Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Sit.” Tenuk did as he was told, sitting down on the only available surface, a bench made out of the skull of a large creature. Between him and the creature in front of him was a small, white table, held up by four legs made out of bone. On the table were two porcelain cups … Read more
“Been a while, Tenuk,” Arkay muttered as he made himself some sort of hot drink. Tenuk assumed it was tea, but it smelled of cocoa. Maybe it was a hot chocolate. “Death’s busy, she’ll be down here a bit later.” Tenuk shrugged and looked around. The main kitchen area of Death’s living quarters had changed. … Read more
Normally, after his little meetings with Death, Tenuk would go straight home. But today, he didn’t feel like it. He felt like chilling out with his old buddy Arkay. Arkay may have been a Veth, but he was still good company. Unfortunately, as soon as Tenuk found his friend, he realised that maybe now wasn’t … Read more
“Woah…” Tenuk’s jaw fell open as he stood in the doorway. In one hand he had a box of chocolates, in the other he had a boxed selection of luxury teas. He’d nearly dropped both of them. “What?” Arkay blinked. The Veth Prime was happily idling in a large rocking chair. A seat normally reserved … Read more
The two Veth growled as they threw Tenuk into Death’s home, picked him up, threw him on a sofa made of flesh, then stormed off. Tenuk was uncomfortable at first both from his ass having hit the cold stone floors and from the sofa he was sitting on, but since he was sat in a … Read more
“Tennypoo!” Death smiled as she wrapped cling film-covered arms around the bewildered Kronoreth and pulled him inside. “Tennypoo! I missed you so much!” Tenuk struggled to break free from Death’s grasp, but finally relented and let the monstrous thing hug him. “You seem happy today.” Death didn’t reply. She squeezed harder, making it hard for … Read more
“Uh… Hello… Arkay…” Tenuk was visibly shaking. He had never really spent time one on one with a Veth before. What made it worse was that he used to know Arkay. Heck, he’d met Arkay before, but that was during the change. This Arkay, he wasn’t the same. His eyes glowed in a menacing way. … Read more
Tenuk hated the Overlord’s Office. A horrible, pitch black place with stupid gold trimmings everywhere, floating in an eternal nothingness. It was where the Personification of Entropy and Vacuum did his business, and Tenuk had been invited to speak to him. He was currently sitting on a black and gold chair, waiting impatiently for Stasis … Read more
Tenuk couldn’t help but look as Death paraded down the stairs, completely naked, with not even her fancy shadows covering her. Death bounced up and down towards Tenuk, circling him before disappearing in a cloud of smoke and reappearing behind the Kronoreth, this time with her shadows on. “Uh…” Tenuk opened and closed his mouth, … Read more
“Do you know what I find odd?” Death giggled as she opened the door Tenuk was just about to knock on. She found Tenuk’s confusion incredibly amusing and slightly attractive as well. To add to his confusion, as Tenuk entered the room, he found that Death was at the opposite side of it, working on … Read more
“Happy Macromera!” Tenuk shouted as he burst in, carrying boxes of treats and goodies. “And happy Day of Needlessness!” Death though didn’t move. She was busy writing something down. Tenuk put the pile of boxes down on the first convenient space, then slowly sneaked over. Maybe she didn’t hear him. Just as Tenuk reached whispering … Read more
“I thought you were trapped somewhere out there…” the Veth tutted as Tenuk dragged himself onto the beaches of Kinigi. “You know the order to kill Deitics on sight is still going on, yes?” After wiping pale, silver sand from his face, Tenuk looked up to see who was speaking to him. “Oh. Hi, Retvik. … Read more
“Five million years!” Tenuk kept his head low as Death screeched at him. “FIVE MILLION YEARS! WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU FOR FIVE MILLION YEARS?” Eventually, Death’s screeches left the sound spectrum and became completely inaudible to Tenuk. Part of him was regretting showing up, or even bothering in general. It wasn’t like he’d tried … Read more
Tenuk’s first step into Death’s home left him with something warm and sticky on his feet. He didn’t know what it was, but it was horrible. The rest of the room he’d just entered was in a similar state, all covered in a strange, off-white liquid, dripping down the walls and covering the floor. Not … Read more
“WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE LIGHT IS THAT?” Veeyel fell out of his chair and crawled backwards along the floor, edging away from the writhing mass of shadowy tentacles in the middle of the room. Similar cries were made from the other Ksa scattered around, all of whom had been minding their own business … Read more
