Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Good news, we are alive. Bad news, the ship is basically dead. Or at least large parts of it are.” The left hand side of the Thantir Two was mostly fine. The right hand side had been heavily damaged. Most of the living space was now uninhabitable and, thanks to a failure in the heating … Read more
Phovos frowned as she peered into the fridge. It was filled to the brim with food and drinks, but none of it was anything she wanted. This particular fridge would magically refill itself with whatever the being opening it wanted. However, the magical refilling powers were meaningless if Phovos didn’t know what she wanted. “You … Read more
A small shudder was the only precursor to the violent blast that rocked the whole ship. Debris from the remains of a passing minor planet had struck not just the Thantir Two but the small Decay Lord-run pit stop they had been anchored to, causing a few too many failures. From one of the observatories, … Read more
“You’re basically in charge again, yet you still work from this tiny office?” Rethais was literally just about to leave his office when the pink and purple cloud appeared. After a couple of seconds, the cloud stopped expanding and thickened into a real form, that of the Allbirther, the serpentine Goddess of Life. But also … Read more
Relkir heard his bedroom door creep open, and someone step inside. The softness of the footsteps, plus the scent and mind patterns, all suggested it was Teekay. Of course it was Teekay, Teekay was the only other Guardian allowed in Relkir’s room, aside from Relkir. But something seemed a bit off in the way Teekay … Read more
The team of Decay Lords were finally taking a break, after hours of ship repairs. While Arkay was in the kitchen, preparing drinks and sandwiches for everyone, Litvir decided that now was probably a good time to get some questions off his mind. After all, he was the newest to all this god-based stuff, but … Read more
“Alright, I’m officially bored now.” Teekay and Relkir watched as Tahnahos paced up and down, trying to work out what to do with himself. Between the six of them, they had exhausted pretty much everything to do. They’d played the three video games they had to death, they’d gotten annoyed at the one single board … Read more
“Ugh, I really, really fucked up.” The tiny pod was barely big enough for one occupant, yet there were four seats wedged into it, two of them empty. This pod was going straight to the Decay Lord stronghold known as Deathven, and normally the trip would be instantaneous, but apparently there was some delay in … Read more
“They have been in there a while.” “They are packaging up two deities so they can be slingshotted across the multiverse and sent to a care home so far away that numbers lose meaning. Of course it will take some time. But yes, they have been in there a while.” Litvir and Retvik both sighed … Read more
“I SAID NO!” Kalis braced himself as he was blown out of the room, into the hallway and through the door opposite. He had clearly struck a nerve, but he didn’t think Arkay would lash out like that. With a snarl, and ignoring the fact that he had just accidentally broken into Litvir’s room, Kalis … Read more
“Wait, Death’s Heaven is real?” Galyn nodded. “It is.” “Is it… as the name suggests, heaven?” “Yes.” Kalis’s eyes widened. He had come to speak to this ancient Decay Lord about the worrying thoughts in the back of his mind. Years of abuse and programming that Kalis was worried could make him suddenly snap. But … Read more
“Hey, you busy?” Arkay grunted as he wiped spit from his mouth, then reached for a towel to clean his face. That was the third time he had thrown up horrible gold ooze and now he was getting a little concerned. “Arkay?” Standing by the door was Kalis, the little half-Life Goddess that had saved … Read more
“Ugh, I wish they’d stop already…” Tahvra tutted as he handed the controller to Teekay. “They’ve been at it for hours.” Teekay and Tahnahos both peered over the back of the sofa, looking for what Tahvra was referring to. Behind them, Relkir and Phovos were sparring, while Akah was acting as a referee. But really, … Read more
Galyn’s eyes clicked open, scanning the environment before Galyn himself was properly conscious. Once he was certain it was safe to move, Galyn slowly sat upright, trying to work out where he was and what had happened. Immediately though, one word struck his mind: Failure. The Voidborn entity had proven to be too strong. Not … Read more
Kallus cowered in the corner, hiding behind piles of destroyed cargo, terrified and completely unsure what to do. What had been the first peaceful moment he’d had in decades had abruptly turned into carnage, as his Master had stumbled across him and his target both just… talking to each other. As soon as Lord Theocydes … Read more
