Tale: Date with a Ksa

“I can tell you don’t get out much!” Enyan grinned as Itakay cautiously sat down at the tiny little table. He’d watched every single movement as Itakay had entered, amused by the way Itakay inspected everyone present and checked every exit, all in the space of a couple of seconds. His mind was still on … Read more

Tale: Holiday Phone Call

The communicator buzzed three, four, five times before Elkay finally picked up. “You know I have been on holiday for no more than twelve hours, yes?” the Vice General growled down the voice piece. “Twelve hours. Not even a full day. Actually, when you include flights and travel time, it’s not even half a day. … Read more

Tale: Taking A Break

“Are you finally taking a break, ser?” Teekay asked as he stood guard, watching uneasily as the Vice General packed a suit case. “A short one, yes. How many times have I asked you to call me Elkay?

Tale: Latches

“Xentress! Xentress! Wake up!” Lenik rushed over to the small, cushion-filled chamber, narrowly avoiding a low-hanging pip he could have easily smashed his head on. He slammed his fist on the door a few times, rudely awakening the sleeping beauty inside. “XENTRESS!” The door unlocked slowly. There must have been four or five locks on … Read more

Tale: Team Chat

“So he’s not coming back?” “As far as I am aware, no.” Kass was struggling to explain the situation to his team mates around their team’s kitchen area.

Tale: Doctor Visit

Arkai twiddled her thumbs as she sat in the dark room, the only light being a rather pathetic light bulb hanging a great height above her. Between her and the lone door into the room was a basic table and a seat for someone else. The chairs were basic plastic stools, as unloved as everything … Read more

Tale: Family Gathering

“You said you’d be home today!” “I’m sorry, Elksia. Something came up.” “What thing?” “Family stuff. I’ll call you when I can.” Tenuk closed the call on his communicator and turned to face the ten beings who had just teleported him from the space port to where he was now. A large, echoing room, with … Read more

Tale: Returning Home

“Thank you, kid…” “No worries, Retvik. Least I can do considering…” “Don’t.” “Sorry.” Retvik waved as Kass dropped him off on the little path to his partner’s home. Kass revved the engine of his little hovercraft, wished Retvik well then sped off into the distance, probably back to his own little house on the other … Read more

Tale: Starting Search

“I’m going to find him.” Retvik glared at Tenuk. The Ethran-type had been gone for five hours, and now he’d reappeared in an insane getup, spouting nonsense. “You’re going to do what?” “I will find Arkay and bring him back.” Tenuk stood in the doorway, wearing a really bad-ass set of armour and carrying a … Read more

Tale: Clear Up

“You rebuilding the city on your own?” Kass yawned as he watched Retvik moving rubble with his bare hands. “Like, completely?” Retvik stopped what he was doing and wiped the sweat from his face. He had managed to get a lot done in the last few hours. Most of the roads were clear now. The … Read more

Tale: Reinstatement

The ship was being refuelled and prepared for take off. As per usual instructions, while his Ksa did all the required checks on the ship, Vice General Elkay watched from a distance, flanked by Veekay, Teekay, Enkay and Geekay, his ‘originals’ as he often called them. Finally, Arkay and Deekay appeared, informing the Vice General … Read more
