Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“So, uh, is anyone else concerned?” “Always. But I take it you are concerned about something in particular, Aster?” Not all of the Twelve Anew were present in the Great Library Just South of the Centre of the Universe today. The female members of the Twelve Anew were at a Okilyf Party, some sort of … Read more
“May I have a word with you in private please, Elkay-En?” Elkay-En glanced at the Decay Lord towering over him. Litvir wasn’t that tall a member of the Thantir, he was actually somewhat in the middle, but Elkay-En was rather short, and he didn’t like the fanged Retha-like being. “What have I done wrong?” Elkay-En … Read more
“So you lot just… do this on the regular?” Vekeus was confused but rather satisfied. He was currently in the “cushion room”, which was pretty much what it sounded like. A room full of cushions. Apparently, it used to be the old classroom used for the Thantir’s last set of Decaylings, but since the Thantir … Read more
Elkay-En was somewhat surprised how much he’d had to write over the last few hours. He thought becoming a Decay Lord was mostly about physical tests, he had no idea there were written ones too. But after a three hour “baseline exam”, Elkay-En was finally free and feeling pretty damn angry at himself. He’d glanced … Read more
The naming ceremony had been brief, and, admittedly, not everyone had turned up. In fact, Litvir, Kuta and the two Retviks had returned after the ceremony and had barely noticed that they had an extra member or two until Litvir had asked why there was an extra Voidborn wandering around. But really, Elkay-En, now given … Read more
“Alright… Voidborn form or mortal Retha form?” Vekeus mused to himself as he landed his ship at Savepoint. After some thought, he decided that he wanted to use his old mortal form. Mostly because he could see people outside and they seemed to be celebrating around a bonfire. Stepping out of his ship, Vekeus locked … Read more
“Shush, shush, babe, you’re safe. It’s alright…” Arkay ignored the scratches up and down his body and kept his arms wrapped around Kayel, who wasn’t quite awake but was trembling and shaking, clearly terrified of something unseen. Kayel’s panic had started without any warning. While his eyes remained shut, he had clawed at anything and … Read more
“Huh. Nice place.” “Yeah, it’s been here for a while…” Thyel was surprised that there were only two other ships parked at the Shield and Stave pub. Being the end of the year-string almost, he expected there to be patrons, getting drunk and merry. But the two ships, one of them, Thyel was certain it … Read more
Thyel’s heart was racing as he exited his own ship and leaped into combat. He’d spotted the ship from a distance, seemingly on fire and definitely being attacked by several Voidborns and immediately, Thyel’s protective Beh’en instincts kicked into gear. The first Voidborn hadn’t even noticed Thyel or his ship, and this allowed Thyel to … Read more
“Alright… hold it… yep… a tiny bit hotter… a bit more… perfect!” Arkay pulled back, then clapped his hands together with glee as he and Kayel managed to fuse together the components that had fizzled out. It had taken days of work, but he, Kayel and Phovos had finally worked out how to fix the … Read more
Silverbolt: So everyone here is called Teekay? Telecharm: Yep. Shocktrooper: thats why its called too many teekays Shimmershock: Trust me, I only recently found this out, and these guys are all mad. Silverbolt: And most of you are in the same sect? Telecharm: I’m not in a sect. Telecharm: I live in Deathven Sector Beta. … Read more
“Wow, this place is… not what I expected!” Litvir exclaimed as he gently and somewhat awkwardly landed his ship in the little car park. “What were you expecting?” Kuta asked. “Not a fancy little wooden cottage! Honestly, this place has a bit of a Savepoint feel to it. I like it!” The ship landed and … Read more
People were trying to stop Rethais as they marched through halls and crowds, so they could talk to Rethais and congratulate them on their win, but Rethais didn’t want to talk to them. They had their mind set on one thing only, and that was to get to the executive box where Rethais’s allies had … Read more
The air was cool and crisp and the audience of the very basic Sandblast Arena were awfully silent as the two competitors entered from opposite sides. Neither fighter today was an official gladiator. Instead, they were political leaders, the rulers of two powerful races, appearing in this arena to prove that one side was more … Read more
“Tomorrow.” “Tomorrow?” “Tomorrow!” Rethais grunted, hiding their confusion. Panos had challenged them to battle, despite being a rather frail old Torr. Torr themselves weren’t weak, but Panos was definitely old, and the old Torr was definitely not as strong as one of the prime specimens for the Rethavok. Rethais was, genetically, one of the best … Read more
