Unexplained Decayling Demands
“WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?”
Both Retvik and Vikalos were folks who didn’t shout that much, but they had both just roared at the poor person on the other end of the call. And, understandably, the other voice was clearly shocked.
“Um… The… the Overlord is demanding that your new Decaylings do...Read More »
Rushed Announcement
“Oh damn. This HAS to be bad news if Arkay’s coming along to talk to us…”
Seven of the eight Decaylings present felt uneasy. They’d all been suddenly called into their classroom, and, weirdly, it wasn’t for a lesson with Vikalos, Saahro or Elkay, who did most of the teaching. Nope,...Read More »
Voidborn Worries
Despite there being no sun at Savepoint, Nyssi often enjoyed lying on the beach, watching the waves or the sky. Occasionally, she’d be joined by Kayel, Tenuk or Ret, but right now, the three of them were busy. Ret was learning how to make cool light swords, the same way...Read More »
Light Blades
“Hm, I think your light powers aren’t quite the same as mine…”
Psiksi had been struggling a bit, trying to teach Gentle, Submissive Retvik on how to turn light into weapons. So far though, Ret had only really made a few laser beams and some motes of light. Ret also had...Read More »
More Reassurances
“You’re struggling.”
Phovoula tried to sigh to herself, but couldn’t actually exhale. Or inhale. Currently, Phovoula was standing in front of a mirror in the public bathroom and shower room, staring at her reflection.
“I am, yes.”
With an odd click, Phovoula turned to see who was talking to her. It was Phovos,...Read More »
Decayling Insecurities and Plans
“Alright! Team meeting!”
Nyssi had dragged everyone into the room that the higher up folks were using as a classroom. Gathered around were all eight Decaylings, some of them more anxious than others.
“What do you need, Nyssi?” Kuta immediately asked, watching as Kayel and Ret pushed tables together, making a vaguely...Read More »
Cuteness and a Pinch of Envy
While both Retvik and Litvir were the leaders of the Thantir, that didn’t stop either of them doing more mundane jobs, and they were happy to get their hands dirty if they needed to.
Currently, Retvik was on guard duty, because he wanted to give Galyn and Itaviir a bit of...Read More »
Similar Problems Elsewhere
Pentathax ships landing at Savepoint were pretty common. While they could normally fix up minor corruptions without too much hassle, anything that potentially needed more delicate surgery or was at risk of amputation was sent to the Thantir to be purified.
Today though, a small 2-seater ship had just touched down,...Read More »
Chat With A Different Psiksi
“Heya, how you doing?”
Kayel was busy doing a bit of training on his own. The training mostly involved trying to hit targets with his elemental powers. Throwing balls of fire seemed pretty easy, but Kayel was currently experimenting with little ice daggers.
“Oh, hey Psiksi!” Kayel turned to face who was...Read More »
Adding New Branches
“I think they are trying to throw off my branches…”
No one had really said anything for a while. While most of the Decaylings were asleep, both Nyssi and Thassalin had decided to join Ret and Kuta on the beach. The two Rethans had been somewhat camping outside, spending their time...Read More »
Pre-Challenge Preparations
“How did this even get here?” Arkay asked as he and Litvir followed Retvik. Retvik was carrying a familiar box. Well, familiar to Retvik and Litvir, but somewhat new for Arkay.
“I believe that Deathven has some very powerful abilities. He seems to be able to teleport anyone anywhere. And that...Read More »
An Hour Away
Most of the team were asleep currently. Ret and Kuta were lying in the corner in some sleeping bags, and, at some point, Tenuk and Talok joined them. Kayel was nearby, completely buried underneath a pile of cushions with his sleeping bag on top of him. Phovoula was pacing up...Read More »
Delayed Start
“Stop the Source, or Perish.”
The eight Decaylings all huddled round a small, holographic message that had appeared in the ground. On it was the basis of their trial.
Right now, the lot of them were in a strange, metallic landscape. At first glance, the location seemed like a ruined temple, with...Read More »
Metal Walls
“Hm, we seem to have created a large wall…”
All things considered, the eight Decaylings were doing fine. They were a little tired, but Nyssi making bets on who could kill the most Voidborns was keeping their spirits somewhat high. However, the corpses were starting to pile up, and it was...Read More »
Void Skull
Retvik shook his aching hands as he sat down on the floating platform. Kayel quickly sat down as well, very much out of breath. It had taken about two hours to melt a tunnel through what everyone thought was a sphere but was in fact the stomach of a colossal...Read More »
Trial Betrayed
“Why is everything not moving?” Kayel asked as he staggered to his feet.
“Don’t talk. Listen.”
Thassalin was already upright, but he had turned back into his old pink Thraki form and was standing, wings apart, between the Decaylings and the colossal shadowy being before them. The other Decaylings weren’t all quite...Read More »
Another Broken Secret
Overlord pulled out a small clock and inspected it closely. With a sigh, he then put the clock away, then turned to face the three intruders. Yet again, he had been interrupted during a meeting with his Upper Decay Lords. But not by the same few faces as last time...Read More »
Deathvenian Maze
“Where are we-”
“Shush.”
“But-”
“Shush.”
“Nyssi-”
“SHUSH.”
Between the four Decaylings, they were all being very stealthy, but none of them knew where they were really going. Tenuk had done exactly what Thassalin had told him to do, by keeping his lungs clear, and this meant he’d woken up rather quickly. But he and his...Read More »
Out Into Clear Voidspace
“That was… weirdly easy…”
Tenuk didn’t answer. He was busy concentrating. He’d somehow managed to get the Thantir One out of the main hangar and off into the darkness, but he didn’t know what to do next. And it turned out, Nyssi, Retvik and Kayel had no idea either. To make...Read More »
Calming Trip Home
The Thantir One was pretty quiet. Mostly because there wasn’t much in it. When Arkay was last on board the Thantir One, he recalled it having three main corridors, the same way the Shimmering Blade did. Arkay was also aware that the ship was built with DIY Faction Section technologies,...Read More »
Back Home Again
“When you said you were flying back on a ship, I… I didn’t think… uh…”
For once, Vikalos was at a loss for words. The large, simple ship was parked on the side of Save Point, on the wide, flat area meant for any ship that didn’t fit in the main...Read More »
Graduation Thoughts
Eight new Decay Lords sat on the beach, watching the waves lap across the sand. It was apparently night time at Savepoint, and most of the lights had been dimmed or turned off. The mood wasn’t completely calm though. All of them felt uneasy and didn’t know why. So Nyssi...Read More »
