Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Phovos didn’t know what to expect as she knocked on the front door to the large, fancy villa. The only indication that she was in the right place was a single red balloon tied to the lamp post in front of the house, next to a red and gold Rethan bicycle. However, as the door … Read more
“Dude.” “What?” “Dude!” “What?” “DUDE!” Retvik snapped to attention, realizing he was in a bed. Standing over him were some familiar faces. Immediately, something blue and fluffy forced its way into Retvik’s arms. This was followed by far too many people trying to hug him, and a shower of confetti. “Dude, you fucking did it!” … Read more
The sun had just set, and the audience was eerily quiet as the two gladiators stepped into the main arena. Retvik’s footsteps were almost silent compared to the heavy crunches of Telumeus and his mechanical suit, but both of them were wrapped up in heavy armour, both of them were armed and ready for the … Read more
Telumeus sighed to himself as he watched the final touches being added to his mech by his team of technicians and assistants. His MK9 mech wasn’t ready yet, it didn’t have all the features he wanted, so he’d been forced to use his MK8 mech again. That wasn’t too bad, the MK8 model was perfectly … Read more
“Oh hey, you’re a cat again!” Kayel smiled as he let himself in, immediately took off all his clothes and threw them into the washing machine. Kayel blatantly didn’t care that he’d just stripped off in front of the God of Death, he was hot, sexy, young-ish and had been trying to sleep with the … Read more
It had been a while since Retvik had visited the Certification Chamber, a fancy building where contracts and things were signed. The chamber was designed to be luxurious since most of its visitors were there for political purposes, ironing out the terms and conditions for arena battles to settle disputes rather than going to war. … Read more
“So, what the fuck are you doing here on Portalia?” Thassalin shifted awkwardly on his seat. He was a Thraki, he wasn’t used to sitting on chairs. At least, not Temthan chairs. While Temthans did vary greatly in height and size, they were all upright beings and they all had long lizard tails, so their … Read more
Nyssi had planned to go to the Torn Islet on her own, to check in with her cousins and help them move into new accommodation, but since Retvik didn’t have any plans and had been pacing around being anxious, she’d decided to bring him with her. Not only did Retvik need some distractions, but he’d … Read more
Retvik rubbed his eyes as he sat up and looked at his communicator, which, for some reason, was ringing. Ringing, but not with a number Retvik was familiar with. Rethan phone numbers were particularly long and consisted of their ID numbers randomly scrambled, an area code and a planet code, plus an extra status code. … Read more
Retvik should have been celebrating, but he was currently pacing up and down the living room, stressed out of his mind. News was beginning to spread about some sort of strange “mind bomb” at a secret Torr lab that had left a lot of people dead. A secret Torr lab that his poten-partner Kuta had … Read more
The crowds were going insane as the two gladiators entered the arena. On the left, Timik Lilac-Crown, the Great Blade, lifted his great sword, Crownbreaker, into the air, greeting the audience with his signature pearly white smile. On the right, Retvik Rethianos, the Lightbearer, remained somewhat silent as he raised his shield but did little … Read more
“I hate to bother you, Retvik, but can you come with me for a bit?” It was about midnight, Retvik wasn’t really sure, but that familiar thump as Kuta shadowjumped into his bedroom and hit the deck had woken him up. “Are you alright, Kuta? Retvik immediately asked as he threw his blanket off himself. … Read more
“How much is your rent?” Kayel had admittedly forgotten that he’d let the God of Decay stay in his apartment. But to be fair, Arkay had been the perfect room mate. Apart from the pillow and the light blanket on the sofa, one wouldn’t have known Arkay was there. He spent most of his time … Read more
“Thank the Light, I am so glad to be-” Retvik suddenly paused as he realized that Kuta had completely passed out and collapsed on the floor in front of him. Kuta passing out from long distance shadowjumps was somewhat common, but the way Kuta hit the deck was somewhat concerning, doubly so since Kuta was … Read more
“Hello, sibling. May I join you?” Retvik sighed but quickly relented, shifting across the bench so that Rethais could sit down. They had been sitting on their own, staring out of a nearby window, looking down at the streets of the city of Phos. It was a very large, pretty and square city, with wide … Read more
