Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“They said we weren’t in trouble, but I still feel like we’re in trouble…” Tahnahos, Elksia and Retvik had been sitting in the small waiting room for a small eternity. Or, according to Elksia, about an hour. The only thing in the room keeping the three of them occupied was a water cooler and a … Read more
The little Thantir ship seemed a little too bright, brighter than Arkay remembered. He blinked erratically as he pulled himself up through the small hatch and closed it behind him, only to be immediately greeted by Retvik. “Arkay, what is going on? You were gone for a very long time! The Voidborns discovered me and … Read more
“Why are you doing this, my child?” Arkay froze. The voice rang in the air around him, from no obvious direction. “You do not need to do this, little one.” The voice seemed closer this time. Arkay thought he had been sneaky enough to evade detection. To the point that he had ventured rather deep … Read more
“WHAT?” Seimeni shuddered. She was not used to being shouted at like that. But here she was, standing beneath Decay Lord Itaviir’s agonizing gaze, being verbally torn in two. “Uh… everyone is accounted for except for Decayling Retvik and Amalgam Arkidetelos.” Itaviir was clearly about to shout again, but held his breath. In his head, … Read more
“Well that was easy!” Elksia whispered as the tiny Thantir ship latched on to one of the large, crystalline spikes of the Voidborn stronghold. “Didn’t notice us at all!” “If you say so, Elksia…” Arkay was almost breathless as he shakily let go of the ship’s controls. Despite all four of them essentially being deities, … Read more
The tiny Thantir ship floated awkwardly, anchored to a large lump of cold rock. They were drifting very slowly towards a vast, crystalline mass, a gigantic cluster of white gems and gold trims. All around them, Voidborn guards loomed, disintegrating anything that got too close. “I’ll be honest, I didn’t think there would be THAT … Read more
“THEY ARE ATTACKING US NOW?” Vikalos roared as he grabbed several Decaylings and pulled them to safety. An explosion had shattered parts of the cargo bay and fires were slowly making their way down the ship. As soon as the Thantir began to shoot back though, the Voidlord army immediately scattered and disappeared. Only a … Read more
“You have been awfully cold over the last couple of days, are you alright?” Arkay grunted, glancing around the corridor. This was the first time he and Retvik had been alone lately, but Arkay really wasn’t in the mood for any sort of communication with other beings. “I’m fine.” “Please do not lie to me.” … Read more
“So that is basically what you both do as work?” Tahnahos asked as the four beings headed back to the ship. “You just stand on guard for Life Goddesses?” Retvik nodded as he fumbled around for his keys. Most of his belongings these days were kept inside a single, battered backpack, and his keys would … Read more
Lysar smiled cheerfully as she carried a massive cauldron of food to the table and plonked it down on the heavy cork mat in the table’s centre. Around the table were more beings than Lysar had expected, but she always cooked too much, so it wasn’t a problem. “Dinner is ready, eat up, kids!” Everyone … Read more
“Can I keep him please, dad? Pleaseeeeee?” Rethais grunted as he threw his briefcase on the floor and chucked his cape vaguely at the cape hook, then grunted some more as he had to pick both items up and put them away properly. He hadn’t even properly looked at whatever the fuck his son Trismit … Read more
Retvik hated this office. It was too plain. Even by Rethan standards. Considering that he was standing in front of a powerful Decay Lord, it felt strange that this room was so simple. “Please, sit down.” There were two empty stools. Retvik sat on the one closest to the Decay Lord, to not seem rude. … Read more
“HEY GUYS!” Elksia squealed as she stomped into the observatory, where Retvik and Arkay had been quietly sitting and studying. “WHAT’S UP?” “What’s up?” Arkay replied back, looking confused. “You… you were gone for fucking ages, that’s what’s up. I thought you went to make yourself a sandwich?” Elksia smiled, then pulled out a very … Read more
“Elksia has been gone a while…” Retvik grunted as he flicked through a large pile of notes. Between his Decayling lessons and his work guarding ungrateful Life Goddesses, Retvik hadn’t really had much time to do any studying on his own. Retvik wasn’t alone in this regard. Most of the Decaylings here were in the … Read more
Kohra gasped for air as he pulled himself out of the water fountain, trying not to choke on dirty, endlessly recycled water. It must have been late as there was no one around and the lights on the edge of the fountain were the only things guiding him to safety. Everything else was pretty damn … Read more
