Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“So, what did you actually do?” Arkay gasped as he nearly fell backwards, grabbing the arm of his chair with his free hand. As soon as Arkay was certain he wasn’t going to hurt himself, he immediately turned to the being in the doorway who had interrupted him. “Do you not fucking know how to … Read more
“Good evening, little ones!” Vikalos smiled as he walked into the room, holding three folders. He knew that the young Decay Lords would all be together, so he was taking advantage of this time. “Hi,” Arkay awkwardly waved back, swallowing his bite of sandwich. “We’re kinda eating right now.” “I know. Which is why this … Read more
“Hello, dear! Long time no see!” Gath blinked, the fog clearing from his head. He had been staring for far too long at a bottle of ultra soft plating wax, a liquid soap Rethans used to clean their armour plating. This one in particular was meant for growing and developing plating that had not hardened … Read more
Rethais shuddered as he felt a heavy hand on his shoulder. He had been calmly working at his desk all day, reading through a large number of peace agreements between the Banikans and the Temthans. The peace treaty had little to do with the Rethavok, but since the Rethavok were the race currently ruled over … Read more
“When I became a Decayling, I never thought I’d end up with some sort of elemental bias…” Arkay muttered, flicking a small globule of darkness between his fingers. The three young, new Decay Lords had been rather idle over the last 24 hours. Between napping and eating, they had mostly been attempting to regain their … Read more
The Decayling observatory was very quiet. Only Litvir was present, idly flicking through a small pamphlet, while occasionally scribbling down notes on a nearby piece of scrap paper. The appearance of Galyn standing in the doorway almost caught Litvir by surprise. “Are you here to check up on us?” Litvir grumbled, sitting up straight. He … Read more
“We do… not have very long…” Retvik’s blunt statement was met with equally blunt nods from both Arkay and Litvir. The two of them were quite busy sorting themselves out. This actually made Retvik feel rather bad, as he’d spent the last hour writing a will. Just in case. “Yeah, you realise just how quickly … Read more
“So let me get this straight and clear in my head: You are all tracking various energy levels inside me, some of which have spiked to the point that I may be considered dangerous, and the only way to stop you from knocking me out and imprisoning me forever in a steel box is for … Read more
“I am sorry to inform you that one (1) of your Decayling students is potentially unstable and must be terminated from the Decay Lord program.” Galyn read the letter, then re-read it, making sure that he was reading it correctly. He then read the letter a third time, before scrunching up the letter and throwing … Read more
Kairos as tempted to scream as the frozen water unexpectedly poured over him, but he had to restrain himself, lest someone else heard him. That being said, the last thing Kairos expected as he set foot back into his old universe was for a torrent of icy water to land on his head. “What is … Read more
The metal door slammed shut with such ferocity that the door frame was still shaking. Vibrations travelled down the corridor, making other doors shudder as well. Kairos couldn’t help but wonder what he had done wrong, but was also wondering just how much the room on the other side of the door was shaking. “That … Read more
“Arkay, can you help me with something?” Litvir awkwardly nudged the door open, his hands preoccupied with heavy text books. He slipped through the gap he made, before straightening himself out in the middle of Arkay’s room. “I could have opened the door for you, you know…” Arkay tutted, sitting calmly at his desk doodling … Read more
Rethais grunted as he fumbled with his keys, struggling to find the right one for the front door. Most Rethans only had a handful of keys – one for their home, one for their vehicle and one for their work. Rethais not only had those, but he had tons of miscellaneous other keys too. One … Read more
“Hi!” Kenon stared at the strange little being standing in the doorway. It was clearly a Skyavok, but it was also clearly disabled, leaning on a pair of crutches despite having seemingly working legs. As Kenono scanned the being’s physical integrity though, he became suspicious. Mental trauma, not so much physical trauma, was causing this … Read more
Retvik yawned as he stretched his arm out, being mindful of the two beings sleeping with him. As the fog lifted from his mind, Retvik took a moment to try and remember what had happened, and why he was sharing a hastily made bed of blankets and pillows, snoozing under the dim, reddish lights of … Read more
