Synaisthyn Scheming

“Elkay, are you busy right now?” Elkay lifted his head off the table. For some reason, after Elkay’s regular blood donations, he’d always found that he was very sleepy and would regularly fall asleep in the canteen, clutching a bottle of water. Most folks knew to leave Elkay alone, and he’d wake up eventually, whenever … Read more

Gentle Brushing 9

The young Thantir Life Goddess and the Newling Thantir Voidborn had been in the same room for a while. Sure, Phovoula had her own room, but it felt lonely in there. Phovos’s room was pretty much identical, apart from the vines and white flowers which covered one of the walls of her place. However, Phovos … Read more

Sibling’s Blessing and Advice

“So, you want to get married?” Kuta and Ret were sitting in front of Litvir’s desk, holding hands. Ret was a tad worried, but Kuta was fine. “We do, yes.” “Forever and ever, also forever?” “Indeed.

Slow Ship Sales

Vikalos seemed glum. He, Tah and Arkay had visited a few places now, and, at every single one, not only did Vikalos not see anything he wanted to buy, but everyone kept on wanting to talk to him. To the point that Vikalos was starting to wonder if he should put on his ancient Fireborne … Read more

Holiday Distractions

It was very rare that all three members of the Missing were in the same room together during normal working hours, but since the Thantir was now a much larger sect, it meant that the Thantir’s leaders didn’t have to work all the time. Currently, Retvik was browsing through supplies, to see if there was … Read more

Ship Plans

Sudden Holiday Discussions

“We need a holiday. And I want to buy things.” Retvik looked up from his work, a report on how many patients had been treated that day, as well as the types of corruption that had affected them. “A holiday?” Litvir asked as he also looked up from his work, sorting out schedules. “Yeah. A … Read more

Three-Way Chat

“So, are we the same person?” “No.” “Kind of?” The three Retviks were sitting at a table in Vick’s bar. They’d been sitting there for a little too long, not really sure what to say to each other. Vick felt weirdly angry and uncertain, but that might have been because he’d been recently beaten up … Read more

Materials and Headaches

“It is not a problem, Letharus. We will get what you need, and we will head down to your location as soon as possible.“ “Thank you so much.” “No worries. We will speak soon.” Retvik put his communicator down, then got up from his office chair. The Missing’s office was rather empty today, as a … Read more

New Wages

“Hello, kiddos, thank you all for coming here today!” Litvir was in a cheerful mood as he watched everyone find their seats and sit down. The classroom hadn’t been used for a while, because the Decaylings were no longer Decaylings, they had graduated and were now officially Decay Lords. “Hello, brother, why have you called … Read more

Akah had just gotten off his shift, working as a greeter for any clients or patients coming in.
