Tale: Comeuppance

Elisia watched with caution as the Rethan medic tended to her. Every little thing he did, she scrutinized it, waiting for the medic to do something to intentionally harm her, so she could claim that he’d broken the Temthan-Rethan peace treaty she’d been forced to sign, and have him executed. But no, the medic was … Read more

Tale: The Temthan – Rethan Confrontation

The majority of the ships decided to hover over the nearby ocean, but this one silently landed outside the large, marble and glass building. While the ships may have been silent, the sound of a thousand heavy pairs of feet stomping out of time towards the stairs certainly wasn’t. Outside the building, the home of … Read more

Tale: Father-Son Spat

“What do you want, Tahnahos?” Lord Avra growled as he monitored the stupidly large number of consoles around him. On each screen was either an image of a fleet of Temthan ships, a number of Vohran anti-space vessels or the preparations of the Rethan Stratos. Behind him stood a being who, despite looking nothing like … Read more

Tale: Preparation

“… Every non-combatant needs to get to the safe-zones at the edge of each Thre or off planet. But I want as few non-combatants as possible. There are twenty billion of these bastards and the Vice General needs as many of us as possible defending Thre-Etas and Thre-Vretania!” “General, ser, how are we going to … Read more

Tale: Feelings of a Dead Heart

“You’re so beautiful…” Lenik sat up in bed and glanced to his right, where the Xentress was sleeping. He realised he’d uncovered her, so he delicately pulled the blanket over her exposed arms. They’d been sharing a bed now for a few days, ever since the Empress put Arkai under his protection, but something had … Read more

Tale: Back to Work

Flanked by his dedicated team of Ksa, Vice General Elkay touched down outside the freshly rebuilt chambers of the Council, the main governing body of Rethan society. He was immediately met by Thitavee-En, the head of security for both the Council and the High General of the Retha. “Good morning, General Elkay. I assume you … Read more

Tale: Timn’s Getaway

“XENTRESS!” Timn skidded to a halt just outside Arkai’s private quarters. “XENTRESS! GET UP!” Arkai wearily got out of bed to see what the hell was going on. “What is it? Oh. Timn. I wanted to see you actually. Wanted to ask why I have been so sleepy over the last few days, and when … Read more

Tale: Letter to Gath

Dearest, beloved Gath, You haven’t spoken to me since the fire. I am worried sick about you. I have tried calling you and messaging you and all sorts. When I requested to be wheeled to your side in my bed, I was refused. You clearly don’t want to speak to me. I don’t know why. … Read more

Tale: Deep Space Diary Entry 7

Dear Diary, Dear Elksia, This is one of those rare moments where I am actually alive and awake. Not some sort of mindless zombie. I find it ironic how I keep on telling them a Threavok. The Threavok were all turned into sex slaves before they were killed off too. Just wanted to share that … Read more

Tale: The Immortal Playground

“I’m glad you came here to meet me, little Kronospast!” Death span round in her particularly evil chair. She was wearing nothing but a shadowy mass of tentacles that just about covered her private parts. “Last time, the first time you saw me was just after that nasty thing with Stasis. Have you found your … Read more

Tale: Lost in the Future

The portal was only open for a moment, but it was long enough for something to pass through. A small bundle of fabric with a tiny, squirming creature wrapped up nice and warm. After a few minutes of silence, a second portal opened up, and the injured body of a Lanex crawled through. This portal … Read more

Tale: Burning

There was smoke in the air. Kass slammed his foot on the accelerator. The smoke was thick and heavy, and it only seemed to be getting thicker the further north he went. Ahead was his destination, exactly where the smoke was. The hovercraft skidded to the right, narrowly avoiding the flaming trees blocking half the road. Only … Read more
