Tale – Battered Veth

“What the fuck happened to you, Arkay?” Continuity asked as he held an ice pack to his head. Arkay rolled his eyes as he limped into the room, trailing behind him a large roll of bandages that was soaking up an even longer trail of glowing blood. “Bitch decided that she wasn’t happy with me … Read more

Tea with Death 21

The two Veth growled as they threw Tenuk into Death’s home, picked him up, threw him on a sofa made of flesh, then stormed off. Tenuk was uncomfortable at first both from his ass having hit the cold stone floors and from the sofa he was sitting on, but since he was sat in a … Read more

Tale – Miniature Picnic

Kayel adjusted his hood as he walked down the hallway. In one hand was a visitors’ pass, in the other was a bag of treats. He’d spent a good hour at the nearest convenience store picking out what would be best, what was low in calories and in sugar. After all that, he ended up … Read more

Tale – Land Requests

“Another day, another pile of land purchase offers to reject…” Retvik muttered to himself as he sat down. He could have had an assistant do this. He could have had Gath do this. But deep down, a small part of him liked doing this. He got to say no to all these weird beings who … Read more

Tale – Still Friends

The room was brightly lit, with a white-paned window and painted walls, decorated with childish white and grey clouds. In the corner was a clean, neatly made bed with a freshly fluffed pillow. A desk, a lamp, a small computer sat in the opposite computer, next to a free-standing cupboard and several shelves. Next to … Read more

Tale – Days as Seconds

Sometimes, I wonder how I got here. A billion years of nothingness and here I stand. Observing. Watching. Guarding. That is my duty now. Protecting a fledgling universe from all the horrors that seek to consume it. Protecting a fledgling universe from mistakes that could destroy it from the inside out. You would think that … Read more

Tale – Three AM Call

Psiksi sighed as the phone rang. It was three in the morning, everyone was asleep and this infernal communicator had woken him up. What sort of idiot calls at three in the morning anyway? With another sigh, Psiksi rolled out of bed, onto the floor and across the room to where he’d left his communicator. … Read more

Tale – An Oddly Familiar Cell

Photeianos blinked. Once to wake himself up. Twice to clear his vision. Three times in disbelief. He was tied down. Leather straps kept him stuck to a large table. The sort of table a Rethan might be operated on. All around him was a familiar but not really familiar room, filled with equipment he vaguely … Read more

Tale – A Toothy Return

“Your brother is waiting for you in your office,” Captain Vallas smiled as the High General walked by. “My brother?” Elkay blinked. “Which one?” “Which one is the green one?” Elkay tutted. Psiksi was supposed to have been in Vriskera, Portalia, helping with the Thanatian problem there. What he was doing here was anybody’s guess. … Read more

Tale – The Last Official Ksa Leader Meeting

“Where’s Veekay?” Feyar growled as Teekay entered the room, dragging a wooden stool with him. The other Ksa all remained silent, wondering how the self-proclaimed ‘Electric Ninja’ would reply. “He’s at work. Signed up with the 200th Legion. He can’t make it,” Teekay replied bluntly. “Unlike most of us here, sitting on our asses, getting … Read more

Tale – Iatre’s Enjoyment

My life is great right now. Wait. Is it a life when I’m actually dead? I guess not. Whoever I was before I became a Veth is deader than a doorknob. I guess I should call it unlife or something? The other Veth seem to call it being undead, but I don’t know. Either way, … Read more

Tale – Veekay’s Blood Tests

Veekay was feeling nervous and he didn’t understand why. Things had been awfully quiet ever since he’d essentially lost his job as a Ksa, but the quietness had done nothing to calm down the conflicts in his mind. He had always had one duty – to protect the Vice General… well, he was the High … Read more

Tale – A Cause for Concern

Continuity hovered around the storage unit, watching as the Veth Prime tried on various bits of armour, none of which he seemed to like. He’d been trying to approach the angry Veth for a while, but after all that had happened recently, Continuity was feeling slightly scared of him. No, more FOR him. Death herself … Read more

A Quota Filled

“Ah, you’re back!” Death grinned as she rushed out and welcomed Arkay with open arms. “And you did exactly as I asked of you! Absolutely perfect!” Arkay sighed as he threw a small, glowing orb into the river. It was the soul of the last being he had killed. Death walked over, expecting a hug, … Read more

Diary on the Star Soarer 14

It’s gone. The monster is gone. I saw it go. It spoke to me. Said it was going. Is it really gone? Was it just lying to me? I… I… I gotta calm down. Deep breaths. Okay. So I was making my way down a hallway, about 100m away from the recreational areas. Walking through … Read more
