The Godly Coup

“So, what now?” “What do you mean by that?” Rethais had been on guard for hours now, standing at the newly erected guard tower at the town gate since it had finished being built that very morning. He had given out his orders for the day, handing out tasks for every able-bodied Rethan around, before … Read more

“Heya, Dee!” “Hey, Revan, you’re not dead! Same as normal?” “Same as normal please, Dee!” Dekadee, known as Dee to his customers, was an older Skyavok from an older time, back when the Skyavok normally hid away in the shadows, yet he had been here, running the Dusty Wagon bar, as long as he could … Read more

“Well, if Retvik is going, I guess I will go as well…” All things considered, Trismit didn’t feel too bad, especially since he had just been told he had to give himself up to a dangerous deity that had forcefully taken control of his entire race. While he had expected to feel scared and upset, … Read more

He had received a multitude of warnings over the last two hours, but even if he’d had a year’s warning in advance, there was no way Rethais could have been prepared for the mess he was currently looking at. Like the 300 other free-minded Rethavok, beings who were unable to be directly mind-controlled by the … Read more

“So let me make this next sentence as clear and concise as possible for you. You discovered the ability to give your fellow Rethavok super powers and decided to shut the whole experiment down?” Kaldoran nodded awkwardly. In the last day or so, he had been forced to go through vast, vast mountains of paperwork … Read more

Relkay Rethianos was not having a particularly good time. After two weeks of beatings, torture and forced feeding and drugging, he had finally broken. He had admitted knowing about the secret tunnels underneath the cities, he had admitted to creating distractions so other Rethavok could flee to safer lands. He had also admitted to being … Read more

“Does this happen often?” “I… cannot say.” Kaldoran ran his hands across the weird, fluffy walls, feeling for any sort of ridge or window or exit or literally anything, hoping that there was some way to escape this hideous, lowly lit room. Knowing that there wasn’t any such exit, Vaksavar sat on the lone piece … Read more

“Ah, Kaldoran, it is a pleasure to finally meet you!” The former General of Medicinal Affairs was trying very hard to remain calm as the massive, clawed hand of the Void Lord clung to his throat, dangling him above a very, very high drop. “W-w-what d-d-do you w-w-want?” Kaldoran stuttered, shaking, holding on to the … Read more

“Three hundred Rethavok…” Rethais looked down at the crowd in front of him. They had all gathered on this rather cold, windy day in a vast, grassy field that was normally meant to hold five hundred armed soldiers. This current crowd was hardly armed and hardly sure what was going on. It had been four … Read more

Vaksavar peered through the frosted window, squinting to see the movement in the streets below. From the weirdly joyous yet muffled racket that could be heard, Vaksavar assumed that the Rethavok were having a pretty good time, cheering after every single one of their new High General’s words and then cheering for a lot longer … Read more

The ship shifted silently down the tarmac right into the center of the Portalia City Space Port, surrounded by other ships that had either just landed or were refueling and preparing for their next flights. The simple Skyan charter ship was nothing special, many of them passed through this particular space port every day, importing … Read more

“So, tell me about yourself?” Vaksavar was struggling to believe his eyes and ears. Moments ago, he had been sitting on the floor, heavy chains around his arms and legs, being essentially kept as a pet. Suddenly he was now sitting on what was essentially a golden throne with plush red cushions, the chains having … Read more
