Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“What are you doing up there?” Letharus rolled his eyes as he moved away from the console and the sheets of jet black paper. Scrawled on them were long strings of numbers, as well as code words, noting down what he had seen on the various scanners. “My job, Rethanius!” Letharus snarled, answering without speaking. … Read more
“Oh! Hello, little mortal! What brings you to my domain?” Rethais glanced over his shoulder and pointed at a wooden door which didn’t seem to be attached to anything. Then again, Rethais was pretty sure that he was standing on either clouds or cotton wool, floating above a mountain, speaking to a massive sea creature … Read more
Veeksiar tutted as he weaved through the lines of soldiers, making his way to the grand office of the High General. He had been working alongside Vaxavius and Orthon, two high ranking Generals, for the last few weeks, creating a very large, very comprehensive plan on how to make non-Rethan races like the Rethavok more. … Read more
“Hi Ser!” Trismit bounced as he let himself in. “You are home early! Normally you do not get in until late!” Rethais looked up from his tablet, smiling slightly. “You do know you do not need to call me ser, right? Any parental name is acceptable.” Trismit shrugged, dumping his bag by the cape rack, … Read more
Galyn originally didn’t want to interrupt, but he had been watching Arkay work for a while now, and he was pretty sure that the little Decayling was in need of a break. Arkay had been cautiously and repeatedly measuring various distances and making all sorts of calculations, yet he didn’t seem to be making much … Read more
“Hm. Looks like he’s redecorated…” All things considered, Kohra was actually feeling rather calm right now. The trip from his home where he had been kidnapped from, all the way to the Grand Palace that marked the centre of Rethan territories and influence had been rather calm and, more importantly, Kohra had managed to glean … Read more
“Hey, were either of you expecting a par-” The front door blasted off its hinges throwing Kayen backwards and flinging him across the floor. Before he could even attempt to work out why the front door had exploded, a heavy metal collar snapped around Kayen’s neck, pinning him to the tiled floor. Immediately, Kayen began … Read more
“Are you really watching me from over the fence, Vaxavius?” Vaxavius crossed his arms, tutting. “No one answered the front door and I need to speak to you urgently.” With a sigh, Rethais threw his shovel to one side and approached the fence at the end of the garden, where Vaxavius was lurking. He had … Read more
“Ugh, if I had known, I would have signed up for something else! The whole point was to explore the omniverse and shit, not dick around in the local neighbourhood before returning home for the holidays!” Tahnahos was in a bad mood and it clearly showed. Throughout his entire shift, monitoring navigation, he had been … Read more
Litvir should have been minding his own business, but he couldn’t help himself. He had headed into the kitchen to make himself some dinner, but much to his surprise, someone else was already in there. Not someone Litvir expected. “Why are you staring?” Galyn asked as he whisked unknown ingredients in a bowl. “Why are … Read more
“Hello, Rethais.” Rethais jumped, dropping the two bags of shopping he was holding and nearly slamming the vehicle door on his fingers. Due to the season, darkness had arrived at 5pm, and Rethais had only managed to finish his weekly shop at 6pm, so by the time he had arrived home, it was definitely dark. … Read more
Galyn grunted as the to fledgling Decay Lords burst into the room behind him. He was in the middle of going through flight apparatus with Arkay, making sure he as learning the ship’s instruments correctly, so this sudden interruption was not particularly nice. But since Retvik and Litvir both seemed rather concerned, he knew better … Read more
The third observatory on the Thantir Two was weirdly small and, more weirdly, very rarely used. Since most of the ship was now empty and free from more bossy Decay Lords, Litvir and Retvik were now sitting around in the third observatory, wondering why it had been locked the entire time. As far as they … Read more
Kanuva kept his head down, anxiously peering out of the glass dome above him. Shield Six, the Decay Lord ship he was currently residing in, had had a huge amount of upgrades over the last couple of weeks. The whole ship had been extended, complete with a personal chamber, just for Kanuva to live in. … Read more
Vikalos smiled as he laid back in his seat, pondering existence. All around him as golden sand, made from gold flakes, taken from a universe where rare metals were as common as oxygen and nitrogen. A few meters away, small, shimmering silver waves lapped up the artificial beach, powered by a small generator deep in … Read more
