Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
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
“So, you seem pretty pissed off at us.” The Raptor was a terrifying person. Everyone was well aware how vicious she could be, how she was an unkillable death machine who had torn the Tharr Clan apart and used to rule over a quarter of the planet of Portalia with an iron fist. She had … Read more
“Hey! You came back already!” Kayel was grinning as he opened the door to his apartment, but that grin very quickly faded as he realized that Arkay had fabric wrapped around his neck and wrists. “Uh… are you well?” “No… can I come in?” Kayel nodded and led Arkay in, gently closing the door behind … Read more
“Well, piss.” Arkay’s shoulders dropped as he realized that the coffee shop he had brought Kayel to was closed. And had been closed for a good couple of months. “So, uh, was there a reason why you brought me here?” Kayel asked. “Yeah. I found this place when I was looking for an apartment to … Read more
The knock on the door did admittedly make Kayel jump, but it was the muttering he could hear that bothered him more. A defeated sigh and the repeated words of “I shouldn’t be here” and “why am I doing this?” were enough to force Kayel out of bed and see what was going on. It … Read more
Kayel paced up and down one apartment, before deciding to shadowjump to another. He wasn’t going to be able to get these troubles out of his head on his own. But as Kayel made his way down the stairs of Retvik’s nice, four-bedroom home, he realized there were three people in the living room and … Read more
“Hey! You came back!” Kayel beamed as he opened the front door to his tiny apartment. Arkadin, the Thantophor and god of death, glanced around awkwardly. “Uh, yeah, I guess I did.” Kayel dragged Arkadin inside, then closed the door behind him, before gently forcing Arkadin onto the sofa. Kayel then playfully patted Arkadin on … Read more
“I find it so weird that a collective species shut down most of the city last week and the same thing is kinda happening this week…” Tenuk tutted as he sat on the sofa, browsing on his tablet, swishing his fluffy tail back and forth. “It’s been weird that Nyssi’s been doing nothing but beast … Read more
