Still Figuring Things Out

Phovoula breathed a sigh of relief as a familiar ship landed at the Pink Paradise, but that sigh was completely overwhelmed by the crude exclamation made by Phovoula’s girlfriend. “Thank fuck you’re here!” Phovos shouted as she raced over to the ship, then impatiently waited for its occupants to exit. Unfortunately, it seemed as though … Read more

Talkative Shadowbeast

“So… you’re the same species as Kaytee and the Loopblades and Arkay?” Elkay-En had hoped that no one would have noticed him, but this group of visitors were rather curious, and two of them were of a familiar shape to Elkay-En. The much larger one (which was at the upper limits for a Standard-type Retha) … Read more

The Biggest Plan

“I don’t get why you four enjoy that shit…” Tenuk grunted as he, Elksia and the four half-Synaisthyns disembarked the Thantir Three. Normally, they would have returned to Savepoint and Elksia and Tenuk, two of the (slightly) older Thantir, wouldn’t have left base in the first place, but Elksia wanted to stretch her legs and … Read more

A Brother and Two Sisters

“Ugh, I am so tired and confused right now…” “Understandable.” Elkay-En put his head in his hands, ignoring the freshly made meal and cup of tea sitting in front of him. By his side was Phovos, who was apparently a Ksithan. Except the Ksithans Elkay-En knew, they were completely reptilian beings, and Phovos had fur … Read more

Sisterly Calls

“I-is that your phone?” Phovoula asked as she tried to catch her breath and calm down. Phovos was also panting a little bit. She growled to herself then turned to Phovoula’s desk, where she’d left her communicator. “Annoyingly, yes…” “Are you going to answer?” Phovos hesitated, then reached over to her desk to see who … Read more

Thoughts and a Box of Rocks

“Why are we looking at rocks in the Void again?” Atteh’Kus wasn’t particularly smart. But that was fine. Atteh’Kus was the meat tank of Sini’s six guardians. He didn’t need to think, he was there to both body-block threats and also incinerate them. Or stab them with his horns. Or stamp on them. Or just … Read more

Vexer’s Rambles

“Ugh…” Vexer had been wandering up and down the corridors of the Shimmering Blade for a while now. The other Guardians were all fine. Lissandra was enjoying herself, sleeping around with the locals and working on her shapeshifting. Fragiir had spent a lot of time in the armoury, getting his gear upgraded, while Atteh’Kus and … Read more

Meeting the Blades Again

“So, why are you all so obsessed with Life Goddesses?” Sini asked as she followed Soulblade and his two minions off the ship and into the depths of the Shimmering Blade. As they walked, patrolling Decay Lords would glance at Sini, lower their heads and utter various things, anything from curses about finding Sini beautiful … Read more

Life Goddess Lure

“We need to assist them!” “Lightblade, slow down.” “They sent a distress flare!” “Lightblade, listen!” “We have to go right now!” “PHOS, STOP!” Lightblade finally did as he was told, mostly because using his actual name rather than his codename always caught him off guard and made him pause. But also Soulblade and Voidblade were … Read more

Silly Flare

“You… want to approach that massive ship?” Vexer asked as he slowed the ship down. “Yep!” Sini smiled. “You want to approach the massive ship full of Decay Lords, with the not-so-friendly name The Shimmering Blade emblazoned down every side?” “Yep.” “You… know we’re supposed to protect you, right? And advise you and assist you, … Read more
