Tale – Kinisis’s Impossible Task

Kinisis felt miserable. Her Veth were being bitches, she was still sore from regrowing galaxies and everything was just about awful. The only thing she had to look forward to was an upcoming visit to the home of the Ostar. They were always fun. And loyal. And attractive. And up for sexy times. Only problem … Read more

Tale – Iatre’s Confrontation

I confronted Death today. Not intentionally. I was actually just trying to talk to Arkay and ask if he was alright. He was clearly following some sort of trail (probably a scent one), but he was obviously limping a bit, so I walked up to him and asked. Of course he backed away a bit, … Read more

Tale – The Hole in the Lake

I still have no real clue as to what is going on. Everything has been jumbled up. Nothing makes sense. Worse, Arkay has stopped talking to me. He wants to, but something or someone is stopping him from doing so. It’s not just him answering my questions, he won’t talk to me at all. Death … Read more

Tale – Iatre’s Confusion

I remember saying to myself that I wanted answers. Turns out the answers I got weren’t exactly the answers I wanted to hear. It took me a damn long time to prise those answers from the yellow guy’s mouth, but eventually he caved and started talking to me. Turns out, his name’s Arkay, and he’s … Read more

Tale – Insane Amounts of Paperwork

“The whole city?” “The whole city.” “From this tiny office?” Gath was not amused. He’d bashed his head on pretty much every single door frame as he’d made his way to the office of the ruler of Palaestra. He was supposed to have a new job but he didn’t even know what to call it. … Read more

Tale – A Proper Farewell

The fire crackled away to itself. Kass watched as little flames drifted away and burnt into nothing. He’d been sitting there for about ten minutes. He wasn’t sure why, but that note he got after work was rather… convincing. The handwriting was identical. The little symbol at the end was the same. It had to … Read more

Tale – Change in Power

Phovos looked up at the two Rethans as she spread pieces of paper all over the coffee table, being careful not to knock over their drinks. She paused for a moment, took a sip of her own drink, then went back to spreading things out. “What is all this?” Retvik asked as she watched the … Read more

Tale – Ice Cream Sunday

Kayel was exhausted. In the last few weeks, he had been all over the place, rushing around on both Rethan and Thanatian duties. He had done all sorts. Lots of healing. A little bit of diplomacy. A lot of fighting beings trying to invade private Thrakian spaces. Worst of all, he had helped heal a … Read more

A Shame

“Kinisis, are you well?” Stasis stood in the doorway as he watched Kinisis take swigs out of a large mug. She was sat at a small table. By her side was a bed, where a Veth was sleeping. “No. Go away.” Something landed behind Stasis. It was Kairos, just as concerned about Kinisis as Stasis … Read more

A Tooth

The pain was only just bearable, but Arkay had no choice but to put up with it. He had scrambled through Death’s libraries, then raced across the universe finding the things he needed. In his hand, his uninfected hand, was a mace made out of tooth, bone and blood. Body parts taken from beings that … Read more

A Plan

Arkay trawled through books and texts, anything he could get his hands on, looking for information. There were hundreds of books sprawled on the floor alongside Arkay right there, and he’d also emptied out four other rooms, only occasionally stopping just to keel over and growl in pain. Mostly from what felt like violent thrusts … Read more

A Pain

“OW!” Continuity rushed into the room in a panic. “Arkay, are you well? Is it becoming too much? Do we need to find a new Veth to replace you?” Arkay was sitting at a table, rubbing his hand. On the table was a large map of Kinigi, something Kinisis had made millennia ago, that updated … Read more

A Fear

“Hold me, Stasis.” Stasis blinked, unsure what to do. Above him was essentially the entirety of the universe that he had, well, grown up in. He was once a little slice of nothingness and entropy, and this universe had given him… not life, but meaning, at the very least. “Stasis.” Another blink. He couldn’t really … Read more

A Panic

“This is insane!” Arkay repeated constantly as the three older Veth circled him, attaching goodness knows what to his body. “How the fuck is this even happening?” Continuity looked up at the young Veth Prime as he tightened a belt around Arkay’s leg. “Kinisis has faith in you. I have faith in you.” “This isn’t … Read more
