Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“The first thing we need to do is get you some better-fitting armour…” Galyn grunted as he led Retvik towards a door that seemed a little too small. To Retvik’s surprise, this door led to a ladder that led directly downwards… towards a whole new corridor, running parallel beneath the ship’s main hallway. “This has … Read more
A knock on the door caught Retvik completely by surprise. He had been lying in bed, staring off into space, ignoring the world around him. But this knock meant he had to get out of bed and put some armour on. Or at least a loin cloth. More knocking. This person was quite impatient. “Please … Read more
Arkay yawned as he stretched out his arms and flomped onto the freshly made bed in his new room. While he was utterly exhausted, he was very happy with how the move had gone. Everything had been packed up and sorted out pretty tidily. All Arkay needed to do now was arrange his new home … Read more
“Sorry about the mess…” Arkay muttered as he kicked piles of indescribable things out of the way, clearing space so that the mechanical being behind him could move freely. “Probably should have told you all about this earlier, but… well… I think you six can understand…” Kal was one of the far stranger Decay Lords. … Read more
Tahnahos wasn’t expecting a hug from anyone, especially not Kinisis herself. While all of Kinisis’s other Guardians were their normal, quiet selves, Kinisis seemed genuinely happy and excited to see Tahnahos. “I want to know everything!” Kinisis bounced delightfully as she led Tahnahos to the nearest soft seating area. Phovos hovered somewhat nervously by her … Read more
Arkay grunted as he moved sheets of paper across the table. Considering he had recently blown up a Voidborn fortress, everyone seemed to be treating him rather calmly. Sure, they weren’t being the friendliest of beings, but they were understanding at least. Arkay however couldn’t say the same about himself. Over the last few weeks, … Read more
“They said we weren’t in trouble, but I still feel like we’re in trouble…” Tahnahos, Elksia and Retvik had been sitting in the small waiting room for a small eternity. Or, according to Elksia, about an hour. The only thing in the room keeping the three of them occupied was a water cooler and a … Read more
The little Thantir ship seemed a little too bright, brighter than Arkay remembered. He blinked erratically as he pulled himself up through the small hatch and closed it behind him, only to be immediately greeted by Retvik. “Arkay, what is going on? You were gone for a very long time! The Voidborns discovered me and … Read more
“Why are you doing this, my child?” Arkay froze. The voice rang in the air around him, from no obvious direction. “You do not need to do this, little one.” The voice seemed closer this time. Arkay thought he had been sneaky enough to evade detection. To the point that he had ventured rather deep … Read more
“WHAT?” Seimeni shuddered. She was not used to being shouted at like that. But here she was, standing beneath Decay Lord Itaviir’s agonizing gaze, being verbally torn in two. “Uh… everyone is accounted for except for Decayling Retvik and Amalgam Arkidetelos.” Itaviir was clearly about to shout again, but held his breath. In his head, … Read more
“Well that was easy!” Elksia whispered as the tiny Thantir ship latched on to one of the large, crystalline spikes of the Voidborn stronghold. “Didn’t notice us at all!” “If you say so, Elksia…” Arkay was almost breathless as he shakily let go of the ship’s controls. Despite all four of them essentially being deities, … Read more
The tiny Thantir ship floated awkwardly, anchored to a large lump of cold rock. They were drifting very slowly towards a vast, crystalline mass, a gigantic cluster of white gems and gold trims. All around them, Voidborn guards loomed, disintegrating anything that got too close. “I’ll be honest, I didn’t think there would be THAT … Read more
“THEY ARE ATTACKING US NOW?” Vikalos roared as he grabbed several Decaylings and pulled them to safety. An explosion had shattered parts of the cargo bay and fires were slowly making their way down the ship. As soon as the Thantir began to shoot back though, the Voidlord army immediately scattered and disappeared. Only a … Read more
“You have been awfully cold over the last couple of days, are you alright?” Arkay grunted, glancing around the corridor. This was the first time he and Retvik had been alone lately, but Arkay really wasn’t in the mood for any sort of communication with other beings. “I’m fine.” “Please do not lie to me.” … Read more
“So that is basically what you both do as work?” Tahnahos asked as the four beings headed back to the ship. “You just stand on guard for Life Goddesses?” Retvik nodded as he fumbled around for his keys. Most of his belongings these days were kept inside a single, battered backpack, and his keys would … Read more
