Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay Kanuva kept his head down, anxiously peering out of the glass dome above him. Shield Six, the Decay Lord ship he was currently residing in, had had a huge amount of upgrades over the last couple of weeks. The whole ship had been extended, complete with a personal chamber, just for Kanuva to live in. … Read more
Vikalos smiled as he laid back in his seat, pondering existence. All around him as golden sand, made from gold flakes, taken from a universe where rare metals were as common as oxygen and nitrogen. A few meters away, small, shimmering silver waves lapped up the artificial beach, powered by a small generator deep in … Read more
Galyn stood proudly in the cockpit, standing before a fancy table. On the table, a glowing, holographic grid hovered, mostly flat aside from a couple of odd circles and lumps here and there. With a smile, he greeted the three young Decay Lords who had just entered the room. “Huh, you redecorated rather quickly!” Retvik … Read more
Arkay sighed as he rolled over, twisting in his sheets, trying to find a comfortable position. For some reason, he just couldn’t seem to sleep properly. Little things were keeping him up, errant thoughts that simply couldn’t wait until he was supposed to be awake. As Arkay’s arm slipped off the edge of the bed … Read more
“So, let me get this straight. You want to stay here and help these three Decaylings become proper Decay Lords. You would rather spend your time training them and teaching them, than spend your time in retirement with your two closest friends?” Galyn nodded. “You want to remain out here, in the mediocre, rarely navigated … Read more
“You don’t seem right.” The Thantir Two was currently docked at a Life Oasis, where Life Goddesses were busy getting drunk and partying. It wasn’t at all a place for Decay Lords, but it was the only local market around, and the Thantir needed a few supplies that they couldn’t have teleported in. While Itaviir … Read more
“Hey, shush, you are safe, little one. You are just hungry…” In one hand, Gath held a small bottle of mushed up vitamins, mixed with water, sugar and plenty of protein. In the other, he cradled a tiny, wriggling mess, a baby Rethan, barely plated, eyes blinking in the dim light. Not just any baby. … Read more
Litvir, Retvik and Arkay all sat patiently, sipping chocolate milk from plastic glasses, as they watched Galyn pace up and down. The Decaylings had been very much aware that something was going on with their bosses, but none of them were sure exactly what. The way Galyn was pacing though didn’t inspire them with much … Read more
“Ser, I am clearly busy right now.” Rethais rolled his eyes and tutted. The being sitting in front of him, a young Skyan ambassador, looked rather worried, wondering who Rethais was talking to. As the Skyan turned around, their worries turned into genuine fear, as they spotted the godly Void Lord standing in the doorway. … Read more
“I swear, they are fucking with us on purpose!” Arkay had never seen Galyn so angry. He had just been sneaking by to the kitchen when he’d caught a glimpse inside Itaviir’s office, where the three elder Decay Lords were quite busy arguing and clearly not paying attention to the slightly ajar door. Normally, Arkay … Read more
“What have you infected me with?” Kenon was vaguely annoyed with his guards. Normally they were much better at keeping unwanted people out of his throne room, especially when Kenon wanted to be left alone. But today, they had failed their job spectacularly. Standing in the middle of Kenon’s private area was one of his … Read more
Rethais took a deep breath as he stepped into the small office, preparing himself for bad news. He had faced an awful lot of it lately, so really, he shouldn’t have been so worried. But this was a potential health issue, something Rethais couldn’t easily fix. And that was what was bothering him so much. … Read more
“Ugh, I am so bored…” Relkir grunted as he sat by the window, idly tapping on the ultra thick glass pane. Outside, stars were forming, nebulae were blooming and a new universe was being born. This should have been a wondrous moment, but Relkir had seen it all before. It was all the work of … Read more
“Be honest now, when did you first notice this as an issue?” Rethais grunted, trying to remember, so he could give an honest answer. The pain had become noticeable and annoying only a couple of days ago, but there had been some vague pain for a while. As for the visible bruising? He was not … Read more
“You fascinate me.” Litvir had been hovering around for a while, watching Arkay as he studied. Arkay had only partially been paying attention, but Litvir’s most recent statement changed that. “Me? Fascinating you?” Arkay swung his chair round, leaving his books and work to one side. It wasn’t particularly important anyway, not right now. “Yes, … Read more
