Tale: Deep Space Diary Entry 5

Dear Diary, This is my final entry here for now. I’ve been sitting here in my room for about an hour trying to work out what the fuck to write. Still struggling. The special someone I met was Elisia Redspine. She is the current empress of the Temthans and rules over a good twenty billion … Read more

Tale: Deep Space Diary Entry 4

Dear Diary, I feel much better now. The Temthans have accepted me into their ranks. Now that I am no longer fighting them, my body is taking to the various medications I have been given. One of the… tests I faced was unusual. It hurt quite a lot, but it completely healed my body of … Read more

Tale: Deep Space Diary Entry 3

Dear Diary, Today has been horrible. The Raptesses locked me in a room with two of their members, their leader Neraida and a younger one called Troma. They administered some kind of drug that let them look into parts of my mind. I don’t know what they saw, or even if they saw anything, but … Read more

Tale: Cexit – Part 1

Prime Minister Aesop Korinna was having a very bad day. Glaucia was ranting again. “… And now we are expected to cover the costs of the other races for their stupid illnesses! When will it end?” There was an uneasy cheer among the many ministers and members of parliament. This was a weekly joint session … Read more

Tale: Deep Space Diary Entry 2

Dear Diary, I never used to write in my old diaries every day, but I kinda have to. There’s so much… going on? Not that I truly know of. Secret things. Lurking in the background. Schemes and plots. Never been a fan of schemes and plots. The Temthans are not fans of them either. The … Read more

Tale: Thoughts after the Challenge

I sigh as the ship sails away into the unknown. On it are the bodies of four Raptai, a plant-based race of beings that were killed by Stasis. They suffocated, starved to death from the carbon dioxide they so desperately needed to live. We intended to bury them at the Hall of Heroes, like any … Read more

Tale: Deep Space Diary Entry

Dear Diary, The Temthans have allowed me to have a diary, after I tried some… unsavoury things yesterday. Being so far away from home and being so abused made me pretty damn depressed. But after a lot of antidepressants, I’m feeling better now. The idea behind the diary, I assume, is that they want to … Read more

Tale: Tea with Death 10

Tenuk stood by the water’s edge, watching as souls drifted down the shallow, glittering river. The sky was slowly turning from a light pink to a deep, dark navy blue, but there were no stars in the sky. “Hiya, Tenypoo!” Death leaped out of a nearby bush riding on the back of one of her … Read more

Tale: Tea with Death 9 – the First Meeting

This was supposedly the afterlife. Heaven. The shores of Kinigi, to go by its proper name. It didn’t look like anything Tenuk expected. No fluffy clouds or little angelic thropes… humans with wings, nothing like that. He was standing in about 20cm of water, in a lake or ocean that stretched on forever to his … Read more

Tale: Starting Search

“I’m going to find him.” Retvik glared at Tenuk. The Ethran-type had been gone for five hours, and now he’d reappeared in an insane getup, spouting nonsense. “You’re going to do what?” “I will find Arkay and bring him back.” Tenuk stood in the doorway, wearing a really bad-ass set of armour and carrying a … Read more

Tale: Stasis Epilogue 2

For some reason, Arkay was still alive. He’d managed to free himself from the collapsing rubble, the remains of the golden islands and black floating platforms. It was all now just floating in an endless sea of space and stars. There was just enough air for Arkay to breathe. A thin, slightly sticky air, but … Read more

Tale: Stasis Epilogue 1

I watch as the Cassids all skitter around, gathering everyone up, applying medical aid where needed, overall just being little busy bodies. The Rethans around here are much calmer, but still rushing around and getting things done. There’s been nothing but bad news. Most of us are critically injured. Cuts, bruises, broken bones, stab wounds. … Read more

Tale: Closing Portal

I regain consciousness only to find that I am upside down. I panic slightly but quickly calm down when I realise that Galazin is carrying me. “Move!” Beings are shouting and screaming everywhere. I blink a couple of times and try and work out what is going on. Everything is shaking and falling. The ground … Read more
