Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Valorier watched with great intent as the heavily armoured Rethan very slowly swam back and forth across the pool. After each length, Retvik would noticeably slow down, getting more and more tired. Valorier kept on watching until he noticed that Retvik had stopped in the middle of the pool. After a few moments, Valorier spotted … Read more
Tenuk used to fear coming to the Raptor’s office, but these days, he wasn’t so bothered any more. Sure, the Raptor was an ancient Ksithan warlord who had taken over and united the Ksithan territories of Portalia, fought back the Clan Unmourned and now ran the largest gladiator arena in the universe, but Tenuk knew … Read more
“I WANT TO FIGHT YOUR BIG GUY!” Talok was on a roll. It seemed that pretty much everyone had underestimated the tiny telekinetic monster, who carried a great sword larger than she was. She’d already fought six matches and won them all handily. In fact, Talok had just beaten a Temthan competitor, having stolen their … Read more
“Whew! What a day!” Retvik grunted as he laid down on the sofa, watching as Kayel bounced around, fetching drinks for everyone. The mood was high, but everyone was pretty tired. They’d all just got back home from work, having fought a massive beast in the arenas. However, Kayel also fought his first solo match, … Read more
It was extremely rare for Torr to willingly participate in the Great Arenas. They were a prideful, cruel, powerful race that heralded from a strict, survival-of-the-fittest society and believed themselves to be better than everyone else. Not only were Torr muscular, athletic beings, but they were rather technologically advanced and wealthy as well. Well, some … Read more
Kayel waved as the sleek, shiny silver car sped off, then made his way down the pavement, towards what was now essentially his second home. Sure, Kayel did rent a tiny apartment in the Skyavok sub-district of Salla, but these days, he mostly lived with the three freaks that made up his house fighter gladiator … Read more
Talok felt very small right now. To be fair, she’d always felt small among other beings. She was a Vohra, and Vohra were short, round creatures that were never more than a meter tall. Worse, Talok felt naked. Vohra didn’t wear clothes. Sure, Talok wore a special sash and medallion, showing that she was a … Read more
It had been a while since Retvik had had so few people in his home. Kayel was on a date with Psiksi and had stayed at Psiksi’s oversized mansion down the road; Nyssi was on a date with Timik and they’d gone clubbing; and Tenuk was… somewhere. Apparently he was meeting with a new house … Read more
Tromos was quite surprised at the turnout for the Top House Fighters’ Dinner. This was an event that Tromos hosted almost at random, but normally, he’d not have that many guests. The Vohran house fighters never turned up for the dinner, they were admittedly too… hormonally addled to do so, they’d never had a Torr … Read more
“I want to know EVERYTHING you are about to do to me, Little Bitey!” Parts of that sentence bothered Kuta more than others. Mostly the fact that the yellow-plated Skyavok sitting on the bed in front of them had just called Kuta a nickname they had not heard in decades. “I, uh, take it that … Read more
Phovos had been waiting around for a while now, not really sure what she was waiting for. To the point that she wasn’t too surprised when Elkay Athanasion, the All-Ksa of the Skyavok, stepped through a shadow, then collapsed in the seat opposite her. “You look rough.” “I feel rough…” Elkay muttered as he rubbed … Read more
Skyavok folklore was mostly rather bland, what with the Skyavok having had to rebuild from scratch on multiple occasions, dragging themselves away from the cliffs of extinction. Most of their ancient history was lost to time, and what little they had was mostly oral and rarely written down. Just keeping themselves alive had been difficult, … Read more
“I broke it, I broke it, I broke it…” Teekay was somewhat lost, but it didn’t matter. As far as he was concerned, he was already dead. He should have run sooner. He shouldn’t have agreed to this trip. He should have just locked himself in his apartment, like he always did on diplomatic trips. … Read more
Political figures visiting the Great Dessaron Battle Arenas weren’t that uncommon, but normally the visitors were diplomats or lower rank politicians representing their governments. Today though, the Great Arenas were on high alert, because Elkay Athanasion, the All-Ksa, the leader of the Skyavok, had come by to visit. That being said, when it came to … Read more
“So, where the fuck have you been?” That sentence was spoken in unison by three different people. But while Kayel and Nyssi were being playful, Tenuk seemed genuinely annoyed. “Uh…” Retvik stuttered, not really sure where to start. “You said you were going out for LUNCH! You’ve been gone for two days!” Tenuk pointed accusingly … Read more
