Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Arkay was doing his best to be quick and efficient, but as Kairos squirmed in pain, it made removing the corruption slowly taking over his body very difficult. At first, Arkay had been cutting away at the corruption with one of his standard antiphthoric daggers, but he’d resorted to using high heat plasma blasts in … Read more
As consciousness returned to the Whenvern, he realized he couldn’t move. Horrible black, gooey chains kept his body pressed against the ground, trapped in the rubble of an ancient arena. But the inky restraints weren’t the only thing impeding his movement. A short, sharp blade had punctured Kairos’s neck, and time around him was slowing … Read more
“Epani, dear, you need to relax.” For the last three days, Epani had locked herself in the centre of the universe, fearing an attack from the one being that could genuinely permanently kill her and actually wanted to do so. Despite all her planning and scheming, despite her actions, the Life Goddess known as Kinisis, … Read more
“Hi!” Galyn opened his eyes, then realized he wasn’t awake. He was trapped inside his own subconscious, sitting on the ground, lost in a dense jungle. One that reminded Galyn of the jungles he had grown up in, memories buried so deep down after aeons spent being a deity that he hardly remembered them. The … Read more
“Happy birthday, Litvir!” Litvir wasn’t sure how Eksi had managed to get into his personal quarters, but the little yellow and cream Skyavok was standing there holding a cake, a small box and a card, trying to look as cute and innocent as possible. “You do realize that, firstly, I hatched from an egg, and … Read more
“Hey big brother!” Levik hated being called that. As far as Levik was concerned, he had no family, he was a single, unnamed, unknown individual trapped in a body that wasn’t his. But the rest of the universe constantly told him that he was Levik tou Ahvran, the second son of the Lord King of … Read more
“Hello, Psiksi!” Psiksi glanced up from what he was doing. He was currently eating lunch and watching a match in the arena below, while also fiddling with his health meter. He was pretty sure he’d damaged it during his last battle against an overly arrogant Temthan challenger, and was trying to recalibrate it to show … Read more

“Come in, dear…” Retvik hadn’t even knocked on the door as it swung open. Then again, that was to be expected, since Litvir was a powerful telepath and instantly knew Retvik was standing outside. He also knew that everyone else on board was asleep, aside from Tenuk, who was in the cockpit keeping an eye … Read more
“So, you are ditching us?” Koh stopped what he was doing and rubbed his neck joint, which felt weird ever since he’d had his head welded back on. After a moment, he turned his attention to the being that had spoken to him. “No, not ditching you. Just finishing off our work before we rejoin … Read more
As far as everyone was concerned, today had been a good day. As Retvik, Nyssi, Kayel and Tenuk returned home, they all relaxed in the living room, the central hub, filled with soft sofas, covered in cushions and blankets. Sure, the house belonged to Retvik, but after nearly a decade of living alone in a … Read more
Tenuk was rather confused as he reached the private training area for his team, Xeno Dessaron One. The lights were all off, and there was a strange, meaty, rotten smell coming from somewhere in the room. However, he could definitely hear movement, and as Tenuk opened the door, the lights abruptly snapped back on. “Heya, … Read more
Deathbringer: Hey guys, you two alright? It’s rare to see you online, Retvik. Flamebearer: Considering what is going on, I felt like I needed to hear a friendly voice. Or at least read one. Deathbringer: Fair enough. Is everything alright? Souldrainer: No. Something possessed Galyn, made him attack us to the point of nearly murdering … Read more
“I swear, you Thantir are fucking cursed!” The fact that Tah, a normally rather calm being who very rarely said anything worse than ‘darn’, had just loudly cursed and thrown something across the room, was a sign that things were certainly not well. His recently repaired left arm was missing again, and one of his … Read more
Litvir wasn’t quite sure where his lower intestine was. To be fair, he didn’t particularly need it any more, he hadn’t eaten solid food in at least a month, but it was currently missing, having been torn out by the rampaging beast that abruptly broken free in the middle of a mental scan, in which … Read more
