Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Psiksi felt somewhat hopeless as he sat on the cold, stone bench and watched the world go by. Lots of Thanatians and Vrekans, with the odd Rethan scattered among them, wandering through a holiday marketplace. Winter was always a time for holidays, as the more ancient races were preparing for the return of warm weather. … Read more
It had been a quiet day at the main government offices of Palaestra. Quiet enough that Retvik and Gath were able to have lunch together in peace. It turned out that, because of the recent bad weather across Portalia, a lot of the local Thanatians had decided to hibernate for the winter. That meant that, … Read more
“You haven’t touched your drink…” King Ver smiled as he walked around the furniture, running his hands across the silky satin fabric, before throwing himself into the large sofa in front of where the High General was sitting. “I am thinking of giving my Vrekan representatives a little pay raise. I think they deserve it. … Read more
Kinisis was waiting for Arkay as he returned from his latest job. She was actually wearing something for a change. A ribbon-like wrap around a pair of massive breasts that tied up behind her neck, and a flowing, knee-length skirt. She seemed happy, but not in a malicious way. Genuinely happy. “Hi…” Arkay muttered. “What’s… … Read more
“Hey Arksi!” Verlais’s voice echoed down the line. There was always something about Vrekan telecommunication that made their voices sound like that. “How you doing?” Arksi grunted. He had been in the middle of washing the dishes and wasn’t in the mood for any more interruptions. One dish in particular, everything had been baked on, … Read more
“ARKSI!” The Keeper’s voice echoed through the Great Library, bouncing around corridors lined with books and almost sacred texts. “GET YOUR LITTLE BLUE AND YELLOW ARSE IN HERE RIGHT NOW!” Arksi had been busy organizing a stack of medical papers relating to a plague that had flared up a year or so ago. He calmly … Read more
Rethais couldn’t decide between being shocked or being insulted. The rest of the Circle had settled on shocked AND insulted. Their very own High General, a vok of sense and reason, had just stood in front of them and claimed he wasn’t 100% Rethan but in fact half ‘corrupted’, whatever that meant. “Excuse me, Elkay…” … Read more
“It is a poor move to barge into the office of a ruler without asking permission. Or at the very least making an appointment…” The High General of the Retha didn’t even look up from whatever it was he was doing. It was almost as if he didn’t care that Stasis, the Lord of the … Read more
“Did you have a good meeting with the Vrekan king?” Rethias asked as the High General waltzed in and threw himself into one of the oversized sofas. “Yes, I did actually,” Elkay smiled. “Perhaps a little too much. It is rude to reject alcohol if a Vrekan offers it to you, yes?” Rethais tutted. “Are … Read more
“Are you sure this room is secure?” the High General asked as he and the King of the Vrekans both sat down. “I do not have many fears, but I am not particularly fond of large, glass windows.” “It is all secure,” the King of the Vrekans tried to reassure the High General. “Quintuple checked. … Read more
“Are you the Dark One?” The little creature pulled a blanket around itself. Underneath the sound of beeping security sensors and the crackle of monitors all switching off, their teeth were chattering. She was cold and scared. A small, furry kid, her first antlers not grown in yet. Fur was missing from around her arm … Read more
“You are… not a Thanatian…” Laina shook her scaly, snake-like tail, sitting herself upright on the sofa as the leader of this strange race approached her. She was both upset and amused with the fact that this being did not know what she was. It was to be expected from a backwater collection of solar … Read more
Quick Warning – lots of images ahead. Turn off mobile data if you’re using it! The images aren’t that big, but if you’ve got a small amount of data like me (I only have 100MB a month), you’ll want to save it. So I decided to give Inktober a go. One picture a day for … Read more
Lykins. Horrible, furry, dog-like creatures, an army of whores, wenches and monsters that stampeded these lands, ruled by an iron-fisted king who spent his time wasting his underlings’ hard earned money on food, wine and sex. A nasty, cruel leader who deserved to die. At least, that was what Kinisis had told Arkay. Of course, … Read more
“Are you alright?” Something tapped Veeyel on the shoulder. He rubbed his eyes then slowly sat up. His back ached. He’d fallen asleep on a bench and somehow everything on his body was still intact. Then again, Veeyel didn’t have anything on him worth stealing. “You don’t look alright.” Veeyel finally looked up. Standing over … Read more
