Forced Time Off Work
The General of the 1000th Legion grunted to themselves as they entered the Kentron, the centre of the Rethan government. Gath Tsoriou was an utterly colossal Rethan, standing at 3.2m tall and covered in cream and brown plating, with nearly black skin. They were a soldier-caste Rethan, not normally someone...Read More »
Little Date with a Big Guy
The Twenty Below Cafe was built and catered for Rethans that worked in the Below Twenty Legions or for the Legion of the High General, but since it was the middle of the day, the place was pretty much empty apart from one table in the corner. Relkir was very...Read More »
Games, Walks and Talks
Being large, heavy creatures, Rethan cities were built to be very wide and not very tall. After all, when the average height of a Rethavok is 2.5m, it gets expensive building skyscrapers that can contain said large beings. The roads in Rethan cities though were even wider, designed mostly for...Read More »
Dinner and Drinks
Gath tapped on the table, lost in thought, minding their own business. They had admittedly not had a good day. A day filled with medical appointments. None of them good. It turned out, being shot 30 times while on an adrenaline-fuelled rampage protecting the innocent as a young adult was...Read More »
Day After A Great Night
Relkir panicked for a moment as they woke up from one of the best sleeps they’d ever had. They weren’t in their own bed. They were sharing with someone else. Or, well, they were? It was a very, very big bed, Relkir couldn’t reach either edge if they stretched their...Read More »
Suggestions About The Lake
Rethais never enjoyed reading through paperwork in the throne room. It wasn’t a particularly satisfying or comfortable working area. Sure, it worked fine for meetings and discussions, but for quieter work, it was useless. And while, yes, Rethais was the High General, they could change these things, there was never...Read More »
Invitation to the Lake 1
“Hello, Kuta, are you busy?”
Kuta blinked as Taliv poked them in the side. The other seven 11th Legion Rethans in the room all fell silent.
“Kyr Kuta, the High General is speaking to you…” Taliv whispered.
“Oh… OH!” Kuta immediately got up and straightened themselves out. “Kyr Rethais,...Read More »
Invitation to the Lake 2
Captain Ignair nearly jumped out of their skin as they opened the door and was greeted by the General of the Retha of all beings.
Ignair was a very, very young soldier-caste Rethan who used to have bright red plating, but the plating on their arms was charred black, and they...Read More »
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 »
Siblings-by-Partnership
Everything had been very, very pleasant so far, but right now, the High General wanted to spend some time with their siblings, and it turned out that the Lake had a jacuzzi, something Gath had always wanted to try, so that was what Gath, Lysar and Kuta were all doing...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 »
Unwanted Contact
Despite the fact that Relkir had been caught in the crossfire of an assassination attempt on their sibling, the High General, they were feeling pretty good. Not only had their beloved poten-partner Gath been by Relkir’s side the entire time, but they also got to spend extra time with their...Read More »
A Shorter Future Than Desired
It had taken way too long, but Gath had finally convinced Retvik to bugger off for a bit so they could have some privacy. Gath didn’t like having to pull rank, but Retvik was getting clingy-defensive over their injured sibling, even though Relkir was doing a lot better now. And...Read More »
