Whispers of Another

Kinisis watched her son pace up and down as she picked away at a delicately iced slice of cake. He desperately wanted to leave Kinigi, Kinisis’s home, to go out and brutally murder some necromancers he had spotted in a nearby solae system, but Kinisis had insisted that he stay put. Why? Because it was … Read more

Safe in a Hospital Bed

“Someone really wants him dead.” “If they wanted him dead, he would be dead already.” The two R-Class officers were talking quietly among themselves, but Kayen could still hear them. He was lying in a hospital bed, on a saline drip. Everything was still blurry and painful. He couldn’t really remember much after the Astynom … Read more

Stolen Again

Kayen gasped for air as he skidded to a halt. He had no idea if they were still following. He didn’t dare look. He just needed a moment to catch his breath so he could keep on running. The edge of the city wasn’t far now. He could have flown, but his energy wings would … Read more

Jobless Woes

Kayen was pissed off. He needed to go back to work. He needed a job. An unemployed monthly wage was not enough for Kayen to continue his current lifestyle. He had to go back to work, he had no choice. The problem was, what job? On one hand, Kayen could retrain for a new job, … Read more

Burning Hypocrisy

The Thantophor wasted no time tearing his way through chains in a bid to attack his would-be aggressor. Shadowy arms of void energy lashed out at the Death Lord, only to be torn apart. Every obstacle Kenon put between him and the Thantophor only seemed to anger him further. “Arkadin, please…” “DO NOT… DO NOT … Read more

A Bid to Retire

“I want you to retire.” Elksia rolled over, rubbing her eyes. As her vision cleared up, she realised who she was talking to. “What? Oh, hi Arkay! What were you saying to me?” “I want you to retire and have kids, like you always wanted.” “Oh?” Elksia retracted her claws, then removed her woolly hat, … Read more

Nuclear Mist

They’d had to evacuate twenty square kilometres of land, effectively shutting down three villages around the power plant. No one was allowed in without hazmat equipment. No one was allowed out without being surgically scrubbed down and decontaminated. Not many beings were coming out though. Past the heavy, lead-filled barriers, there was little alive. Anything … Read more

Riverside Chat

The two Skyavok perched on the edge of the little cliff, watching the water crash along the river below them. One Skyavok was pale skinned with yellow armour, the other also in yellow armour but with far darker skin, almost pitch black. “Thanks for meeting with me, Psiksi…” Arkay whispered. They were alone, but the … Read more

Changing a Family’s Class

“I don’t want to!” Kayen was never someone to get angry and have tantrums like this, but today was different. He’d been doing his normal job of collecting taxes when some pisshole had decided to attack him. For doing his job. The same job he did day in and day out, every single day. “You … Read more

Thassallin’s Surprise

Arkadin hadn’t expected such a warm hello from someone who should have hated him. Thassallin cheerfully waved, before wrapping a pair of wings around him in an ugly but adorable hug. “You seem happy.” “You seem not happy!” Thassallin smiled through sharp teeth. “You seem somewhat miserable!” The old Time Lord dragged Arkadin into his … Read more

Prime Family Issues

“Really, Retvik?” Gath growled as his partner climbed out of bed. “Come on! Whoever that is can wait!” Retvik ignored Gath’s pleas and picked up his communicator, holding the headphone to his ear rather than clipping it on. “It’s Rethais.” “Fuck Rethais! Actually, don’t, fu-” Retvik left the room, much to Gath’s displeasure. He loved … Read more
