Tale: Doctor Review

Elenar was just about to finish her shift when she felt someone tug on her arm. Through her sleepiness, it took her a while to realise who wanted her attention. “General Kaldoran, ser! I…was not expecting you!” Kaldoran smiled calmly and started walking down the corridor, beckoning Elenar to join him. “I apologise for making … Read more

Tale: Life-Sucking Truth

“You’ve finally come down here yourself. Rather than sending my own little Ksa against me.” It was nearly pitch black. If it wasn’t for Elkay’s enhanced senses, the one good thing he got from his mother, he would have been completely blind. Occasionally something would flash by, the glowing eyes of one of the N-Class … Read more

Tale: Resignation?

“Sit down, please.” Thitavee-En was visibly shaking. He’d had Itakay, the Vice General’s secretary, hand him the reports he wrote, but less than half an hour later, there he was, in the Vice General’s office. The knots in Thitavee’s stomach made it hard to concentrate on anything, let alone the angry Rethan in front of … Read more

Tale: New Recovery

“You’re finally awake!” Arkay blinked a couple of times. He was sitting on a large, luxurious sofa, with an IV drip attached to his arm. Standing in front of him was… “By the Light! You’re Veeyel! The deputy leader of the legendary L-Class Ksa!” Arkay exclaimed. He flustered slightly, quickly wiping the drool from his … Read more

Tale: Midnight

Arkay missed the sound of his heart monitor. During the long, dark nights, it was often the only thing he could hear that didn’t sound ominous or worrying. Since his heart monitor had been replaced with a silent, wireless one around his wrist, Arkay was sure he was either hearing things, or something was stalking … Read more

Tale: Card Games

“So where HAVE you been lately?” Retvik asked as he peered over his cards. Phovos tutted, reorganized her cards then tutted again. “Long story. Got any sixes, Gath?” “Go fish,” Gath smiled. “We have plenty of time to listen. Got any sevens, Lokmah?” Lokmah squirmed a little, feeling very uncomfortable as he handed over a … Read more

Tale: General’s Location

“Thitavee-En, can I have a word please?” “Of course!” The N-Class Ksa flapped his elegant wings as he followed Elkay into his office. “How can I be of assistance, Vice General?” Elkay sat down behind his desk. He preferred his humble office compared to that of the High General’s, far less extravagant, more made for … Read more

Tale: Hospital Transfer

“What’s going on?” Arkay dozily asked as several nurses unclipped the wheels on the bottom of his bed and began to wheel him and his IV drip away. General Kaldoran appeared, with a handful of Rethan soldiers by his side. “We’re moving you to a different facility. Nothing to worry about.” Arkay thought for a … Read more

Tale: Bad Dreams

“What are you doing here?” Gath growled as he peered through the open door. “You shouldn’t be here.” Retvik sniffed. “I miss you. I know I said I’d give you time but…” With a sigh, Gath silently let Retvik in and closed the door behind him. He’d been staying at Kass’s place for the last … Read more

Tale: Letters in Crayon

Tell us what happened, they keep on saying. We need to know. Of course you do. I’m not. I can’t say. They try to help and they make me feel worse. They don’t understand. No one does. It’s a stupidly unique situation no other Rethan has experienced. They all want to know. To make me … Read more

Tale: Letter to Gath

Dearest, beloved Gath, You haven’t spoken to me since the fire. I am worried sick about you. I have tried calling you and messaging you and all sorts. When I requested to be wheeled to your side in my bed, I was refused. You clearly don’t want to speak to me. I don’t know why. … Read more

Tale: The Immortal Playground

“I’m glad you came here to meet me, little Kronospast!” Death span round in her particularly evil chair. She was wearing nothing but a shadowy mass of tentacles that just about covered her private parts. “Last time, the first time you saw me was just after that nasty thing with Stasis. Have you found your … Read more

Tale: Burning

There was smoke in the air. Kass slammed his foot on the accelerator. The smoke was thick and heavy, and it only seemed to be getting thicker the further north he went. Ahead was his destination, exactly where the smoke was. The hovercraft skidded to the right, narrowly avoiding the flaming trees blocking half the road. Only … Read more

Tale: Broken Confidentiality

“Empress! What are you doing here? You have your own team of personal medical staff to attend to your every need, what do you need from me?” “Ah, little Timn, you know one such as I is always looking for more. Always, eternally hungry, you know.” Elisia sat seductively on the leather couch normally intended … Read more
