Mercy Of The Worm

Dee Bee

Submitted to Contest #307

Kelmin Artoran walked the streets of the capitol Primar Verdantus. The systems dual stars, the Twin Sisters, had melted away the thin clouds of early morning and now the warm summer air breezed through his long brown hair, sending his locks waving like a sea of gleaming silk. Kelmin closed his eyes and looked skyward, the warmth of the Sister’s gaze feeling like a soft touch on his stubbled cheeks. He opened his eyes.Through the sandy canopy of buildings above him, the sky was deep blue, like the oceans and seas of the planet Verdantus. The ...

Death In Heaven

Dee Bee

Submitted to Contest #304

I've been waiting for you, Angel Riktor. The Angels and their Archangel lords stood watch over the mortals of earth from the beginning of time itself. Extraordinary mortal men and women were granted immortality and the sacred duty of eternal service to the light. The agents of the light were to lock their blades with the enemies of humanity, both mortal and immortal, protecting the helpless citizens and servants of the light that inhabited earth below. In the Arch Heavens, hundreds of miles above the mortals of earth, the sun shone eternal...

Prafiro’s Roar

Dee Bee

Submitted to Contest #302

Prafiro’s Roar Helbrid gazed up at the torrenting skies of the planet Prafiro, just barely visible through the dense green jungle canopy, a seemingly green-black darkness closing in hundreds of feet above him. Distant thunder boomed so violently that it sent a shockwave shiver through the verdant species of a thousand different plants, causing a miniature torrent of rain to run off leaves, branches and stems and onto Helbrid’s muddied face. The brief rush of droplets on his face felt as good as it could, breaking up the ever-ending rhythmic ...

IC3

Dee Bee

Submitted to Contest #234

The sun has not risen here for thousands of years. Icy wind hit his face as Cliffrax shivered and glanced at his wrist display, barely stopping his teeth from chattering. He tapped the luminated display with a gloved finger, as the wind howled in his ears. The display showed that his heart rate and body temperature were stable, but the iciness of this world was causing his technology to slow. He had crash landed on the planet IC3, which had a comically fitting Galactic Database Resignation. His original destination had been a lush, water...

The Drought

Dee Bee

Submitted to Contest #233

This is a prequel to my submission here: https://blog.reedsy.com/short-story/fk2533/ It just so happened that I mentioned a drought in that submission, so I thought I would continue building on that universe. Enjoy! -------------------------------------- Drayven stood at his post on one side of the large polished archway, the peak barely made it halfway up the painted vaulted ceilings of the Watersleeper Royal Quarters, located deep within the ocean sized lake of Rivilius. As Watersleeper culture had evolved over the millennia, they had begu...

The 5th Great Rivilius Conflict

Dee Bee

Submitted to Contest #232

Write a story about someone looking for a sign in a dark sky. This world has turned to darkness. Drayven stood knee deep in warm, weedy waters. He could feel the gentle tide pushing waves against his slick muscular legs, like a calming massage. But all was not calm. He let out a wet cough, his sparkling black eyes peered through the wall of smoke surrounding him.  With his secondary protective eyelids engaged to protect his sensitive aquatic eyes, he took in the landscape around him as the smoke cleared. That which had once been his...
