Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Thank Allbirther Sini for modern medical technology, right? Also thank you Ksithans for modern medical technology, I guess…” Psikay was the only person in the room in a good mood, even as the Ksithan medic wrapped up his broken arm in a flexi-cast and jabbed him in the elbow with a fast-healing injection. Despite the … Read more
No one would have noticed had the Ksithans not heard the beating of colossal wings. Wings far, far larger than anything remotely possible. Wings that cloaked the landscape in shadows. The Whenvern, the Dragon God of Time, was circling the planet, clearly searching for the fallen Thantophor. Currently, the comatose God of Decay was sheltered, … Read more
Retvik had been staring at the wall for about a day now, his head and body strapped down to the table, rendering him unable to move in any way. He hadn’t slept properly for a while and he hadn’t eaten or drank anything in days. He’d hardly moved either, outside of the constant adrenaline seizures. … Read more
Koh felt very pleased and proud of himself as he stood in the doorway of the new reception and waiting area of the Thantir’s new base. They still hadn’t thought of a name for the place, and Koh had gone around earlier asking for suggestions, but all things considered, things were great right now. Each … Read more
The Thantir Two, despite the fact that it had two smaller ships docked on top of it, was slightly faster than Shield Six. Because of this, it had reached the small, floating island first, and it landed rather gracefully on the freshly resurfaced parking area outside the new Thantir base. There were a few ohs … Read more
Kayel sighed as he pushed uneaten food across his plate. He, Nyssi and Tenuk were alone in the all-you-can-eat buffet in the main hotel restaurant. It turned out that most Vrekans ate two massive meals a day, one at about 11am and another at around 10pm. Considering it was currently about 7pm, normal dinner time … Read more
“So is this a new Thantir Tradition now?” Itaviir asked as Vikalos dragged him, Galyn, Retvik, Litvir, Kaytee and the Thantir Eight (as they were calling themselves) into the large, cheap, fast food burger restaurant at the back of the mall. “Yep.” “You… know that, four hours ago, I treated you and Galyn to a … Read more
“I feel awful.” Kayel glanced up to see who was talking to him. One thing he had noticed about Lanex was that a lot of them sounded the same, and in the last few hours, he’d spoken to a lot of them. Although Thalsa Two was a Vrekan territory, because Kayel and his team had … Read more
Smouldering ash lined the ground, soaking into the slimy floor, as the crazed Rethan tore through monster after monster, ripping limbs from their bodies, tearing flesh out with his teeth, slamming their bodies with his armoured tail, throwing himself into the scattering horde. The Corruptiids were large beasts, larger than the Rethavok hell-bent on destroying … Read more
Retvik paced up and down in front of the cave mouth, occasionally pausing to glance at one of two things. Outside the cave were the smouldering remains of a Corruptiid that had attacked Retvik. They had caught each other unaware, but Retvik had swiftly killed the monster. It had struck first, but Retvik had swiftly … Read more
“Normally I quite like swimming, but I didn’t like that.” Kayel shook himself down as he climbed out of the water and into a strange, glistening cave. Everyone else had already swum through and sorted themselves out and they were now looking around, trying to work out what was going on. Nyssi was struggling to … Read more
Dariak sighed as he glanced around the empty shop, waiting for someone to come in. Like almost all the retail staff at this mall, Dariak was technically a Divine Guardian, he worked for the Polizonta Life Goddesses that owned the mall and the shops and franchises inside it. The only beings around here that weren’t … Read more
“That… is a lot of dead penguins…” “It’s only, like, twenty penguins.” Tenuk, Nyssi and Ilga all stared at Kayel. “What? It’s twenty penguins! It’s nature, they get eaten all the time!” Nyssi crossed her arms and tutted. “Normally the prey gets dragged away or eaten or whatever. Not just left and killed for no … Read more
“You know what? I’ve been a Phantai Decay Lord for like six year-strings, and this is my first time going to this space mall…” Kaytee’s statement was met with a multitude of grunts as the Thantir filed through the mall entrance, each of them given a wristband as they did so. “This mall has been … Read more
The tents were all set up, a small fire had been lit and dinner had been eaten. While Nyssi and Retvik were currently lying in their tents, Tenuk was sitting on the beach, watching the waves lap across the sand. He’d been mostly sitting on his own, but he quickly noticed that someone was approaching, … Read more
