The twelve new lesser deities of the Phoviverse are an odd bunch, all trying to deal with being gods.
Budding Friendship
Aster had just headed back to the Hall of the Gods, located at the fortress at the centre of the universe, to pick up his shield that he’d accidentally left behind. The lights weren’t on, everyone had left a few hours ago, but Aster had border patrol duties on Sunday,...Read More »
Homework Assistance
“Mama… uh… Kyr Elkay, can you help me with something please?”
Elkay growled to himself as he finished placing a row of books on a shelf. One of the many parts of the deal that had given Elkay divinity involved building a massive, universally accessible library, available for all races to...Read More »
Rushed Baby Deity
Litvir did their best to stay upright as they nearly skidded into the entrance into the Grand Hall, but after straightening themselves out, Litvir realized that there were only 47th Legion soldiers present. And the High General was sitting in their throne, chatting with the High Advisor.
“I am so, so...Read More »
Forever Shadow
“Is something wrong, Elkay?”
Kohra noticed that his friend (and the overall guide and smart person of the Twelve Anew) was sitting at his desk, sighing loudly, clearly in a bad mood. Kohra had come in, wanting some quick advice on setting up elections and doing a census (not really something...Read More »
Macromera Rest
Relkir normally hated the large mansion that the High General traditionally lived in, and avoided going there at all costs, but since it was Macromera, Relkir had somewhat been forced to stay for a couple of days.
Macromera, at least for Rethans, was always a family get-together. Three days of festivities....Read More »
Holiday Recap
“So, how were your winter celebrations?” Dalosisaar asked as everyone sat themselves down for the Twelve Anew report meeting.
“I think I am still hung over…” Maresia muttered as she rubbed her head. “Too much to drink. Turns out, being deified doesn’t stop you from getting drunk, just makes you capable...Read More »
New Game Plus
It had been a while since Elkay had returned to his actual home. Since Elkay was the All-Ksa, he technically had multiple homes, the All-Ksa’s villa, which he hated, a large penthouse apartment in End One which was close to work, and his own little apartment on the edge of...Read More »
Periuniversal Game Session
LK0044K: Hello.
KL1492L: oh piss

LK0044K: Good guess.

KL1492L: oh cool
IceShield: Hello! New person! Welcome to the clan!
Arkay: Oh fuck. Totally forgot I did...Read More »
Elkayne Delirium
Elkay wasn’t sure why, but he felt oddly nervous as he stepped into the Crystal Palace, one of the Whenvern’s four massive, diamond-coated homes, scattered across the corners of the universe. He had questions, asked by his fellow Twelve Anew, that Elkay himself couldn’t answer. But also questions that Elkay...Read More »
Dragon Purification Plans
“WHAT?”
Dalosisaar backed off ever so slightly as Epani stood up from her throne.
“Uh… we think Kairos might be a little… Corrupted…”
“Because he attacked Elkay?”
“Because he attacked Elkay, was spouting nonsense and wasn’t using his time powers. In a fair fight, he would have frozen all of us because he literally...Read More »
Fixed Drake
The amount of snapping coming from the unconscious Time Drake was rather concerning, even though the Twelve Anew had chained Kairos up to stop him from moving. Even with Aster manipulating gravity around the Whenvern to make him too heavy to really move, Kairos would still occasionally suddenly break...Read More »
Perpetual Homework
“Hey, Litvir, are you alright?” Aster asked as he entered the great hall where the Twelve Anew normally held their meetings. Yet again, Aster had accidentally left his shield there, and, yet again, Litvir was sitting there, at the main table. However, today, Litvir wasn’t asleep, they seemed to be...Read More »
Giant Advisor
“Hello, little one!”
Despite technically only being 2 months old, Litvir was somewhat taller than average. And because they were skinny and adolescent, physically about 15 years old, it was possible that Litvir would grow taller. However, most beings, Litvir included, felt absolutely tiny when confronted with Gath, the Keeper, the...Read More »
Right of Might
“By the Right of Might, by the Law of Sheer Power, I challenge you, Panolionos, to a duel, a battle of blades, for political control of the Torr.”
Panos struggled to his feet, then turned to face the person who had led a small military force into the main chamber of...Read More »
Might of Choices
“Hello, little Torr.”
While Aesop never really feared the Panelix, he used to worship her after all, ever since the whole thing with the Whenvern being ill, Aesop always felt… not scared, but anxious, whenever he was in Kairos’s presence. The mighty Time Drake had required all of the Twelve Anew...Read More »
Brothers Back Together
The knock on the door caught Levik by surprise. His order of crepes, covered in honey and marshmallows, had already arrived, so he wasn’t expecting anyone. Still, Levik put his food down, paused the TV show he was watching and got up to answer the door.
As soon as Levik unlocked...Read More »
School Troubles
Litvir shivered nervously in their seat as they sat in front of Captain Mathenon, one of the many, many Captains of the 901st Legion, representing both teachers and school administrators. Mathenon was the headmaster of Litvir’s school, and had called Litvir to their office at the end of the day...Read More »
Signs of Adoption
Now that Relkir was definitely, permanently in a relationship with Gath, they were spending more and more time just living at Gath’s place. Sure, Relkir was a Captain of the 47th Legion, with their own nice place and all that, but Relkir’s home was tiny, and it only really fit...Read More »
Happy Three Months
Litvir sighed to themselves as they wiped golden blood off their face. They didn’t like killing these Voidborn intruders, but that seemed to be the only way of stopping them from breaking into the universe properly and killing everyone. Litvir had become efficient at killing the intruders, essentially blinding them...Read More »
Elkayne Theories
Relkir couldn’t deny that they were briefly scared as something pulled itself through the shadow underneath their desk, but as they realized who it was, they did quickly calm down.
