Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
While the deities all had homes scattered across the universe, Epani had specifically laid claim to the universe’s absolute centre, where she’d built a vast fortress with diamond walls and a complicated security system, complete with a moat filled with acid. There was only one way into the crystalline castle, and that was via a … Read more
“Fuck off, Ret-” Phovos spun around to see who was knocking on her door. With everything that had been going on lately, things on the Thantir Two had been rather busy, especially since they’d kinda picked up some new allies. While it had been lovely seeing Akah and Tahvra again, and Kal were a perfectly … Read more
“So, what now?” Galyn’s office was normally only ever used by Galyn, but since he was currently unconscious, the rest of the Thantir Decay Lords were using his office as a makeshift meeting room. Currently present were Retvik and Litvir, the two former Decaylings Galyn had helped raise to Lordhood, Lady of Decay Seimeni, a … Read more
Arkay was supposed to have been meeting the other deities for a meeting about mortal matters, but Epani had sent Arkay yet another panicked message about yet another entity appearing at the northern entrance to the universe and had demanded that he deal with it immediately. Considering the recent intruders they’d had lately, this was … Read more
“Retty!” Retvik did not expect the welcome he got as he returned home. Nyssi, Tenuk and Kayel had all rushed out to hug him tightly. Clearly they were worried sick about him. The large black and red van behind Retvik slammed its doors shut, before driving off, its occupants not sticking around to say goodbye. … Read more
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
