Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Phovos “See, told you not all Voidborns are bad!” Vikalos smiled as he joined Galyn and Itaviir in the open-air canteen. Occasionally, their schedules would collide, and the three of them would finish their duties all at the same time. “Vikalos, my eternal friend, I already know not all Voidborns are bad!” Itaviir tutted, watching as … Read more
“You are not supposed to be here!” Arkay didn’t find the colossal purple and black Thraki particularly threatening. Yes, Vokulunaax, one of the Six Divine Guardians and the protectors of this fortress hidden within an asteroid field, was absolutely right, Arkay wasn’t supposed to be here. But Arkay had been looking for Sini all day, … Read more
Vekeus was confused. His entire existence, he had been taught that organized groups of Decayons were awful beings. Death gods. Hell gods. War gods. Beings that wanted others dead. His run-ins with the Phantai when he was younger had proved that. The only reason he tolerated the Ventra Expanse was because there was no singular … Read more
Vekeus wasn’t sure what to expect as he entered the Athata Rift and approached Savepoint, the headquarters of the Thantir. Most Decay Lord sects generally worked from a colossal flagship, but Savepoint was a floating island with four smallish ships (larger than Vekeus’s own Celestial Endflame, a typical Voidborn cruiser, but painted in metallic red … Read more
Kuta glanced around the recovery room. They were tired, but they refused to sleep. They had just had surgery while conscious, and while everything had gone incredibly smoothly, Kuta felt weird. Like something was wrong. “How are you feeling, Kuta?” Kuta’s main doctor, Fetiir, was standing in the doorway. They seemed slightly blurry. “Uneasy and … Read more
“AH!” Vekeus didn’t expect the sudden tear through his metallic red arm plating. Sure, his arm was mostly hollow, but he had some flesh in his armoured hands for movement. And something dark and inky had pierced straight through his Voidborn shell. A wall of freezing gas, followed by a wall of flaming heat pushed … Read more
“You, uh, called me earlier than expected.” Most Rethan doctors were either really young or really old. Or, rather, they just looked like it. Doctor Fetiir, a somewhat tall but skinny pale blue-plated Rethan, had been Kuta’s main doctor for pretty much all of Kuta’s adult life, for nearly seventy years, but they had treated … Read more
A knock on the door woke Relkir up, but Gath had hardly moved. To be fair, both of them were hungover. Or maybe still drunk. Relkir wasn’t sure. Probably the latter, since both they and Gath were on holiday, and all they’d really done so far was eat and drink. The previous night, they had … Read more
“By the Light! Why does all the awful stuff happen when the three of us are on shift together?” Litvir asked as he picked both himself and Retvik up off the floor. Standing before them was Elkay, with his wings wide open, seemingly shielding the elder Rethans from… something. The three of them had been … Read more
“BOO!” Retvik nearly jumped out of bed. The whole house had been completely silent, what with Kayel and Nyssi staying at their own homes and Tenuk spending the night at Talok’s place, so Kuta suddenly leaping out from the shadow in the corner and throwing themselves into Retvik’s bed did catch him unaware. “Kuta! You … Read more
“Huh. Didn’t know Retvik was into bondage…” Everyone present reeled back in shock at Eksi’s abrupt and seemingly random statement. Phovos dropped her bowl of food, Elksia blinked in surprise and Elkay started spluttering, having inhaled some of his drink. Once Elkay had coughed up some of the diet lemonade that had gone down the … Read more
“Heya, Relkir, you alright?” It turned out that Gath was very popular among the house fighters of the Great Arenas, and everyone had spent a great afternoon having fun and chatting. Somehow, that afternoon turned into drinking games in the evening, combining into a celebration of multiple things. Also, it seemed that Retvik had more … Read more
“Firstly, it is great to see you, sibling. Secondly… what the actual fuck?” Relkir was well known to not swear much, so that statement caught pretty much everyone off guard. Relkir and Gath had come to the Great Arenas for a private tour, given by none other than the Lightbearer himself. “What?” Retvik replied innocently. … Read more
“Hello, Kyr Raptor, you wished to speak to me?” Retvik used to fear Phovoula, the head manager of the Great Dessaron Battle Arenas. After all, she had given him a job when no one else would, and, for a long time, Retvik knew that if he stepped out of line, he’d end up on the … Read more
“Well, that is convenient!” Gath smiled as they and Relkir lumbered down the path, dragging their luggage behind them. They had just gotten off the bus that had taken them from the space port to the collection of holiday villas they were due to be staying at. “In fact, this has all been rather convenient … Read more
