“Arkay?” “I know.” “You see it too.” “Yeah.” “I’m sorry. I’m trying.” “I know. I’m not angry at you.” “It’s my fault.” “It’s not your fault, Sini. You’ve done nothing wrong.” “I’ve done plenty wrong.” “This isn’t your fault though. Just… just do your best.” Arkay and Sini trod carefully as they made their way … Read more

As Kairos continued to hold his time shields, he was somewhat impressed with how everyone else was working together. His three fellow deities had followed his orders exactly, and, in the few places where Corruption had gotten in, it seemed like the mortals were slowly beating it back. In fact, across the whole universe, mortal … Read more

Rethais had initially believed that the Rethan homeworld was somewhat safe, and far enough away from the northern edge of the universe to not be affected, but that belief had been instantly destroyed by a single black droplet that had landed outside the Kentron, the central governmental hub of the Rethavok. The drop had initially … Read more

“It’s still breaking in!” “I know, Sini, I know! I can’t fucking be in twenty places at once!” Arkay had been racing back and forth across the northern hemisphere of the universe, sealing up massive cracks and holes that the Corruption outside was making, as it tried to enter the universe.

Aesop shrank in his seat, as the rest of the Torrian Parliament got up and started filing out. Panos, the Prime Minister, gave Aesop a disgruntled and annoyed glare, then headed out himself.

He had thankfully predicted that the vast Corruption would attack at this specific point, but that didn’t make the ordeal any better. Worse, he had underestimated the sheer size of this Corruption. It was… huge. So huge … Read more

Atuho, the Imperator of the Vast Sands, wasn’t normally considered a particularly menacing Lanex. If anything, most people thought Atuho was a little too friendly. Which was why he dealt with external affairs, and problems with other races. Most Lanex didn’t quite mesh socially with the rest of the Twelve, and a lot of folks … Read more

“Advisor Phovoula, thank you for coming on such short notice!” Skiavor, a black-furred Ksithan with equally dark eyes, smiled as the Raptor climbed up the stairs to the Grand Hall of the Twelve. The Ksithans weren’t quite as democratic as other species. They were ruled over by the Tromeros family, a large, powerful heritage with … Read more

  “We need to call home.” Aster rarely argued with his superiors. In fact, he was normally one of the calmer and more law-abiding Crown Guides of the Perpetual Abyss. The Lanexian outcasts, who fervently worshipped the Panelix above all else, were well organized and well armed, and they kept to themselves, hoping to one … Read more

“What the fuck, Arkay?” Epani stood up from her red and gold throne as Arkay teleported into the main hall at the castle at the centre of the universe and sat down on his own throne, a massive black bean bag. “What?” “You… You…” Epani grunted, then turned to Sini. “Can I swear at him, … Read more
