Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“So we have to… kill a small sun?” The eight Thantir Decaylings were currently sheltered inside a large, icy dome, with walls at least 30cm thick. Akah was doing his best to make sure that the walls remained intact as they were steadily being clawed away by the horde of blackened monsters outside. Everyone else … Read more
“Hm, I think we need a better way of getting rid of these bodies…” What had started off as a trickle of corrupted beasts had turned into a constant onslaught, to the point that corpses were piling up the ice walls Akah had made, and he’d had to angle them outwards to stop the hordes … Read more
You are not alone. Fight until you eight are alone. Kill everything corrupted, or be corrupted yourselves. The eight Thantir Decaylings gathered under the tiny wooden shelter, reading the small, holographic message laid out in front of them. Cruel, cold winds blew by, and there was a scattering of rain. The skies were a permanent … Read more
Kairos could count on one foot the number of times he’d had to physically get between Epani and Sini to stop an argument, but today, that number had increased by one and now he needed both feet. Normally, the two Life Goddesses would argue like civilized beings, but Epani had outright lashed out at Sini, … Read more
“Vikalos?” Vikalos glanced up to see Elkay standing in front of him, looking rather upset. “Is something wrong, deary?” Elkay sighed, then nodded. “I want to speak to my fellow Decaylings in private, without anyone overhearing. I need to get some things off my chest and I… I do not want you elders to hear. … Read more
Theocydes froze in place as he entered The Shield and Stave, a small Decay Lord pub within the Ventra Expanse, and saw the being behind the bar. Vekeus, his fellow Adogtic Voidborn friend, bumped into Theocydes’s back, not expecting him to stop. “Hello!” a friendly Decay Lord waved from the bar. “We don’t normally get … Read more
Talok leapt to her feet as consciousness returned to her. When she’d fallen unconscious, she’d been attacked. While Talok had powerful telepathic and telekinetic powers (as well as an array of other, more secret abilities), there was little she could have done when the room she was trapped in filled with sedative gasses. One sharp … Read more
The occupants of the two Lanexian ships gazed in wander as they watched a strange, tantalizing display of colour unfold before them. Neither ship was really supposed to be there, in the presence of the twisting and turning lights, but an interspace chase had led them to the strange sight. The Coldspear was a ship … Read more
Things were quiet on the Shimmering Blade. The Phantai were taking some time off to celebrate the demise of the Crystal Doom, as they hadn’t seen a single Voidborn ship in the last two evs. Meanwhile, the Thantir were keeping to themselves. Their eight Decaylings were soon to do their Decay Lord Trial, and the … Read more
“Huh, looks like they have changed things again…” “They keep on doing that…” The package was surprisingly large, considering what it contained. Inside were forty metal bands, each with several indicators on them, individually marked. Also present was a LOT of documentation and information. Information which Retvik, Litvir, Vikalos, Galyn and Itaviir were all reading … Read more
“I want to know EVERYTHING you are about to do to me, Little Bitey!” Parts of that sentence bothered Kuta more than others. Mostly the fact that the yellow-plated Skyavok sitting on the bed in front of them had just called Kuta a nickname they had not heard in decades. “I, uh, take it that … Read more
Today had been a pretty productive day for the Thantir Decaylings. They had done some combat training with some of the lower Phantai, they’d done problem solving activities with Galyn and they had just finished a short mental resistance training session with Litvir, who seemed way, way too happy to just, well, still exist and … Read more
Phovos had been waiting around for a while now, not really sure what she was waiting for. To the point that she wasn’t too surprised when Elkay Athanasion, the All-Ksa of the Skyavok, stepped through a shadow, then collapsed in the seat opposite her. “You look rough.” “I feel rough…” Elkay muttered as he rubbed … Read more
Skyavok folklore was mostly rather bland, what with the Skyavok having had to rebuild from scratch on multiple occasions, dragging themselves away from the cliffs of extinction. Most of their ancient history was lost to time, and what little they had was mostly oral and rarely written down. Just keeping themselves alive had been difficult, … Read more
“I broke it, I broke it, I broke it…” Teekay was somewhat lost, but it didn’t matter. As far as he was concerned, he was already dead. He should have run sooner. He shouldn’t have agreed to this trip. He should have just locked himself in his apartment, like he always did on diplomatic trips. … Read more
