Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Oh, I am so, SO glad to have help these days!” Vekeus exclaimed loudly as he waltzed into the one actually nice pub in the Ventra Expanse that also served Adogtic Voidborns. Behind him were two other Voidborns, the old-fashioned Kesistatir and the almost-normal-looking Theocydes, who would have been fine if he wasn’t completely silver … Read more
“Tolmes, mes’sto spito mou! Mes’sta skota!” There was a Rethan in Elkay’s bedroom, trying to shoot him with what looked like a small, automatic pistol of some sort. It was a blatant assassination attempt, and the only reason why Elkay’s elite team of former Phantasma body guards hadn’t come in and tried to save Elkay … Read more
There was a dead Rethan on the floor. A young, dead Rethan, with purple plating and a gold collar around their neck. Atuho, the Imperator of the Vast Sands, didn’t like getting his hands dirty, but, well, this Rethan had broken into his sleeping quarters and tried to kill him. He hadn’t intended to kill … Read more
Kayel paced up and down one apartment, before deciding to shadowjump to another. He wasn’t going to be able to get these troubles out of his head on his own. But as Kayel made his way down the stairs of Retvik’s nice, four-bedroom home, he realized there were three people in the living room and … Read more
Really, Gath was in the way. But no one dared attempt to move the colossal Rethan from Relkir’s side. Doing so would be to risk harming themselves. In fact, Gath had been involuntarily sedated in a bid to stop them from going Defensive Stance at the sight of their poor, beloved but injured poten-partner, and … Read more
“Did you get any information?” Kuta repeatedly bashed their head against the table. They had been doing so for a good five minutes. Anything to distract them from the dizziness, the migraine, the bubbling anger in the back of their mind, screaming that Kuta wasn’t safe and needed to lash out. Eventually, they calmed down … Read more
“This is pretty.” Limilian Lake was a large large freshwater lake, but its centre was very narrow, to the point that it looked like a rough figure-eight from above. Still, even at the narrow point, the distance between the two shores was about half a kilometre, and the Limilian Lake provided a huge amount to … Read more
Everything had been very, very pleasant so far, but right now, the High General wanted to spend some time with their siblings, and it turned out that the Lake had a jacuzzi, something Gath had always wanted to try, so that was what Gath, Lysar and Kuta were all doing right now, sitting in a … Read more
“You seem to get pretty exhausted when you shadowjump, Little Bitey!” Kayel mocked as he peered from the doorway, as he heard a loud thump in Retvik’s otherwise empty bedroom. Kuta grunted as they picked themselves up off the floor. For a change, Kuta wasn’t wearing their standard scary Below Twenty armour. Instead, they were … Read more
Captain Ignair nearly jumped out of their skin as they opened the door and was greeted by the General of the Retha of all beings. Ignair was a very, very young soldier-caste Rethan who used to have bright red plating, but the plating on their arms was charred black, and they had speckled black and … Read more
“Hello, Kuta, are you busy?” Kuta blinked as Taliv poked them in the side. The other seven 11th Legion Rethans in the room all fell silent. “Kyr Kuta, the High General is speaking to you…” Taliv whispered. “Oh… OH!” Kuta immediately got up and straightened themselves out. “Kyr Rethais, uh, why are you here, in … Read more
“Hello, dear.” “OH FUCK!” Kayel had just been lying in bed, as naked as a Skyan could be, thinking… thoughts, when the massive, pink Temthan appeared at the foot of his bed. Instinct kicked in and Kayel rolled off the bed, through a shadow on the floor and reappeared behind the sofa in the other … Read more
Rethais never enjoyed reading through paperwork in the throne room. It wasn’t a particularly satisfying or comfortable working area. Sure, it worked fine for meetings and discussions, but for quieter work, it was useless. And while, yes, Rethais was the High General, they could change these things, there was never really time to do so, … Read more
“Hello! I hate to say it, but you somehow look glum, despite being a Voidborn! Would you like your normal order?” Theocydes sighed as he entered the Shield and Stave, a Decay Lord pub that allowed Adogtic Voidborns to stop by and have a drink. The place was run by a former Ventra Decay Lord … Read more
“I do not like it, sister!” “It’s just a Voidborn.” “It is hovering outside.” “Yeah. Outside. It’s not hurting anyone.” “I want it gone, Sini.” “Well, get your pet to deal with it then!” “He is not my pet.” “You treat him like one.” “Well… he IS a death god. It is better that we … Read more
