Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“So, you are… our new… representative…” Athu clearly was upset. Between his missing hand, the death of Imperator of the Endless Stars, the injuries of the other Imperators and the fact that, because everyone else had been down, he’d forced the otherwise antisocial Akah to deal with other races, the fact that a Lanex had … Read more
“Hello, Theocydes, what a pleasant surprise!” Litvir smiled as he approached the strange, silver Voidborn. “Hello, Litvir, are you all busy?” “No, no, just shutting down main operations for the day. It has actually been quieter than normal. In our line of work, that is almost always a good thing!” Theocydes grunted. “Oh, so you’ve … Read more
Theocydes mused to himself as he increased the speed of his ship while he travelled through the rough patch between the Ventra Expanse and the Kinigian Wilderness. Normally, he’d stop by the denser parts of the Athata Rift, but that was better used for west to east travel, not south to north. Theocydes was heading … Read more
“Welcome, my children!” The Panelix teleported into the grand hall, showering everything in red glitter. After a few moments, the Whenvern teleported in too, but he just sat down on his throne, not saying much. Epani wandered around the room, inspecting each of the twelve new deities. Well, they weren’t quite deities yet, Epani still … Read more
“It’s all my fault…” The twelve individuals had been wandering around the vast, dark hall, lit up with small, twinkling lights, for about an hour now. There were piles of gold, silver and gems everywhere, and a banquet had been laid out on the vast table at the centre of the room, with custom meals … Read more
Mimicblade: Hello, Retvik, are you busy? Flamebearer: Not at all. Just locking up for the day. How are you? Mimicblade: Honestly? Glad. And confused as fuck. Flamebearer: Oh. How so? Mimicblade: Alright, you know that UAO Corruption that attacked the Pentathax? Flamebearer: The one that nearly killed us? Mimicblade: Yeah. Mimicblade: So, we detected a … Read more
Tromos stared at the sheet of paper before him, somewhat shocked by what he had just been told. Standing before him were the twelve members of the Great Dessaron Council, who were basically the second in command after the Raptor. If she wasn’t around, they’d take charge of the Great Arenas. And since the Raptor … Read more
Levik sighed to himself as he sat in the hospital bed, going through various banking apps and transferring funds to a new account he had made under a Torr-owned bank that didn’t ask too many questions. Really, Levik was desperate to get out of the hospital, to go anywhere but there, but in reality, Levik … Read more
Elkay gasped for air as his eyes flicked open, only to find he didn’t really need air, and, more weirdly, he was in… one piece. Not two. He was also strapped to a bed, locked inside some sort of crystalline shell and, despite it being nearly pitch black, Elkay noticed he couldn’t access his shadowy … Read more
It was strange, having so many powerful rulers in a single room, but despite the number of people around, there was a lot of agony floating around, and some painfully empty seats. Most of the missing were injured and in the massive hospital next door, but there were a few… more permanently missing cases. Panos … Read more
“Nyssi! Nyssi! Where are you? Nyssi, my love! Please!” Timik had been searching through the remains of the second arena for a while, digging through rubble with his bare hands. The Corruption was being held at bay for a long time. Despite being one of the worst affected areas, the gladiators of the Great Arenas … Read more
“So, what now?” Epani sighed as she watched two glows fade off into the distance. Sini, taking a form closer to a Time Drake than a Life Goddess, had set off directly south, not really knowing what to do with herself now that she was exiled from everything she cared about. The Corruption had headed … Read more
Arkay rubbed tears from his eyes as he sorted through his few remaining belongings, throwing whatever wasn’t worth keeping onto a small fire. Really, he was throwing away his entire existence. He was going to be tortured, turned into Corruption and forced to undo all the good he had done over the millennia, as Epanophovon … Read more
“Arkay?” “I know.” “You see it too.” “Yeah.” “I’m sorry. I’m trying.” “I know. I’m not angry at you.” “It’s my fault.” “It’s not your fault, Sini. You’ve done nothing wrong.” “I’ve done plenty wrong.” “This isn’t your fault though. Just… just do your best.” Arkay and Sini trod carefully as they made their way … Read more
As Kairos continued to hold his time shields, he was somewhat impressed with how everyone else was working together. His three fellow deities had followed his orders exactly, and, in the few places where Corruption had gotten in, it seemed like the mortals were slowly beating it back. In fact, across the whole universe, mortal … Read more
