Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“… And once I have broken its heart, I will tear its heart out as my final act of terror and revenge. How does that sound, Letharus?” Letharus blinked a couple of times, then wiped the drool from his mouth. He hadn’t realised he had been dribbling, but apparently this was a common side-effect of … Read more
Warm, orange lights flickered on as a hiss echoed down the narrow room. Rows of opaque, glass pods lined one wall, while beeping consoles lined the other. Right at the very end of the room, a viscous, sticky liquid began to ooze onto the floor, dripping from the bottom of the penultimate glass pod. After … Read more
Arkay put his bowl of half-eaten pasta down and stared at the damn Voidborn standing in front of him. Theocydes seemed rather pissed off, and it wasn’t too surprising as to why he was fuming. The last time these two had met, Arkay had blown him up blasted him off into the darkness, and it … Read more
“Did not know you were afraid of needles…” Retvik ignored Litvir’s comment and kept his eyes focused on the steel tray, not daring to look away. “You don’t seem so pleased yourself!” Arkay snorted as he got up from his seat. He had been helping Galyn by mixing various vials, then placing them inside a … Read more
“Too much cake?” Arkay groaned, holding his stomach. It was technically midnight, but time was often a flimsy concept on the Thantir Two. There was an internal date system that vaguely corresponded with time both with nearby Life Oases and Deathven, but it didn’t make much sense to Arkay. As far as he was concerned, … Read more
Arkay groaned a little as he laid down in his bed. The day was supposed to have been a quiet one, but everyone had insisted on doing stuff. Not too much, just enough for the day to have been kinda full. He’d stayed up late playing games, then woken up late in the morning, only … Read more
Retvik yawned as he stretched his arms out, then wrapped one around Litvir. Pieces of armour were strewn around the small room, alongside bedsheets and various pillows, all of which should have been on the bed but had been knocked off in the heat of the moment. “That was fun…” Litvir muttered. Both of them … Read more
“Arkay, may I ask you a question?” Arkay was minding his own business, swapping between watching a video and keeping an eye on the autopilot, when Retvik decided to interrupt the peace and quiet. Not wanting to seem mean though, Arkay glanced up and nodded. “What’s up?” “I…” Retvik stuttered then frowned. “I wanted to … Read more
Litvir grunted, idly daydreaming, not really paying attention to the world around him. He was supposed to have been watching various scanners and trackers, keeping an eye out for any stray messages or distress signals. But Litvir currently had a lot on his mind right now, too busy worrying about himself. Sometimes, Litvir’s past got … Read more
“So you disguised as… the one Rethan who helped me kill you, so I would not kill you?” Retvik was still very confused. Arkay was waggling his little clawed fingers in front of Retvik’s face, helping him get rid of the Life Goddess’s influence. Most of the fog had cleared from Retvik’s mind, but the … Read more
Calohxaa paused before opening the front door, peering at herself in a little nearby mirror. She was in a bit of a mess, so she took a moment to tidy herself up. A quick brush of her hair, a hasty cleanse of her hands and a little brush down and… wait, what was she doing? … Read more
“Get up! I said get up, you animal!” Galyn grunted as he rolled onto his back, away from the chandelier that had very nearly just fallen on him. Shards of glass coated the cold, stone floor, getting trapped in the various pink shag rugs. This Life Goddess had been throwing Galyn around for at least … Read more
Retvik was struggling. Not only was he not sure where he was going, but he wasn’t sure what he was doing. The very nice Life Goddess that was now his new boss had told him to kill Litvir. But did he want to do that? Not really. Yes, Litvir was a menace to existence, he … Read more
Litvir leaped around a corner as a massive fireball exploded behind him. The flames trickled down across the formerly cold brick wall, before fizzling out completely. On the one hand, Litvir was being chased down by one of the few beings who somewhat liked him. On the other hand though, Litvir was thanking his lucky … Read more
While the castle’s exterior had been rather soft and pink, the interior was far more brutal in design. Cold, grey brick illuminated by dim, pink flames just floating against the walls. At least the floor was rather cosy, consisting of pink, fluffy shag rugs scattered all over the place, in no real order or fashion. … Read more
