MK4 Tales from the Space Between Universes

“No!” “No?” “I refuse!” Galyn tilted his head to one side, staring down at Arkay. The four Decay Lords ere standing around the navigational panel, discussing the various shopping list of potential jobs they could do. The original plan was to explore the local system, but various bounties and job opportunities had cropped up, and … Read more

A stunned silence rippled through the cockpit. Galyn had just started the movement engines of the Thantir Two, expecting pretty much nothing to work. Instead, everything was working as intended, and the engines were purring away, ready to go. In fact, they sounded far quieter than normal. “Alright, which of you three did this?” Retvik … Read more

“Hi.” “Hiya!” Arkay wasn’t sure what to write. He hadn’t expected his new best friend to reply so quickly, and had intended to use the five minute pause to think of something to say. It wasn’t so much that Arkay had nothing to talk about. He had lots on his mind. He just didn’t know … Read more

“Everything has been checked?” “Yes.” “Double checked?” “Yes.” “Triple checked?” “Yes.” “… Quadruple checked?” “Yeah.” “… Quintuple checked?” “Uh… not everything. But most of it has been quintuple checked.” Galyn shrugged, crossing his arms as he looked up from a large pile of sheets of paper. “Eh, good enough. Normally only go to quadruple checks … Read more

Litvir watched as Arkay sneaked out of his room, tiptoed down the hallway and slip into the kitchen. After a minute of sandwich construction and three minutes of grilling action, Arkay reappeared holding a few too many cheese toasties. He immediately started sneaking back to his room, at which point Litvir decided to ask him … Read more

“Hey, congrats on becoming a Decay Lord finally!” Arkay read the message a couple of times, before deciding that the message probably wasn’t meant for him. He’d been a fully fledged Decay Lord for at least a couple of months now, so the message was clearly out of date. That being said, the name of … Read more

Arkay groaned as he collapsed in the captain’s seat in the cockpit, staring out the window. Outside, one of the other Decay Lord ships was preparing to leave, its engines warming up and its name, Zetana Seven, plastered on the side. Filling the open cargo bay doors on the docked side were two heavily built … Read more

“Alrighty, should all be fixed. Gonna take quite a while for the ship to finish its self repairs, but otherwise you’re all good to go!” “Uh, thank you… You didn’t need to…” “It’s fine, mate. Least we can do, us Decay Lords gotta look out for each other. See ya round!” “Uh, bye, thank you…” … Read more

“I just finished fixing tha-” Retvik was unable to finish his sentence as he was rudely thrown against the outside wall of the Thantir Two. The hit caused Retvik to buckle, and shudder, his recovery time being far too low. Standing above him was a familiar face, that of a vengeful Voidborn, clad in gold … Read more

The flood of shouts and panic had very abruptly disappeared, replaced with a stunned, eery silence that almost made no sense. The atmosphere, what little there was, glowed bright orange, flames flickering across its edge. But the source of those flames was completely immobile, held in place by sheer will alone. “Uh… a little help, … Read more

Leaves and vines exploded everywhere as Galyn violently burst out of his regenerative cocoon. After taking a moment to remember how to be alive and conscious, the Decay Lord took a long, deep breath, tasting and smelling his surroundings. Beneath the pungent, acidic smell of his own regenerative fluids, he could sense old carpet, singed … Read more

“Lookin’ for somethin’?” Arkay nodded, his eyes glued to the vast wall of confectionery. He had come into this little void kiosk looking to do some much needed shopping, but the brightness and sweetness of this corner of the kiosk was almost hypnotic to him. All Arkay had seen in a long time had been … Read more
