Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Dada Relkir, are you busy?” Relkir looked up from their tablet. They were currently sitting on the sofa, browsing through an armour catalogue, trying to pick out an armour style and an armour colour for their wedding. Normally, Rethans wore a colour based on the combined colour of the two poten-partners’ plating, but in Relkir … Read more
“A word, please, Relkir.” Relkir tried to hide that they were caught off guard as a heavy hand landed on their shoulder. They had just finished a meeting between the Rethan government and the Spast leadership regarding information on the attempted assassination on the High General not too long ago and Relkir thought the meeting … Read more
As Rethavok were prone to going into a feral defensive rage over their threatened kids, as Rethan society began to grow, most Rethans started raising their kids in large nurseries, in order to better protect their babies and also not become adrenaline-fuelled monsters at the sight of their kids being accidentally hurt, especially as some … Read more
“Hello, Kyr Rethais…” The High General was busy looking out of the gigantic window of the Grand Hall, overlooking their almost perfect city. Rethais didn’t have any work to do, but they did have one last meeting, a social one, before they planned to head home. The voice behind them was expected but oddly timid. … Read more
“Kyr Elkay! Kyr Elkay! I have news!” Litvir knew they probably didn’t need to shout, that knocking on the door of the God of Shadow and Knowledge’s office was enough, but Litvir was excited and desperate to share the news. They bounced up and down excitedly, waiting for Elkay to let them in. Eventually, the … Read more
Being a General of a powerful but also small and ceremonial Legion meant that Gath could often take time off whenever they liked, doubly so since they had been ill and delegating duties to their captains already. For Relkir though, things were a bit trickier. It turned out the Legion of Advisors really needed more … Read more
Something beeped. Relkir’s eyes flicked open. They yawned, stretched, then rolled over to one side, to the small table by the side of the bed. Relkir’s communicator was the source of the beep. Getting beeps in the middle of the night wasn’t that uncommon, Relkir was an important Rethan with a vital job, but it … Read more
Relkir sighed to themselves as they stared at the package on their desk. Outside Relkir’s office, the 99th Legion had all just been given their first set of uniform armour, and the boxes at the back of the room contained enough armour for each member of the Legion for a week. Relkir had watched them … Read more
“Mama!” Litvir was in a very bouncy mood today. To the point that they leaped up at Gath and hugged them tightly before even entering the house. “Hello, kiddo!” Gath patted Litvir on the back in a bid to calm them down. “How are you today?” “Mama, I am in a very good mood today! … Read more
Ever since their heart problem, Gath had barely been working. They worked three days in the office at the Kentron, and one day in their home office. The other three days were spent at home, relaxing, or doing gentle exercises or going on walks, to keep themselves healthy and active. Today though was a day … Read more
The public pool at the Phos Public Exercise Centre was very rarely busy. Most Rethans didn’t like swimming, and a lot of them massively struggled in deeper waters. But Relkir had been insistent that Gath do some swimming exercises, because it was a simple, gentle exercise that wouldn’t stress Gath out too much. At least, … Read more
Gath’s chest still hurt, in fact, most of Gath’s body hurt, but at least they were still alive. Just about. Gath wasn’t quite sure, and it didn’t help that they had heard some scary words, things like “they need oxygen” and “life support on its way”, things like that. Now Gath was awake though, they … Read more
“Hello, kid, what are you doing up?” Litvir inched downstairs, towards where Gath was standing in the kitchen. “I… I heard you get up. It is very late. You do not normally get out of bed at all.” Gath grunted. They seemed to be in a little bit of pain. There was a glass of … Read more
Gath never thought they would have ever said this, but they had ordered way too much pizza. Normally Relkir made pizza, kneading their own dough, making their own sauce and picking out toppings, but the last few days, in the evenings, Gath and Relkir were celebrating with their nearly-adopted kid Litvir, so they got takeaway … Read more
“Good evening, General!” Relkir looked up from their work. It was pretty late, but the Legion of Advisors had needed to assist the Legion of External Affairs in a teleconference call with the Athren leadership, namely the Distant Moon Singers, who dealt with foreign affairs. However, standing at their desk right now was Rethais, the … Read more
