Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Korak, are you there?” Korak seemed to be ignoring everyone lately. She was supposed to be in charge of the Kalsa Warrior nest of Kolasi, but these days, she spent most of her time with her friend Talok. Talok didn’t mind, he was a Varga, a feral, adult male Vohra, he just liked the attention. … Read more
“So you’re, uh, unstable, huh?” Teekay asked as he sat down next to Envee. “That is none of your concern.” “Well, it is since your brother told me to speak to you. Similar problems.” Envee looked up, confused. “You hear voices?” “Sometimes,” Teekay replied. “They’ve said awful things to me. There’s… a reason I’m no … Read more
“Why am I shaking?” Thitavee asked himself as he waited outside the glass-roofed office. All around him were books, specimens and all sorts of unusual items. Mostly books though. Occasionally, he’d see a Θ–Class Ksa wander by. Some would wave, some would look confused. Some of them, Thitavee wondered if they were the same person, … Read more
There were cameras everywhere, but no other beings apart from Rethais, Kayelar and the moderator, a senior Rethan by the name of Dyphon Kalliergos. Dyphon had been moderating in High and Vice General Candidate debates for about eighty years now, and he was still going strong. A Rethan who relished his job and wished he … Read more
“Esvee.” “Is there a problem?” “I need… I need a word. Yes, a word.” “What is the problem?” “I…” “Envee, speak.” “The voices. They’re back.” “All of them?” “Yes.” “Including…” “Yes. Especially that… I’m sorry…” “Have you been taking your medication?” “Yes. Always.” “Three times a day?” “Yes! OF COURSE… Sorry.” “How long?” “Most of … Read more
“I should have visited more…” “You were busy, ser.” Elkay marched down the rows of small tents and camp sites. By his side was Captain Vallas, one of the two captains of the 471st Legion. The legion was currently out on a large training exercise, camping in a large field north of the tattered parts … Read more
Kazix: Good evening everyone! Today is a special occasion. We have been invited to do our interview at the current HQ of candidates Elkay Theanon and Rethais Rethianos. We are going to be interviewing Elkay Theanon himself, getting to know him a bit better before the Rethan Election campaign officially starts on the 1st of … Read more
Rethais sat at the back of the bar, waiting patiently. There was no one else around apart from the barkeeper. His small team of Ksa and bodyguards were all outside, keeping everyone else away. Apart from one person. One person who had just been allowed in. “I apologise for being late, my friend.” Friend. That … Read more
Thanatos always considered himself to be a tall, powerful and all-round large Thanatian, but even he was dwarfed by the size of the Banikan king he was secretly meeting. This Banikan, Lek’Ril of the united Water Tribes, was so huge, Thanatos did not understand how he was capable of standing. Five and a half metres … Read more
“So let me get this straight,” Tenuk growled as he stomped across the room. “You gave up your own soul to die in a short amount of time and serve Death for eternity, in exchange for a bunch of people you didn’t even know and a guy who is immortal?” Arkay blinked, unsure how to … Read more
“That’s a fuckton of cookies…” Gath watched as the six tiny Rethans ran around the kitchen, all neatly organized in their pursuit to bake lots of cookies. He had no idea why the hell they were baking cookies, but it amused the giant Ethran-type, seeing them acting all busy. “It’s actually only about a hundred … Read more
“You finally decided to accept my invitation,” Photeianos smiled, a crooked, mean-spirited smile he normally saved for enemies. Elkay and Rethais had both seen this smile before, but this was the first time they were the enemies, not someone else. “We have been very busy, Photianos,” Elkay tutted. “What do you want? We have work … Read more
“Please, let me in!” Thitavee-En bashed on the tattered, wooden door. He considered tearing it off its hinges and forcing his way in, but as he was about to do so, the door swing upon. Standing in the doorway was Veyar, looking rather bemused. “What.” “Please, I need somewhere safe to go! My master threatened … Read more
There was an awkwardly large amount of disdain in the room, mostly coming from the body of Rethans standing in the centre of it. They had lots of questions and they wanted answers. Hence why they were all waiting for Elkay to walk in and start talking. Finally, the candidate for High General entered the … Read more
They weren’t breathing. Lying on the ground, slumped over, the light flittering and fading from their eyes. Were they dead or frozen in time? There was no way to tell. Arkay feared that it was the former. He’d put them all in the standard recovery position. He’d held their wrists, checking for a pulse. He’d … Read more
