Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
As soon as Nyssi had read that sickening message, she knew she needed to urgently do something. Right that second. Without hesitation, she cancelled the date she’d planned with a random fan from her slowly growing gladiator fan club, she’d apologized to her team for bailing on going to the mall with them (although Retvik … Read more
The evening had turned out quite nice, but Kuta was still somewhat shocked at how they had been so blatantly ‘adopted’ into this small family of friends. Admittedly, Kuta hadn’t really said much. They had sat back and mostly just listened in, but they definitely felt like they fit in. As time passed, everyone had … Read more
“Today’s been weird…” Tenuk muttered as he sat down with a drink and a bowl of marshmallows. He was supposed to have been eating more healthily as part of a training routine to give himself more muscle mass, but Tenuk had been struggling, and it turned out that Spasts couldn’t really get muscular anyway. “I … Read more
Being a small, mechanical being that also somehow had emotions, Nuh regularly wished that he had a way of expressing them outside of the tone of his flat, mechanical voice, and the brightness of his large, lime green crystal eyes. Sure, Nuh would occasionally use his telepathy to express particularly strong emotions to his siblings, … Read more
Kuta was utterly miserable. It had been a long time since they’d experienced a breakup, and Kuta was taking it badly. Things were made worse by the fact that they still loved each other. And things were made awkward by the fact that Kuta had been forced to report the breakup to others. In hindsight, … Read more
“So, while we’re all just chilling out, mind if I ask a question?” Kayel glanced up from the kitchen, where he was busy preparing two pigeons he had shot and killed earlier. Pigeons were considered a massive pest in the city of Palaestra, and there were no laws against killing them. In fact, there were … Read more
It was pretty late, and most of the arenas had shut down. There were a couple of late night matches just finishing up, but things were quiet, which meant that the commotion in the Gold Suite sounded weird. Normally, the Gold Suite was left empty, as it was meant to host the four deities of … Read more
“Well that was hot.” “Definitely.” Kayel yawned and sat up, stretching out his arms. There were still specks of blood on him from his arena battle. He’d played the Big Bad, a vicious monster, his job being to stop a bunch of contestants from escaping a specially set up arena. Had any of the contestants … Read more
Normally, the Big Bad in the popular Thirteenth Night arena game show would be announced in advance, and there were several House Fighters who would regularly play as the big, scary monster that would go around pretending to kill contestants. Today though, the identity of the Big Bad had been kept a secret until all … Read more
Retvik had been genuinely surprised when the nice nurse had told him he could go home, as long as he stayed at home and rested as much as he could. He thought he would have been stuck in that room, fastened to that bed, for at least a week, awkwardly waiting for the vast amounts … Read more
Tenuk purred as he turned himself into a cat then leaped up onto Retvik’s lap, brushing up against him. “You’re awake! I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean it!” Retvik didn’t answer at first. He glanced to his left, where a Rethan nurse was standing. The nurse smiled, then came over and undid one of the … Read more
Tenuk had been sitting on the plastic bench in the hallway for about an hour now, feeling absolutely awful while shapeshifted into a bright blue, extremely fluffy cat. He was patiently waiting for a nurse or doctor to come by and say that he could go in and see Retvik, who was resting in the … Read more
Finally, after weeks of nothing, someone had finally stepped up to challenge Xeno Dessaron One. The problem was, the team that had stepped up was the Temthans of Anarchy, demanding a rematch. They were the team Xeno Dessaron One managed to beat just before the Whenvern crashed into the Great Arena, and, originally, they had … Read more
Kuta did not at all expect the cheers that erupted from this very nice four bedroom Rethan home as the front door opened. “ARKAY!” “GUYS!” Arkay almost exploded with joy, opening his arms as Retvik, Nyssi, Kayel and Tenuk all hugged him at once. Really, the four of them completely swamped the Death God, who … Read more
“For the one of you who hasn’t been here before, welcome to the Torn Islet.” Nyssi’s truck rumbled over a very rough, bumpy bridge that led to the large island. Really, it only just counted as an island, because the Asprokremmos river had split in two around it before rejoining on either side. But since … Read more
