Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
The Thantophor was in a funny mood. He was supposed to be going out, doing things, watching over his domain, spreading decay and entropy across existence, but he was currently sat in his tiny apartment, staring at a screen, and had been doing so for a couple of hours now. A single voice call that … Read more
Arkay stared at his laptop, surprised that it was still on and running. This was actually the first time he’d been home in a couple of days, having spent the last day or so rushing around doing all the chores he had failed to do while he was ill. Thanks to his new, heightened strength, … Read more
“So, you guys got kidnapped again.” Retvik grunted as he sipped awkwardly from a small can. Like most Rethavok, Retvik very rarely drank caffeine, because it gave him headaches. But he was still recovering from some sort of amnesia-inducing sedation, while at the same time trying to catch up with his training schedule. His team … Read more
Retvik rubbed his eyes, trying to focus on the drink in front of him. People had been talking to him, but he was too exhausted to pay attention. He, his friends and the Raptor had gone to a fancy Spast bar on the edge of Palaestra, one that Tenuk had insisted was plenty big enough … Read more
“You look… burnt…” Arkay ignored the Allbirther as he sat himself down in an empty seat and poured himself a glass of water. While they’d been gone, Sini had set up a banquet table and all-you-can-eat buffet for herself, Epani and the four mortals she was entertaining, with space for the other deities once they … Read more
Just as Arkay’s friend had said, there was a small ship waiting at the edge of the universe, with six stripes down the side. A door at the rear of the ship was open, waiting for the three beings, however both Retvik and Kairos had to duck under the doorway to get in. Inside was … Read more
The Thantophor was feeling pretty sorry for himself. He was currently sitting in a plastic box, unable to speak, mostly because he’d just had his tongue, lungs and throat cut out in an attempt to curb the corruption that was in his body. Technically, the operation had been a success, there were only trace amounts … Read more
Kayel knocked tentatively on the door, not really sure what to expect. Behind him, clogging up the hallway, were his three friends, plus a crazy, ancient warlord who now ran one of the biggest arenas in the known universe, someone who had insisted that Kayel take her to see the Thantophor in person. The trip … Read more
“You…” Kayel heard the low growl before he could properly react. He was just standing in a random dark hallway, on his way to the canteen to grab some drinks, when something green and furry grabbed him by the throat and pushed him against the wall. Instincts kicked in, and Kayel pulled himself through the … Read more
“What in our names is wrong with you, Epani?” Sini screeched as Epani threw the unconscious body of the Thantophor into a plastic box, then sealed it shut. “He is corrupted. We must prepare for incineration and recreation.” Sini crossed her arms in frustration. “Did you not read the messages I sent you? He can … Read more
Arkay paced up and down his apartment, not sure what to do with himself. He had done exactly as Sini had requested, sealing himself away, quarantining himself and drinking plenty of water. However he was struggling with Sini’s final task of keeping himself calm. After all, the unthinkable had happened. Arkay had been corrupted. Maybe … Read more
Sini hated silence. Normally, whenever Sini worked, she’d do so in one of her many labs, which were often filled with all sorts of life. Chirping insects, songbirds, the cracking of twigs and the rustling of leaves as creatures foraged through the undergrowth. If she was in one of her higher level labs, designed for … Read more
“Wow, your place is a shithole.” Arkay rolled his eyes as he let the pink-skinned Temthan in. The Allbirther rarely visited the tiny place that the Thantophor called home, and for good reason. While all the other deities lived in vast palaces dotted across the universe, Arkay just lived in a little apartment in the … Read more
“Is that Lightbearer?” Kama whispered to Matu as the four Lanex entered the arena. The Imperatorai Hordikai were the second highest ranked Lanex team fighting in the Great Arena, and considered one of the best when it came to Capture the Flag matches, beaten only by those with rather… unholy powers. Today though, they were … Read more
Nyssi crossed her legs awkwardly, trying to hide her nervousness as as she sat on the stool in the Raptor’s office. The Raptor had wanted to speak to Nyssi specifically, and she was not exactly sure why. She had some idea, but, as far as Nyssi was concerned, she’d been a good girl and a … Read more
