Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “Hey, congrats on becoming a Decay Lord finally!” Arkay read the message a couple of times, before deciding that the message probably wasn’t meant for him. He’d been a fully fledged Decay Lord for at least a couple of months now, so the message was clearly out of date. That being said, the name of … Read more
“Let me get this straight. We have zero candidates who wish to run for High General?” The circle of Rethans all nodded. Present were the most powerful and most respected of the Rethan elite, each one a heavily armoured, highly decorated General. At the head of the table was Rethais Rethianos, the former High General … Read more
“Hey, Tahnahos, can you give me a claw with something please?” Tahnahos grunted as he looked up from his games console. To his surprise, the being asking for assistance was Tahvra. Despite being a Vohra, a normally very social being, Tahvra had always considered himself incredibly independent and rarely asked for help. “Sure, what do … Read more
Arkay groaned as he collapsed in the captain’s seat in the cockpit, staring out the window. Outside, one of the other Decay Lord ships was preparing to leave, its engines warming up and its name, Zetana Seven, plastered on the side. Filling the open cargo bay doors on the docked side were two heavily built … Read more
“Hai!” The tiny voice caught Rethais off guard. He had been… examining the scene ahead of him, not sure what to make of it. The Allbirther had invited him to visit the “Grand Advisory Hall”, in order to discuss what his new job would consist of, but the location was… off. Despite being on a … Read more
“Alrighty, should all be fixed. Gonna take quite a while for the ship to finish its self repairs, but otherwise you’re all good to go!” “Uh, thank you… You didn’t need to…” “It’s fine, mate. Least we can do, us Decay Lords gotta look out for each other. See ya round!” “Uh, bye, thank you…” … Read more
“I just finished fixing tha-” Retvik was unable to finish his sentence as he was rudely thrown against the outside wall of the Thantir Two. The hit caused Retvik to buckle, and shudder, his recovery time being far too low. Standing above him was a familiar face, that of a vengeful Voidborn, clad in gold … Read more
The flood of shouts and panic had very abruptly disappeared, replaced with a stunned, eery silence that almost made no sense. The atmosphere, what little there was, glowed bright orange, flames flickering across its edge. But the source of those flames was completely immobile, held in place by sheer will alone. “Uh… a little help, … Read more
Leaves and vines exploded everywhere as Galyn violently burst out of his regenerative cocoon. After taking a moment to remember how to be alive and conscious, the Decay Lord took a long, deep breath, tasting and smelling his surroundings. Beneath the pungent, acidic smell of his own regenerative fluids, he could sense old carpet, singed … Read more
“Oh. Uh. Hello…” Phovos couldn’t help but stare. She had been sitting at the table on the balcony for about half an hour now, a full twenty minutes before her date was due to start. On the table in front of Phovos were two plates, two glasses, some cutlery, an unopened bottle of water and … Read more
“Lookin’ for somethin’?” Arkay nodded, his eyes glued to the vast wall of confectionery. He had come into this little void kiosk looking to do some much needed shopping, but the brightness and sweetness of this corner of the kiosk was almost hypnotic to him. All Arkay had seen in a long time had been … Read more
“Good news, we are alive. Bad news, the ship is basically dead. Or at least large parts of it are.” The left hand side of the Thantir Two was mostly fine. The right hand side had been heavily damaged. Most of the living space was now uninhabitable and, thanks to a failure in the heating … Read more
Phovos frowned as she peered into the fridge. It was filled to the brim with food and drinks, but none of it was anything she wanted. This particular fridge would magically refill itself with whatever the being opening it wanted. However, the magical refilling powers were meaningless if Phovos didn’t know what she wanted. “You … Read more
A small shudder was the only precursor to the violent blast that rocked the whole ship. Debris from the remains of a passing minor planet had struck not just the Thantir Two but the small Decay Lord-run pit stop they had been anchored to, causing a few too many failures. From one of the observatories, … Read more
“You’re basically in charge again, yet you still work from this tiny office?” Rethais was literally just about to leave his office when the pink and purple cloud appeared. After a couple of seconds, the cloud stopped expanding and thickened into a real form, that of the Allbirther, the serpentine Goddess of Life. But also … Read more
