Darkened Time

“Hi, Dalosisaar, I, uh, I need to tell you something. Like, right now. And we might need to get Murum’Va here too. And maybe Syksis and Litvir in case things get squiffy.” Despite being a kid, Kohra was generally rather independent and headstrong, but there was a hint of fear and panic in Kohra’s voice … Read more

“Kyr Elkay, are you busy? I think the answer is yes but I am concerned about you.” Elkay looked up from his desk, which was utterly covered in paper. The most important piece of paper was directly in front of him, a photo of some sort of strange sentence written in light, which Elkay had … Read more

“I would say that I am surprised to see you here, but I think we all know that this meeting was going to happen…” Dalosisaar remained strong as he, Elkay and Aster approached the Whenvern, who was perched on his throne, a strange collection of pillows, coins and sparkling gems. “Indeed. Which is why I … Read more

“Stop scratching.” “Shut up, I’m itchy!” “The scratching isn’t helping.” “But I’m so bloody itchy!” “The scratching will make it worse.” “Can’t get much worse right now!” Kohra was not doing great. His arms were bothering him, where his fur was regrowing at a worryingly fast speed. He could see some of the fresh hairs … Read more

“How are they doing?” “I mean, we’re gods. We heal fast…” The overall mood among the Twelve Anew was rather negative currently. While yes, they had technically completed their mission of getting rid of the Episkeft, in doing so, they had been forced to allow Kairos to get close to the anomaly, and several of … Read more

Everything was very hot. Painfully hot. So hot that skin would sear and blood would vaporise, that eyes would melt away and fat would liquefy. But Litvir was still standing there. Unable to move. Unable to see. Unable to do anything but blindly experience the nuclear inferno surrounding them. While the horrible heat surrounded Litvir, … Read more

“Has it really done nothing this entire time?” Kohra swiped through pages and tabs on his tablet, going through data, before nodding. “Yeah. It’s done nothing. If anything, the only thing it has done is expand by four centimetres. Apart from that? Absolutely nothing. No change in movement, no change in spin or velocity, no … Read more

“I heard that you pissed off Prime Minister Panos…” “Oh, did you?” Aesop was clearly in a bad mood and didn’t want to talk, especially while he was in the Back Room at the Castle at the Centre of the Universe, eating in silence. After Epani had learned that some of her deities were struggling … Read more

“You’ve perked up.” Normally, Nanik or Aster would come to the northern edge of the universe to relieve Litvir of their guard patrol duties, mostly because Litvir would routinely forget that they need to take breaks. Today though, Aesop had come to the top of the universe, because he had just been relieved from duty … Read more

“You’re not doing well, are you, Epani?” Epani tutted, suddenly distracted from her work. But as her eyes refocused, Epani realised she had been working for two days straight without rest. This distraction was a required one, courtesy of Syksis, the Goddess of Healing. “I am fine.” “Physically, you are fine. As far as I … Read more

“So, little ones, any updates?” Dalosisaar glanced across the room. Not all of the Twelve Anew were present today, and those who were, some of them seemed a little annoyed. And, oddly, they were willing to show that annoyance while the Allmaker was present. “I don’t have updates, just questions!” Syksis tutted. “Where the heck … Read more

“So you want me to IGNORE a time anomaly?” It had taken the Twelve Anew a little too long to get the courage to have this meeting with both Epani and Kairos. Kairos had been aggressive for a while, and he clearly still was today, growling at the demands that the younger deities were asking … Read more
