Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
It was nice being back home. Sure, Retvik needed to go shopping, but he could finally take off his armour and just wander around in a stomach wrap and loin cloth. In fact, his housemates had already gone and done something similar. As soon as they’d stepped back inside Retvik’s house, Nyssi had removed almost … Read more
Kohra and Levik both felt somewhat uneasy as they waited in the narrow hallway. Sure, they had ten bodyguards with them, two of whom were Rethavok supplied by the Great Arenas, but they were also sharing a hallway with the mighty Lightbearer, a living legend that even the two Rethan guards feared. However, the two … Read more
“Fuck no, no way, no fucking way, no no no!” Tenuk had wished he’d not checked his messages before the flight. The flight had been delayed by half an hour, so everyone was kinda stuck on board, waiting for, well, something. Things weren’t too bad, since Tenuk and his three friends were in their own … Read more
“So, uh, Retvik, can you actually drive?” Retvik frowned as he awkwardly sipped from a very tiny champagne glass. After their stupid adventure, the four of them were now sitting in an extra large jacuzzi, eating fancy food and drinking fancy drinks. The locals were very happy that the big scary monsters were no longer … Read more
A burst of flames erupted from Thassalin’s jaws as the colossal Thraki set fire to a very specific patch of forest, then circled above, watching for moment. Weirdly, as he had slowed down, the weird screaming noise from behind him had stopped. Thassalin had forgotten he had passengers on his back. “Come on, Tenuk, you’ve … Read more
For a mountain, Mount Helvede wasn’t very mountainous. Sure, it had a steep point, but the incline was relatively low, to the point that you could drive up parts of it with ease. In fact, that was kinda what had happened, since Kayel had been somewhat blindly just following the GPS and going where it … Read more
Things had taken longer than expected, and the sudden arrival of night had forced them to slow down, and a well-hidden tree stump had forced them to stop completely. The 4×4 vehicle was fine, but Kayel was insistent that they take a break and camp for the evening. Not because he was tired, or couldn’t … Read more
“Alright, here are your health metres, here’s where the trail starts, you guys got a tracker on your GPS to lead you back here, have fun!” The team of Lanex and Temthan researchers had very quickly driven off, leaving Xeno Dessaron One somewhat perplexed. Sure, they had just been given a very fancy 4×4 vehicle … Read more
Xeno Dessaron One were supposed to be having a relaxing day before they set off into the treacherous jungles of Kolasi, but Retvik was struggling with that simple request. While Nyssi was sunbathing by the pool, Tenuk was getting a special treatment for his fur and Kayel was getting a lot of pampering and attention … Read more
Kolasi, despite its name referring to a place of fire and brimstone, was only really slightly better than a non-existent afterlife. It was an abandon-world, meaning that most of the jungle-laced planet was free from civilization, and the megafauna was allowed to run wild. That being said, there was a large tourist industry focused on … Read more
The Great Dessaron Battle Arena was the main form of entertainment for the twelve intelligent races of this small, cozy universe, where people would watch, either in person or on live streams, gladiators fight against each other, with real blood and injuries, but also none of the death. Everything was set up to placate the … Read more
The force of the heavily armoured Rethavok sitting down on the bench next to Psiksi nearly made him fly into the air and drop his sandwich. Despite being a famous gladiator, Retvik was an exile and didn’t really have many friends outside of work colleagues, and Psiksi was probably the closest thing to a friend … Read more
“Boys and girls, we have a problem.” Nyssi glanced at the rest of Xeno Dessaron One, wondering why the Raptor had used the word ‘girls’ when she was the only actual girl present. Then again, despite the other three all using the same pronouns, technically, Tenuk was the only boy present too. “Is the problem … Read more
Retvik didn’t want to wake up, he was very comfy, dozing on the sofa with one of Kayel’s hoodies wrapped around his head, and Kayel himself purring, half asleep by Retvik’s side, wearing a bright pink and salon striped hoodie of his own. But something was poking Retvik in the leg and that was bothering … Read more
“Before we go out there, I got some questions?” The Raptor paced up and down, inspecting her four gladiators. She was a little upset that she couldn’t get their customized armour ready in time for their big reveal, but it was probably for the best. The world knew Xeno Dessaron One as a team that … Read more
