Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Yisini clapped her hands together with glee as Kenon and Epani both sat down at the table. The room was very gaudy in its decorations, with false gold pillars in every corner and a fountain of wine in the room’s centre. The table was overflowing with food and drink, all cut or moulded into vaguely … Read more
“I want to go home.” Kairos stood in front of Itaviir’s desk, waiting for a response. It had taken the Time Drake a few hours to actually build the courage to come in here, but now that he’d said it, he had a mixture of both relief and dread running down his armoured spine. “Oh?” … Read more
“Ooh! Cake!” Galyn couldn’t help but smile a little at how happy the three Decaylings all seemed. They had just finished a brief quarantine period and, for once, everything was somewhat okay. To celebrate, Galyn had ordered a very nice vanilla cake, complete with a large array of confectionery and chocolates. But the cake was … Read more
Psiksi wasn’t sure what to say as the door opened, revealing the purple-scarfed Skyan behind it. A hundred different phrases raced through his head, to the point that he didn’t actually know what he said. “I’m sorry.” Kayess-En blinked, staring at the cute little yellow Skyan at the door. Kayess-En, Kass for short, used to … Read more
“What do you mean, quarantine?” Litvir grunted as he watched Vikalos tape plastic sheets to the doorway. “What do YOU mean?” Vikalos asked back. “We need to undergo quarantine for a bit.” “Why? What do you mean by quarantine?” Vikalos grunted, stopped what he was doing and tapped on his wristband. “Definition of Quarantine: A … Read more
Rethais was late for work. He was almost never late for work, but today was an exception. Thankfully, Rethais had called ahead of time, informing his colleagues that he needed to drop someone off at the nearby port, but, weirdly, he’d never gotten a response. As Rethais arrived at work, he realised why. There was … Read more
“Wow… that’s a huge offer…” Psiksi fidgeted awkwardly, not at all sure how to feel. Standing on the opposite side of the desk was Veeksiar, the grand Rethan Archivist, keeper of the Great Rethan Libraries. Standing next to him was Veeksiar, the Great Skyan Librarian. They were both aware they shared the same name and … Read more
“I feel like I have been repeatedly bashed over the head with a frying pan…” Relkir grunted as plates of food appeared in front of him. “Too much for my small Rethan brain to handle.” Only a few hours ago, Relkir and his fellow Divine Guardians had experienced a rather traumatic event, followed by a … Read more
“You guys seem tired…” Arkadin grunted as he wandered into the Decayling lounge area, carrying several large books. Really, the books weren’t that large, but since Arkadin was small, they looked outlandish on his person. “Were you two… at it… again?” “Yes, actually. You seem disappointed that we were. Do you not like it when … Read more
“Litvir, may I ask a personal question?” The shadowy Decayling sat up and glanced at Retvik. They were both essentially naked, having enjoyed a little private time together. Nothing too serious, just some mutual playing around. All things considered, this made Retvik’s question seemed rather weird. “You know we are lying here, naked and uncleaned, … Read more
Vikalos frowned as he monitored each little beep and click, checking a wide array of apparatus, while occasionally glancing out the window. Outside, there was nothing but darkness, although it felt darker than usual. Storms were erupting in said darkness, making the overall atmosphere unpleasant. Said atmosphere at least was going to improve a little, … Read more
“What do you mean, we have to stop here?” Kinisis screeched as she stomped into the main deck. “We can go anywhere and do anything, why the hell are we stopped here?” Normally Tahanhos was quite content with his duties. He had a nice, tidy schedule, great co-workers and all the amenities he could ever … Read more
“Good evening, everyone, and welcome to Traps and Thraki!” Vikalos wandered around the table, handing a small book and several sheets of paper to each of his five guests. He then circled around once more, gently placing a small, satin draw-strong bag in front of everyone. “Today, I am your Trapmaster, and I shall be … Read more
“Wow…” “What?” “WOW…” “What?” “WOW!!!” Retvik tutted, rolling his eyes as something crashed behind him. “Litvir, what is wrong with you?” Litvir pulled himself out of his chair and off the floor, having fallen back in shock. “I passed!” “You passed what?” “That insane time-based exam we took! I somehow passed!” “We all somehow passed.” … Read more
Why do I feel like this? My existence isn’t that bad right now, but I just… I just don’t want to be here. I feel utterly empty and miserable. As if I have no meaning what so ever, except to serve others. I’m exhausted all the time and barely even have the strength to do … Read more
