Tale: Back to Work

Flanked by his dedicated team of Ksa, Vice General Elkay touched down outside the freshly rebuilt chambers of the Council, the main governing body of Rethan society.

Tale: Timn’s Getaway

“XENTRESS!” Timn skidded to a halt just outside Arkai’s private quarters. “XENTRESS! GET UP!” Arkai wearily got out of bed to see what the hell was going on. “What is it? Oh. Timn. I wanted to see you actually. Wanted to ask why I have been so sleepy over the last few days, and when … Read more

Tale: Letter to Gath

Dearest, beloved Gath, You haven’t spoken to me since the fire. I am worried sick about you. I have tried calling you and messaging you and all sorts. When I requested to be wheeled to your side in my bed, I was refused. You clearly don’t want to speak to me. I don’t know why. … Read more

Tale: Deep Space Diary Entry 7

Dear Diary, Dear Elksia, This is one of those rare moments where I am actually alive and awake. Not some sort of mindless zombie. I find it ironic how I keep on telling them a Threavok. The Threavok were all turned into sex slaves before they were killed off too. Just wanted to share that … Read more

Tale: The Immortal Playground

“I’m glad you came here to meet me, little Kronospast!” Death span round in her particularly evil chair. She was wearing nothing but a shadowy mass of tentacles that just about covered her private parts. “Last time, the first time you saw me was just after that nasty thing with Stasis. Have you found your … Read more

Tale: Lost in the Future

The portal was only open for a moment, but it was long enough for something to pass through. A small bundle of fabric with a tiny, squirming creature wrapped up nice and warm. After a few minutes of silence, a second portal opened up, and the injured body of a Lanex crawled through. This portal … Read more

Tale: Burning

There was smoke in the air. Kass slammed his foot on the accelerator. The smoke was thick and heavy, and it only seemed to be getting thicker the further north he went. Ahead was his destination, exactly where the smoke was. The hovercraft skidded to the right, narrowly avoiding the flaming trees blocking half the road. Only … Read more

Tale: Broken Confidentiality

“Empress! What are you doing here? You have your own team of personal medical staff to attend to your every need, what do you need from me?” “Ah, little Timn, you know one such as I is always looking for more. Always, eternally hungry, you know.” Elisia sat seductively on the leather couch normally intended … Read more

Tale: Date with a Ksa

“I can tell you don’t get out much!” Enyan grinned as Itakay cautiously sat down at the tiny little table. He’d watched every single movement as Itakay had entered, amused by the way Itakay inspected everyone present and checked every exit, all in the space of a couple of seconds. His mind was still on … Read more

Tale: Tea with not Death

Death would normally be here by now. She was occasionally late sometimes, as to be expected with such an important job, but normally she’d turn up eventually. Tenuk had come and gone three times in the last week and hadn’t seen her once. This time was no different. Except for the Veth approaching him with … Read more

Tale: Holiday Phone Call

The communicator buzzed three, four, five times before Elkay finally picked up. “You know I have been on holiday for no more than twelve hours, yes?” the Vice General growled down the voice piece. “Twelve hours. Not even a full day. Actually, when you include flights and travel time, it’s not even half a day. … Read more

Tale: Taking A Break

“Are you finally taking a break, ser?” Teekay asked as he stood guard, watching uneasily as the Vice General packed a suit case. “A short one, yes. How many times have I asked you to call me Elkay? You should know by now, I consider you my equal!” “You haven’t mentioned going away… Not to … Read more

Tale: Latches

“Xentress! Xentress! Wake up!” Lenik rushed over to the small, cushion-filled chamber, narrowly avoiding a low-hanging pip he could have easily smashed his head on. He slammed his fist on the door a few times, rudely awakening the sleeping beauty inside. “XENTRESS!” The door unlocked slowly. There must have been four or five locks on … Read more
