Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Rethais did their best not to growl as they slammed the door to their private office shut, then made their way to a simple desk. The High General normally did meetings in the Grand Hall of the Kentron, a colossal room with a massive glass wall that overlooked the city of Phos. But this was … Read more
Vekeus hesitated as he parked his ship outside the Shield and Stave, the cosy little Decay Lord-run pub which not only served Adogtic Voidborns, but was quite nice to stay at as well. As he’d flown back from the Athata Rift, Vekeus had been rather undecided. He’d been flip-flopping between his physical looks – that … Read more
Kuta glanced around the recovery room. They were tired, but they refused to sleep. They had just had surgery while conscious, and while everything had gone incredibly smoothly, Kuta felt weird. Like something was wrong. “How are you feeling, Kuta?” Kuta’s main doctor, Fetiir, was standing in the doorway. They seemed slightly blurry. “Uneasy and … Read more
“You, uh, called me earlier than expected.” Most Rethan doctors were either really young or really old. Or, rather, they just looked like it. Doctor Fetiir, a somewhat tall but skinny pale blue-plated Rethan, had been Kuta’s main doctor for pretty much all of Kuta’s adult life, for nearly seventy years, but they had treated … Read more
“BOO!” Retvik nearly jumped out of bed. The whole house had been completely silent, what with Kayel and Nyssi staying at their own homes and Tenuk spending the night at Talok’s place, so Kuta suddenly leaping out from the shadow in the corner and throwing themselves into Retvik’s bed did catch him unaware. “Kuta! You … Read more
“Ugh, are they still at it?” “Unfortunately, yes.” Vokulunaax grunted as he perched on the colossal window ledge, watching the universe drift by. Vexer had just finished his guard shift and had come by to rant and complain, like he always did. There were six beings on this small, floating fortress, and they only ever … Read more
“The High General does not wish to see you.” The glistening, gold and red-armoured General stared at this short, white-plated Rethan standing in front of them, blocking their way. “Move, child.” “No. The High General does not wish to see you. You ought to leave.” Revan Rethianos was not used to being told no. The … Read more
“What in the name of the damned Light are you doing here?” Important Rethans making awkward doctors appointments later in the day when there were less people around wasn’t that uncommon, but Kuta was genuinely surprised at how aggressively Relkir had just hissed at them. In fact, Relkir’s anger was so loud and obvious that … Read more
Gath grunted to themselves as they finished a call with one of their external captains. While seven of their captains worked alongside Gath, three of them had separate jobs, and had been inducted into the 1000th Legion while continuing their duties elsewhere on neutral territories. Veliir was originally from the 500th Legion, who specialized in … Read more
“Um, there’s someone at the door.” Kayel blinked, then sighed. He was busy making out with a super hot death god, the first person Kayel had properly seduced in a long time, and just as things were about to get naked and very sexy, something had to ruin it. “Mind telling me who it is … Read more
“Hello, Taliv, friend, is General Kuta in?” Taliv glanced up. They didn’t expect to see Ritlir, the new General of the 10th Legion, to be standing above them. Ritlir wasn’t particularly menacing or anything, really, Ritlir was known for being a tad too friendly. But right now, Ritlir looked annoyed, and that was never a … Read more
Rethans weren’t known to be openly emotional, which was why Kuta was so surprised that they could hear crying. The crying was coming from the alley on the street below, between the block of apartments Kuta lived in and the building next door. Really, Kuta was surprised that no one else had heard the crying, … Read more
Retvik should have been celebrating, but he was currently pacing up and down the living room, stressed out of his mind. News was beginning to spread about some sort of strange “mind bomb” at a secret Torr lab that had left a lot of people dead. A secret Torr lab that his poten-partner Kuta had … Read more
“Prime Minister Panolionos.” “High General Rethais.” Panolionos, Panos for short, had been the leader of the Torr for a good two decades now. Yes, he was an elected leader, technically, but not by a popular vote like most other races. The Torr heavily segmented their territories into specific states, each state was divided into districts, … Read more
Normally, during such an obvious break-in, the Golden Guard security service would have already mowed down the intruder, but all 30 guards stationed at this particular warehouse, an experimental lab for the Aurai Protectorum, a powerful paramilitary and para-governmental corporation, were all frozen in their tracks, unable to move. Worse, their communications had been cut … Read more
