Rethans weren’t known to be openly emotional, which was why Kuta was so surprised that they could hear crying.

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.

“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.

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
“That is a lot of fluffy kitties…” Elkay gave Kuta a funny look as the Shadow and the Spiritdrainer slipped through the darkness, pulling themselves through shadows as they made their way across what looked like a basic warehouse district in Sec-404, in the northern territories of Torr 9-6. They came to a half outside … Read more
Really, the day had been a bit of a blur for Kuta. So much had happened. A demotion. A promotion. A mission brief. A change of armour. A layer of paint and varnish. A trip to the space port. A flight. A lot of things. Kuta was now sitting in an empty hotel room in … Read more
“I hate to bother you, Retvik, but can you come with me for a bit?” It was about midnight, Retvik wasn’t really sure, but that familiar thump as Kuta shadowjumped into his bedroom and hit the deck had woken him up. “Are you alright, Kuta?

“Thank the Light, I am so glad to be-” Retvik suddenly paused as he realized that Kuta had completely passed out and collapsed on the floor in front of him. Kuta passing out from long distance shadowjumps was somewhat common, but the way Kuta hit the deck was somewhat concerning, doubly so since Kuta was … Read more
Thassalin had been brooding for a while, licking his wounds, mostly his pride. After a fight with the Dragon God of Time, Thassalin had shrunk down and disappeared into the undergrowth, only to slither back to his little mountain home and hide away, fearing vengeance. It turned out, Thassalin wasn’t as strong as he thought … Read more
“Hello, sibling. May I join you?” Retvik sighed but quickly relented, shifting across the bench so that Rethais could sit down. They had been sitting on their own, staring out of a nearby window, looking down at the streets of the city of Phos. It was a very large, pretty and square city, with wide … Read more

“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.
