Dead For Four Seconds

Yisini eyed the pink, elegant water suspiciously. She wanted to bathe in the springs and waterfalls around her jungle kingdom, to stretch out and relax in the warm, running waters, but something in the back of her brain was bothering her. The last time she was here, Yisini had ended up getting kidnapped by a … Read more

Arkadin grunted as the Whenvern slumped down next to him. He had been sitting all alone on a little floating rock on the far side of the universe. He had wanted to be out here, all on his own. But as always, one of his siblings had ignored his wishes. “What do you want, Kairos?” … Read more

Gold and silver explosions erupted from the wreckage as the cosmic dragon deity incinerated the remains, breathing flames that reached millions of kelvin. What had once been a vast, intricately decorated ship was nothing more than dust and debris. All destroyed, courtesy of Kairos, the Draconic Lord of Time, Life and Decay. Only one thing … Read more

Yisini watched as the vile Voidborn continued to pace, more and more agitated that his plan was taking longer than predicted. The pacing was relentless, and recently the Voidborn had taken to holding a white and gold cube and shaking it around, as if to vent its anger. This was probably the worst time for … Read more

Epani’s plan was flawless. She had spent the last couple of hours slowly explaining everything to Arkadin and the three mortals who happened to be present. The plan was simple enough. They find out Kairos’s location via an advanced form of echolocation, they establish a link with the Allbirther to get a guaranteed location on … Read more

“Hmph. This is taking longer than I expected.” Yisini watched from a gilded cage as the golden Voidborn paced up and down. She had no idea where they actually were, apart from “outside the universe” and the more Yisini tried to find out, the more confused and perplexed she got. Nothing in this strange place … Read more

“Oh, hello!” Kayel smiled as the vast, ghastly being floated outside his balcony and two very large Rethans stood on it. Kayel loved visitors and today was no exception. Well, Kayel liked visitors, but his K-Class body guards hated them. Sadly, he knew these particular guests weren’t here to see him, but for something else. … Read more

“When my horrorscope claimed that a deity would destroy my home, this was not what I had in mind…” Retvik and Gath stood outside where their home once was, in the storage areas of Palaestra. Their house, a converted warehouse with a pretty garden out front and out back, was the last in a long … Read more

Ahkron was glad to see that the Voidborn inhabiting this universe was smarter than most. After seeing what Ahkron had done with the universe’s main deities, the Voidborn had taken this universe’s head deity, its Personification, and sealed it away deep within a heavily fortified castle, guarded by a combination of Voidborn-Clones and Living Tenta-Forests, … Read more

Ahkron couldn’t help but laugh as everything fell perfectly into place. Not only had the Time and Space Gods arrived to save their life-bearing sister, but their Death God had appeared as well, which made everything so much easier. Death Gods that were protective of their siblings were few and far between, but the presence … Read more

Something was watching Yisini as she bathed in the glorious pink, frothy rivers of her jungle home. Whatever it was, it had been watching Yisini for quite some time now, not breathing, not moving, not doing anything apart from watching. At first, the Allbirther, the giver of life itself, hadn’t noticed. After all, she was … Read more

“WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?” The door slammed open, barely remaining attached to its hinges. The two deities leaped up in shock, picking themselves up off the floor and standing up straight. “Kenon…” Kairos stutted as the massive, heavily armoured, six-limbed golden being lurched through the doorway, turning his head to one side so its … Read more

“It wasn’t Yisini, was it?” Kairos was lying on the fluffy carpet of his ‘bedroomland’, the room his mother had always set aside for him whenever he was sad or ill. His wings were completely outstretched but they didn’t come close to brushing against the walls. Running water from a small fountain gave the room … Read more

Arkadin knocked on the large, wooden door. Inside, he could hear familiar but unwelcome sounds as Yisini was quite obviously enjoying herself with some poor mortal. As soon as Arkadin had knocked though, the sounds stopped and were replaced with those of something scampering away. After a few more moments, the door opened up, revealing … Read more

Most of the Tragon cafes the two beings had passed had been absolutely packed but this little cafe was rather empty. It was clear why, the sign above it loudly proclaimed that it was for first dates only. Inside were only a handful of potential couples, all sizing each other up and awkwardly making small … Read more
