Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Levik shivered briefly as he stepped into the Sandblast Arena, a small, open battlefield with nowhere to hide, nowhere to run. On the opposite side of the area was a recurring gladiator known as Viktor the Vorrible, a warrior sponsored by the Vrekan government who often tested newbie gladiators from other races, normally in close-quarters … Read more

“So, why are you all so obsessed with Life Goddesses?” Sini asked as she followed Soulblade and his two minions off the ship and into the depths of the Shimmering Blade. As they walked, patrolling Decay Lords would glance at Sini, lower their heads and utter various things, anything from curses about finding Sini beautiful … Read more
“We need to assist them!” “Lightblade, slow down.” “They sent a distress flare!” “Lightblade, listen!” “We have to go right now!” “PHOS, STOP!” Lightblade finally did as he was told, mostly because using his actual name rather than his codename always caught him off guard and made him pause. But also Soulblade and Voidblade were … Read more
“You… want to approach that massive ship?” Vexer asked as he slowed the ship down. “Yep!” Sini smiled. “You want to approach the massive ship full of Decay Lords, with the not-so-friendly name The Shimmering Blade emblazoned down every side?” “Yep.” “You… know we’re supposed to protect you, right? And advise you and assist you, … Read more
“Hey, babe, you busy right now?” Litvir’s eyes lit up as he spun around to greet the being who had approached him. “Arkay, dear! No, I am not busy! Is something troubling you?” Arkay glanced around awkwardly, making very well sure that no one was paying attention to him and Litvir. Picking up that Arkay … Read more
Everything had been utterly quiet at Savepoint. Not a single person had come by, looking for assistance, for the last 80 hours. Which, considering the duties of the Thantir, was a damn good thing. It meant everyone could just chill out, and the only people really working were Kal, who had offered to be on … Read more
“So, how were your winter celebrations?” Dalosisaar asked as everyone sat themselves down for the Twelve Anew report meeting. “I think I am still hung over…” Maresia muttered as she rubbed her head. “Too much to drink. Turns out, being deified doesn’t stop you from getting drunk, just makes you capable of drinking more.” Valkisa … Read more
“Damn, Kuta and Retvik are at it again…” Tenuk muttered as he played with his bowl of cereal. He was feeling hungry only in his stomach, his mind hadn’t decided he was hungry yet, so that made actually wanting to eat something difficult. “They’re in love. As Sini praises. They’re fine!” Nyssi smiled. She was … Read more
“Oh, hello Elkay…” “Hello, Arkay. Did not expect to see you here too…” Underneath the main island of Savepoint were several small caves. The biggest cave was only really accessible by Kal or the smaller teleporters, and contained some strange Life Goddess machinery that no one was allowed to touch, because it provided both gravity … Read more
Kuta watched from the sleeping quarters, a good distance away, as Ret was clearly setting up a picnic on the beach. The eight new Decaylings currently were on break, having finished study time, and as soon as they’d finished, they’d all somewhat gone their separate ways for a bit. But Kuta had been asked to … Read more
Relkir normally hated the large mansion that the High General traditionally lived in, and avoided going there at all costs, but since it was Macromera, Relkir had somewhat been forced to stay for a couple of days. Macromera, at least for Rethans, was always a family get-together. Three days of festivities. Gifts and a light … Read more
“I will be blunt, I do not understand this idea of celebrating days getting longer or shorter… But I did buy everything on the list, as directed!” For reasons only Kaytee and Arkay understood, Vikalos had been dressed up in some strange attire. He, Galyn and Itaviir had returned from their shopping trip a few … Read more
Levik was surprised to see Psiksi at work. Yes, Levik was training to be a gladiator, but he was aware that the next few days consisted of a lot of holidays for a few races, and that today was the first day of Macromera, a Rethan and Skyan holiday celebrating the days getting longer. Most … Read more
“Hey, guys, do we have any plans for the next few days?” Retvik blinked, having just woken up. Sure, he was in a loving relationship with two cute people, but he wasn’t used to spending all night with both of them in a bed that was way too small, and waking up with Arkay sitting … Read more
