Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Death yawned and stretched, then reached for a glass of something to drink. But as she did so, she realised something was missing. Her new little friend who had been chained up next to her was missing. “Where the fuck have you gone?” Death tutted. She got up and headed downstairs, only to be pleasantly … Read more
Death clapped her hands as a swarm of Veth ran around, cleaning up the coastlines of Kinigi. “Move your asses, kids! I want this place looking like a fancy thropy beach resort!” Several Veth sighed as they removed piles of skulls by quietly swallowing them, or taking them inland to bury if they were too … Read more
“Relinquish your control and disperse your followers now!” Zoi screamed down the phone line. Behind her, the rest of the Sixteen, the current rulers of the Thanatians, listened on anxiously. “Really?” the voice laughed. “That’s rather… hypocritical of you. All I’m doing here is leading a peaceful takeover of a nation you have so clearly … Read more
“Good evening…” “Phovos. You can just call me Phovos.” High General Elkay waited for the Raptor to sit down, before sitting down himself. “… Phovos. It is a pleasure to meet you again.” Phovos smiled. “You were going to call me Ser. I could see it. Shame you don’t have a feminine version of the … Read more
Tenuk couldn’t help but look as Death paraded down the stairs, completely naked, with not even her fancy shadows covering her. Death bounced up and down towards Tenuk, circling him before disappearing in a cloud of smoke and reappearing behind the Kronoreth, this time with her shadows on. “Uh…” Tenuk opened and closed his mouth, … Read more
The black door, with its gold frame, appeared in front of Vahlok. He had just finished killing a Whenvern High Priest and made it look like an accident, and now he had to report back to Stasis. Two taps on the door. Then two more. After a fifth tap, the door creaked open, revealing a … Read more
The Veth all gathered around Kinisis, all waiting for their regular weekly meeting. This meeting had been delayed because Kinisis had been working on a new Veth to join their ranks, but that didn’t bother Death’s humble servants. “So, my wonderful little loyal buddies!” Kinisis grinned as she threw out snacks and treats, which the … Read more
“Gaaaaaath..?” Retvik shouted and instantly regretted it. He had a horrible headache and was just making it worse. He had tried going for a walk to calm his aching skull, but his trip outside had only left him feeling awkward and confused. “What?” Gath shouted from the kitchen, where he was making a standard hangover … Read more
The only decent thing about this Vrekan bar on the outskirts of Palaestra was that it was open all night. That was the only reason Retvik was there. Everything else about the bar, from the décor to the service to the drinks was mediocre at best. But they had a large supply of mead and … Read more
“Wow, five days. Five days, you ran and hid from the Veth I designated to pick you up and bring you here. Well, to you it felt like months, because there’s no real time here. But it was really just five days. Still, five whole days. Five days, you somehow eluded capture. I’m honestly impressed. … Read more

Ver was surprised when the little Rethan secretary told him the meeting was to be held outside. A second Rethan with feathery wings led the Vrekan King and his soldiers back downstairs, through a side passage, which then opened up into a large courtyard, filled with silver statues. Each statue stood on a black marble … Read more
“Thirteen counts of murder. Thirty counts of attempted murder. Fifty counts of grievous bodily harm. Pretty impressive. Especially for self defence…” The Temthan prosecutor walked up and down, taunting the prisoner with his ability to stand. For everyone’s safety, the prisoner had been tied to their chair, unable to move anything apart from their jaw. … Read more
Two gargantuan platforms flashed into appearance. To the simple beings on the planets below, they looked like small discs, blotting out sections of the sun. Up close, they were round, intricately decorated pads, each one with a single being standing in the middle of them. One being was a draconic creature, made of silver, with … Read more
Arkay wished he knew how to read maps better. His bright idea of walking to the Tsainiz Restaurant would have been much easier if Arkay had accurately judged the distance. He knew where he was going, it was just that his short, stubby legs were groaning from the walking he had done. Or maybe it … Read more
