Tale – A Universe in One’s Veins

Arkay stood on the shores of Kinigi, a vast, glistening ocean lapping at his clawed feet. In the distance, there was nothing. A darkness, a one-way path directing the souls of the universe to the Kinigian beaches and the eternal River. Each time he blinked, millions would die. Their souls would wash upon the shores … Read more

Tale – Time for Rest

“Well, at least we came to a peaceful resolution…” the Veth Prime sighed as Syklos and Continuity helped him put on a familiar set of straps. “How long am I going to be subconsciously running the universe for this time?” Continuity looked up and shrugged. “I do not know, Arkay. But it should only be … Read more

Tale – Rage at Death

Everything in Kinigi was swirling around, as if a gigantic tornado was blowing through. The eye of the storm was above Death’s home, and that was where Continuity and Syklos had teleported themselves to. There was no way they could walk through the thick, forceful winds that were tearing everything apart. Syklos kicked the front … Read more

Tale – Melting for Her

“Is it just me, or does this place make no sense?” Iatre asked as the four Veth wearily walked through a valley. Its walls were the same squidgy pink material that coated everything else. The only difference was that this was a valley and not a hill or an open field or something like that. … Read more

Tale – Sketching Changes

Istoria had been watching Death move stuff around for several hours. She didn’t want to be sitting in that awkward, slightly painful chair, but she didn’t want to anger Death either. The last time she had asked if she could move, Death ‘accidentally’ dropped the heaviest thing she could find on Istoria’s feet. But slowly, … Read more

Tale – Hungry for Something

“You horny?” This was the second time Arkay had woken Iatre up. Last time he had a bit of an existential crisis. This time, he seemed to want sex. Which wasn’t too weird, after all, the last time they screwed, Iatre had enjoyed it, even if it had all been a setup so Death could … Read more

Tale – A Place for Sleep

Iatre stretched only to find that something was next to and on top of him. He panicked only for a moment, but luckily it was just Arkay, who had clearly fallen asleep and fallen off his little hammock. A hammock made out of the skin of some unlucky creature they’d found. Really, it was Iatre’s … Read more

Tale – Questions for Veth

Iatre had been full of questions, asking everything from “how big is Kinigi?” to “what’s the average girth of a Veth?” As they walked, Continuity had politely answered as many questions as he could, although there were a lot of things he couldn’t answer. Syklos had simply lead the way, remaining silent and just walking … Read more

Tale – Panic over Coffee

Elkay sipped his frappé, while Aesop, the Prime Minister of the Cassids, sat there, panicking and fretting over a lost piece of paper. “I was so certain I brought it with me! I swear! It was with everything else!” Aesop paused for a moment, having spotted something. But upon realising that it wasn’t the sheet … Read more

Tale – Veth 4 Dead

“What just happened?” Iatre asked as he pulled himself out of something pink and gooey, a cross between clay and chewing gum. “One minute we’re trying to stop Death from getting bad and the next we’re… here?” “Clearly something didn’t fucking work!” Arkay growled, peeling pink stuff off his skin, before realising that the whole … Read more

Tale – A Stupid Plan in Action

“Wow, you somehow managed to do it…” Istoria blinked as Iatre opened the bedroom door. On the bed was Death, snoring loudly and drooling all over the place, completely naked. She didn’t even have her normal pointless black tentacle wraps on. “Well, you asked me to!” Iatre smiled. “Was rather simple, actually. Took me a … Read more

Tale – A Worrying Suggestion

I’ve been busy lately. Been doing two things. The first part involves a lot of calming sex between me and Death. She wants me, so why not? She always asks me politely, which is more than I can say for other Veth. She just takes them. The other thing though, it’s been me working in … Read more

Tale – Confused Veth

“I think we need to reset…” Syklos said for the seventh time that evening. “We can’t do a reset now,” Continuity repeated for the eighth time. “We just can’t. Not now. Not after a corruption. We could accidentally get ourselves infected again. And there is no way we can get the permissions needed to do … Read more

Tale – Not Convinced

The scantily clad Temthans stood in the middle of the room, offering threats and war and goodness else knows what. They’d happened to invade on the one day that the leaders of each Maza race had come together alongside their representatives to discuss the future of the Maza. Well, invade was the wrong word. The … Read more

Tale – The Donda

Volt stared at the Donda, a small, metallic, spinning shape hovering above a diamond-shaped base, both plated in that familiar Orokin gold. Beyond the Donda was the view from the Orbiter’s window, the rings of Saturn drifting by, minding their own business. Everything was quiet. All that could be heard was the occasional beep of … Read more
