Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
The four deities sat around the glass table, awkwardly looking anywhere but at Kinisis. The Allmaker was prancing around, naked as usual, rummaging for packets of biscuits and making sure that everyone had a drink. She’d for some reason also brought a sword along with her, a pretty basic-looking one made out of silver and … Read more
“This place looks very scary and very bad…” Phovos stared out of the cockpit window, out into the depths of space. Ahead of them was a colossal golden gate with electromagnetic gravitational projectors around each side, each the size of a small moon. The projectors stopped anything, from ships to meteors and wandering planets, from … Read more
“It is time.” “Time for what?” The little mechanical creature stirred from its slumber. The voice sounded familiar, as if it was pretending to be someone the creature recognised. “Time to end it all.” “End what?” Dim blue eyes flickered as neural sensors began to reactivate. Sparks of electricity coursed through the creature’s body. All … Read more
Kairos rolled his eyes as his army of necromancers suddenly exploded in a puff of gore and fire. A Kronospast ship had fired upon them, destroying their much smaller ships. Kairos wasn’t annoyed at the fact that they’d all died, he was more annoyed about them dying before he was ready to have them all … Read more
“A long time ago, the universe was created. The universe was fine until intelligent life began to bloom. Life soon began to realise that maybe the universe wasn’t as good as it seemed. Of course, blame was sought. “The Serpent of Space wanted nothing to do with blame. She after all only created things. So … Read more
They’d walked for a long time through the wilderness, being led by a convoy of powerful, muscular Banikans, each one of them probably powerful enough to take on a tank, let alone the Temthan, Ksithan, Kronospast and Skyavok they’d captured. The Banikans were of a multitude of colours, mostly warm hues of yellow, red and … Read more
“What do we know so far?” Kohra shrugged as he watched Timik pace up and down. “Not much. Atmosphere is mostly oxygen and argon, with high amounts of carbon dioxide and oddly low levels of nitrogen. Weather seems to always be clear, with clouds not really forming. I don’t recognise any of the stars in … Read more
Arkadin smiled as the facility swiftly began to burn and collapse. Normally he didn’t enjoy this sort of thing, but this horrible place was one of Yisini’s little ‘secret bases’ where she gathered up huge amounts of genetic material to use in her experiments, so Arkadin was quite happy that he got to destroy everything. … Read more
“I’m getting worried…” Phovos muttered as the three beings hid inside an air duct. “Worried about what?” Kayen whispered. His eyes were closed, they had been for a while. Between the lack of food, the running around in the dark and the things that seemed to be following them, Kayen was exhausted and quickly reaching … Read more
Once again, Kinisis had wandered around her home, only to find her son Arkadin sitting in some weird place, quietly thinking to himself. Today, Arkadin was sitting on the edge of one of the palace chimneys, one that obviously hadn’t been lit in a while. It had taken Kinisis two hours and thirty seven minutes … Read more
I’ve been thinking lately. About everything. About nothing. About some things. A lot of conscious beings think about everything around them. Many will take their observations and turn them into absolutes. After all, there are some absolutes that all beings must follow. A being must be born, must consume matter to convert energy into various … Read more
“That looks bad…” “Trust me, he got the best deal out of the four of us…” Kayen and Phovos glanced up at the fleshy machinery above them, Phovos signing in disbelief and Kayen feeling too embarrassed to ask what the machines were actually doing. Tubes and pipes fed in and out of rose-tinted cells, each … Read more
In the hours (or was it days?) that Kayen had spent wandering around this facility, he had seen some awful things. Freshly cut up corpses. Live births of monsters and beasts. The farming of organs and tissues. The testing of horrible substances, from powerful sedatives to seizure-inducing poisons. The creation and destruction of new forms … Read more
Everything was sticky and horrible, but at least Kayen could move. The little Skyavok had no idea how long he’d been lying there on the ground. He remembered passing out, but that was about it. He’d had some sort of dream about some sort of organic machine trying to suck things out of him. Or … Read more
“This is fucked up.” Everything in the house was coated in a horrible, sticky substance that trapped and entangled anything it touched. Particularly sentient lifeforms, gluing them to the ground and stopping them from moving. More sticky substances blocked out the windows and locked up the doors, preventing any sort of escape from ever taking … Read more
