A Message at Breakfast

“Huh, did you know that Elksia Ksiou is the tenth richest Vrekan alive? Not only is she part of the insanely wealthy Ksion family, but her books about her time in the Dessaron have gone and made her nearly 500 million Evra?” Elkay looked up from his bowl of cereal. He wasn’t a fan of … Read more

Back From A Work Trip

Teekay gently opened the door, not sure what to expect. He’d been away for over two weeks, far longer than he had anticipated. It turned out his former colleagues really, really needed his help, as few people knew how to properly deal with a deity. Teekay didn’t know either but he at least had prior … Read more

Call From Work

Enkay leaned back in his deck chair, soaking in the low levels of sun. The skies in these Skyan territories were always pitch black, but the nearby stars still pumped out enough heat to warm one’s skin. Next to him was Teekay, who was lying on his stomach, watching some sort of show on a … Read more

Three for Dinner

“He is… really quiet, isn’t he?” Teekay and Enkay sat at the table, delicately sipping their frozen ice cream smoothies, while they watched Elkay drift about the kitchen. The three of them had initially planned to go out for a fast food meal, but Elkay had changed his mind at the last minute, claiming that … Read more

Tea with Enkay

Moonrock Cafe was always quiet in the afternoons. It was a cafe built mainly to serve working K-Class Skyans, all of whom had strict time tables and busy schedules, meaning there were very obvious dead spots throughout the day. These dead spots where why Teekay had wanted to meet with Enkay now, rather than later … Read more

Invitation from Enkay

There was a weird knock on the bathroom door, followed by an awkward voice. Teekay opened the door ever so slightly, peering through the crack. On the other side was Elkay, looking confused and naked. “Teekay, your communicator is vibrating…” “Then answer it.” “I do not recognise the number. It also says “Private” on it. … Read more

Shadow At The Window

Elkay closed his eyes and sighed as he leant on the window sill, a warm, fuzzy feeling running through his body. Everything right now was good. Not amazing, not bad, just good. He was happy, comfortable and had everything he could have ever needed. For once in his short life, Elkay was genuinely, blissfully happy, … Read more

Back Home From Work

Elkay sighed as the door opened and Teekay let him in. He waved at Teekay then dragged over to the large pile of cushions and pillows that filled the centre of the room and threw himself onto it. “How was your day?” Teekay asked. “Meh…” Teekay smiled, ever so slightly. “Welcome to the world of … Read more

Job Tryout

Teekay and Vieneff watched as the being that was obviously not a Skyavok helped move boxes around. Normally it would take at least a team of two Skyans to move boxes from the transport bay into the storage sectors, but this one being was moving crates and boxes around with ease, hardly breaking a sweat. … Read more

Deathly Invasion

Teekay tried to work out what was going on and clearly couldn’t make heads or tails of the situation, apart from the fact that he was being held at gunpoint. In front of him were seven fully armoured Rethans, all silently scowling at him. It had all started with a simple knock. And then a … Read more

Finally Filling In Forms

“I cannot believe that they just let you do all of this online…” Teekay blinked as he watched Elkay fill in forms. The process was going incredibly slowly, not because the forms were hard to answer, but because Elkay didn’t know what to put, aside from his name and date of birth. The fact that … Read more

Happy Exhaustion

“Well, I am glad that I finally got to use those…” Teekay muttered as he tried to catch his breath. “Even if it wasn’t me using them…” “I am glad you came prepared too…” Elkay’s mood was hard to judge from where Teekay was. He’d always thought that Elkay was a very fit and healthy … Read more

Fresh Paperwork

Sheets of paper littered the table, spilling onto the floor. Elkay looked on in confusion as Teekay printed out more and more paper, stopped, then refilled the printer. “Uh… What are you doing?” Teekay looked up. “Printing things out.” “Well obviously, but what are you printing out?” “Forms” “What for?” “Repatriation.” Elkay tutted. “Did you … Read more

Sharing Questions

“Hi.” “Hi…” “You awake?” Elkay lifted his head wearily. “I am now.” “Sorry, but I have a lot of questions and I really have to ask you now.” Teekay was sitting on top of Elkay, pinning him down. How Elkay hadn’t noticed, he wasn’t sure. But he was so exhausted that it was possible he’d … Read more

On Edge

The wind was harsh. Harsher than normal. It was accompanied  by a spattering of rain, not hard enough to require shelter but present nonetheless. Right now, Elkay didn’t care as he stared into the dark abyss, contemplating his life. He knew the exact moment where it had all shattered. Leading the innocent to safety. Protecting … Read more
