Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“What are you doing awake?” Retvik had been meaning to get that creaky middle step fixed for years. It had always bothered him whenever he got up for his early morning snacks, and while it hadn’t woken any of his new housemates, the death god lounging in the living room had definitely heard him. “I … Read more
A knock on the door woke Retvik from his slumber. He’d forgotten that he had fallen asleep on the big sofa in the living room, and his friends had all just somewhat moved around him, not wanting to disturb the colossal, armoured, snoozing beast. Thankfully, someone else was up and around to see who was … Read more
“Is my darling Helkas going to be okay? Is he…” Syklas blinked her four bright purple eyes several times as she took a moment to inspect her surroundings. The last time she had asked for help from the tiny team of Decay Lords, they only had one ship, and it was pretty small. But this … Read more
“Heya, mate!” Kayel frowned as he straightened himself out. He and his team were supposed to have been going home, but he was currently sitting around outside the Dessaron team medical bays, as Retvik had been dragged away by the Raptor to discuss something important, and Tenuk and Nyssi were busy dodging fans and talking … Read more
“Tenuk, are you sure all those energy drinks are good for you?” Retvik asked as Xeno Dessaron One prepared for battle. They should have been nervous, but ever since Retvik and his team had taken down Retha Squad One, fear and anxiety before battle no longer seemed to be a thing any more. Sure, losing … Read more
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
