Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
The colossal, black, reptilian being that was all tail, claws and fangs hovered ominously in the centre of Savepoint, demanding an audience from someone in particular. “Souldrainer, Litvir Kaldynik, formerly Litvir Kaldieridos, give yourself to me, and I will leave your fellow Thantir alone.” Whatever this being was, it was clearly a threat, which was … Read more
Relkir panicked for a moment as they woke up from one of the best sleeps they’d ever had. They weren’t in their own bed. They were sharing with someone else. Or, well, they were? It was a very, very big bed, Relkir couldn’t reach either edge if they stretched their arms out as far as … Read more
It had taken Saahro a little too long to reach Savepoint, the new Thantir base, but he had finally made it, finishing off a long journey by crashing into the landing area. In front of his three old bosses and two new bosses. Saahro was an odd being. He was draconic, a wyvern-like being with … Read more
Spiritdrainer: Hello. Souldrainer: Hello, little brother, how are you? Spiritdrainer: Well, all things considered. I apologise for both not contacting you much and the fact that I have only sent you bad news as of late. Spiritdrainer: The Allbirther has some sort of ‘plan’ for helping poor Arkay but according to pretty much all the … Read more
Gath tapped on the table, lost in thought, minding their own business. They had admittedly not had a good day. A day filled with medical appointments. None of them good. It turned out, being shot 30 times while on an adrenaline-fuelled rampage protecting the innocent as a young adult was not good for your health … Read more
“They’re not going to try and stop us or anything, are they?” Litvir shrugged as he started the engines of the ship. To his right was Teekay. Behind him were Elkay and Elksia. Souldrainer’s Plight, a small fighter ship that had been a parting gift from the Phantai to the Thantir, had been adapted somewhat, … Read more
Being large, heavy creatures, Rethan cities were built to be very wide and not very tall. After all, when the average height of a Rethavok is 2.5m, it gets expensive building skyscrapers that can contain said large beings. The roads in Rethan cities though were even wider, designed mostly for foot traffic, public transport and … Read more
“Hello, dearies, how are you all?” Retvik was not at all amused. The Allbirther had just ruined his favourite sofa with her colossal, serpentine body. Thankfully, Sini was not all slimy, but she normally left some sort of strange, floral smell wherever she went. “I would be happier if you knocked on the door, like … Read more
“So, let me get this straight, because I don’t quite get this…” Tenuk was tired. He’d just finished his shift and was about to go and get something to eat, but he was currently being held hostage by Teekay, who should have been going to bed now. The Thantir currently worked on five hour shifts, … Read more
The Twenty Below Cafe was built and catered for Rethans that worked in the Below Twenty Legions or for the Legion of the High General, but since it was the middle of the day, the place was pretty much empty apart from one table in the corner. Relkir was very thankful for this, because they … Read more
The General of the 1000th Legion grunted to themselves as they entered the Kentron, the centre of the Rethan government. Gath Tsoriou was an utterly colossal Rethan, standing at 3.2m tall and covered in cream and brown plating, with nearly black skin. They were a soldier-caste Rethan, not normally someone who was even capable of … Read more
Glitter, glitter, burning shimmer. Distant hums, distant suns. Not quite infinity, but more than one. Short red burns, long blue burns. They all burn bright. Never forever. On and on but not forever. Not like love. Not like family. They burn brighter. No matter where I am. No matter where you are. One day, the … Read more
“It is strange, no longer being a selfish asshole.” Retvik glanced at Litvir, surprised by his sudden words. The two Thantir leaders had been sitting quietly on the small pier on their own for a while. The overall mood was rather sour, since, a few hours prior, a young Voidborn had come to the Thantir, … Read more
“Hey, angel!” Teekay beamed as he brought in several bottles of drink, several sheets of paper and a tape measure. He had just finished his secretarial shift at the Purification Centre, which was what the Thantir were currently calling the work areas of their new base. The base itself was now called Savepoint, a name … Read more
“Theoglossa is the language of the Gods, derived from an ancient, strange, hellenistic other universe, far beyond our knowledge. It is currently untranslatable by mortals within the universe of the Four.” – Efay Anglosson, A-Class Skyavok Archivist Arkadin had been hard at work, tidying up the universe. While everything was still working correctly, he’d picked … Read more
