Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“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
“More fire?” “More fire.” Saahro rolled his eyes, then opened his jaws wide, spewing flames and plasma across the wreckage of a ship that had crashed into the small, forested area of Savepoint. Really, they should have been putting the fire out, but the ship was barely a ship anyway. In fact, it was half … Read more
“Hi, Kairos…” The Whenvern grunted as he perched on the small ledge that he had built into the side of the universe. Most of the universe’s outer membrane was somewhat opaque, made of vastskin, a dark, black, inky substance embedded with gravitational nodes and powerful electromagnetic field generators, which repelled the vast periuniversal void beyond … Read more
“Can’t sleep?” “No. Can’t sleep either?” “No.” Kayel was standing in the doorway, clinging to a blanket and a stuffed animal, wearing a cute little black hoodie with a giant pink heart on it. Arkay was lying on the sofa, staring at the wall, but he’d heard Kayel get up. “Want to talk?” Arkay asked. … Read more
“See, told you not all Voidborns are bad!” Vikalos smiled as he joined Galyn and Itaviir in the open-air canteen. Occasionally, their schedules would collide, and the three of them would finish their duties all at the same time. “Vikalos, my eternal friend, I already know not all Voidborns are bad!” Itaviir tutted, watching as … Read more
“You are not supposed to be here!” Arkay didn’t find the colossal purple and black Thraki particularly threatening. Yes, Vokulunaax, one of the Six Divine Guardians and the protectors of this fortress hidden within an asteroid field, was absolutely right, Arkay wasn’t supposed to be here. But Arkay had been looking for Sini all day, … Read more
Vekeus was confused. His entire existence, he had been taught that organized groups of Decayons were awful beings. Death gods. Hell gods. War gods. Beings that wanted others dead. His run-ins with the Phantai when he was younger had proved that. The only reason he tolerated the Ventra Expanse was because there was no singular … Read more
