Tale: Attack on the Royal Vrekan Palace

King Ver of the Vreka was supposed to be benevolent. Kind. Caring. Not somevok who sullied his blades with the blood of lesser beings. But this was war. Feral Vreka against Sane Vreka. The Winds had blown a wicked evil across his lands, corrupting the minds of Vreka and allavok alike. “My Lord, we cannot … Read more

Tale: Crashed Ship

“Vo! I require assistance! Ship is down, hostile vok are approaching! Come in! Vo! Vo!” That was the third time Elkay had called for help in the last ten minutes. There had been zero response from anyone. “Help! I require assistance! My transport is down and I am surrounded! Is anyone there?” He rephrased his … Read more

Tale: Attack at Home

I never slept well, so I was incredibly pissed off to find a Rethan being thrown through my living room where I had fallen asleep. This isn’t the first time I had monsters fighting around my house, but last time they had the courtesy to just mess up my garden and bleed all over my … Read more

Tale: Movie Night

The only source of light in the room, apart from the ICU machines, was that of a small television screen. On it was a nonsensical movie in which Thropes ran around like scared kids in a forest getting themselves killed. It was stupid, but it was amusing. Veeyel had picked the film, since he was … Read more

Tale: The Shroud of Kinigi

The shores of Kinigi are far more beautiful than I could ever imagine. A rose pink sky with scattered silver clouds above me, blue-green grass ahead of me and glowing water lapping at my side. I lie in the shallow water. The sand is soft, like sleeping on a silk blanket. I could stay here … Read more

Tale: Stasis in Waiting

I remember the moment when I gave in. It was when I was told what had happened to Veeyel, the one being I loved more than anything else in this stupid universe. I’d failed to teleport him out with the rest of us. They drove him insane, questioning him on where we were. He didn’t … Read more

Tale: Sentenced

“Six months?” Enkay seemed pretty shocked. “We do the right thing, we don’t hurt anyone, we help the Kalsa Warriors get their freedom and we helped save a nest of innocent Vohra, and we get six months in prison?” Everyone else though seemed quite relieved. They had all expected far worse. Ten years community service, … Read more

Tale: Solution

Elkay fucking hated crutches, but he had used them to walk from the hospital all the way to the temporary new council building. Flanked by four young Rethan soldiers, he stormed into the main chamber, where the other members of the council weren’t doing too well. “Thank the Light you are here, Elkay!” Rethais shouted, … Read more

Tale: Revivaling

Note: This tale takes place some time in the somewhat near future. The sun was shining and little poulia were whistling and singing outside. A warm but gentle breeze was blowing into the small private room. The room wasn’t as pleasant as outside, what with the constant beeping machinery and the hard hospital bed, but … Read more

Tale: Life Imprisonment

Veeyel was banging his head against a wall. It was all he could really do right now, since he was wrapped up in a straight jacket and not really capable of movement. Maybe if he bashed his head in enough, he’d forget everything that was going on. He knew exactly why he was there. It … Read more

Tale: New Guy

It had been a good day for Retvik. Everyone involved in today’s Dessaron Battle Arena matches had gone home happy, including all the losing teams. The only bad thing that happened today was that Gath had things to do, some negotiations with the team’s sponsor, so he wouldn’t be around until later. Right now, though, … Read more

Tale: Argument from Bed

Elkay was sick of being in bed. He wanted to be outside, doing anything but lying in bed. Anything. He’d prefer cleaning out a sewer to being in that stupid, hard, uncomfortable bed. Not just any sewer. A Cassid sewer. The worst of the worst. Really though, it wasn’t the bed that was annoying him. … Read more
