Adventures with the L-Class Ksa

“Kayel…” “Welcome back, Emel…” The collection of Ksa had traipsed through kilometers of forest, looking for a single tree house. They had expected to see a very basic home run by six Rethans. What they instead found was a small mansion of a tree house, which mainly acted as a cover to a large, black … Read more

“Out of all the Thraki on Portalia, they had to send me to speak to the lunatic…” Lokmah was not happy. He had a long list of chores and duties he needed to fulfil by the end of the week and he had hardly done any of them. The sudden interruption of being told he … Read more

Kayel’s communicator buzzed away to itself. He had declined to answer the first three times someone had tried to call him, but this time he decided to let it ring. “Was it really that bad?” Veeyel asked. “Yes. I never thought my own kid would be so… ignorant of us…” Veeyel wasn’t sure what to … Read more

“Hello, Kayel… I, er… see why you wished to have a video conversation…” Kayel shifted awkwardly in his seat, unsure what to say. In the other room, Psiksi and Kass waiting around. He’d had to borrow Psiksi’s communicator, he wanted a secure line with which to speak to the High General. “Hello, Elkay…” Kayel finally … Read more

“You awake?” “Well, I was…” Kayel rolled over, sighing. He was tired. So much worrying had made him exhausted, and now he was trying to get some sleep before their flying lessons tomorrow. This though was the second time Veeyel had woken him up. “Sorry…” “No, it’s fine. What do you want?” “I’m just… I’ve … Read more

It had been an interesting few days, but Veeyel was glad to be home. Everyone else had managed to make it back in time, they were just waiting for him. There was confetti and everything. Someone had even baked a cake. “Did you all really miss me that much?” Veeyel asked as the door swung … Read more

Ksiel was stuck. It had all started off rather simple. He’d tried to fly, using his new wings. In the past, he’d used telekinetically powered ‘energy wings’ that weren’t wings at all – he’d simply fly around using telekinesis. But now he had a massive pair of dark, powerful wings, he wanted to fly for … Read more

“Nothing mentioned teleportation. NOTHING! Why is this HAPPENING?” All around was empty space, peppered with debris. Eternal darkness. If it wasn’t for the handful of small, floating platforms, Kayel probably would have died by now. He was thankful that he and Psivee-En had landed on a particularly large platform. Everything else in the ritual had … Read more

“Are we ready?” Kayel stood in the centre of the large, stone chamber. In front of him was a cast iron cauldron, slowly being heated by a small fire. Around him, his friends stood patiently, from youngest to oldest. Zitel first, followed by Thitel, Veeyel and Ksiel, with Psivee-En at the end. On the ground, … Read more

Kayel patiently waited behind the pile of rubble for the angry Thraki to take a breath. He wasn’t really sure what he had done to anger Vokulunax like this, but clearly the golden wyvern was not willing to sit down and talk things out. Finally, Vokulunax paused for breath and Kayel managed to get some … Read more

Their request had been odd, but considering how the remaining members of the L-Class Ksa had treated him lately, Psivee-En had no choice but to do as they asked. Behind him was a heavy, stone door, held shut with a pile of equally heavy rocks. Behind that door were the five Ksa, all meditating in … Read more

Psivee-En stood in the centre of the room. Around him were half the L-Class Ksa, all staring at him, all judging him. Apart from Kayel, they all saw him as a monster. “You want me to spill my guts, yes? To tell you everything?” “Not everything,” Veeyel growled. Out of all of them, Psivee-En considered … Read more

“Kayel, can I have a moment?” Veeyel hesitated by the entrance to Kayel’s little alcove. “Sure,” Kayel whispered. “Come in.” His voice still wasn’t great, but at least Kayel was audible now. He was particularly glad, otherwise he’d have to push back the date of their… special ritual. “What do you want to talk about?” … Read more

“I think we’ve got it.” “We’ve got what?” Veeyel hadn’t been paying attention. He was busy reading a book about low energy, low level healing spells, trying to find information on repairing mobility problems in limbs. So far, he’d found nothing, but he was determined to find at least a spell to help numb his … Read more

Everything had been laid out perfectly. Across the ground, a star shape had been made across the ground, using a mixture of sand and crushed crystals. In the middle was a small bowl, containing various hard-to-get ingredients, and five vials of blood. The Rethans stood silently around the edge of the dusted star, while Kayel … Read more
