Tea with Death MK3

“TENUK!” Death crashed into the confused Kronoreth, hugging him but not actually hugging him. There was a thin, telekinetic barrier between them, stopping Death from killing him on contact. “Oh my me, I missed you so much! It’s been so long! So damn long since the Historian wrote about us and we got together and … Read more

“Do you have an appointment?” “Pardon?” Tenuk looked confused. In front of him was a Veth sitting at a desk with an appointment book and a pen far too small for its gigantic claws. “Do you have an appointment?” “Um…” Tenuk shrugged. “I normally come here once a month. Been busy lately though. Why do … Read more

Death would normally be here by now. She was occasionally late sometimes, as to be expected with such an important job, but normally she’d turn up eventually. Tenuk had come and gone three times in the last week and hadn’t seen her once. This time was no different. Except for the Veth approaching him with … Read more

“Ah, what a beautiful day!” Death exclaimed loudly, both pondering to herself and trying to catch Tenuk’s attention. “The rivers are flowing, the skies are clear, the silver grass is gently wafting in the breeze… Perfect…” She took a long sip from her cup of tea, then put it down on a table made from … Read more

Tenuk stood by the water’s edge, watching as souls drifted down the shallow, glittering river. The sky was slowly turning from a light pink to a deep, dark navy blue, but there were no stars in the sky. “Hiya, Tenypoo!” Death leaped out of a nearby bush riding on the back of one of her … Read more

This was supposedly the afterlife. Heaven. The shores of Kinigi, to go by its proper name. It didn’t look like anything Tenuk expected. No fluffy clouds or little angelic thropes… humans with wings, nothing like that. He was standing in about 20cm of water, in a lake or ocean that stretched on forever to his … Read more

“Hello, Death, how have you been?” Tenuk waved as he was let in by a particularly large Veth. Death didn’t answer at first though, she was too busy playing with a thin piece of gold string, twirling it around her unnecessarily long claws. Tenuk hesitated for a moment, then said hello again. Death looked up, … Read more

“Been a while, Tenuk!” For reasons unknown, Death was as naked as a fifth dimensional being and avatar of the constant cycle of existence could be. She was laying across a large, silk-covered sofa, smiling and grinning like the lunatic she was. Nothing was covered. Tenuk’s first reaction was to back away slowly, eyes focused … Read more

“Been a while, Tenuk!” Death beamed as she descended from the ceiling, covered in blood and bits of white feather. “I thought I’d scared you off permanently.” “Oh, no, not at all!” Tenuk smiled, with more confidence than usual. “I just got caught up in mortal things. You know what it’s like, you start doing … Read more

Tenuk sighed as he sat down on the little glass stool, while he waited for Death to finish off whatever she was doing. Whatever it was, it involved a lot of screaming, which abruptly came to a halt. Finally, the wall ahead of him opened up and a couple of Veth charged out, carrying two … Read more

“Wow, you look really bloody depressed today, Tenuk!” Death waved the lanky Rethan towards her, before disappearing behind a curtain of shadows and smoke. She was clearly trying to be suggestive but it wasn’t working. “You know exactly why I am depressed, Death!” Tenuk sighed. “What in the name of the Li-” Tenuk paused. He … Read more

Tenuk approached the large, green dome with caution. Standing around it was a large, white, gun metal and blue Veth with what looked like wings. It seemed absolutely exhausted though, as it was panting heavily but also happily. To the Veth’s right, a panel opened in the dome. Out of it stepped Death, mid-shapeshift, from … Read more

“Ah, you came back!” Death smiled as she poured herself a glass of something fizzy. “I knew you would. Still, glad to see you. Please, sit down!” Tenuk glanced at the small glass seats that popped out of the ground. “O-of course. Do you have more stories to tell today? Or do you just want … Read more

“Why do you always invite me here?” Tenuk asked as he pulled up a chair and sat down. Across the table sat what could only be described as the solid shadow of a Thanatian-like being. Complete with glowing white eyes. “I enjoy your company,” the creature smiled, showing rows upon rows of shiny, needle-like teeth, … Read more
