Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Glitter, glitter, burning shimmer. Distant hums, distant suns. Not quite infinity, but more than one. Short red burns, long blue burns. They all burn bright. Never forever. On and on but not forever. Not like love. Not like family. They burn brighter. No matter where I am. No matter where you are. One day, the … 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
For once, Relkir was glad that he had the ability to mimic other beings’ abilities. He was currently in the middle of cutting a hole in the middle of a large, black wall, so he and his team could access an abandoned Voidborn vessel, and was doing so with fire powers he had borrowed off … Read more
Galyn paced up and down the cargo bay, where his six new Decaylings were lined up, tallest to shortest. Behind him were two of his three trusted Decay Lords, with Seimeni currently busy keeping an eye on the autopilot. Each of the Decaylings had done alright so far, dealing with basic ship duties and working … Read more
Relkir sighed to himself as he wandered up and down the aisles of this nonsensical supermarket. The Thantir Two was currently docked at the Miassivio Pleasure Mall, the biggest and only mall in the Shadowvern Straights, a piece of the Periuniversal Void not too far from the Thantir’s normal roaming grounds. Things had been rough … Read more
Litvir had been sitting at his desk for a while now. He was supposed to be reading through some guidelines and terms and conditions when it came to Time Drakes wanting to register as Decaylings or Decay Lords, as a favour to his dear friend Retvik, but on his screen was a video game character, … Read more
Retvik stepped into his office without knocking on the door first, but as he looked around the room, he did wish he had in fact knocked. Purring on the sofa, was resident Decay Lord and Life Goddess Seimeni, legs apart and rather content. Sitting at his desk as if nothing happened was Litvir, although he … Read more
“Hey, may I have a word with you?” Decay Lord Retvik looked up from what he was doing. He had been helping his friend and partner Phovos fill in some paperwork, allowing her to study as a Decayling despite technically being a Life Goddess. At the door, fellow Decay Lord Litvir was standing awkwardly, an … Read more
“Hello, Arkadin.” Arkay blinked several times, trying to work out where he was. From the smell of the air, he could tell that he was inside a metal ship, having been abruptly torn from his fledgling universe, the one he and his siblings were in the middle of building. “Hello…” “I have some questions for … Read more
Ten beings stood around a cramped table, all of them feeling rather uncertain. “We came back as soon as we realised what happened…” Retvik cautiously explained. “We had no idea that Epani was sending us away as a distraction so she could kill Kinisis. And we certainly had no idea that Arkadin was involved in … Read more
“Galyn! I cannot find Lady Kinisis!” Relkir barged into the office, weapon in hand, only to find that the room was empty. This was supposed to be a shared office, where both Relkir’s boss, the Allmaker, and her best friend and Decay Lord Galyn both did various paperwork stuff. So the fact that the room … Read more
The walls were beating. Echoing. Banging. As if they were concussive instruments, playing in their own, steady rhythm. “Of course it was you…” Kinisis’s words bubbled as she began to reform inside the protective sphere that contained her heart. “Why am I not surprised that you are here to finally end me?” Arkadin had been … Read more
Epani took a long, deep breath as she approached the glimmering oasis. High above the universe sat what was essentially a hotel for the gods, where visiting Life Goddesses from other universes would pop by, eat luxurious food, drink vast amounts of rich wine and relax by stunning, crystal clear waters. All the while, they … Read more
Arkadin opened his eyes for the first time for a while. He had been travelling blindly through the toxic planet that supposedly contained the heart of Kinisis, and he had finally made it to a chamber that wasn’t flooded with fluids that emitted so much radiation, they could kill a mortal being in seconds. The … Read more
“Yisini, are you busy?” There were screams echoing from the small, dingy laboratory. While the surfaces and glassware were all clean and sterile, the floor was slightly sticky, and the windows were frosted up, the corners peeling slightly. A weird, sickly sweet scent drifted from the back room, where the majority of the screams were … Read more
