Going Cold

Fearful Future Nightmares

“This is the third time in three days that you have had nightmares.”

Kuta stood in the kitchen, arms crossed and tutting, as they watched Arkay make an impromptu midnight snack of fried eggs and buttered bread.

“Yeah. Third night where I’ve had nightmares about you…”

“You said you get nightmares regularly though....Read More »


Draconic Flashes

Arkay hated this particular Chrono-Palace. The Whenvern had four Chrono-Palaces, four large homes, one in each corner of the universe, situated on the exact Y coordinate of zero, but this one, the Crystal Coliseum, was made entirely out of translucent diamond, meaning you could easily see through most of the...Read More »


Going Cold

“I assume your meeting with the Whenvern did not go well…”

Kuta did not need their telepathy to tell that Arkay was utterly broken inside. The Thantophor was currently in the form of a beautiful yellow-plated Rethavok, but black tears were running from his eyes, gnawing at the silver armour he...Read More »


A New Path

Kuta was utterly miserable. It had been a long time since they’d experienced a breakup, and Kuta was taking it badly. Things were made worse by the fact that they still loved each other. And things were made awkward by the fact that Kuta had been forced to report the...Read More »


A Lack of Contact

“Tenuk, we need to talk, right now.”

Tenuk rolled his eyes as he and Plasmablade, a fiery orange and silver Phantai Decay Lord, turned to face the flaming, clearly angry Rethan standing before them.

“Oh, hello Flamebearer!” Plasmablade beamed. “It is an honour! How can I and my new friend Mimicblade assist...Read More »


Curious Tea Strainer

Being a small, mechanical being that also somehow had emotions, Nuh regularly wished that he had a way of expressing them outside of the tone of his flat, mechanical voice, and the brightness of his large, lime green crystal eyes. Sure, Nuh would occasionally use his telepathy to express particularly...Read More »


Apology Pizza

“Today’s been weird…” Tenuk muttered as he sat down with a drink and a bowl of marshmallows. He was supposed to have been eating more healthily as part of a training routine to give himself more muscle mass, but Tenuk had been struggling, and it turned out that Spasts couldn’t...Read More »


Abrupt Arrest

The evening had turned out quite nice, but Kuta was still somewhat shocked at how they had been so blatantly ‘adopted’ into this small family of friends. Admittedly, Kuta hadn’t really said much. They had sat back and mostly just listened in, but they definitely felt like they fit in....Read More »


Fluffy Alternative

“Little brother!” Sini nearly screeched as she caught sight of the Thantophor. Arkay was currently in the middle of crushing up bits of Voidborn and chucking them out through a hole in the side of the universe. A hole the Voidborn had made. Normally, Arkay looked pretty well armoured and...Read More »


Battling Lights

The occupants of the two Lanexian ships gazed in wander as they watched a strange, tantalizing display of colour unfold before them. Neither ship was really supposed to be there, in the presence of the twisting and turning lights, but an interspace chase had led them to the strange sight.

The...Read More »


Lost Vahla Warrior

Talok leapt to her feet as consciousness returned to her. When she’d fallen unconscious, she’d been attacked. While Talok had powerful telepathic and telekinetic powers (as well as an array of other, more secret abilities), there was little she could have done when the room she was trapped in filled...Read More »


The Rage of Life Goddesses

Kairos could count on one foot the number of times he’d had to physically get between Epani and Sini to stop an argument, but today, that number had increased by one and now he needed both feet. Normally, the two Life Goddesses would argue like civilized beings, but Epani had...Read More »


Considerations For Revenge

Arkay expected to wake up in a cage, but, for some reason, he was in a comfy bed. He wasn’t even chained to it or anything. He was just lying there. And sitting by his side was Sini, not doing anything in particular.

“Hello, brother. How did you sleep?”

“Uh… angrily…” Arkay...Read More »


Headaches and Lingering Anger

Elkay sighed to himself as he sat on the very top of the Shimmering Blade and gazed off into the distance. Normally, the colossal Phantai vessel would be swiftly travelling through the perpetual darkness, patrolling its territories alongside a fleet of smaller ships, but a vast vacuum storm had brought...Read More »


Misplaced Communicator

Kayel waved as the sleek, shiny silver car sped off, then made his way down the pavement, towards what was now essentially his second home. Sure, Kayel did rent a tiny apartment in the Skyavok sub-district of Salla, but these days, he mostly lived with the three freaks that made...Read More »


Talks About Risks

Deathbringer: Hey guys. How’s the headache, Litvir?

Souldrainer: Arkay! I am very happy to hear from you!

