Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Aesop shrank in his seat, as the rest of the Torrian Parliament got up and started filing out. Panos, the Prime Minister, gave Aesop a disgruntled and annoyed glare, then headed out himself. Before long, pretty much everyone was gone, going back to their normal businesses. Probably insider trading or gambling or something. Admittedly, in … Read more
Kairos snarled as he pressed a crystalline shield against the colossal tear across the edge of the universe. He had thankfully predicted that the vast Corruption would attack at this specific point, but that didn’t make the ordeal any better. Worse, he had underestimated the sheer size of this Corruption. It was… huge. So huge … Read more
Atuho, the Imperator of the Vast Sands, wasn’t normally considered a particularly menacing Lanex. If anything, most people thought Atuho was a little too friendly. Which was why he dealt with external affairs, and problems with other races. Most Lanex didn’t quite mesh socially with the rest of the Twelve, and a lot of folks … Read more
“Advisor Phovoula, thank you for coming on such short notice!” Skiavor, a black-furred Ksithan with equally dark eyes, smiled as the Raptor climbed up the stairs to the Grand Hall of the Twelve. The Ksithans weren’t quite as democratic as other species. They were ruled over by the Tromeros family, a large, powerful heritage with … Read more
“We need to call home.” Aster rarely argued with his superiors. In fact, he was normally one of the calmer and more law-abiding Crown Guides of the Perpetual Abyss. The Lanexian outcasts, who fervently worshipped the Panelix above all else, were well organized and well armed, and they kept to themselves, hoping to one … Read more
“Well, I think we all had dates yesterday!” Nyssi laughed as she headed downstairs, where Retvik was lying dozily on the sofa, and Tenuk was eating a bowl of porridge and honey. Kayel was sitting in the kitchen, switching between his communicator and a yellow, portable games console. “I wouldn’t call my regular meetings with … Read more
“What the fuck, Arkay?” Epani stood up from her red and gold throne as Arkay teleported into the main hall at the castle at the centre of the universe and sat down on his own throne, a massive black bean bag. “What?” “You… You…” Epani grunted, then turned to Sini. “Can I swear at him, … Read more
“Retvik, dear, I need you, right now.” Retvik had just gotten back home from work alongside his friends. As always, he had plodded upstairs to take his armour off. But he didn’t expect to find Kuta lying on his bed. Even more unusually, Kuta was wearing almost nothing, just a loin cloth. “Hello, Kuta!” Retvik … Read more
“Uh, I take it you all got the message as well?” Kayel felt rather awkward as he stepped into the large, darkened hall. He thought he’d arrived ten minutes early, but, somehow, he was the last person to arrive. Also present in the room were 18 other Skyavok, every single shadowjumper in the regions of … Read more
Elkay groaned to himself as he turned over inside the glass observation and quarantine cell he as sleeping in. Just outside the cell, his husband was arguing with someone, probably one of Kal, but Elkay didn’t particularly care right now. “I NEED to comfort him! I need to help him! He needs my embrace, so … Read more
They were not falling. They should have fallen already. The Ancient Feeder had rained down His droplets across the small, floating island, the place harbouring those that went against the Great Unending Ancient One’s Will, that denied The Natural Laws, but those spores were being both burnt and washed away. The Ancient Feeder had spawned … Read more
Unender: Hello, Arkay, are you available to talk? Deathbringer: Yeah, I’m here. Was about to take my three hour nap but we can talk. Unender: Oh, I can leave you to sleep, if you need it. Deathbringer: Nah, it’s cool. I kinda overslept since dealing with a Voidborn yesterday. Weirdly tired right now, and I … Read more
For once, Epani’s early warning systems weren’t acting up. There was a Voidborn at the top of the universe. But they weren’t trying to break into the universe, they were knocking frantically on the hatch at the top of the universe. As always, Arkay had raced up there to see what was going on. At … Read more
Vekeus hesitated as he parked his ship outside the Shield and Stave, the cosy little Decay Lord-run pub which not only served Adogtic Voidborns, but was quite nice to stay at as well. As he’d flown back from the Athata Rift, Vekeus had been rather undecided. He’d been flip-flopping between his physical looks – that … Read more
Flamebearer: Arkay, are you around? Flamebearer: Arkay? Flamebearer: Arkay? Flamebearer: Arkay, I need to warn you of something. Flamebearer: Arkay? Souldrainer: So that Arkay doesn’t see your multitude of messages and panic, everything is fine. Flamebearer: Arkay? Flamebearer: Arkay, please get online. Flamebearer: Arkay? Deathbringer is now online. Deathbringer: Retvik, you do realize there’s a … Read more
