Deathvenian Maze

“Where are we-” “Shush.” “But-” “Shush.” “Nyssi-” “SHUSH.” Between the four Decaylings, they were all being very stealthy, but none of them knew where they were really going. Tenuk had done exactly what Thassalin had told him to do, by keeping his lungs clear, and this meant he’d woken up rather quickly. But he and … Read more

Another Broken Secret

Overlord pulled out a small clock and inspected it closely. With a sigh, he then put the clock away, then turned to face the three intruders. Yet again, he had been interrupted during a meeting with his Upper Decay Lords. But not by the same few faces as last time this had happened. “Hello, Pentaflame. … Read more

Trial Betrayed

“Why is everything not moving?” Kayel asked as he staggered to his feet. “Don’t talk. Listen.” Thassalin was already upright, but he had turned back into his old pink Thraki form and was standing, wings apart, between the Decaylings and the colossal shadowy being before them. The other Decaylings weren’t all quite upright yet, but … Read more

Void Skull

Retvik shook his aching hands as he sat down on the floating platform. Kayel quickly sat down as well, very much out of breath. It had taken about two hours to melt a tunnel through what everyone thought was a sphere but was in fact the stomach of a colossal gold and silver Voidborn. While … Read more

Metal Walls

“Hm, we seem to have created a large wall…” All things considered, the eight Decaylings were doing fine. They were a little tired, but Nyssi making bets on who could kill the most Voidborns was keeping their spirits somewhat high. However, the corpses were starting to pile up, and it was getting harder and harder … Read more

Delayed Start

“Stop the Source, or Perish.” The eight Decaylings all huddled round a small, holographic message that had appeared in the ground. On it was the basis of their trial. Right now, the lot of them were in a strange, metallic landscape. At first glance, the location seemed like a ruined temple, with broken pillars and … Read more

An Hour Away

Most of the team were asleep currently. Ret and Kuta were lying in the corner in some sleeping bags, and, at some point, Tenuk and Talok joined them. Kayel was nearby, completely buried underneath a pile of cushions with his sleeping bag on top of him. Phovoula was pacing up and down, not really sure … Read more

Pre-Challenge Preparations

“How did this even get here?” Arkay asked as he and Litvir followed Retvik. Retvik was carrying a familiar box. Well, familiar to Retvik and Litvir, but somewhat new for Arkay. “I believe that Deathven has some very powerful abilities. He seems to be able to teleport anyone anywhere. And that probably applies to cardboard … Read more

Potentially New Parents

Litvir felt better now that they were outside Kyr Gath’s home. Since part of the Junior Stratos base where Litvir lived had caught fire, in order to repair things more quickly, all Rethan kids were sent back home to their parents and guardians until the repairs were done. Apparently it would only be for a … Read more

The Better Choice

“Hey, kiddo. Wake up.” Litvir blinked, then rubbed their eyes. Once their eyes were somewhat cleared, Litvir glanced around. They weren’t in the same place. Someone had moved Litvir while they were asleep. They hadn’t moved far though. They seemed to be in a medical-related tent. But there was commotion outside. Whispers. Lots of emotions. … Read more

Fire Alarms

Litvir could smell smoke. Bad smoke. Although Litvir was supposed to be asleep like everyone else, they could definitely smell that something was wrong. They quickly got up and glanced out of their tiny window, but they didn’t see smoke. Mostly because it was dark. Feeling concerned, Litvir climbed out of bed and quickly put … Read more

Drawing Therapy

“What do you mean, there are no lessons today?” “There are no lessons today.” Litvir peered through the window looking into the empty classroom, then turned back to their teacher, Tekni. Tekni was there to set up an art activity for later in the day involving paper and glue, and thankfully, they had caught Litvir … Read more

Draconic Recommendations

“So, how are you doing?” Dalosisaar asked as Kohra and Litvir both sat down. Kohra shrugged. “I’m honestly fine. Just finished a university project, and I finished it early, so I have some extra free time.” “Ah, good. Litvir, how are you doing? Elkay informed me that you were upset yesterday.” Litvir squirmed nervously. “Was… … Read more

New Emotions

“Kyr Elkay! Kyr Elkay! I need you! I have questions! I do not know who or how to ask!” Elkay was quietly reading a book in his office, taking a well deserved break. He’d been running all over the place recently, mostly with a lot of legal stuff, helping Aesop with making the Torr less … Read more

Friendly Studying

The study hall was busy today. It was coming up to the end of the school year, so most young Rethans had exams to prepare for. The tests weren’t until the end of May, but the teachers had all explained that it was better to prepare early than to rush everything at the last minute. … Read more
