“Why do you always invite me here?” Tenuk asked as he pulled up a chair and sat down. Across the table sat what could only be described as the solid shadow of a Thanatian-like being. Complete with glowing white eyes. “I enjoy your company,” the creature smiled, showing rows upon rows of shiny, needle-like teeth, … Read more
“Brother?” The second he heard that voice, Retvik leaped up from his chair, arms and legs straight. Close to a standard Rethan salute. “General.” “No need for rank, Retvik. Sit down.” Retvik did as he was told, as his brother closed the door behind him and sat by his side. “What do you want, Rethais? … Read more

The Deitic’s skull exploded wonderfully between the Veth’s claws, shimmering gas disappearing into the thin atmosphere and sparkling fluids dripping down each long, terrifying talon. This Deitic had been lucky to have a swift execution. Arkay dutifully cleaned the ancient fluids off his claws. It had been a good hunt, but as always, too short. … Read more
“What do you mean, they escaped?” Tanui was furious. Ever since he had given up his Anexartan form to become a full-time Lanex, so many things had gone wrong.

Working enough to provide for family and loved ones. Pondering whether this conflict will ever end. Being fearful for the health of my partner… You could do … Read more
Note: This is set on the 4th of February 2016 “Deep breath, ser.” “I know, Teekay, I know…” Elkay sucked in air through his nostrils, before slowly expelling it through his mouth. He hated press conferences with other-racial media. They were ravenous monsters. Gnashing and clawing at every little word one said. At least the … Read more

He stomped everywhere he went, due to his Ethran-type status, but there was a particularly serious tone to his stomping today. Vel and Kass both got up and followed Gath into the strategy room of their … Read more