“Hello, Kyr Elkay…” Relkir got up from their desk so the dark being could get up, then stood to one side...Read More »
Outdoor House Warming Party
It had taken way too long, but Kohra had finally managed to settle down in a beautiful villa that he had built not long after he was deified. As Kohra had disowned his father, the same way his father disowned Kohra’s older brother Levik, building a home in Spast territories...Read More »
Pop Quiz Concerns
Somewhere deep in Elkay’s new library, Kohra could hear crying. Akusasiiri had heard the crying first, but she was in the middle of a meeting with Elkay and some patrons, working out how to add an art gallery to the library. Kohra didn’t have anything to add to that meeting,...Read More »
Planned Time Off
“Good day, Lady Epani.”
The Allmaker normally didn’t need to check in on her twelve little deities, but occasionally, they’d come to her, asking for advice. All of them were very good at their jobs, they’d worked pretty much flawlessly so far, and Epani was actually proud of them. None of...Read More »
Anniversary Explanations
“Um, hello, ma- uh… Kyr Elkay…”
“Hello, Litvir, please, come in!”
For reasons Elkay couldn’t quite work out, Litvir seemed somewhat uneasy today, as they entered Elkay’s office. Elkay noticed that Litvir was clutching their gun-staff very tightly, and there were specks of gold blood all over them.
Litvir glanced around, then did...Read More »
A Long Recess
It felt wrong, not wearing heavy armour.
Litvir always wore armour. The strong, metal armour. They needed to, as it was their duty to protect the universe, and, in order to do that, Litvir had to protect themselves. Today though, Litvir was wearing casual armour. Similar to what everyone else was...Read More »
Art Class
After-school activities were common at the Junior Stratos, and there was often several after-school activities every day, set up for all sorts of interests for young Rethans. Litvir though normally missed these fun extra lessons, and would spend what little spare time they had in the study halls, trying to...Read More »
Swinging Fun
The final bell for school echoed across the Junior Stratos Sub-Legion, signalling the end of the work day. Normally, Litvir would have hated that, because they knew they’d have to rush back to their tiny room in the main barracks, do as much homework as possible and then immediately rush...Read More »
Home for the Weekend
Most Rethan kids stayed within their local Junior Stratos sub-legion, where they’d live together and learn together at the same time, and they only went home on the weekends. Litvir though normally stayed until Monday morning, at the barracks of their sub-legion, only occasionally staying with one of the other...Read More »
Comfy Sofa
The sofa was soft. Very soft. Fabric covered and fluffy. The cushions were filled with feathers and the seats were backed up by a weird foam. Either way, Litvir was feeling very, very comfortable right now. Sure, Litvir had several beds, but none of them were as comfortable as the...Read More »
Throwing More Balls At Cute Animals
“Are you busy right now?”
Litvir glanced up from their packet of potato crisps. They were just sitting on the sofa, staring blankly ahead.
“Oh, hello Kyr Relkir. I am not busy. Do you… need me?”
“Not in particular…” Relkir sat down next to Litvir. Litvir was a good 40cm taller than Relkir,...Read More »
Friendly Studying
The study hall was busy today. It was coming up to the end of the school year, so most young Rethans had exams to prepare for. The tests weren’t until the end of May, but the teachers had all explained that it was better to prepare early than to rush...Read More »
New Emotions
“Kyr Elkay! Kyr Elkay! I need you! I have questions! I do not know who or how to ask!”
Elkay was quietly reading a book in his office, taking a well deserved break. He’d been running all over the place recently, mostly with a lot of legal stuff, helping Aesop with...Read More »
Draconic Recommendations
“So, how are you doing?” Dalosisaar asked as Kohra and Litvir both sat down.
Kohra shrugged. “I’m honestly fine. Just finished a university project, and I finished it early, so I have some extra free time.”
“Ah, good. Litvir, how are you doing? Elkay informed me that you were upset yesterday.”
Litvir squirmed...Read More »
Drawing Therapy
“What do you mean, there are no lessons today?”
“There are no lessons today.”
Litvir peered through the window looking into the empty classroom, then turned back to their teacher, Tekni. Tekni was there to set up an art activity for later in the day involving paper and glue, and thankfully, they...Read More »
Fire Alarms
Litvir could smell smoke. Bad smoke. Although Litvir was supposed to be asleep like everyone else, they could definitely smell that something was wrong. They quickly got up and glanced out of their tiny window, but they didn’t see smoke. Mostly because it was dark.
Feeling concerned, Litvir climbed out of...Read More »
The Better Choice
“Hey, kiddo. Wake up.”
Litvir blinked, then rubbed their eyes. Once their eyes were somewhat cleared, Litvir glanced around. They weren’t in the same place. Someone had moved Litvir while they were asleep. They hadn’t moved far though. They seemed to be in a medical-related tent. But there was commotion outside....Read More »
Potentially New Parents
Litvir felt better now that they were outside Kyr Gath’s home. Since part of the Junior Stratos base where Litvir lived had caught fire, in order to repair things more quickly, all Rethan kids were sent back home to their parents and guardians until the repairs were done. Apparently it...Read More »
