Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Can they see us or hear us yet?” Arkay asked as he tried to remain calm and steady on the small stool he was sitting on. In front of him, a couple of Decay Lords that he didn’t really recognize were busy setting up a camera and a microphone, so he could talk to a … Read more
“What part of “no contact with the Decayling” does your Life Goddess not understand?” Vikalos snarled as he answered the video call. “You need to back away from this immediately!” The tiny little deity on the other end of the line was visibly shaken, having jumped out of his skin from how loud Vikalos’s words … Read more
“Well, Kinisis is in a foul mood…” Relkir growled as he picked himself up off the floor and dusted himself down. The Life Goddess had been throwing things around for the last few hours, and that had included all the Guardians who had attempted to calm her down. While Atteh’Kus was lying unconscious in the … Read more
“Hey…” The voice in the dark surprised Tahnahos. He had been sitting in the cockpit, minding his own business, keeping an eye on the ship and its maintenance while everyone else was asleep. Kinisis had demanded that her Guardians take her to a specific Life Oasis on the very edge of the new Phoviversal Void, … Read more
As the heavy golden doors slammed shut behind him, Rethais was beginning to think that maybe he should have had this meeting over the phone. Standing at the gold-laced desk, papers scattered everywhere, was a furious High General Kenon, snorting in anger and frustration. “So you want to betray me again.” Rethais took a deep … Read more
Arkay stared wearily at the strange glass walls that made up his liquid cell. He had been bobbing up and down in the clear, viscous fluids for goodness knows how long, but only now had Arkay realised what was going on. These curious and powerful beings were trying to heal him. Why, Arkay didn’t know, … Read more
Rethais sighed as he climbed out of bed and wearily made his way to the bathroom. He sighed some more as he relieved himself then washed his hands and face, then continued to sigh as he wandered back into the bedroom, staring at the empty bed. Lysar was already awake, up and about, he could … Read more
“What do you mean, no?” Itaviir and Vikalos both sighed and rolled their eyes. Neither of them particularly enjoyed dealing with Life Goddesses, normally because they would complain constantly and wish to speak to higher ups until they got what they wanted. The never-ending stream of criticism and wishing to move problems up the chain … Read more
“Could you please explain the plan one last time?” Retvik had been struggling to keep up. After spending a couple of hours in quarantine, where he had been frozen then set on fire then frozen again, he was now helping Vikalos push a large, opaque crystal into a ship in the Thantir loading bay. Vikalos … Read more
Kairos sighed as he gazed into the abyss, watching as clouds of cosmic dust drifted by, as glimmering lights faded in and out of existence. The Whenvern was perched on the very edge the observatory he had built into his new home, where he could silently ponder existence all on his own. Things hadn’t quite … Read more
The screams echoed through the whole ship. All of them coming from one sealed off room. After about five minutes of continued screaming, the pained cries simmered out, only to be replaced with more shouting. “WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?” Arkay panicked as the automated medical bots attempted to close the still open wound in … Read more
“Hello…” Retvik wasn’t really sure how to assess this current situation. The lost Decayling that he and the other members of the Thantir had been chasing unsuccessfully for the last few days had suddenly appeared… in Retvik’s bed. It was just sitting there, hiding in the corner, covered by Retvik’s blankets, pretending Retvik couldn’t see … Read more
“I need you at the Palace, right now.” Rethais took a deep breath, a vague attempt to contain the anger that was boiling up inside him. He was only three hours into the first day off he’d had all month, he was just about to sit down and have a nice meal with the family, … Read more
“Hello, Elkay.” Relkir jumped, immediately drawing his spear and shield, ready to protect his two fellow Guardians. He had simply been accompanying Tahvra and Teekay as they traced a strange signal into this small cave, but now there was a large, fiery being standing in their way. “What are you and what are you doing … Read more
Seimeni tutted as she wandered around the ship, looking for Retvik. Ever since they had sent the new Decayling on that test run, it seemed that Retvik had been avoiding her. Whether he was doing it on purpose or he was just lost on the massive ship, Seimeni wasn’t sure, but she needed to find … Read more
