Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Kenon watched as the little deities scuttled around, busying themselves with their plans to kill their own father. Really, Kenon wasn’t too surprised. He had treated them as pathetic little insects, because that was what they were. Dumb critters too insecure to properly use their godly powers. Unfortunately for Kenon and in spite of their … Read more
“I thought Voidborns were immortal?” Yisini asked as she coiled herself around Epani, comforting herself from thoughts she didn’t like. “We can’t just… go and kill him?” Epani put one of her fins over Yisini, patting her gently. “They are not immortal, dear sister.” “They seem pretty immortal…” The four deities had gathered in one … Read more
Kairos crossed his wings as he watched Arkadin sip some sort of sugary drink. They’d both visited a little Portalian shopping mall and bought a few little trinkets, confusing and stunning the poor cashiers who had to deal with them. The Whenvern’s purchases included precious gems and expensive furs, while Arkadin had gone and bought … Read more
Void’s Edge was a massive perimeter around this part of the universe, a gargantuan crystal wall that curved inwards, protecting the universe from nasty, hungry critters that wanted to murder everything. But most mortals did not see Void’s Edge that way. To them, it was nothing but darkness and empty space, a paradox of a … Read more
“I’m sorry.” Teekay opened one eye. At the end of his hospital bed was a familiar face, but not one he wanted to see. “Is it my time?” “What?” Teekay sighed. “Is it my time to die?” “Uh, no…” The Thantophor seemed different. They had seemed different every time Teekay had encountered them. “So why … Read more
“They all got drunk and fell asleep again, didn’t they?” Retvik had been standing in the garden on his own. The sudden voice was both unexpected but at the same time… he had expected a visitor. “Yes they did. It is a Macromera tradition now. Come over to Gath and Retvik’s home, stuff one’s face … Read more
Gath was so pleased when everyone arrived in one big group. Clearly Tenuk had gone around in his fancy bus and picked everyone up so they could all have a drink. They arrived at the door, smiling and carrying gifts, and Gath and Retvik both beckoned them in. The house, the building that was once … Read more
“That is an awful lot of gammon, dear…” Retvik gasped as he entered the kitchen where his partner Gath was cooking. Gath had a massive smile on his face, looking way too proud at the massive lump of smoked flesh he had been cooking all day. “It is! Why do we only have gammon in … Read more
“This isn’t a date.” Arkadin stared off, his eyes drawn to the flashes of lightning. Kayen wasn’t sure whether the Thantophor had heard his statement. “This isn’t a date. Not planned. This is just you and I meeting to discuss when we plan to have our date. Dates.” The Thantophor was still staring at the … Read more
Arkadin growled menacingly as he ripped the blanket off his body and threw it in the face of an intruder. He quickly calmed down though when he realised who it was. “What the fuck are you doing in here?” Kairos pulled the blanket away, pausing to feel how soft and snuggly it was. “Uh…” “How … Read more
“You should have come to me sooner…” General Kaldoran tutted as he pulled his face mask down. “That wound is rather deep. A few more millimetres and it could have punctured an organ or two.” “I would have but I was rather busy reassuring the Rethavok that their leaders were safe and that a potential … Read more
Sirens blared as Rethan soldiers clashed with the nameless entities throughout the Parliamentary Tower. Strange, black creatures had swiftly broken in via a portal on the building’s roof, attacking from above, armed with a myriad of blades. Already, both sides had plenty of casualties. While the shadowy beings had caught the Rethan Elite off guard, … Read more
Epani had just finished terraforming a planet and was now sitting idly in the planet’s orbit, toying with its newly formed moon, while Yisini inspected her new masterpiece. “Sister?” “Mhm?” the Panelix wasn’t paying much attention to what Yisini was doing. She was probably testing the temperatures of oceans, working out where to dump collections … Read more
“What was all that about?” Arkadin watched as Psiksi wobbled over. He’d been sitting on a bench, staring out into the void. There were no stars in the night sky, only that horrible, empty darkness, the hollow that reminded the Thantophor of his uncaring ‘father’, the Voidborn. “What was what about?” Psiksi wobbled some more, … Read more
“You actually look quite good as a Skyavok…” Kairos rolled his eyes as Arkadin put a cardboard skull on his head, painted white and decorated with antlers made of twigs and little flowers. When the Thantophor had invited him round to go and kill some people, this was not what Kairos expected. “I literally just … Read more
