Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
The catacombs of Thre-Vretania were vast, empty, and normally rather calm. In the distant past, these water-ridden caves had been sanctuary to early Rethavok. The darkness had been used as cover not just to spawn, but also as a source of protection and safety from other races. In modern times though, the catacombs had been … Read more
“What ya doing?” “Rethanius, I told you to leave me alo-” Letharus blinked, then rubbed his eyes, gazing over the small, toothy creature sitting beneath him. “Oh. Kallus. The Void Lord let you off your chains?” Kallus grinned slyly, nuzzling his way between Letharus’s work and Letharus himself. He was completely in the way and … Read more
“Tahnahos, you shouldn’t be snooping around down here!” Phovos protested as the little Kronospast tugged at her arm. “We are supposed to be on duty, protecting Kinisis!” Tahnahos paid no heed to his fellow Guardian’s concerns. Instead, he continued dragging Phovos deeper into the golden palace, down several stairwells, past a myriad of Rethan guards … Read more
“Arkay, are you alright? You have been sitting up on the roof for hours.” Arkay glanced behind him to see who was speaking. He hadn’t really been paying attention, all he’d heard was a couple of muttered words, his mind occupied elsewhere. The Thantir Two had stopped at the tiniest of tiny interstellar pit stops, … Read more
Kinisis clapped her hands together with glee as she and her loyal guardians stepped out of her ship and onto the crystal landing pad. Standing to one side, waiting to greet them, was Kairos, the Whenvern and Dragon God of Time. “Oooh! You redecorated!” Kinisis beamed, giving Kairos a quick hug. “Completely renovated, actually…” Kairos … Read more
Litvir stared at the ceiling, absent-mindedly trying to sift through the vast amount of thoughts rushing through his head. He was lying in a large, luxurious bed, covered in soft, velvet pillows, completely nude aside from his natural plating and a thin, silky wrap covering his waist, the only thing keeping him vaguely decent. This … Read more
“What are you doing up there?” Letharus rolled his eyes as he moved away from the console and the sheets of jet black paper. Scrawled on them were long strings of numbers, as well as code words, noting down what he had seen on the various scanners. “My job, Rethanius!” Letharus snarled, answering without speaking. … Read more
Galyn originally didn’t want to interrupt, but he had been watching Arkay work for a while now, and he was pretty sure that the little Decayling was in need of a break. Arkay had been cautiously and repeatedly measuring various distances and making all sorts of calculations, yet he didn’t seem to be making much … Read more
“Ugh, if I had known, I would have signed up for something else! The whole point was to explore the omniverse and shit, not dick around in the local neighbourhood before returning home for the holidays!” Tahnahos was in a bad mood and it clearly showed. Throughout his entire shift, monitoring navigation, he had been … Read more
Litvir should have been minding his own business, but he couldn’t help himself. He had headed into the kitchen to make himself some dinner, but much to his surprise, someone else was already in there. Not someone Litvir expected. “Why are you staring?” Galyn asked as he whisked unknown ingredients in a bowl. “Why are … Read more
Galyn grunted as the to fledgling Decay Lords burst into the room behind him. He was in the middle of going through flight apparatus with Arkay, making sure he as learning the ship’s instruments correctly, so this sudden interruption was not particularly nice. But since Retvik and Litvir both seemed rather concerned, he knew better … Read more
The third observatory on the Thantir Two was weirdly small and, more weirdly, very rarely used. Since most of the ship was now empty and free from more bossy Decay Lords, Litvir and Retvik were now sitting around in the third observatory, wondering why it had been locked the entire time. As far as they … Read more
Kanuva kept his head down, anxiously peering out of the glass dome above him. Shield Six, the Decay Lord ship he was currently residing in, had had a huge amount of upgrades over the last couple of weeks. The whole ship had been extended, complete with a personal chamber, just for Kanuva to live in. … Read more
Vikalos smiled as he laid back in his seat, pondering existence. All around him as golden sand, made from gold flakes, taken from a universe where rare metals were as common as oxygen and nitrogen. A few meters away, small, shimmering silver waves lapped up the artificial beach, powered by a small generator deep in … Read more
Galyn stood proudly in the cockpit, standing before a fancy table. On the table, a glowing, holographic grid hovered, mostly flat aside from a couple of odd circles and lumps here and there. With a smile, he greeted the three young Decay Lords who had just entered the room. “Huh, you redecorated rather quickly!” Retvik … Read more
