Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Hello, Arkadin.” Arkay blinked several times, trying to work out where he was. From the smell of the air, he could tell that he was inside a metal ship, having been abruptly torn from his fledgling universe, the one he and his siblings were in the middle of building. “Hello…” “I have some questions for … Read more
Ten beings stood around a cramped table, all of them feeling rather uncertain. “We came back as soon as we realised what happened…” Retvik cautiously explained. “We had no idea that Epani was sending us away as a distraction so she could kill Kinisis. And we certainly had no idea that Arkadin was involved in … Read more
“Galyn! I cannot find Lady Kinisis!” Relkir barged into the office, weapon in hand, only to find that the room was empty. This was supposed to be a shared office, where both Relkir’s boss, the Allmaker, and her best friend and Decay Lord Galyn both did various paperwork stuff. So the fact that the room … Read more
The walls were beating. Echoing. Banging. As if they were concussive instruments, playing in their own, steady rhythm. “Of course it was you…” Kinisis’s words bubbled as she began to reform inside the protective sphere that contained her heart. “Why am I not surprised that you are here to finally end me?” Arkadin had been … Read more
Epani took a long, deep breath as she approached the glimmering oasis. High above the universe sat what was essentially a hotel for the gods, where visiting Life Goddesses from other universes would pop by, eat luxurious food, drink vast amounts of rich wine and relax by stunning, crystal clear waters. All the while, they … Read more
Arkadin opened his eyes for the first time for a while. He had been travelling blindly through the toxic planet that supposedly contained the heart of Kinisis, and he had finally made it to a chamber that wasn’t flooded with fluids that emitted so much radiation, they could kill a mortal being in seconds. The … Read more
“Yisini, are you busy?” There were screams echoing from the small, dingy laboratory. While the surfaces and glassware were all clean and sterile, the floor was slightly sticky, and the windows were frosted up, the corners peeling slightly. A weird, sickly sweet scent drifted from the back room, where the majority of the screams were … Read more
“Heavy lead, radioactive isotopes, mercury compounds… every toxic material possible. No way a living soul could even come close to this place.” Arkadin drifted awkwardly as he examined the planet from a safe distance. It was a very small planet, probably closer in size to a moon. Even from here, the amount of radiation was … Read more
“Epani, what are you doing here?” The colossal, whale-like Panelix hovered in front of the small, silver ship. Inside were the four members of the Dessaron, a team of elite warriors that normally served the Decay Lord Galyn, but had been working for Kinisis for a while now. “I have been looking for inspiration!” Epani … Read more
“I will be honest, I did not think you would show up.” Arkadin perched on the small asteroid, analysing the being before him. The Panelix was a colossal creature, towering above both Arkadin and the asteroid, but she wasn’t how Arkadin remembered her. She was now very feminine, with whale-like features, large, finned claws and … Read more
Arkadin paced around his living room, pausing occasionally to re-read the message on his screen. He had been doing this for about an hour now, trapped inside a miniature loop of indecision. The cause of this indecision was quite simple. He had received a letter from his sister, and in it was, well, a tale … Read more
Dearest sibling, Normally, I would not contact you. There is a strict reason why. You have your own existence, free from ours. You are your own individual now. But that individuality is the reason why I need you now. I have broken my own rules in order to discreetly contact you, and I beg for … Read more
