The Raptor and the Dragon

“Hi, I’m here to pick up Phovos.” The Rethan, the Banikan and the Temthan all looked unamused. A little black and red Skyan pointed towards the row of individual apartments, six upstairs, six downstairs. None of them seemed impressed that the Whenvern had landed in front of them. “She’s in the very top left one.” … Read more

“You need a much bigger bed…” Kairos grunted as he rolled off the bed and onto the floor. He hadn’t meant to do that and thought he’d looked silly, but Phovos had simply giggled. “It’s meant for just me, silly.” “Well, if we’re going to be doing normal boyfriend and girlfriend things, you’re going to … Read more

Phovos gently closed the door behind her as she left Kohra’s apartment. Timik had left ages ago, but Kayen was still inside, chatting away with his Kronospast friend. Phovos had grown tired and had wanted to leave when Timik did, but they’d both insisted she stay. Only now had she managed to get away. Walking … Read more

Kairos shuddered as he leaned against the street lamp. He wasn’t quite sure why he shuddered. The wind was somewhat strong and blowy, blowing his wing membrane around and messing with the feathers on his neck and tail. The sun though was rather warm, and whenever the wind would die down, the sun’s rays would … Read more

The Raptor and the Dragon stepped out of the dark cinema together, both of them blinking in the artificial light. It had been daytime when they entered the cinema, but on this windy winter evening, the sun had long since set. “So what did you think?” Kairos asked, keeping his arms by his side but … Read more

“Have you got a moment? We need to talk.” That was an odd message. Normally, whenever Tim messaged Phovos, he’d say hello first, then ask how Phovos was doing, always sympathising with her. It was always the same. The only time he’d deviated from that same introduction was whenever something exciting was going on. “Sure, … Read more

Kairos had been knocking on the door and tapping on the windows for several hours now. Ever since the Thantophor had abruptly run off, leaving him with unanswered questions. A quick check with Kenon told him that Arkadin had gone back home, locking himself in his house. “Please, Arkadin, tell me what’s wrong?” There was … Read more

“You’re doing it again…” This was the second time in nearly as many days that Arkadin had caught Kairos hovering behind him, waiting impatiently to ask him questions. Today, Arkadin was just dealing with the remains of a volcanic eruption that had perfectly buried a city full of primitive sapient beings so he had time … Read more

“Arkadin, can you help me with something please?” “Is it urgent?” “Kinda, yes.” The Thantophor rolled his eyes. He was in the middle of cleaning up what looked like a battlefield but was in fact just a normal village square. This dumb planet was filled with religious extremists which regularly blew each other up, but … Read more

Kairos waited patiently at the top of the mountain. Below him, Arkadin was checking over the result of a recent battle, noting down the dead and how they died. One side, Arkadin wasn’t sure, had decided to use a gas bomb, but the high winds had caused a blowback, killing pretty much everyone. With no … Read more
