up? No, clearly not, because he had not been sleeping in his bedroom, … Read more
“So what’s your obsession with ice cream?” Psiksi asked as he watched Tenuk finish a fifth bowl of cocoa ice cream and tussi fussi fruit sorbet. In the time it had taken Psiksi to finish his two scoops, Tenuk had eaten five bowls filled with four scoops each. They’d had a productive day, having dealt … Read more
“Why are the Banikans asking for our help again?” Psiksi asked as the ship landed on a small plateau, outside a tiny cave. “You seen the size of them?” Elksia laughed. “They can’t fit in this cave they need us to go in and grab both this stolen idol of theirs and the being who … Read more
The ship hovered gracefully above the trees. Tenuk didn’t want to land the ship, since he was worried that a stray Banikan might mistake it for food or a threat. He’d heard stories before of that happening, he wasn’t going to take any chances. “So, the plan is simple!” a voice exclaimed from behind him. … Read more
Kenon’s home was massive, designed for the colossal being that he was. Kilometres of black marble drifted through an unending black void, lit up only by slithers of gold and small, white candles that burned endlessly to themselves. Few beings had ever made it to this dark sanctuary at the edge of the universe. Fewer … Read more
Kohra shifted his weight and sneaked forward, hiding behind rocks and trees as he made his way up to Arkadin’s home. For some reason, the teleporting key Kohra had used hadn’t actually teleported him to the house on the hill, but a good 100m away. Luckily, Kohra had shapeshifted into a taller being and this … Read more
“So,” Psiksi glanced left and right, tugging on his armour nervously. “I want to accept your invitation and join the Dessaron, but I… I have a question…” “Sure, what’s your question, kid?” Tenuk smiled. “Feel free to ask whatever you want.” “Well…” Psiksi’s nervousness increased with every passing second. “Uh… Um…” “Take your time.” Psiksi … Read more
The grand chamber was filled with gold and silver. Rivers of red wine ran down the sides, while rich and powerful Temthans lounged around on cushions, sipping from crystal chalices, scoffing their faces with platters of meat or sleeping off their exhaustion from an evening of drinking, eating and sex. In the middle of this … Read more
