Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Phovos The being had attacked without warning, tearing a hole through the side of the ship Shield Six before immediately terminating the engines and leaving everyone drifting and trapped in the dark. Thankfully, Kal had strong infrared vision, allowing them to still see. That didn’t mean that they had a handle on the situation though. Whatever … Read more
“Litvir…” Litvir’s communicator buzzed, playing a short tone Eksi didn’t recognize. However, Litvir didn’t pick it up. He was currently busy giving Eksi a massage, as an apology for having bailed on him the other day. Their fellow Decay Lord and resident Life Goddess Seimeni had picked up some sort of transmission and completely freaked … Read more
Despite having been a gladiator for the entirety of his adult life, Retvik had never been to the fancy suites rented out to rich viewers. Sure, he had watched battles himself, but house fighters had their own viewing area, closer to ground level, and even then, it was mostly there for observation and educational reasons. … Read more
Retvik, Nyssi, Tenuk and Kayel all sat in their private training area, none of them really knowing how to feel. There were excited beings wandering around, hoping to catch members of the team Xeno Dessaron One and get interviews and selfies with them. Not just normal beings in the public areas, but other gladiators, challengers … Read more
Retvik took a shallow, almost unwanted breath, then regretted it, an unfamiliar taste in his mouth. One he hadn’t experienced in a long, long time. He was lying in a bed in the recovery bay for his team, a screen to his right, three beds to his left. As Retvik sat up, his eyes shifted … Read more
Occasionally, someone would ask for the Holy Four to all meet up in one location, but the choice of location today was rather odd. Sure, all four deities could call each other and arrange a group meeting, but normally the one to make the call would be Sini or Epani, and normally it would be … Read more
“Hello Tenuk, you wanted to…” Nyssi didn’t finish her sentence, watching in awe as something reptilian but not a Thraki soared around the small, closed off arena. This place was supposed to have been a small stadium for bloodless arena battles, mostly beast-catching stuff, and Nyssi had recently been in it during a stunt to … Read more
Kayel was exhausted. Ever since his team had accepted the challenge from Retha Squad One, the four of them had been training non-stop. Kayel in particular had been practising more efficient shadowjumping, something that was both physically and mentally draining. Doubly so if Kayel was shadowjumping while carrying someone else. But he’d made a lot … Read more
Nyssi, Tenuk and Kayel all glanced nervously at each other as Retvik paced back and forth, his tail swishing angrily from side to side. They’d just finished a Capture the Flag match against a Temthan team, and had ended it swiftly despite the hideously bright lighting set up to prevent Kayel from shadow-jumping. Instead, Tenuk … Read more
Kayess-En, Kass for short, was a huge being. Standing at nearly 3m tall, she towered over most, even her fellow Rethavok, and had the strength to back herself up. As the leader of Retha Squad One, Kayess-En had lead her team to victory over and over, to the point that they were considered one of … Read more
Most Vohra didn’t really use names. Since Vohran nests were all telepathically linked, actually calling out a name was somewhat needless, and only higher ranked Vohra and their Vahyra Queens would have some sort of name, which was used when speaking to non-Vohra races. However, the Vahrga, the adult males, that fought in the Great … Read more
The Thantophor was in a funny mood. He was supposed to be going out, doing things, watching over his domain, spreading decay and entropy across existence, but he was currently sat in his tiny apartment, staring at a screen, and had been doing so for a couple of hours now. A single voice call that … Read more
Arkay stared at his laptop, surprised that it was still on and running. This was actually the first time he’d been home in a couple of days, having spent the last day or so rushing around doing all the chores he had failed to do while he was ill. Thanks to his new, heightened strength, … Read more
“So, you guys got kidnapped again.” Retvik grunted as he sipped awkwardly from a small can. Like most Rethavok, Retvik very rarely drank caffeine, because it gave him headaches. But he was still recovering from some sort of amnesia-inducing sedation, while at the same time trying to catch up with his training schedule. His team … Read more
“You’re a mess.” Phovos had been sitting alone in the Decaylings-only observatory when a pair of yellow eyes lit up the darkness. She had planned to spend the evening with her close friend Retvik, but the other Decay Lords had dragged him away, clearly about something urgent, and now she was on her own. The … Read more