Deathbringer: Yeah, about that…

Flamebearer: It is temporary, I assume.

Deathbringer: Ugh… Probably…

Deathbringer: I suppose I ought to explain.

Souldrainer: Please do. Because I badly miss your presence. Even if it is mostly text-based.

Deathbringer: Simply put, Epani blatantly...Read More »


Intervention Promises

“Arkay.”

“Kairos.”

The Whenvern had been mightily suspicious when he’d received a message to head to one of Sini’s labs. He’d expected to speak to the Allbirther herself, but no, floating above the strange, vine-covered lab was someone Kairos did not want to see.

“I am not apologising for stabbing you.”

“Of course not....Read More »


Sudden Imprisonment

Epani tutted to herself as she sailed through the cosmos. She was currently in her monstrous, sea creature form, with two sets of clawed flippers, a long, finned tail and colossal jaws, and a dangling, glowing lure jutting from her head. She was currently looking for her errant fellow deity,...Read More »


Gone Cold

Epani’s screams of agony would have echoed across the cosmos, but the torture chamber Arkay had built didn’t allow for that. Really, Arkay was surprised at how quickly Epani had buckled to the pain, howling and wailing as… well, Arkay hadn’t even really done that much yet. It was mostly...Read More »


Four Race Assistance

The four individuals all glanced awkwardly at each other as they sat in the small conference hall in a hotel in Hel, Kolasi. None of them wanted to be there. None of them really knew how they got there. Two of them had tried to leave via the door, only...Read More »


Chatting with Psikay

“Kinda thought we’d have more than 34 Rethans here…” Psikay muttered as he watched Kuta dismiss their troops. The perky red and gold Skyavok had already sorted out the KD-Sub-Class and given everyone their jobs and schedules, and now he was just wandering around, watching the Rethans get to work....Read More »


Oullic Safe Space

Elkay didn’t know if he was awake or not.

The last thing Elkay could remember was having a fever and passing out. Right now though, he was sort of… lying down but also floating, in a very dark nothingness that was punctuated by the occasional coloured light. None of the lights...Read More »


Colossal Thraki

“Is it just me, or is that a very, very large Thraki?”

Psikay had been enjoying his current duties of looking after a sleeping death god, but right now, he was quite concerned. Sure, his team of K-Class soldiers, working alongside a team of Ksithans, a mini-tribe of Banikans and half...Read More »


Kaironic Rage

No one would have noticed had the Ksithans not heard the beating of colossal wings. Wings far, far larger than anything remotely possible. Wings that cloaked the landscape in shadows. The Whenvern, the Dragon God of Time, was circling the planet, clearly searching for the fallen Thantophor. Currently, the comatose...Read More »


Kaironic Aftermath

“Thank Allbirther Sini for modern medical technology, right? Also thank you Ksithans for modern medical technology, I guess…”

Psikay was the only person in the room in a good mood, even as the Ksithan medic wrapped up his broken arm in a flexi-cast and jabbed him in the elbow with a...Read More »


A Little Hug

“What the actual fuck…”

Arkay thought he was completely alone, trapped inside a place only he really knew about. The Mimic Headspace (Arkay hadn’t thought of a cooler name yet) was a strange, meta-physical place where Arkay’s mind astral-projected to whenever he was comatose or his body was badly injured and...Read More »


Status Quo

Epani blinked as something clicked beside her and everything was flooded with light. After twenty days trapped inside an old, phthoric container with barely enough room to move, the Panelix was free once more.

“Oh. Hello, sister.”

“Epani! Are you alright?”

Two very different responses. Two understandable responses. Kairos was glad that Epani...Read More »


Godly Intel Moving Forward

“Gonna be honest, I was kinda hoping that Arkay would at least say thank you to us or something…”

Psikay was unamused, borderline angry. Which was weird because Psikay was normally incredibly chirpy. His three strange friends weren’t a good mood either.

“Like, you said Arkay was pretty chill, Kuta! But he...Read More »


Back to Work

Arkadin snarled as consciousness returned to him. He wasn’t where he remembered. In fact, he was on the wrong planet entirely. He wasn’t on a planet at all.

“Easy, little brother” a voice cooed from somewhere within the room. After a few awkward moments, a door ahead of Arkadin slid open,...Read More »


Forgotten Voidborn Presence

“I do not like it, sister!”

“It’s just a Voidborn.”

“It is hovering outside.”

“Yeah. Outside. It’s not hurting anyone.”

“I want it gone, Sini.”

“Well, get your pet to deal with it then!”

“He is not my pet.”

“You treat him like one.”

“Well… he IS a death god. It is better that we keep him on...Read More »
