Tale: Battle of Stasis

Tears are dripping on me. Galazin is weeping. To my side lies the severed arm of his little brother Kitrin. Where the rest of Kitrin is, we do not know. Galazin’s whimpering isn’t the only sound we can hear though. Outside, a battle is raging. Everyone must have seen what happened, or at least worked … Read more

Tale: Aborted

We’ve been hanging here for hours. Galazin is unwilling to do anything. He won’t touch me in any way. I don’t blame him. He’s kept his tail tucked away and out of my sight. “Maybe you are more mortal than I believed? Or perhaps more Deitic?” Stasis’s voice comes from everywhere and nowhere at the … Read more

Tale: Jungle Hospital

The local Thanatians seem uncertain of my presence. My very being here is scaring them, for reasons I do not understand. But my quest has been long in spite of my new powers. Thankfully, it is coming to an end. “Where is Psivee-En?” I ask as calmly as possible. My voice lingers in the air … Read more

Tale: Chained Above

Galazin and I are chained up in perhaps the most awkward way possible. I’m chained to the ground, with both my arms and my legs apart, and my neck held in place so I can only look directly at Galazin. The poor Tavran is in a much harsher position, his arms chained behind his back … Read more

Tale: Troubling

Stasis is observing everyone, but he is mostly watching me. When he pulled the four of us away, he wasn’t interested in Elksia or Arkay at all. Even Retvik and his unborn kid seemed to do nothing to pique his curiosity. He measured every part of me. Was sizing me up. Stasis has something in … Read more

Tale: Observations

I watch as my friends mingle with the other races, being all friendly despite the fact that none of them want to be here. The feeling is mutual, the other beings don’t seem to like it in this cold, desolate place either. The Tavrans seem to live similar to us Rethans, but the Thropes are … Read more

Tale: Human Appearance

“That’s the being who challenged us to come here, but what are they?” Steve Copakon, the leader of the Mech Slayers, a team of elite, mechanically and psionically enhanced humans dedicated to destroying both religious cults and the false gods they worship, was being overly cautious. The being that had asked them to come to … Read more

Tale: Appearances

There was no sky, only a black nothingness. No stars. No sun. No warmth. No wind. They were lucky there was breathable air. The rest of existence consisted of floating platforms covered in large golden pillars and overall very curvy but perfectly symmetrical architecture. Nothing at all seemed to move. “Well, this is gloomy and … Read more

Tales: Writing Prompts

These are all writing prompts based on this imgur gallery. Glasses I’m panicking. Where are they? Where did I put them? I’m rummaging through my hand bag and they’re not there! Did I leave them in the gym? I have to head back inside and see. I can’t drive home without them. Heck, I can’t … Read more

Tale: Admit

“Retvik is here. The Cassids just want to do some tests, then we’ll be sending you through, alright?” Thitavee-En was doing his best to sound pleasant, but he knew that more than half the occupants in this room were rather angry and none of them were too sure what was going on. “Thank you, Thita!” … Read more

Tale: Disrespect

“No.” “No?” Retvik remained seated in his chair, showing as much disrepect as he could muster towards the High General. He always disliked Photeianos, and now this old, spoiled brat of a Rethan was demanding that Retvik drop everything he was doing and go through a magic purple portal with a risk of him not … Read more

Tale: Beckoned

“Arkay, you need to come with me right now!” Elkay ordered as he stormed over to his personal ship. Arkay reluctantly did as he was told and left his post, leaving the ship in the hands of his fellow Ksa, Eksi. “Ser, what is going on? You all cut me and Eksi out of the … Read more

Tale: Challenger

It was always a mess for security whenever the leaders of the Maza races were invited to join in on Maza Circle meetings, but for a change, things had gone swimmingly. No complications, no messed up schedules, everything had gone as planned. A heat wave though meant that everyone was taking regular breaks. No one … Read more

Tale: Clear Up

“You rebuilding the city on your own?” Kass yawned as he watched Retvik moving rubble with his bare hands. “Like, completely?” Retvik stopped what he was doing and wiped the sweat from his face. He had managed to get a lot done in the last few hours. Most of the roads were clear now. The … Read more

Tale: Rebirth’s Aftermath

It is beautiful here. The sun set ages ago, but its rays still tickle the horizon, spreading light above the hills and trees, reflecting and refracting in the lake below me. I’m hovering above all of it. This isn’t Kinigi, but it is close. Can’t help but want to stay here. After all the horrors, … Read more
