Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“I cannot believe Rethais keeps on letting me take time off…” Relkir muttered as they stepped off the plane behind their poten-partner. Both ahead and behind Relkir and Gath were a handful of members of the 1000th Legion, and two of Gath’s captains. “It is not time off. You are a captain now, silly!” Gath … Read more
Rethais did their best not to growl as they slammed the door to their private office shut, then made their way to a simple desk. The High General normally did meetings in the Grand Hall of the Kentron, a colossal room with a massive glass wall that overlooked the city of Phos. But this was … Read more
“It is funny, you wish to spend the last day of your holiday, here with me.” “Penultimate day, but yes.” While most of the Twelve did have sub-districts in Palaestra, all three Panelixian races lacked one. The Torr only ever visited Palaestra on business and the local travel and tourist industry was far more Ksithan … Read more
A knock on the door woke Relkir up, but Gath had hardly moved. To be fair, both of them were hungover. Or maybe still drunk. Relkir wasn’t sure. Probably the latter, since both they and Gath were on holiday, and all they’d really done so far was eat and drink. The previous night, they had … Read more
“Heya, Relkir, you alright?” It turned out that Gath was very popular among the house fighters of the Great Arenas, and everyone had spent a great afternoon having fun and chatting. Somehow, that afternoon turned into drinking games in the evening, combining into a celebration of multiple things. Also, it seemed that Retvik had more … Read more
“Firstly, it is great to see you, sibling. Secondly… what the actual fuck?” Relkir was well known to not swear much, so that statement caught pretty much everyone off guard. Relkir and Gath had come to the Great Arenas for a private tour, given by none other than the Lightbearer himself. “What?” Retvik replied innocently. … Read more
“Well, that is convenient!” Gath smiled as they and Relkir lumbered down the path, dragging their luggage behind them. They had just gotten off the bus that had taken them from the space port to the collection of holiday villas they were due to be staying at. “In fact, this has all been rather convenient … Read more
Gath grunted as they lugged their carry-on bag and Relkir’s carry-on bag up the mobile stairs and onto the shuttle, to where their seats were. Their main suitcases were already in the hold, all they needed to do was climb aboard themselves. Thankfully, the flight was going to be somewhat quiet, and there had only … Read more
Relkir grinned as they rolled onto their side and inspected Gath, who was lying on their back, fiddling with a communicator. They had been staying at Gath’s place for the last couple of days, as Relkir had been given some more forced time off work. Their boss, the High General (and one of Relkir’s triplet … Read more
“The High General does not wish to see you.” The glistening, gold and red-armoured General stared at this short, white-plated Rethan standing in front of them, blocking their way. “Move, child.” “No. The High General does not wish to see you. You ought to leave.” Revan Rethianos was not used to being told no. The … Read more
“What in the name of the damned Light are you doing here?” Important Rethans making awkward doctors appointments later in the day when there were less people around wasn’t that uncommon, but Kuta was genuinely surprised at how aggressively Relkir had just hissed at them. In fact, Relkir’s anger was so loud and obvious that … Read more
“I feel like they are testing us.” “Why?” “They are keeping us together.” “Because we are triplets.” “No, to see who is the worst and who is the best. And the worst is clearly me.” “Relkir, just because you are not physically strong, does not mean you are less than us! After all, I am … Read more
Gath grunted to themselves as they finished a call with one of their external captains. While seven of their captains worked alongside Gath, three of them had separate jobs, and had been inducted into the 1000th Legion while continuing their duties elsewhere on neutral territories. Veliir was originally from the 500th Legion, who specialized in … Read more
Gath watched Relkir literally skip towards them in a cheerful and flamboyant way. Relkir had finished work about an hour ago, and, after a quick trip home to clean themselves up and take off their governmental red and black armour, they had requested to meet Gath in a small park down the road from Gath’s … Read more
It had taken way too long, but Gath had finally convinced Retvik to bugger off for a bit so they could have some privacy. Gath didn’t like having to pull rank, but Retvik was getting clingy-defensive over their injured sibling, even though Relkir was doing a lot better now. And since both Rethais and Kuta … Read more
