“Are you sure the others do not mind me staying here?” Gath asked for the third time as he dumped all his belongings on the floor.

Tale: Doctor Review

Elenar was just about to finish her shift when she felt someone tug on her arm. Through her sleepiness, it took her a while to realise who wanted her attention. “General Kaldoran, ser! I…was not expecting you!” Kaldoran smiled calmly and started walking down the corridor, beckoning Elenar to join him. “I apologise for making … Read more

Tale: Life-Sucking Truth

“You’ve finally come down here yourself. Rather than sending my own little Ksa against me.” It was nearly pitch black. If it wasn’t for Elkay’s enhanced senses, the one good thing he got from his mother, he would have been completely blind. Occasionally something would flash by, the glowing eyes of one of the N-Class … Read more

Tale: Resignation?

“Sit down, please.” Thitavee-En was visibly shaking. He’d had Itakay, the Vice General’s secretary, hand him the reports he wrote, but less than half an hour later, there he was, in the Vice General’s office. The knots in Thitavee’s stomach made it hard to concentrate on anything, let alone the angry Rethan in front of … Read more

Tale: Renationalization

It was yet another warm, sunny day on the outskirts of Palaestra, with a gentle breeze to help cool down those working outdoors. One such being was Gath Tsoriou, who had been working hard all morning, clearing rubble and working out what he could salvage from the remains of his burnt down house. Most of … Read more

Tale: New Recovery

“You’re finally awake!” Arkay blinked a couple of times. He was sitting on a large, luxurious sofa, with an IV drip attached to his arm. Standing in front of him was… “By the Light! You’re Veeyel!

Tale: Midnight

Arkay missed the sound of his heart monitor. During the long, dark nights, it was often the only thing he could hear that didn’t sound ominous or worrying. Since his heart monitor had been replaced with a silent, wireless one around his wrist, Arkay was sure he was either hearing things, or something was stalking … Read more

Tale: Card Games

“So where HAVE you been lately?” Retvik asked as he peered over his cards. Phovos tutted, reorganized her cards then tutted again. “Long story. Got any sixes, Gath?” “Go fish,” Gath smiled. “We have plenty of time to listen. Got any sevens, Lokmah?” Lokmah squirmed a little, feeling very uncomfortable as he handed over a … Read more

Tale: General’s Location

“Thitavee-En, can I have a word please?” “Of course!” The N-Class Ksa flapped his elegant wings as he followed Elkay into his office. “How can I be of assistance, Vice General?” Elkay sat down behind his desk. He preferred his humble office compared to that of the High General’s, far less extravagant, more made for … Read more

Tale: Hospital Transfer

“What’s going on?” Arkay dozily asked as several nurses unclipped the wheels on the bottom of his bed and began to wheel him and his IV drip away. General Kaldoran appeared, with a handful of Rethan soldiers by his side. “We’re moving you to a different facility. Nothing to worry about.” Arkay thought for a … Read more

Tale: Reternity

This is everything. Eternity surrounds me. A small eternity. Young. Growing. Particles coming together, light gathering its speed, fundamental elements evolving and joining. A tiny universe swirling out of nothing. I snake across this small existence, a universe I shall protect with my very soul. Despite the chaos, the sub-atomic activity, I find myself at … Read more

Tale: Cexit 2

“I apologise for my tardiness!” Vice General Elkay glanced up from his, well, the High General’s desk. Standing in the doorway was Aesop Korinna, the Prime Minister and overall leader of the Cassids, with two well-dressed Cassian bodyguards to his side. “We… weren’t supposed to meet until 5pm this afternoon?” Elkay sat up, flicking through … Read more

Fan Tale: Servant

“SAHROTAAR!” Miraak’s voice echoed across Apocrypha, bouncing off the nonsensical walls and pillars of that horrible, green sphere. Sahrotaar looked up from what he was doing and sighed. “SAHROTAAR, I SUMMON YOU!” Why did that stupid mortal have to shout? Why wasn’t he dead in the first place? With a growl and a flap of … Read more
