Villa By The Lake
“You seem to get pretty exhausted when you shadowjump, Little Bitey!” Kayel mocked as he peered from the doorway, as he heard a loud thump in Retvik’s otherwise empty bedroom.
Kuta grunted as they picked themselves up off the floor. For a change, Kuta wasn’t wearing their standard scary Below Twenty...Read More »
Three In Shot
“This is pretty.”
Limilian Lake was a large large freshwater lake, but its centre was very narrow, to the point that it looked like a rough figure-eight from above. Still, even at the narrow point, the distance between the two shores was about half a kilometre, and the Limilian Lake provided...Read More »
Potentially Unreliable Evidence
“Did you get any information?”
Kuta repeatedly bashed their head against the table. They had been doing so for a good five minutes. Anything to distract them from the dizziness, the migraine, the bubbling anger in the back of their mind, screaming that Kuta wasn’t safe and needed to lash out....Read More »
Sedated Two Ways
Really, Gath was in the way. But no one dared attempt to move the colossal Rethan from Relkir’s side. Doing so would be to risk harming themselves. In fact, Gath had been involuntarily sedated in a bid to stop them from going Defensive Stance at the sight of their poor,...Read More »
Reassurances and Missing Memories
Kayel paced up and down one apartment, before deciding to shadowjump to another. He wasn’t going to be able to get these troubles out of his head on his own. But as Kayel made his way down the stairs of Retvik’s nice, four-bedroom home, he realized there were three people...Read More »
A Different Attempt
There was a dead Rethan on the floor. A young, dead Rethan, with purple plating and a gold collar around their neck.
Atuho, the Imperator of the Vast Sands, didn’t like getting his hands dirty, but, well, this Rethan had broken into his sleeping quarters and tried to kill him. He...Read More »
Fighting A Shadow
“Tolmes, mes’sto spito mou! Mes’sta skota!”
There was a Rethan in Elkay’s bedroom, trying to shoot him with what looked like a small, automatic pistol of some sort. It was a blatant assassination attempt, and the only reason why Elkay’s elite team of former Phantasma body guards hadn’t come in and...Read More »
Outside of Diplomacy
Kuta was not at all surprised when, the moment they reappeared back in their apartment after a nice evening with their poten-partner and their friends, that they got a phone call. They had planned to take off their armour, have a quick shower and go to bed, but no, work...Read More »
Shadowy Worries
“I hate to bother you, Retvik, but can you come with me for a bit?”
It was about midnight, Retvik wasn’t really sure, but that familiar thump as Kuta shadowjumped into his bedroom and hit the deck had woken him up.
“Are you alright, Kuta? Retvik immediately asked as he threw his...Read More »
Shadowy Preparations
Really, the day had been a bit of a blur for Kuta. So much had happened. A demotion. A promotion. A mission brief. A change of armour. A layer of paint and varnish. A trip to the space port. A flight.
A lot of things.
Kuta was now sitting in an empty...Read More »
Telepathic Infiltration
“That is a lot of fluffy kitties…”
Elkay gave Kuta a funny look as the Shadow and the Spiritdrainer slipped through the darkness, pulling themselves through shadows as they made their way across what looked like a basic warehouse district in Sec-404, in the northern territories of Torr 9-6. They came...Read More »
Telepathic Overload
Normally, during such an obvious break-in, the Golden Guard security service would have already mowed down the intruder, but all 30 guards stationed at this particular warehouse, an experimental lab for the Aurai Protectorum, a powerful paramilitary and para-governmental corporation, were all frozen in their tracks, unable to move. Worse,...Read More »
Offhanded Settlement
“Prime Minister Panolionos.”
“High General Rethais.”
Panolionos, Panos for short, had been the leader of the Torr for a good two decades now. Yes, he was an elected leader, technically, but not by a popular vote like most other races. The Torr heavily segmented their territories into specific states, each state was...Read More »
Settling Nerves and Memories
Retvik should have been celebrating, but he was currently pacing up and down the living room, stressed out of his mind. News was beginning to spread about some sort of strange “mind bomb” at a secret Torr lab that had left a lot of people dead. A secret Torr lab...Read More »
Anti-Telepathic Medication
Kuta rubbed their head, then turned their attention to a bowl of sweet potato soup that had been set out for them. There were a lot of emotions going through Kuta’s poor, battered brain right now, but there were three emotions that stood out: guilt, hunger and horniness. The first...Read More »
Distant Confessions
Spiritdrainer: I am sorry.
Spiritdrainer: You were right.
Spiritdrainer: It happened again.
Souldrainer is now online.
Souldrainer: Are you alright?
Souldrainer: Can you call me?
Spiritdrainer is now online.
Spiritdrainer: Hello, Litvir. I do not know if I can call you right now.
Spiritdrainer: I have been given medication meant for Vohra that has numbed my telepathy, and...Read More »
