Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“It’s all my fault…” The twelve individuals had been wandering around the vast, dark hall, lit up with small, twinkling lights, for about an hour now. There were piles of gold, silver and gems everywhere, and a banquet had been laid out on the vast table at the centre of the room, with custom meals … Read more
Mimicblade: Hello, Retvik, are you busy? Flamebearer: Not at all. Just locking up for the day. How are you? Mimicblade: Honestly? Glad. And confused as fuck. Flamebearer: Oh. How so? Mimicblade: Alright, you know that UAO Corruption that attacked the Pentathax? Flamebearer: The one that nearly killed us? Mimicblade: Yeah. Mimicblade: So, we detected a … Read more
Tromos stared at the sheet of paper before him, somewhat shocked by what he had just been told. Standing before him were the twelve members of the Great Dessaron Council, who were basically the second in command after the Raptor. If she wasn’t around, they’d take charge of the Great Arenas. And since the Raptor … Read more
Levik sighed to himself as he sat in the hospital bed, going through various banking apps and transferring funds to a new account he had made under a Torr-owned bank that didn’t ask too many questions. Really, Levik was desperate to get out of the hospital, to go anywhere but there, but in reality, Levik … Read more
Elkay gasped for air as his eyes flicked open, only to find he didn’t really need air, and, more weirdly, he was in… one piece. Not two. He was also strapped to a bed, locked inside some sort of crystalline shell and, despite it being nearly pitch black, Elkay noticed he couldn’t access his shadowy … Read more
It was strange, having so many powerful rulers in a single room, but despite the number of people around, there was a lot of agony floating around, and some painfully empty seats. Most of the missing were injured and in the massive hospital next door, but there were a few… more permanently missing cases. Panos … Read more
“Nyssi! Nyssi! Where are you? Nyssi, my love! Please!” Timik had been searching through the remains of the second arena for a while, digging through rubble with his bare hands. The Corruption was being held at bay for a long time. Despite being one of the worst affected areas, the gladiators of the Great Arenas … Read more
“So, what now?” Epani sighed as she watched two glows fade off into the distance. Sini, taking a form closer to a Time Drake than a Life Goddess, had set off directly south, not really knowing what to do with herself now that she was exiled from everything she cared about. The Corruption had headed … Read more
Arkay rubbed tears from his eyes as he sorted through his few remaining belongings, throwing whatever wasn’t worth keeping onto a small fire. Really, he was throwing away his entire existence. He was going to be tortured, turned into Corruption and forced to undo all the good he had done over the millennia, as Epanophovon … Read more
“Arkay?” “I know.” “You see it too.” “Yeah.” “I’m sorry. I’m trying.” “I know. I’m not angry at you.” “It’s my fault.” “It’s not your fault, Sini. You’ve done nothing wrong.” “I’ve done plenty wrong.” “This isn’t your fault though. Just… just do your best.” Arkay and Sini trod carefully as they made their way … Read more
As Kairos continued to hold his time shields, he was somewhat impressed with how everyone else was working together. His three fellow deities had followed his orders exactly, and, in the few places where Corruption had gotten in, it seemed like the mortals were slowly beating it back. In fact, across the whole universe, mortal … Read more
Rethais had initially believed that the Rethan homeworld was somewhat safe, and far enough away from the northern edge of the universe to not be affected, but that belief had been instantly destroyed by a single black droplet that had landed outside the Kentron, the central governmental hub of the Rethavok. The drop had initially … Read more
“It’s still breaking in!” “I know, Sini, I know! I can’t fucking be in twenty places at once!” Arkay had been racing back and forth across the northern hemisphere of the universe, sealing up massive cracks and holes that the Corruption outside was making, as it tried to enter the universe. Sini was trying to … Read more
Tromos had expected this match to be not so difficult, but Retvik was kicking the crap out of him. Sure, Tromos didn’t think his chances of winning were amazing (bookies were saying a 40% chance), but as Retvik picked Tromos up by the neck and threw him across the arena, a quick glance at Tromos’s … Read more
Aesop shrank in his seat, as the rest of the Torrian Parliament got up and started filing out. Panos, the Prime Minister, gave Aesop a disgruntled and annoyed glare, then headed out himself. Before long, pretty much everyone was gone, going back to their normal businesses. Probably insider trading or gambling or something. Admittedly, in … Read more
