Games, Walks and Talks

Being large, heavy creatures, Rethan cities were built to be very wide and not very tall. After all, when the average height of a Rethavok is 2.5m, it gets expensive building skyscrapers that can contain said large beings. The roads in Rethan cities though were even wider, designed mostly for foot traffic, public transport and … Read more

Super Weird Duty

“Hello, dearies, how are you all?” Retvik was not at all amused. The Allbirther had just ruined his favourite sofa with her colossal, serpentine body. Thankfully, Sini was not all slimy, but she normally left some sort of strange, floral smell wherever she went. “I would be happier if you knocked on the door, like … Read more

Witnesses Accepted

“So, let me get this straight, because I don’t quite get this…” Tenuk was tired. He’d just finished his shift and was about to go and get something to eat, but he was currently being held hostage by Teekay, who should have been going to bed now. The Thantir currently worked on five hour shifts, … Read more

Forced Time Off Work

The General of the 1000th Legion grunted to themselves as they entered the Kentron, the centre of the Rethan government. Gath Tsoriou was an utterly colossal Rethan, standing at 3.2m tall and covered in cream and brown plating, with nearly black skin. They were a soldier-caste Rethan, not normally someone who was even capable of … Read more

Veeyel’s Lullaby

Glitter, glitter, burning shimmer. Distant hums, distant suns. Not quite infinity, but more than one. Short red burns, long blue burns. They all burn bright. Never forever. On and on but not forever. Not like love. Not like family. They burn brighter. No matter where I am. No matter where you are. One day, the … Read more

Accepting Losses

“It is strange, no longer being a selfish asshole.” Retvik glanced at Litvir, surprised by his sudden words. The two Thantir leaders had been sitting quietly on the small pier on their own for a while. The overall mood was rather sour, since, a few hours prior, a young Voidborn had come to the Thantir, … Read more

Early Ceremonial Planning

“Hey, angel!” Teekay beamed as he brought in several bottles of drink, several sheets of paper and a tape measure. He had just finished his secretarial shift at the Purification Centre, which was what the Thantir were currently calling the work areas of their new base. The base itself was now called Savepoint, a name … Read more

Kenic Freedom

“Theoglossa is the language of the Gods, derived from an ancient, strange, hellenistic other universe, far beyond our knowledge. It is currently untranslatable by mortals within the universe of the Four.” – Efay Anglosson, A-Class Skyavok Archivist Arkadin had been hard at work, tidying up the universe. While everything was still working correctly, he’d picked … Read more

Half-Brothers, Whole Words

Retvik grunted to himself as he rubbed his head and nursed his drink. He was still reeling from what was in all honesty a very stupid fight. A fight in which he had been knocked out, ripped one of his nice golden fabric stomach wraps and had snapped his favourite sword in two. While also … Read more

Back to Work

Arkadin snarled as consciousness returned to him. He wasn’t where he remembered. In fact, he was on the wrong planet entirely. He wasn’t on a planet at all. “Easy, little brother” a voice cooed from somewhere within the room. After a few awkward moments, a door ahead of Arkadin slid open, and the Goddess of … Read more

Birthday Surprise

“Happy birthday!” Nyssi really didn’t like how Kayel and Tenuk were standing over her. Especially since Nyssi had returned to her little home in the Torn Islet for the weekend and, somehow, Kayel and Tenuk were in her house. “What the fuck are you both doing here and how the fuck did you get in?” … Read more

Battle of Half-Brothers

“So, a few rules before you both tear into each other…” For reasons unknown, Gah had been chosen to be the referee for this weird random battle between two vaguely angry half-brothers. Retvik and Elkay were arguing over the title of “the Conqueror of the Rethianoi”, something to do with the weird bloodline that had … Read more

Swimming Together

“Is something wrong, Kuta?” Retvik and Kuta had been happily making their way through the fancy Temthan resort. It turned out that the resort Kuta and their Legion had been left at was the Twisted Palms, the same resort Retvik had been to the last time he was on Kolasi, and he actually knew the … Read more

Old Bloodline Rivalries

It was rare that all three Rethan members of the Thantir sat together at the same time. Although Retvik and Litvir were technically in some sort of relationship, they tended to work separate hours and mostly did separate jobs. Retvik mostly focused on Corruption destruction with his fire powers, while Litvir specialized in the removal … Read more
