Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Nooooooooooooo!” Psiksi almost screamed as Kass pulled the blankets off him. After a brief struggle, Psiksi grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around him. “What?” “It’s COOOOOOOOOLD!” Kass shrugged, then pulled the blanket off him, only for Psiksi to grab the blanket and wrap himself up again. Knowing he wouldn’t win, Kass then got as … Read more
Psivee-En stood in the centre of the room. Around him were half the L-Class Ksa, all staring at him, all judging him. Apart from Kayel, they all saw him as a monster. “You want me to spill my guts, yes? To tell you everything?” “Not everything,” Veeyel growled. Out of all of them, Psivee-En considered … Read more
“Kayel, can I have a moment?” Veeyel hesitated by the entrance to Kayel’s little alcove. “Sure,” Kayel whispered. “Come in.” His voice still wasn’t great, but at least Kayel was audible now. He was particularly glad, otherwise he’d have to push back the date of their… special ritual. “What do you want to talk about?” … Read more
“What the fuck have you done to yourself?” Death gasped, dropping her cup of tea all over the place. Arkay blinked, all confused. He’d given himself a large pair of horns, an even larger pair of demonic, scaly wings, huge claws and big spikes on his tail. Otherwise he looked like his normal Vethic self. … Read more
“I think we’ve got it.” “We’ve got what?” Veeyel hadn’t been paying attention. He was busy reading a book about low energy, low level healing spells, trying to find information on repairing mobility problems in limbs. So far, he’d found nothing, but he was determined to find at least a spell to help numb his … Read more
Kass stood by the doorway, holding a large tub of milky yogurt mixed with shredded cucumber – a dip called tsatsiki. In the bathroom behind him, Psiksi had been throwing up violently. He had been doing so for the last half an hour, and Kass had no idea what had set him off. Looking back … Read more
“I want to make a dragon…” Death mused to herself as she sat in her deckchair, watching the waters of Kinigi flow by. The beach was mostly empty apart from a handful of higher Veth, patrolling the pink sands and defending it from Deitics and anything else that might have threatened the cycle of life … Read more
“Where am I?” “I will explain soon. You have questions, as do I. But I wish for you to answer my questions first. You have been asleep for a long time.” “How long?” “We wish to try and figure that out. Do you recognise me?” “Uh… My eyes are a bit… blurry… But… I see … Read more
Kass woke up to the scent of something incredibly sweet. It was most likely coming from the kitchen, but Kass hadn’t bought anything sweet in a while. He was supposed to have been on a brief, sugar and alcohol free diet after he got a little too drunk the week before. Of course, because this … Read more
Ever since Psiksi had moved in with Kass, he’d found it harder and harder to wake up early. There was no need to get up at 5am like he used to, but getting up at 7:30 had made him complacent. He would still get up if he needed to, but these days, Psiksi was missing … Read more
Elkay was done for the day. He was exhausted. Between a diplomatic crisis between the Cassids and the Banikans and their own troubles with the former High General, Elkay had long ago realised that maybe he just needed to finish up, take a few hours off and come back fresh tomorrow. As the High General … Read more
“How many?” “Forty, Feyar.” “Any deaths?” “No. Just injuries.” “And the target?” “That… is rather hard to explain…” Normally, Deyar would have been thankful for still being an active Ksa. He considered his duties as a member of the Arbiters to be one of the most important jobs around. So when Feyar sent the entire … Read more
Elkay stood by the window, looking over the city of Thre-Vretania. The weather had been weird lately, blowing dust across the city’s streets, with heavy cloud ruining the strength of their solar panels. Elkay’s office was just as dusty as the streets below, with the high winds lifting it easily above the ground. Part of … Read more
Everything had been laid out perfectly. Across the ground, a star shape had been made across the ground, using a mixture of sand and crushed crystals. In the middle was a small bowl, containing various hard-to-get ingredients, and five vials of blood. The Rethans stood silently around the edge of the dusted star, while Kayel … Read more
“Did you get the stuff?” Zitel bounced up and down as Ksiel and Kayel climbed into the tree house. “Did you find what you were looking for?” “I don’t know yet!” Ksiel snapped. “We need to take this to the local Thanatian hospital, get it all checked out and properly identified. Some of the stuff … Read more
