Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“He’s doing his job again, but where from?” Kayen muttered. “Pardon?” Kohra turned around and asked Kayen if he was alright. “What did you say?” Kayen blinked his eyes. “What?” “You said something…” Kohra had noticed that Kayen had been trailing the rest of the group ever since they’d started walking through the ruined city. … Read more
“So let me get this straight… The Thantophor crash-landed in your garden and dragged himself into your living room, claiming that your house was his nearest place of worship, fell unconscious and allowed you to remove a blade wedged into his side, then woke up, apologised and left when you complained about him bleeding on … Read more
Phovos wasn’t sure how it all happened, but she was going toe to toe with an insanely strong Skyavok. If she hadn’t been the famous Raptor of Palaestra, she would have been very scared, but right now she was simply worried. It had all started when she and Timik had picked up a sent. It … Read more
For millennia, the crumbling towers of Thre-Thenta had been nothing more than abandoned ruins. Thre-Thenta had been a powerful stronghold, one of the capitals of the budding Threavok empire, but these days it was nothing more than a curiosity, an old relic studied by Skyan scholars. In its prime though, Thre-Thenta was something else. Not … Read more
“So, before we go off gallivanting across the universe in my ship, we need a plan.” Phovos was clearly a little excited. She’d invited everyone round to her newly rebuilt home, ordered in some sort of takeaway meal for everyone and bought plenty of drinks. “Kayen, what’s the mission?” Kayen looked around the room nervously. … Read more
“… And how long do you want your items to be kept in storage, ser?” “Um… indefinitely.” “So you are aware, there is a one week time fee when it comes to removing storage if you do not set a time.” “That’s fine.” “What about your current housing unit, ser?” “I won’t be needing it.” … Read more
“Time sure seems to fly, doesn’t it?” Timik pulled up a stool and sat in one of the empty spaces at the table. Phovos and Kayen sat on the other side of the table while Kohra was in the kitchen, fetching drinks and snacks. “I guess…” Kayen sighed. “I assume you three have all been … Read more
“You alright, Kayen?” Kohra smiled as he let himself in, throwing his keys and wallet into a nearby bowl. Ever since the whole “being captured” thing, none of them had been particularly right. Kayen in particular had been taking it all rather badly. In fact, he had basically been living out of one of Phovos’s … Read more
The last couple of days had been a blur. Between the celebrations of people coming back to life, and government organizations wanting to question them, Phovos had barely had the time to sit down. Kohra had been reunited with his brother. Kayen had been reunited with his father. Timik managed to rejoin some of his … Read more
“He’s going to kill us…” Timik muttered as the four of them followed the Thantophor through a dimly glowing portal. The portal led them to a charred, formerly grassy terrain with the remains of a cottage house nearby. A dusty road and a concrete path around the house were the only things that had stopped … Read more
Kinisis rolled her eyes as she started turning off machinery. She seemed somewhat angry, and the other deities all knew why. Someone had been fiddling with time. “KAIROS, GET YOUR BACKSIDE IN HERE RIGHT NOW!” the Allmaker roared. Epani and Yisini both cowered in their little perches. Kenon sighed. The four mortals, all frozen in … Read more
“So, uh, what are you going to do?” Kayen had asked that question a couple of times, but the goddess hadn’t answered him yet. She’d start saying something, then change her mind and go back to fiddling with… things. Machines, Kayen assumed. Really, the whole room made no sense. It was both tiny and huge … Read more
The ship skidded to a halt on a rather flat, rocky outcrop, coming to a sudden halt. Its occupants didn’t have a chance to see whether the atmosphere outside was breathable or not as a large, sharp rock had stabbed straight through the hull of the ship. There was no way they could possibly get … Read more
The four deities sat around the glass table, awkwardly looking anywhere but at Kinisis. The Allmaker was prancing around, naked as usual, rummaging for packets of biscuits and making sure that everyone had a drink. She’d for some reason also brought a sword along with her, a pretty basic-looking one made out of silver and … Read more
“This place looks very scary and very bad…” Phovos stared out of the cockpit window, out into the depths of space. Ahead of them was a colossal golden gate with electromagnetic gravitational projectors around each side, each the size of a small moon. The projectors stopped anything, from ships to meteors and wandering planets, from … Read more
