Dark-Ended Time

Unwarranted Wrath

“Ugh. We’re doing this shit again…”

Valksia and Maresia glanced at Syksis, not wanting to agree with what Syksis had just said but doing so anyway.

“Feels like when I was a kid and my parents used to argue…” Aster muttered. “Would happen just as frequently as well.”

“Is that why you’re the...Read More »


Motherly Ultimatum

“What do you want?”

Kairos didn’t answer. He was working.

“What is your problem?”

Still no answer.

“Kairos, I am speaking to you.”

Kairos grunted, then glanced up. Standing over him was Epani, who had intruded his personal space. His last personal space. However Epani had a cohort today. The little formerly exiled Lanex who,...Read More »


Future Sibling Worries

“So you didn’t see anything?” Kohra asked as he puffed up his fur in a bid to protect himself from the cold.

Litvir shook their head, and shuddered slightly. Normally, they had no problem with the depths of space, but Litvir felt uneasy today. “Uh, no, not on… normal light. In...Read More »


Book Party Fun

“Phiva! I am so glad you could join me!”

Elkay was in a very bouncy mood as a dark red Ksithan wearing black trousers and a black hoodie and carrying a large, dusty satchel reached the main entrance of the Great Library near the centre of the universe. To the point...Read More »


Corruption Within

“Elkay! Elkay! Need to speak to you right now!”

Elkay should have been annoyed at one of his fellow Twelve Anew interrupting his private times, doubly so since he’d informed them all that he was taking most of the weekend off, but, firstly, he was used to it, and, secondly the...Read More »


Crashed Hope

“Are you feeling better now?” Litvir asked as Elkay exited a small, white villa.

“Yes, but I do not know how being stabbed in the stomach fixed whatever was wrong with me…” Elkay grunted, then stretched his arms and started walking, towards the edge of the Pink Paradise. Both his telepathy...Read More »


Elkayne Army

“I have so many questions…” Kayel muttered to himself as they reached their target. Normally universes were surrounded with a black, inky substance known as Vastskin, that kept the universe in and the void out. But this universe’s Vastskin was solid and diamond-coloured.

“Why have you not been asking them then?”...Read More »


Crystallised Rage

The blade cut deep. Deeper and deeper. Down into flesh and muscle. Deeper still. Into eyes and nostrils. Through softened, diseased bone. And still deeper. Into vital organs. Through a sickened mind.

The rage-fuelled stabs continued, seemingly without end. The owner of the blackened, holy blade had no real idea what...Read More »


Battered Siblings

“He… he’s gone…”

Sini felt hollow. There were words in her mind, in the back of her throat, but they weren’t coming out.

“He is gone, yes… Sini, sister, I missed you.”

“I missed you too, Epani… You… you kept the place nice while I was gone…”

“Well, I tried… I had some help...Read More »


Of Twinned Pasts

As Relkir’s eyes snapped open, the first thing they did was try to look around for their kid. They had seen the monstrous Thraki throw Litvir around like a ragdoll, and the sight of Relkir’s beloved daughter bleeding, clutching their arm and trying to get up and stand on a...Read More »


Weak Feeling of Betrayal

Dalosisaar may have been trying to keep his calm as he has ordered his fellow deities around, but now that the important work had been mostly done, now that he had gathered the Twelve Anew in one place, the cracks were showing. Every mention of his name caused a sigh,...Read More »


Parting Gifts

“So much for my book club…”

The Shadow was clearly annoyed. Anyone could tell just by looking, as shadowy tendrils were floating on his back. Elkay was normally a very calm person, so the fact that his elemental affinity was showing meant he was feeling defensive.

“Is that what you were doing...Read More »


New Time Deity

Sini sighed to herself as her body changed shape. She needed to be less of a Life Goddess, more of a Time God now, and her body was in the middle of making that reality. Silky scales became thicker and edgier, her well-trimmed nails became talons and a pair of...Read More »


Under New Management

“From the unease on everyone’s faces, I think I can kinda guess the news…”

Lissandra crossed her arms and sighed, but the rest of her fellow Divine Guardians seemed to be fine.

“So Sini is gone and you’re taking over?” Vexer asked.

Elkay-En nodded but paused. “Well… she’s not gone. She’s gone back...Read More »


Meeting Egg

Relkir felt oddly wobbly as Elkay pulled them and their kid through a shadow, and the three of them appeared underneath a familiar tree. In front of them was that adorable little orange-painted half-house, and waiting for them were three happy faces.

Elkay stepped back a little bit, allowing the colossal...Read More »


A Tale of Two Litties

Things had finally settled down, but Litvir’s feelings were all over the place. So Litvir did what they always did and went to the hatch at the top of the universe, in order to calm themselves down a little. Sure, they knew what that purple dot was now, but everything...Read More »


Undiplomatic Conclusion

“You fixed things up pretty quickly.”

Aesop yawned, then waved at Aster as he appeared at the entrance to what was planned to be Elkay’s private book club room, but was now just a room full of sofas and tables, all empty. Literally a few rooms over, a deity had died,...Read More »


Against Official Reports

“You have news, Tessar?”

Tessar was the General of Deitic Affairs, and they had been very busy over the last few days. But they had reached the end of their research and had requested a meeting between them, the Generals of the Legions of External and Hidden Affairs and the High...Read More »


Kaironic Acceptance

“So, uh, what’s going on?” Arkay felt more and more uneasy as he, Ret and Kuta climbed off the ship and approached Savepoint, where Litvir was waiting for them.

“A lot, unfortunately…”

Standing with Litvir were Elkay and, oddly, Kayel. Arkay was doing his best not to peer into the future or...Read More »


Brighter Times

“Hello, little one. I wish to speak to your Time Drake please.”

Litvir didn’t know what to make of the strange black and yellow Rethan-like being standing before them. But it was scary and Litvir didn’t like it, even if it had an aura about it that… that it had once...Read More »
