Arkay sighed as he stepped into the shower in his tiny apartment, on the edges of a backwater city. He turned on the taps, waiting for warm water to come through, before deciding not to bother. It wasn’t water anyway, it was a strong acid, a decontaminant. He needed to wash the burning, corrupting blood … Read more

“So, uh, time to send you four home…” Arkay turned to the four mortals, then sighed. The term ‘mortal’ felt wrong. These four, they had been born as mortals, but now, they were… something else. Unkillable. Immortal, perhaps. All because Arkay had… broken at the perfect time. Here they now were, standing in front of … Read more

For the first time since she had been resurrected, Kinisis looked somewhat uneasy. The appearance of her favourite daughter, Sini, the Lifebringer, had made a mess of her plans. The initial idea was to kill the Thantophor, capture and torture the Panelix and then take over the universe with Sini and Kairos under her control. … Read more

Blade clashed against blade, flickers of flame littered the battlefield, blood soaked the ground, yet still the hideous Goddess was still standing. Everything Arkay and Kairos had thrown at Kinisis, she had managed to simply soak up. Sure, she was injured, bleeding, but she wasn’t slowing down. Then again, Arkay hadn’t slowed down either. The … Read more

No one was sure whether things had been going well or not. The Thantophor’s instructions had been very clear, but they… hadn’t found any corruption. They had, however, found a lot of scratches and cuts. For some reason, as the four mortals walked across the skeletal terrain, the ground seemed to spike up around them, … Read more

“Oh thank-” Arkay paused, unsure how to finish his own sentence. Either way, as far as he was concerned, neither Sini nor Epani were present. The massive, crystalline palace was completely intact, however, there was a circle of burnt corpses surrounding the entrance. Arkay couldn’t recognize them though, their features had been sheered away, as … Read more

“The fastest ship in the sector…” Tenuk couldn’t help but admire the beauty of a ship standing in front of him. He had never really been hugely interested in space craft, but this elegant, sleek design, it was simply gorgeous. And painted black, having come straight from the Skyan military. Or K-Class, as they called … Read more

“So, you finally got your name changed…” Kayel sat up straight to see who was talking to him. “Teekay? What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be-” Teekay wagged a finger. Unlike most Skyavok, Teekay had rather pale skin and bright orange armour. But like Kayel, he was a former Phantasma. And Kayel’s former captain. … Read more

Amazingly, no one had died. Sure, a small ship had just crashed into Zero Zero, the large park in the middle of the Skyan capital of End One, but it was early in the morning so no one had really been around on the ground. The same couldn’t be said about the occupants of said … Read more

“Oh thank the gods, there is actually a ship here!” Tenuk, Kayel and Retvik all stared at Nyssi as they finally reached the top of the staircase. “What?” “I think we all know only one god is responsible for that ship being here…” Retvik tutted. “I never thought I’d be thanking the Thantophor!” Nyssi was … Read more

“Oh I don’t like that…” “No, I don’t like that shaking feeling either. We need to move. Faster.” Tenuk was trailing behind Kayel. Normally, if he planned on doing lots of running, he would shape-shift into something with longer legs. But thanks to the horrible gases in these horrible labs, Tenuk’s body just wasn’t properly … Read more

“You are very attractive and the primal part of my brain wants to have intercourse with you… I cannot believe i just said that out loud…” Arkay stared at the delirious Rethavok as he helped him off the ground, then sighed. “I appreciate the kind words, Retvik, but that’s not you talking, that’s the gas. … Read more

Tenuk opened his eyes, only to be assaulted by the colour pink. Not a nice, calming pink, the hard, grotesque pink of toxic flesh. The air stank of weird pheromones, and the first thing Tenuk could think of was that he was vaguely horny. However, that emotion was quickly replaced with a wave of terror … Read more

“Ey, Retvik! Welcome home!” It had been weird, having three strangers in his home, but Retvik had very quickly gotten used to the presence of Kayel, the Skyan he had essentially adopted. He still wasn’t so sure about Nyssi and Tenuk, but that was mostly because they were very different beings. Nyssi was erratic and … Read more
