Screams and Claws

“I SAID NO!” Kalis braced himself as he was blown out of the room, into the hallway and through the door opposite. He had clearly struck a nerve, but he didn’t think Arkay would lash out like that. With a snarl, and ignoring the fact that he had just accidentally broken into Litvir’s room, Kalis … Read more

Decision to Head Back

“Wait, Death’s Heaven is real?” Galyn nodded. “It is.” “Is it… as the name suggests, heaven?” “Yes.” Kalis’s eyes widened. He had come to speak to this ancient Decay Lord about the worrying thoughts in the back of his mind. Years of abuse and programming that Kalis was worried could make him suddenly snap. But … Read more

Bedroom Offer

“Hey, you busy?” Arkay grunted as he wiped spit from his mouth, then reached for a towel to clean his face. That was the third time he had thrown up horrible gold ooze and now he was getting a little concerned. “Arkay?” Standing by the door was Kalis, the little half-Life Goddess that had saved … Read more

Boredom at the Bottom

“Ugh, I wish they’d stop already…” Tahvra tutted as he handed the controller to Teekay. “They’ve been at it for hours.” Teekay and Tahnahos both peered over the back of the sofa, looking for what Tahvra was referring to. Behind them, Relkir and Phovos were sparring, while Akah was acting as a referee. But really, … Read more

One-Armed Offer

Galyn’s eyes clicked open, scanning the environment before Galyn himself was properly conscious. Once he was certain it was safe to move, Galyn slowly sat upright, trying to work out where he was and what had happened. Immediately though, one word struck his mind: Failure. The Voidborn entity had proven to be too strong. Not … Read more

Life Versus Void

Kallus cowered in the corner, hiding behind piles of destroyed cargo, terrified and completely unsure what to do. What had been the first peaceful moment he’d had in decades had abruptly turned into carnage, as his Master had stumbled across him and his target both just… talking to each other. As soon as Lord Theocydes … Read more

Eternal Threats

Weapons clashed against each other, armour scraped across armour and blood and sweat had been exchanged for a little too long. Throughout this entire fight though, Retvik was pretty sure that Rethanius hadn’t stopped shouting once. No matter how many times the two warriors crashed into each other, no matter how hard they struck each … Read more

Mindfields and Molten Memories

Litvir shook his head, desperately trying to clear the fog from his mind. He concentrated on the floor beneath him, the weird, golden indentations on each floor tile. In the sudden conflict, Litvir must have stumbled out of the cargo bay and onto… something. He wasn’t sure, and his mind was still clouded. Really, Litvir … Read more

Not-Kallus

Kallus scrambled his way through the narrow ship, not exactly sure what he was looking for. His master had told him to kill a Life Goddess, so that was what Kallus was going to do, but he was otherwise low on instructions. What did this Life Goddess look like? He didn’t really know. He was … Read more

Twinned Conflict

“We are gonna board them?” Rethanius hissed as he tugged on the chains around Kallus’s neck. “Of course we are! What are you, dumb?” “But why?” Kallus was confused. Whenever they had stopped Mortemnan ships in the past, they’d just gone and blown them up straight away. If anyone ever survived, only then would Kallus … Read more

Mirrored Views

“Uh, Galyn? Need some help here!” Arkay hurriedly hit the massive emergency stop button up above him, but to his dismay, the ship hadn’t quite slowed down as much as he’d hoped. There was still a lot of forward momentum, moving towards the massive silver pyramid that had just appeared in front of them. Thankfully, … Read more

Pain in the Mind

“It’s all in my head…” Arkay was definitely feeling a bit better, but not as well as he’d hoped. The medics, the curious, foreign beings that they were, had found nothing wrong with him. Galyn had just somewhat left Arkay at the little hospital, in the care of the mechanical nurses and doctors, citing “sanitation … Read more

Six Guards

“Oh! I love them!” Epani clapped her fins together with glee as Kinisis presented the six colossal beings, instructing each one of them to stand in a certain position. As they each stepped on specially designed platforms, a massive, diamond-laced steel door opened up, revealing the insides of the universe. “I’m glad! These little monsters … Read more

Rewarding Job

“Oh.” The Allmaker disappeared, leaving the six Guardians all looking rather disorientated. They’d been taken to a small castle on the southern pole of the small universe, been told to keep guard and keep look out, and then quite obviously abandoned. They could have left this tiny outpost if they needed to, but the only … Read more

Night Aches

“Hey…” Arkay peered into the cockpit, where Galyn had settled down, switching between keeping an eye on autopilot, watching amusing videos, and dozing off. There was nothing to do, so Galyn was taking advantage of the peace and quiet to make some for himself. “You are up late…” Galyn  grunted, spotting Arkay’s shadow. “Can you … Read more
