Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“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
Relkir panicked for a moment as they woke up from one of the best sleeps they’d ever had. They weren’t in their own bed. They were sharing with someone else. Or, well, they were? It was a very, very big bed, Relkir couldn’t reach either edge if they stretched their arms out as far as … Read more
Spiritdrainer: Hello. Souldrainer: Hello, little brother, how are you? Spiritdrainer: Well, all things considered. I apologise for both not contacting you much and the fact that I have only sent you bad news as of late. Spiritdrainer: The Allbirther has some sort of ‘plan’ for helping poor Arkay but according to pretty much all the … Read more
The Twenty Below Cafe was built and catered for Rethans that worked in the Below Twenty Legions or for the Legion of the High General, but since it was the middle of the day, the place was pretty much empty apart from one table in the corner. Relkir was very thankful for this, because they … Read more
The General of the 1000th Legion grunted to themselves as they entered the Kentron, the centre of the Rethan government. Gath Tsoriou was an utterly colossal Rethan, standing at 3.2m tall and covered in cream and brown plating, with nearly black skin. They were a soldier-caste Rethan, not normally someone who was even capable of … Read more
“Theoglossa is the language of the Gods, derived from an ancient, strange, hellenistic other universe, far beyond our knowledge. It is currently untranslatable by mortals within the universe of the Four.” – Efay Anglosson, A-Class Skyavok Archivist Arkadin had been hard at work, tidying up the universe. While everything was still working correctly, he’d picked … Read more
