Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Shieldbearer: hello arkay are you busy Deathbringer is now online. Deathbringer: Oh, hi Vick! Deathbringer: I’m not that busy. Well, I am, but I can check and reply to messages. What’s up? Shieldbearer: ive been thinking of you since you messaged me Shieldbearer: and made Shieldbearer: the chat with tenuk and elksos Shieldbearer: im kinda … Read more
Arkay had sensed Litvir approaching in a myriad of ways. Scent, time powers, telepathy and general intuition all warned him that Litvir was about to jump him, but Arkay knew that Litvir just wanted to be a little silly. So he continued to walk by that one shadow between the offices and the canteen area. … Read more
“… Fuck…” Something hit the ground. The sound that item made was not good. An awkward thud. Arkay and Retvik span around to see what had happened, only to catch Litvir sheepishly picking something up off the floor. Litvir then cursed again. “Fuck.” “What’s wrong, Litvir?” Arkay immediately asked. He could somewhat guess though. “Fuuuck…” … Read more
“Is everything sorted?” Arkay asked as he, Retvik and Litvir wandered through the Shimmering Blade, before making it back to their ship. Admittedly, Arkay had wanted to take Litvir’s ship, Souldrainer’s Plight, but since they were on official Missing work, they’d had to take the Deathly Soulflame. But their mission was pretty much over now, … Read more
“I think you can sense what the issue is already…” Psehon grunted as he almost dragged Litvir down to the bottom level of the Shimmering Blade. “I can, yes, but I am unsure why you need me.” “You will see.” The floor was mostly only three things: a large meeting hall, so large that it … Read more
“So, what’s wrong?” Telin and Arkay had been sitting in silence for a while. Well, Telin had been sitting, Arkay had started off lying down and routinely sank into the sea of cushions. After a while, he’d sit up, readjust and sink again, but this time round, he just sat up straight and looked at … Read more
Retvik wasn’t sure how to feel as he was dragged into the private quarters of Lightblade. He hadn’t had much say in anything so far, and it seemed that Litvir and Lightblade’s psionic partner Soulblade had had some sort of telepathic conversation and had subtly suggested Lightblade just “go for it”. Whatever that meant. For … Read more
“I always forget just how large everything else is…” Retvik and Litvir both glanced at Arkay as they parked and exited their ship, stepping into the Shimmering Blade proper. Ready to greet them were three Beh’ens, each one serving each of the Great Blades. “Hello, Flamebearer and Souldrainer!” Nightblade, the number one underling of Voidblade, … Read more
“So, uh, how are we going to do this?” Arkay asked as he and his trio sat in their office, having been recently teleported to Deathven’s private sanctum and teleported home again with a new mission. “Because I don’t know these guys that well.” “I do not know…” Retvik grunted. “We cannot be too obvious. … Read more
“Hello again, Missing.” Today, Deathbringer seemed to be wearing clothes, but Souldrainer and Flamebearer seemed to be rather bare. Flamebearer in particular didn’t have his normal flames. That was unusual. “Hello, Overlord…” Deathbringer tutted. Their normal, vaguely annoyed attitude. “What stupid mission do you want us to go on this time?” “I shall explain in … Read more
“So, question, are you doing this for my sake, your sake or Deathven’s sake?” Veeyel tutted as he sorted out equipment. Normally, he’d just use his shadowy powers to do all things medical, but Arkay was immediately immune to those shadows, and the two of them would somewhat instinctively counteract each other. “Why are you … Read more
“That hurt…” Retvik looked down at his stomach, expecting blood and bits of stomach all over the place, but the only thing present was a dark grey scar in the shape of a typical stab wound. Another scar to add to his collection. Despite not even being 90 years old, Retvik was a rather scar-covered … Read more
The roar of anguish and pain failed to echo across the entire base, the sound waves being mostly absorbed by the lead-lined walls. However, the strange, flameless explosion that followed, that shook the base to its core, shattering deep foundations, collapsing pathways and damaging walls behind repair. The explosion also allowed a second roar, a … Read more
Chaos and slaughter had erupted inside this strange Voidborn base. An army of unknowns fighting confused Voidborns who had made the mistake of pissing off the wrong people. The strange Voidborn who had let everyone in was gone, replaced with a very large, rampaging monster who was literally tearing things in half with its teeth … Read more
“Anoixeseste!” The Shimmering Ruiners didn’t know what they were looking at. A rather large being, larger than the 4m tall golden, hollow and antlered suits of armour, was bashing on the main entrance to their base. Normally, the guards would have shot at the being, but it was clearly a Voidborn. An odd-looking Voidborn with … Read more
