Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Rethavok were not known for their hospitality, but they did occasionally travel, which meant they required hotels. However, in Palaestra, there was only one Rethan hotel, and it was especially bland, only really meant to serve as a place to either rest or meet other Rethans on business trips. Today though, the Short Stop Hotel … Read more
“Come in!” Retvik took a deep breath as he stepped inside the Raptor’s skull-lined office and sat down on the stool in front of her desk. Phovos seemed pretty pleased, but as she tried to figure out the expression that Retvik was pulling, she realized something wasn’t right. “Hello, Raptor. I have a request to … Read more
“Lightbearer, I challenge you to battle!” Retvik glanced up to see who had just spoken to him. He didn’t quite recognize the voice, mostly became it came from the internal microphone of a gladiator helmet. But, weirdly, not his own. This was doubly strange because he had literally just finished a match where he’d beaten … Read more
“So, how you feeling now?” Kayel looked up at Nyssi, who was sitting opposite him. Between them was a flickering campfire with a grill running across it. Slices of Thragger flesh rested on the grill, slowly cooking away. “Kinda embarrassed, to be honest. Didn’t think the answer to my unfulfilled Phantasma bloodlust would be to … Read more
“Welcome to the Nest.” The convoy of ships slowed down to a crawl as they exited the shimmering, golden portal, which snapped shut behind them. Docked on the top of the Thantir Two wasn’t just the sister ship Thantir Three, but the narrow, striped ship known as Shield Six, which belonged to the other half … Read more
Arkay had hoped to have been able to take a quick break, but as soon as he had managed to lie down in bed, he’d received a frantic message from Epani, begging him to deal with a Voidborn that was hovering just outside the northern entrance to the universe. So Arkay grabbed his favourite gunstaff … Read more
“I’m going to make you an offer. You give me back my fellow deities and I promise I’ll kill you quickly and cleanly.” Ahkron eyed the creature that was currently trying to hold him hostage. It was this universe’s death god, a pitiful excuse for a deity. However, the last time Ahkron had seen it, … Read more
Ahkron hovered above the universe’s external boundaries, watching it silently. This universe made little sense. There had once been a vast, life-filled universe here, millions of light-years across. What he was currently looking at was barely the size of a small galaxy, with no actual galaxies in it, just clusters of stars and planets. It … Read more
“Alright, while I am gone, Relkir is in charge.” There were a few tuts and grunts among the six Decaylings. Litvir didn’t like that. “Is it because he’s a Rethan like you?” Tenuk asked. “No, it is because, before he died and changed his name, Elkay here was in charge of 2 billion other beings … Read more
Ahkron smiled to himself as time faded away across this tiny little universe. It was barely a million years old, but its pantheon of deities had been hard at work making a myriad of different mortal species, each one mostly the same but with a different tail and head, and all sorts of religions and … Read more
Rethais watched as their advisors all filed out from the grand hall, having just finished a long and arduous discussion. The Rethavok had recently discovered a vast amount of gold and platinum beneath one of their major cities, but old, forced treaties with other races had stopped them from taking advantage of these resources. Currently, … Read more
Litvir rubbed his eyes as he entered the cockpit. Thankfully, the Thantir Two’s self-repair systems weren’t damaged, they’d only been taken offline, so the automated glass repairs had finished up quite quickly. Everything electrical though was still a bit iffy, and the heating was currently off, meaning the ship’s average temperature was about 263 Kelvin. … Read more
“WE’RE UNDER ATTA-” Teekay’s telepathic message cut out as a storm of spears penetrated the hull of the Thantir Two, concentrated on the cockpit. This was followed by a crashing sound as a golden entity entered through the tattered hole where the cockpit’s main viewing pane used to be, a being that immediately turned to … Read more
“Wow… I can… see why you three enjoy that…” “What do you mean by ‘you three’?” “You, Sini and Epani.” “Oh.” It had taken a long time and a lot of alcohol to get this far. Arkay had wanted to claim his prize and Kairos had wanted to just get it all over with, but … Read more
It had taken way too long, but the Thantir Two had finally arrived to tow Shield Six to the only place in the sector that was open. They would have gone to the closer Pleasure Mall, but after a handful of baby universes all suddenly disappeared, as well as a few larger ones being destroyed, … Read more
