Time passed in flashes, other students he knew, brief moments of a good time, but mostly an oppressive darkness. What is the point of this? It echoed in feeling, words and thoughts. There were times he remembered asking himself that randomly. What hope was there? He went to classes and did his work as he [...]
The dice bounced off of Lexx’s head and onto the floor. Startled, Lexx jerked aside and tried to see what it was without touching it. There was a glow on the floor. It was the only time he’d seen his own dice and most likely the only time he would. His eyes widened as it [...]
He awoke in a chair, arms and legs strapped down, along with a strap around his neck to hold him still. “Wh’what’s going on?! Where am I? How did I get here?!” Lexx struggled anyway, panicking. “Relax, Lexx.” Clicking between each word, the Tarsulas came forward. “We’re almost done. Then you’ll be taken to the [...]
The memory fixated to a more recent one, just several years ago and it all felt like it was happening all over again. Realization had fully set in. His life was on the line, if he were captured, which was inevitable, he would be a slave, forced to fight despite his lack of desire to [...]

Six hours later, Lexx was glad that he’d agreed to go. The movie had been interesting. Of course, Chel had chosen a comedic picture, purposely trying to get Lexx to lighten up. He’d sat through it without a word, conscious that he was in a theatre full of humans who probably would not be very [...]
“You’d kinda stick out in the daylight.” Chel felt the need to point that fact out, wanting to know more while Lexx felt like being talkative. There was no telling when his mood would change. “I know places on Earth humans don’t frequent.” It felt good to talk freely, to tell someone else something that [...]
Lexx drank heavily of his favorite Dilna, powdered mixture and water, none of which had the misfortune of originating inside of an animal. That had been disgusting and the very thought had made him have a very bad reaction to the milk. He’d helped Chel clean up, but felt a little bad about it. How [...]
Chel didn’t know what to expect as she dropped the dice on the floor. They bounced once and then flickered, the forms of Stealth and Fly appearing where they had been, or at least, a version of them. The two were smaller than they were before. Stealth looked more like a kitten and only had [...]
