Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
People were trying to stop Rethais as they marched through halls and crowds, so they could talk to Rethais and congratulate them on their win, but Rethais didn’t want to talk to them. They had their mind set on one thing only, and that was to get to the executive box where Rethais’s allies had … Read more
The air was cool and crisp and the audience of the very basic Sandblast Arena were awfully silent as the two competitors entered from opposite sides. Neither fighter today was an official gladiator. Instead, they were political leaders, the rulers of two powerful races, appearing in this arena to prove that one side was more … Read more
“Tomorrow.” “Tomorrow?” “Tomorrow!” Rethais grunted, hiding their confusion. Panos had challenged them to battle, despite being a rather frail old Torr.
