Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
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
The only way to get to the Floppy Isles was by boat. By a small boat. Like many of the smaller islands of Thalsa Two, the Floppy Isles were technically in a restricted zone, and visitors were only allowed to set foot on the islands if they had a permit or a guide with them. … Read more
“Are you sure you want to leave?” Pretty much everyone stared at Telin as he asked that question. No one answered it at first though, not until everyone had either rolled their eyes or sighed. “Yes, Telin, we want to leave…” Retvik grunted. “We have wanted to leave for a while, and now we can … Read more
The wind was quite harsh as Xeno Dessaron One disembarked from the small shuttle. Thalsa Two wasn’t a particularly popular place to go outside of two particular species, Vrekans wanting to go on holiday and Lanex who wanted somewhere new to explore. Because of this, the large islands were nothing more than Vrekan tourist traps, … Read more
“Hm…” Koh wandered around the large, floating island, going over a long check list, crossing things off. The tiny team of Decay Lords had been working hard over the last week or so, renovating the floating island and its desolate, looted buildings, turning everything into… something definitely habitable. The battered, shattered villa had been rebuilt … Read more
“Oh, I did not think you would just… instantly arrive…” Retvik smiled weakly as he picked Kuta up off the floor. As always, his cute little poten-partner had briefly knocked themselves out by shadowjumping to Retvik’s bedroom. But today, Kuta seemed far more tired than normal. They were almost delirious as Retvik placed them gently … Read more
“Is it just me, or is that a very, very large Thraki?” Psikay had been enjoying his current duties of looking after a sleeping death god, but right now, he was quite concerned. Sure, his team of K-Class soldiers, working alongside a team of Ksithans, a mini-tribe of Banikans and half a Rethan Legion hadn’t … Read more
Valorier watched with great intent as the heavily armoured Rethan very slowly swam back and forth across the pool. After each length, Retvik would noticeably slow down, getting more and more tired. Valorier kept on watching until he noticed that Retvik had stopped in the middle of the pool. After a few moments, Valorier spotted … Read more
Phovos wasn’t expecting anyone to knock at her door, not at what Phovos was assumed was late at night, but no, there was someone gently knocking on her door. But before Phovos unlocked the myriad of locks and sliders that kept her door bolted shut, she decided to peer through the little looking hole, to … Read more
Tenuk used to fear coming to the Raptor’s office, but these days, he wasn’t so bothered any more. Sure, the Raptor was an ancient Ksithan warlord who had taken over and united the Ksithan territories of Portalia, fought back the Clan Unmourned and now ran the largest gladiator arena in the universe, but Tenuk knew … Read more
