MK4 Miscellaneous

Panic flashed in Phovos’s eyes as she woke up on an unfamiliar landscape. Nothing but charred, scorched earth and rubble, hanging under a black, smoky sky. There was very little air, only just enough for Phovos’s adaptive lungs to keep her going. Any other Ksithan would have suffocated a long time ago. But as Phovos … Read more

“General Elkay.” “High General Rethais.” Rethais took a deep breath. “I wish it had been under better circumstances. An election win after your retirement, rather than divine intervention. I assume it is divine intervention which prohibits you from returning?” “Even if I could return, I would not be able to serve. Not until the next … Read more

Elkay hesitated as he knocked on the door. The twelve of them had rolled dice to see who would go in and of course Elkay had rolled a one. So there he was, holding a tray of drinks, knocking on the literal door of death. “Fuck off.” That wasn’t the response Elkay expected. The reason … Read more

“What are you two snickering about?” Retvik asked as he entered the dormitory, taking off the heavier parts of his armour. He had just finished his guard duty shift and was looking forward to a bit of piece and quiet but Tenuk and Kohra were both taking up the main living space, giggling at each … Read more

“Are we doing this every night now?” Elkay asked as he gently closed the door of his hotel room. The room was much larger than Elkay was used to, but as always, King Ver had insisted that he get only the biggest and best rooms while he stayed in Vrekan territories. This room wasn’t a … Read more

Elkay did not feel comfortable right now. Sure, things had been turning around, the lower generals did not seem as angry as they were and several small budget cuts had helped to balance the budget a little, but Elkay had experienced something new and he wasn’t quite sure whether he wanted to follow that experience … Read more

Yisini slithered her way across the grounds, slipping past mechanical automatons and lazer-based defences, edging her way towards Kinisis’s inner sanctum. She didn’t need to sneak her way in, there was a perfectly good front door she could use, but Yisini enjoyed the subterfuge. It made a pleasant change to doing normal things. “What are … Read more

The High General of the Retha had not had a good day. The lower generals were not happy with the idea of “wasting” nearly a quarter of a billion evra trying to protect the planet of Kolasi, only to have a massive meteor suddenly disappear. No one could have predicted that the planet would be … Read more

The meteor had been predicted to hit the largest city of Kolasi, the city of Hel, where 50% of the planet’s population lived. Many beings had tried to get off the planet, or at the very least away from the city, but due to its mostly poor populace, only the rich managed to escape at … Read more

“Didn’t think you’d show up…” Phovos muttered as she idly stirred her spoon in her cup. Kairos wasn’t sure how to respond to that. He looked a little dishevelled, halfway between his normal godly self and the form he normally used whenever he met Phovos. “What are you drinking?” “Gravy stock.” The Whenvern glanced around … Read more

Arkadin took a long, deep breath as he waited for Epani and Yisini to arrive. Kairos had gone and arranged a meeting right in the middle of Arkadin’s work, and the Death Lord was beginning to think that these constant interruptions were more than just concidence. What made matters worse though was that Kairos wanted … Read more

“Hello, Arkadin, how are you?” The Thantophor was busy working as always. Today, he was cleaning up the remains of a collision between a planet and a very large asteroid. Clouds of volcanic ash had smothered the planet, slowly suffocating any primitive life that hadn’t been killed in the initial blast. But right now, Arkadin … Read more

The two deities rested happily on the beach, enjoying the warm rays from the freshly risen sun. Kairos stretched his wings out wide, keeping them out of the calm, icy water, while Yisini was lying across almost the whole beach, her tail drifting off across the sea and disappearing into the depths. Nearby, herds of … Read more

The great Dessaron Arena of Palaestra was closed off today. A public holiday meant that everyone aside from essential staff had the day off, which meant that there were no lives shows either. If anyone wanted to satisfy their artificial blood lust, they would just have to watch old arena reruns. But the main arena … Read more

It had taken a few hours for Kairos to finally locate Arkadin. Considering he found Arkadin at all, that suggested that the Thantophor wasn’t hiding and didn’t mind being found. Kairos had found him leaning on a balcony, standing in the rain. The building behind him had been filled with Rethavok, slowly getting intoxicated with … Read more
