Lexx held back. He clenched his fists, waiting for his opponent to take advantage of his loose stance, but it didn’t. Lexx stood quietly, staring at the dice with an increasingly vacant look on his face. Sparks fragmented his thoughts and he wasn’t pulling them together easily. His body was changing again and he was [...]
“I’ve seen enough.” Victor turned somberly away from the arena windows. There had been four battles so far and each time the creature that was fighting with Lexx had turned and tried to escape. It seemed really one sided and Victor could not help but feel sorry for the creatures as they ran by the [...]
Claudia completely ignored Damian and pushed her way into the small viewing room. Something had caught her eye. Unfortunately, that something was Keith. “Hello. My aren’t you a cute little human.” Claudia leaned toward Keith and wiggled flirtatiously. “I’m not a little human.” Keith went rigid. Fly, who had been perched on Keith’s shoulder since [...]
Meanwhile in Damian’s on board ‘garden’, Lexx’s dice were having a silent evening relaxing under low trees near the perimeter of the garden that faced out into space.

All of the dice present went silent. Even Stealth lowered her head at the troubling thought. Life with Lexx was all they knew and even though he wasn’t thinking about them right now, they were loyal to him. He fed them, gave them attention in his own way and treated their injuries after battle. Lexx [...]
Chel stared out one of the half dozen horizontal port slits that decorated the wall of the main living area. Stars, stars and more stars. There was nothing more to see. Stars floating in an endless sea of darkness. And when there was something more interesting, they had passed it within moments. Several hours had [...]
“We’re looking for Shira Lexx.” Jayne and Tayne stated simultaneously. “He’s not coming.” Karmine turned back to her dataplate. “You don’t know that, Karmine.” Chel glanced back at Karmine. Anytime anyone said anything about Lexx or rescue, Karmine could be counted on to immediately shoot it down. “No. But I do know that he’s just [...]
