Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Phovos “General Elkay.” “High General Rethais.” Rethais took a deep breath. “I wish it had been under better circumstances. An election win after your retirement, rather than divine intervention. I assume it is divine intervention which prohibits you from returning?” “Even if I could return, I would not be able to serve. Not until the next … Read more
Elkay hesitated as he knocked on the door. The twelve of them had rolled dice to see who would go in and of course Elkay had rolled a one. So there he was, holding a tray of drinks, knocking on the literal door of death. “Fuck off.” That wasn’t the response Elkay expected. The reason … Read more
“What are you two snickering about?” Retvik asked as he entered the dormitory, taking off the heavier parts of his armour. He had just finished his guard duty shift and was looking forward to a bit of piece and quiet but Tenuk and Kohra were both taking up the main living space, giggling at each … Read more
Epani had just finished fixing up the planet when Yisini arrived. The small body had been struck by various volcanic events and had finally settled down enough for Epani to add proper water to the planet. Now that the water had also settled down, Yisini was here to add proteins and genetic material, which would … Read more
Arkay kicked the blanket off his bed then immediately regretted it. His bedroom wasn’t cold, but it certainly wasn’t warm enough for his aching body. Every part of Arkay’s body hurt in a different way, and he couldn’t remember why. As he sat up though, Arkay remembered he had painkillers he could take. Swinging his … Read more
Elkay rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He could not understand what he was hearing. “So you are saying that I have to help babysit a death god for the rest of my natural life?” Levik shrugged. “No. I think she said 20 years.” “20 years is a long time. Especially for the younger members of … Read more
Volt waved cheerily as he watched the young Mag fly off in her plain grey Liset. He had accidentally stumbled into a Grineer mining facility where they had been secretly broadcasting attack patterns and security information to other Grineer ships waiting in orbit, and this poor Mag seemed to be really struggling on her own. … Read more
“This place looks nice…” Levik muttered to himself as he and his two siblings wandered around. Their ship had been somehow teleported into a large field in the middle of nowhere, and they were the only three beings awake to see what was going on. Everyone else inside the now very cramped ship was fast … Read more
Yisini squirmed and wriggled as she was dragged along the ground alongside her two other siblings. Ahead of them, Kinisis strolled through long grass, flicking her hands around playfully as butterflies and moths danced around her. “What are we doing here?” Kenon asked as the deities came to a halt. “Why are we in this … Read more
“I DON’T WANT TO HURT YOU!” Arkadin roared as his friends inched closer, all of them armed with gunstaffs. “PLEASE, JUST LEAVE!” His friends all steadily approached, all of them looking uneasy. Between them, there was everything from grizzled veterans to younglings. While Retvik and Tenuk had been dealing with the gods for decades, Ct’Era … Read more
Shimmering, golden blood splattered across the hills as Kenon bore the brunt of his son’s vicious attack. The Voidborn may have spent millennia preparing for such a ferocious attack, but now he was confronted with the real thing, Kenon was genuinely beginning to feel twinges of panic and fear. Arkadin had not slowed down in … Read more
Arkadin roared almost gleefully as he tore through the planet’s surface, levelling mountains and setting forests ablaze. Each time one of the other deities would try and stop him, he would grab them and bury them under rubble, trapping them briefly. The Thantophor didn’t care any more, he had unleashed his true, destructive ways and … Read more
Arkadin snarled as he finished tearing apart the remains of Yisini’s experimentation labs. He was bathed in blood and smoke, from having destroyed not just the fortress of flesh but the corruption that was festering inside of it. But there was still plenty of work for Arkadin to do. He needed to deal with the … Read more
“Considering we are all going to die in three minutes, you’re all insanely fucking calm!” Talok screeched as the dreadful truth began to sink in. They were trapped inside a moon-sized fortress made of flesh, millions of kilometres away from their friends and family, sitting on a ticking bomb that was due to explode with … Read more
For a moment, Elkay felt safe. He may have been travelling deeper into the facility, back the way he had come, but this time he wasn’t alone. The security had been neutered and he was being flanked by a Vahrga and a Banikan of all things. He was alive, breathing and no longer starving to … Read more
