“I can tell you don’t get out much!” Enyan grinned as Itakay cautiously sat down at the tiny little table.

His mind was still on … Read more

Tale: Tea with not Death

Death would normally be here by now. She was occasionally late sometimes, as to be expected with such an important job, but normally she’d turn up eventually.

Tale: Holiday Phone Call

The communicator buzzed three, four, five times before Elkay finally picked up. “You know I have been on holiday for no more than twelve hours, yes?” the Vice General growled down the voice piece. “Twelve hours.

Tale: Latches

“Xentress! Xentress! Wake up!” Lenik rushed over to the small, cushion-filled chamber, narrowly avoiding a low-hanging pip he could have easily smashed his head on.

Tale: Team Chat

“So he’s not coming back?” “As far as I am aware, no.” Kass was struggling to explain the situation to his team mates around their team’s kitchen area.

Tale: Doctor Visit

Arkai twiddled her thumbs as she sat in the dark room, the only light being a rather pathetic light bulb hanging a great height above her. Between her and the lone door into the room was a basic table and a seat for someone else. The chairs were basic plastic stools, as unloved as everything … Read more

Tale: Dovgokul Temple

It has taken me too long to arrive here. I have been sidetracked by other events going on elsewhere. It seems as though my attempts to protect both myself, Psivee-En and my own kids has been for nothing. Arkay is gone. Where he has gone, no one knows. Of course I had to take a … Read more

A large, echoing room, with … Read more
