Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Everything was clear, and a gentle wind blew through. The audience was sitting patiently, waiting for the two partners-to-be to arrive. And they swiftly did. Lesii, the mother of one partner-to-be, led Gath down on the left, while Rethais, the twin sibling of Relkir, led Relkir down on the right, to the table on the … Read more
Relkir shivered as they stared out into the distance, taking in the view from the balcony of their hotel room. They had spent the day getting their plating trimmed and their skin moisturised, as well as sorting out final bits and pieces for their wedding, like getting their wedding armour polished. It had been a … Read more
Litvir had still felt sad and a bit bruised, but as soon as they saw their beloved mama and dada, sitting on a golden glass beach under a beautiful clear night sky, that sadness and pain very quickly faded. It faded completely as their colossal adopted mother staggered to their feet, stomped over and wrapped … Read more
“So, any questions before I head off?” Relkir looked over their small Legion. They had just explained the plan while Relkir was away. None of them really wanted to go to Relkir’s wedding and Relkir was fine with that, and, in the mean time, Mylon and Skeftin, the two twin captains, would be in charge … Read more
Gath glanced around the little ice cream cafe awkwardly, not really sure what to look at. Ever since their heart problems, Gath had been declared semi-retired, and was basically free to do whatever they want. So Gath had been using their free time to do most of the in-person planning of their wedding. In fact, … Read more
“Hello.” Trimes blinked as they opened the door to their apartment. Ever since the Sudden Darkness, the complications from being touched by Corruption and the loss of most of their left arm, Trimes had been living in an assisted care facility. They had their own private quarters, a bed, small living room and bathroom, but … Read more
“So anyway, what do you-” Levik stopped mid sentence as he felt something vibrating. He blinked a few times before realising that it was his phone ringing, and he stopped everything he was doing to answer it, ignoring the confusion of his gladiator friends. “Relkir! It’s been ages! How are you? Can I put you … Read more
“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
