Adaptation Overload
“Alright now, deep breaths.”
Relkir did as he was told, taking long, drawn out breaths. But Relkir was currently not in reality. He was trapped within his own mind, lying in a field of fluffy grey clouds, staring up into a pitch black sky littered with small, red points of light....Read More »
Mass Fainting
“Hey, uh, General Retvik, is Relkir going to be alright?”
Retvik grunted as he glanced down at Teekay, the almost silver-skinned Skyavok that had been hovering outside this bedroom door for a while now. “Yes, Relkir will be fine. But please do not call me ‘General’, I have no right to...Read More »
Inconvenient Message
“So… you have brothers?” Sini asked as she inspected the large pile of bones and teeth that Arkay had brought to her.
“Technically? Yes. But that’s not important.” Arkay had been trying to get Sini to focus on the task at hand, but she was insisting on asking all sorts of...Read More »
Sudden Madness
Green, slightly corrosive goo covered the walls and the room’s occupants as Galyn exploded back to life, pulling himself out of his healing cocoon. After taking a few moments to remember how to be alive and conscious, the elder Decay Lord scanned his surroundings, trying to work out where he...Read More »
Stabilizing Failure
“I hate this body…” Tah clicked and crackled as his old, battered form jolted back into life. His current body was currently lying on the ground, since Tah’s Krana-brain wasn’t powering it, but considering what had just happened with Galyn going insane and attacking everyone, they needed someone that Galyn...Read More »
Third's Rage
As Retvik made his way down to the cockpit, he was feeling very unsure about things. In his hand was Galyn’s personal communicator, which he had been scanning through for the last ten minutes. The plan was supposed to have been simple, to call Galyn’s old companions, his other Thirds,...Read More »
Brutal Insanity
Litvir wasn’t quite sure where his lower intestine was. To be fair, he didn’t particularly need it any more, he hadn’t eaten solid food in at least a month, but it was currently missing, having been torn out by the rampaging beast that abruptly broken free in the middle of...Read More »
Going Elsewhere
“I swear, you Thantir are fucking cursed!”
The fact that Tah, a normally rather calm being who very rarely said anything worse than ‘darn’, had just loudly cursed and thrown something across the room, was a sign that things were certainly not well. His recently repaired left arm was missing again,...Read More »
Assorted Messages
Deathbringer: Hey guys, you two alright? It’s rare to see you online, Retvik.
Flamebearer: Considering what is going on, I felt like I needed to hear a friendly voice. Or at least read one.
Deathbringer: Fair enough. Is everything alright?
Souldrainer: No. Something possessed Galyn, made him attack us to the point of...Read More »
Gifted Blades
As far as everyone was concerned, today had been a good day. As Retvik, Nyssi, Kayel and Tenuk returned home, they all relaxed in the living room, the central hub, filled with soft sofas, covered in cushions and blankets. Sure, the house belonged to Retvik, but after nearly a decade...Read More »
Turmoil from Above
“Epani, dear, you need to relax.”
For the last three days, Epani had locked herself in the centre of the universe, fearing an attack from the one being that could genuinely permanently kill her and actually wanted to do so. Despite all her planning and scheming, despite her actions, the Life...Read More »
Avoiding Corrupted Touch
As consciousness returned to the Whenvern, he realized he couldn’t move. Horrible black, gooey chains kept his body pressed against the ground, trapped in the rubble of an ancient arena. But the inky restraints weren’t the only thing impeding his movement. A short, sharp blade had punctured Kairos’s neck, and...Read More »
Mortal Assault
Arkay was doing his best to be quick and efficient, but as Kairos squirmed in pain, it made removing the corruption slowly taking over his body very difficult. At first, Arkay had been cutting away at the corruption with one of his standard antiphthoric daggers, but he’d resorted to using...Read More »
Sudden Interview
It had taken a while for anyone to approach Arkay. He was currently in the middle of putting the west side of the main Dessaron Battle Arena back together, lifting up rubble and removing corpses so they could be buried by the locals. All things considered, it was a miracle...Read More »
Messages of Mourning
Deathbringer: Hey, uh, Retvik, Litvir, I, uh, have some bad news.
Flamebearer: Hello, Arkay.
Souldrainer: Are you well?
Deathbringer: No, I’m not.
Deathbringer: I want to apologize. Seimeni is dead. We had to kill her to kill Kinisis.
Flamebearer: Oh.
Deathbringer: I’m sorry. They nearly killed Epani. Kairos and I had no choice. Kairos is… Well,...Read More »
Struggling With Recent Events
“Normally, I don’t mind my bright yellow armour, but it’s going to be fucking hard to hide the fact that I killed a fucking god…”
“That thing was a god?” was Nyssi’s confused response.
No one had really slept, and Nyssi, Tenuk and Kayel were all camping out in Retvik’s living room,...Read More »
