Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
The party was calming down, and most folks were heading off to bed. But Galyn had been waiting a long time to catch Arkay on his own, and, finally, the old, battered death god had wandered off, sitting on the pier and staring off at the dark skies. Really, Galyn was dreading this conversation, but … Read more
Levik grinned from ear to fluffy ear as he collapsed on the sofa of his new apartment. Sure, it was a tiny little place, but Levik didn’t care. The land lord wanted a pittance for it, since they believed the place to be cursed, but they didn’t ask any questions, and the location was good. … Read more
“Kyr Litvir, can I speak to you, privately, please?” Litvir sat up and turned to who was talking to him. Admittedly, Litvir was ever so slightly tipsy, but he was on his own right now, keeping an eye on things while everyone else partied. “You do not need to call me ‘kyr’, deary. Is something … Read more
Retvik smiled weakly to himself as he stood in front of the entirety of the Thantir. Lined up before him were eight new Decaylings, waiting to be given their codenames and inducted into the sect somewhat officially. Gathered to Retvik’s right were the older members of the Thantir: the three Tattered Navigators and all six … Read more
In hindsight, Theocydes probably should have checked his messages sooner, because, just as his ship landed at Savepoint, after doing a vital task for the Thantir, he’d noticed that he’d received a message from Litvir, telling him to return immediately and that he wasn’t safe. And Litvir had sent that message BEFORE Theocydes had arrived … Read more
Relkir didn’t mean to frown, but they did as a timer went off, reminding them to take their medication. Sure, they were finally out of hospital, and had been staying at Gath’s parents’ place for the last few days, and things overall were pretty good, but Relkir was concerned that they were now in the … Read more
“So what does being a Decay Lord entail these days?” Thassalin asked as he fiddled around with his physical form, ignoring the fact that Nyssi was giving him looks. Now the old Time Drake was free from the confines of a universe he had little power in, Thassalin’s strength had returned in its entirety. And … Read more
Arkay couldn’t help but smile like a lunatic as he wandered around Savepoint, trying to come to terms with everything that had happened. He was alive. He was free. And he had been reunited with his two blood-bound partners. But on top of that, his friends were all alive, and they were all now divine … Read more
Aster had just headed back to the Hall of the Gods, located at the fortress at the centre of the universe, to pick up his shield that he’d accidentally left behind. The lights weren’t on, everyone had left a few hours ago, but Aster had border patrol duties on Sunday, and he wanted to grab … Read more
“Is this real?” “I assume so, yes.” Arkay turned over inside his glass cell, where he was currently being quarantined. Thankfully, he was somewhat comfortable. He had a bed, a blanket, a pillow and some water. On the other side of the glass cell was Litvir, who had been watching over Arkay the entire time, … Read more
Itaviir didn’t like the fact that he wasn’t the tallest person in the room. It turned out, the old Allbirther, when at her ‘relaxed size’, was actually half a meter taller than him. And whenever she got angry and opened up her cobra hood or summoned a pair of wings, she was even larger. That … Read more
“So, uh, you’re not dead.” “Nope.” “And you’re a divine being now.” “Yep.” “You do realize we acted on your will instantly, right?” “Yep. Even though you ignored the two week waiting period.” “And you’re not bothered?” “Nope.” Panos looked Aesop up and down, rife with confusion. “Alright, what happened to you?” “Isn’t it obvious?” … Read more
The mood on Savepoint was tense, for a myriad of reasons. The appearance of eight new Decaylings, one of whom was a Time Drake, another being a Voidborn, had been startling enough, but the old Allbirther suddenly arriving at the Thantir’s base, cradling a capsule of black goo that she claimed was the Thantophor had … Read more
Things crash-landing into the parking lot at Savepoint were annoyingly common, but the moment that the strange, serpentine Time Drake hit the ground, dropping a strange, crystalline canister, things became rather… chaotic. The Thantir instantly identified the Time Drake not as a Time Drake, but as a Life Goddess. Sini, the old Allbirther, had collapsed … Read more
The Unending Ancient One should have been happy. He had done his duties, he had corrected a mistake and he had obtained a rare treasure. An Oull had offered itself to him, for him to study. Of course, he had started vivisecting it, to see what he could learn, but the Oull hadn’t been happy … Read more
