Betting Debt Paid

“Wow… I can… see why you three enjoy that…” “What do you mean by ‘you three’?” “You, Sini and Epani.” “Oh.” It had taken a long time and a lot of alcohol to get this far. Arkay had wanted to claim his prize and Kairos had wanted to just get it all over with, but … Read more

Theocydes’s Warning

It had taken way too long, but the Thantir Two had finally arrived to tow Shield Six to the only place in the sector that was open. They would have gone to the closer Pleasure Mall, but after a handful of baby universes all suddenly disappeared, as well as a few larger ones being destroyed, … Read more

Requesting Assistance

“Hello, Decay Lord Galyn speaking, who is this? We normally do not get Voidborn messages like this.” Koh hadn’t expected a response. He was currently using communication lines he wasn’t familiar with, in a bid to call someone, anyone for help. Thankfully, with a little too much effort, he’d finally managed to get in touch … Read more

Attack on Shield Six

The being had attacked without warning, tearing a hole through the side of the ship Shield Six before immediately terminating the engines and leaving everyone drifting and trapped in the dark. Thankfully, Kal had strong infrared vision, allowing them to still see. That didn’t mean that they had a handle on the situation though. Whatever … Read more

Interrupting Text Messages

“Litvir…” Litvir’s communicator buzzed, playing a short tone Eksi didn’t recognize. However, Litvir didn’t pick it up. He was currently busy giving Eksi a massage, as an apology for having bailed on him the other day. Their fellow Decay Lord and resident Life Goddess Seimeni had picked up some sort of transmission and completely freaked … Read more

Gold Suite

Despite having been a gladiator for the entirety of his adult life, Retvik had never been to the fancy suites rented out to rich viewers. Sure, he had watched battles himself, but house fighters had their own viewing area, closer to ground level, and even then, it was mostly there for observation and educational reasons. … Read more

After-Battle Depression

Retvik, Nyssi, Tenuk and Kayel all sat in their private training area, none of them really knowing how to feel. There were excited beings wandering around, hoping to catch members of the team Xeno Dessaron One and get interviews and selfies with them. Not just normal beings in the public areas, but other gladiators, challengers … Read more

Placing Bets

Occasionally, someone would ask for the Holy Four to all meet up in one location, but the choice of location today was rather odd. Sure, all four deities could call each other and arrange a group meeting, but normally the one to make the call would be Sini or Epani, and normally it would be … Read more

Shapeshifting Tricks

“Hello Tenuk, you wanted to…” Nyssi didn’t finish her sentence, watching in awe as something reptilian but not a Thraki soared around the small, closed off arena. This place was supposed to have been a small stadium for bloodless arena battles, mostly beast-catching stuff, and Nyssi had recently been in it during a stunt to … Read more

Unwarranted Prayer

Kayel was exhausted. Ever since his team had accepted the challenge from Retha Squad One, the four of them had been training non-stop. Kayel in particular had been practising more efficient shadowjumping, something that was both physically and mentally draining. Doubly so if Kayel was shadowjumping while carrying someone else. But he’d made a lot … Read more

Angry Explanations

Nyssi, Tenuk and Kayel all glanced nervously at each other as Retvik paced back and forth, his tail swishing angrily from side to side. They’d just finished a Capture the Flag match against a Temthan team, and had ended it swiftly despite the hideously bright lighting set up to prevent Kayel from shadow-jumping. Instead, Tenuk … Read more

Unwanted Challenge

Kayess-En, Kass for short, was a huge being. Standing at nearly 3m tall, she towered over most, even her fellow Rethavok, and had the strength to back herself up. As the leader of Retha Squad One, Kayess-En had lead her team to victory over and over, to the point that they were considered one of … Read more

Sickening Confusion

Most Vohra didn’t really use names. Since Vohran nests were all telepathically linked, actually calling out a name was somewhat needless, and only higher ranked Vohra and their Vahyra Queens would have some sort of name, which was used when speaking to non-Vohra races. However, the Vahrga, the adult males, that fought in the Great … Read more
