Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Retvik, I am so happy to hear your voice!” Gath’s deep, booming voice echoed down the crackly line. He seemed slightly out of breath, as if he had rushed off to answer the call. Retvik briefly wondered why, then decided to just talk. He had a lot of things on his mind and sitting in … Read more
“Hey Gath!” Psiksi waved as the front door opened up. He and Kass had arrived as soon as they could, after Tenuk had called them saying that Gath didn’t seem right. “What’s up?” The hulking Rethan grunted, looking not at all amused by this unexpected interruption. The two Skyans both peered past Gath and into … Read more
As he entered the massive, diamond-studded, gold-plated hall, Arkadin realised he had made a massive mistake. The floor was sticky, everything stank of an oddly sweet yet stale scent and most of the colossal room, spanning many tens of meters in all three directions, was filled with tails, scales and pleasurable moans. “I came at … Read more
“I didn’t even know your name.” The small, stone marker was dirtier than most. A small metal plate had been bolted to the front, but the name written on it was scuffed up, barely legible. Flowers had been placed somewhat recently, but they had wilted in the autumn sun, a lack of rain stopping them … Read more
All things considered, Teekay was coping surprisingly well. Sure, his home had been attacked and burnt down and he’d lost most of his belongings again, but he was currently in a rather nice 4-star hotel, eating a very fancy mushroom stew with a bottle of mead and his best friend, all combined within a nice, … Read more
“This seems to be a repeating occurrence.” The wreckage was still smouldering, despite both the rain and a pair of rescue vehicles having extinguished the flames that had been burning for hours. This had once been a pretty little Skyan cottage, but a combination of insanity and determination had driven a hovercraft through the front … Read more
Timik waved goodbye to the busty female Temthan. He had wanted to walk her home himself, but she was adamant that she only lived around the corner and that she wasn’t supposed to be out anyway, so people seeing her returning home with a date would have been too obvious. This had annoyed Timik more … Read more
Evening matches in the Dessaron Battle Arenas were always interesting, but this was a format Arkay had not seen before, clearly a new type of battle added recently. Everything was much darker than usual and situated in one of the old, forested arenas, meaning you could only see small sections of the battle. Not that … Read more
“Hmph.” “Is something wrong?” Kinisis’s sudden appearance nearly made Kenon react. He was not one to jump or otherwise be shocked by the abrupt appearances of others, but Kinisis had nearly managed to cause Kenon to, well, move. Kenon though was busy, working on one of his many plans and backup scenarios. “Define “wrong” for … Read more
Kenon had been hovering for a while, watching Kinisis work. She rarely left the safety of her inner sanctum and whenever she did, Kenon knew that strange things would happen. In this particular situation, Kinisis was busy setting up special chairs complete with different sets of leather straps on them, which was making Kenon particularly … Read more
“You called?” Arkadin wasn’t in a great mood. He had been having a good afternoon doing some actually useful stuff like repairing atmospheres and things like that, tasks that benefited mortals for a change. But no, just as he was starting to get to the fun stuff, like removing radioactive waste, someone had to summon … Read more
The bar was old and derelict, utterly abandoned to the point that even the bones of its old patrons had turned to dust. Nothing could have survived here, not without some sort of high tech gear, gear capable of creating and sustaining a breathable atmosphere and keeping the vast radioactive winds at bay. Yet somehow, … Read more
Yisini had been keeping to herself as much as she could. The other deities were annoyed at her, to the point that Arkadin had done an annoying thing to make her do extra work. Normally the Thantophor would just grunt whenever Yisini had pissed him off, but he’d knocked one of her labs down a … Read more
The Whenvern and the Panelix watched on as Arkadin played in the sand, building little sand sculptures complete with moats filled with sea water, before smashing it all up and starting again. Arkadin had been doing this for several hours now and was quite clearly enjoying himself, although both his fellow deities noticed that he … Read more
“You alright, Psiksi?” Things had been weird over the last few days. The strange hormone toxicity, which the local Ksithans had called “Love Clouds”, had finally passed over the city of Palaestra. There were still plenty of pockets where things were a bit hectic and horny, but most of the city was fine. “Not really…” … Read more
