New Game

Kayel frowned as he struggled with the controls to this strange games console he was using. While Kayel had played video games before, he normally played on his little laptop, or on Psiksi’s PlayBox, a Spast gaming system that Psiksi had bought Skyavok-compatible controllers for. The portal console Kayel was currently fiddling with was also … Read more

Awkward Reassurances and Questions

“Thanks for the ride, mate!” Nyssi smiled as Kuta pulled her through the shadow in Retvik’s bedroom. She’d been somewhat stuck at her place at the Torn Islet, mostly because an angry space goddess had teleported everyone home, but Nyssi’s truck had been left outside, parked in front of Retvik’s nice house. “You are welcome…” … Read more

Dispa

“Epani, we need to talk.” Kairos and Sini both glanced at each other, having said the same words at the same time. They had both been busy doing semi-related things. Kairos had been checking potential future snapshots in order to make sure that the universe was safe, and Sini had been keeping an eye on … Read more

Ruined Birthday Aftermath

The Raptor had raced back to Retvik’s villa as fast as she possibly could, and she’d brought some of her guards with her. But as she reached the front door and was let in, Phovos realized she didn’t really need to. “Hello, Queen!” Talok clicked. The little Vohra seemed chirpy on the outside but she … Read more

Battered and Bruised

Retvik gasped for breath as he suddenly woke up in his bed, his head spinning and nausea in his throat. Something… something had happened. Retvik hadn’t gone to bed. It was 2pm. Far too early for bed. The memories slowly trickled back. It was his birthday party. He had friends round. Kuta was there. So … Read more

Birthday Mess

Phovos didn’t know what to expect as she knocked on the front door to the large, fancy villa. The only indication that she was in the right place was a single red balloon tied to the lamp post in front of the house, next to a red and gold Rethan bicycle. However, as the door … Read more

Into Temptation

“Oh hey, you’re a cat again!” Kayel smiled as he let himself in, immediately took off all his clothes and threw them into the washing machine. Kayel blatantly didn’t care that he’d just stripped off in front of the God of Death, he was hot, sexy, young-ish and had been trying to sleep with the … Read more

Strange New Friends

“So, what the fuck are you doing here on Portalia?” Thassalin shifted awkwardly on his seat. He was a Thraki, he wasn’t used to sitting on chairs. At least, not Temthan chairs. While Temthans did vary greatly in height and size, they were all upright beings and they all had long lizard tails, so their … Read more

Battered Pink Thraki

Nyssi had planned to go to the Torn Islet on her own, to check in with her cousins and help them move into new accommodation, but since Retvik didn’t have any plans and had been pacing around being anxious, she’d decided to bring him with her. Not only did Retvik need some distractions, but he’d … Read more

Great House Mate

“How much is your rent?” Kayel had admittedly forgotten that he’d let the God of Decay stay in his apartment. But to be fair, Arkay had been the perfect room mate. Apart from the pillow and the light blanket on the sofa, one wouldn’t have known Arkay was there. He spent most of his time … Read more

A New Job for Thassalin

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

Steps Forward

“Hey! You came back already!” Kayel was grinning as he opened the door to his apartment, but that grin very quickly faded as he realized that Arkay had fabric wrapped around his neck and wrists. “Uh… are you well?” “No… can I come in?” Kayel nodded and led Arkay in, gently closing the door behind … Read more

Steps Backward

“We need to talk, Arkadin.” Arkay sighed as he fell into his black bean bag chair. The other three deities had thrones. He had a sack full of polystyrene beads. However, Epani wasn’t using her ornate gold and red throne, she was standing on the table between them all, hands on her hips, clearly looking … Read more

Coffee at the Mall

“Well, piss.” Arkay’s shoulders dropped as he realized that the coffee shop he had brought Kayel to was closed. And had been closed for a good couple of months. “So, uh, was there a reason why you brought me here?” Kayel asked. “Yeah. I found this place when I was looking for an apartment to … Read more

11pm Visit

The knock on the door did admittedly make Kayel jump, but it was the muttering he could hear that bothered him more. A defeated sigh and the repeated words of “I shouldn’t be here” and “why am I doing this?” were enough to force Kayel out of bed and see what was going on. It … Read more
