Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Hungry.” That was Arkay’s first thought as he woke up. He was technically always awake, but his physical form needed a good eight hours of rest every 20-25 hours. Plus, sleeping was nice. Arkay hadn’t slept that well though, and since he had just woken up in an unfamiliar location, it made him feel even … Read more
“Don’t answer it…” There was a knock on the door. Whoever it was had only knocked a couple of times and it was clearly a polite, soft knock. But the occupants were currently busy. Well, not busy, but lazy. And not exactly well-dressed. “Elkay, please don’t answer it…” “Teekay, they will not go away otherwise.” … Read more
Arkadin clicked happily as he cleaned up an entranceway, a cosmic hole in the side of the universe. These entranceways weren’t that common, they normally produced by extrauniversal debris poking through the thin membranes of the universe’s side. And normally they would be dealt with by Kenon, the Void Lord and the universe’s main dealer … Read more
They had travelled mostly in silence, but none of the crew minded. The silence allowed them to come to grips with what was going on. They were sharing a ship with a death god, one who wanted to lead them somewhere. The majority of the crew were not trusting of this strange being. While it … Read more
It was outside, hovering about 100m in front of the main cockpit. It was just floating there, oblivious to the fact that it was in the vacuum of space and that the Rethan vessel had its weapons pointed at it. “Hey, can we talk?” It’s voice was… oddly humble. Everyone present knew what the being … Read more
“Ser, you have to see this…” General Somenion hated those words. A cliché jumble of confusion with a hint of fear and panic. They were unfitting words for any Rethan, let alone a soldier under Somenion’s command. Never had those words been followed by something positive. “What is it, soldier?” Somenion grunted, getting up from … Read more
“You came back!” Kayel was, amazingly, walking around, up and about. He may have broken his shoulder after an unfortunate confrontation with an angry goddess, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t use his legs. He had been pacing up and down the private hospital room, worrying about things, when a yellow-armoured Skyavok knocked on the … Read more
“Operator, you have messages, are you not going to respond?” Ordis had been watching Volt do void fissure missions for hours and concern was budding in the Cephalon’s mainframe. Volt had blatantly ignored Ordis every other time he had tried to slow him down and stop him from doing more missions, but now Ordis had … Read more
Kinisis sat in the grass, fiddling with a cup of tea. She was having a nice little picnic with her daughter Yisini, but something was bothering her. A sudden interruption to her thoughts. To solve that interruption, she snapped her fingers, causing three coloured clouds of smoke to appear. The first two clouds, a blue … Read more
“Arky!” Kairos was in a very… swirly mood today. His current form was much more Time Drake rather than Time Dragon. A soaring, serpentine creature, all wings and tail and no legs. He sailed over Arkadin, then twisted round him, brushing his strangely fluffy tail against the Death Lord. Arkadin was just sitting on a … Read more
With a thunderous crack, the delicate, stained glass ceiling collapsed, dropping a rain of shrapnel down on the unwitting creatures below. A wave of panic rushed over everyone present as they tried to run for shelter. This was supposed to be a peaceful event, the meeting of leaders, and already it had turned into chaos. … Read more
“What were you doing in theeeeere?” Yisini hissed as she sat on a massive, cushioned, golden throne, floating pointlessly on the edge of space. Kairos glanced behind him, into the darkness of the Void Spaces, the domain of their father, Kenon. The Void Spaces weren’t a true void, they were just particularly dark places where … Read more
Everything down there glowed. But at this moment, something new glistened in the darkness. A strange glow that lured the other dark beings in. The creatures edged around the glow, curious and confused, but also rather hungry. They had no concept of time, but knew that they needed to eat. The divine being in front … Read more
“Retvik?” Gath sat up in bed, reaching for the blankets. A cold breeze had sneaked in somehow, and a frigid brush against Gath’s uncovered leg had snapped him out of his slumber. The rest of the bed was empty. Recently empty. “Retvik, are you in the bathroom?” There was no reply. Normally Gath’s beloved partner … Read more
Teekay gently opened the door, not sure what to expect. He’d been away for over two weeks, far longer than he had anticipated. It turned out his former colleagues really, really needed his help, as few people knew how to properly deal with a deity. Teekay didn’t know either but he at least had prior … Read more
