Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“The High General does not wish to see you.” The glistening, gold and red-armoured General stared at this short, white-plated Rethan standing in front of them, blocking their way. “Move, child.” “No. The High General does not wish to see you. You ought to leave.” Revan Rethianos was not used to being told no. The … Read more
“Thank the Light, you are back!” Retvik didn’t expect Litvir to immediately jump at him and hug him tightly, but that was exactly what Litvir did. Most old-universe Rethans wouldn’t dare so openly hug each other or even so blatantly show brighter emotions, but Litvir had always been an odd, overly emotional Rethan, so this … Read more
“Well, aside from the sudden SCE attack, this has all been wonderful!” Pentaflame beamed as he and some of his troops helped everyone pack. Currently everyone was gathered in (the remains of) the main meeting hall, where the Doom Drums had been giving out parting gifts, as well as going over a few last bits … Read more
“What in the name of the damned Light are you doing here?” Important Rethans making awkward doctors appointments later in the day when there were less people around wasn’t that uncommon, but Kuta was genuinely surprised at how aggressively Relkir had just hissed at them. In fact, Relkir’s anger was so loud and obvious that … Read more
Deathbringer: Hey, Elkay, how are you doing? Unender: Oh, hello, Arkadin. Unender: Sorry, uh, are you Arkadin or Arkay? I am not sure. Deathbringer: Whoever signed me up as a Decay Lord put my name down as Arkidetelos for some fucking reason, but I prefer being called Arkay. Unender: Understandable. Does mean we have too … Read more
“Hey, guys, I think he’s waking up!” Arkay rubbed his eyes as he rolled over and picked himself up. Standing over him were his team of friends, plus an extra friendly face. “So, which of them did you save this time?” Sini asked as she helped Arkay to his feet. “You were gone for a … Read more
“I can see why this place was abandoned!” Tahnaiious growled as he helped Mavriir to his feet, while a blast of flame pushed back a tentacle of Corruption. “This shit is just smashing through the walls like they’re made of paper!” “Yes, should have done a structural integrity test or a quick history lesson or … Read more
“That is a lot of snacks, paper and dice.” “Well, we have a lot to go over!” Retvik glanced around the room, feeling ever so slightly nervous. The last time Arkay was here, the Panelix (the goddess Retvik used to worship) had invaded, teleported his friends across the universe, beaten Arkay up, ruined the coffee … Read more
“So, what’s next?” Pentaflame glanced across the room. This meeting between the Pentathax and the local sect leaders had been going great so far. Sure, there were very few sect leaders present, but all of them had been rather friendly and courteous to each other. And most of them were already Corruption Purgers or military … Read more
“I feel like they are testing us.” “Why?” “They are keeping us together.” “Because we are triplets.” “No, to see who is the worst and who is the best. And the worst is clearly me.” “Relkir, just because you are not physically strong, does not mean you are less than us! After all, I am … Read more
“It’s so damn nice being allowed to freely shadowjump!” Kayel exclaimed as he leaped through the big shadow in the corner of his apartment. “I’ve saved so much damn money on fuel, you have no idea! Alright, kinda spending the savings on ammo to shoot pigeons if I exert myself too much, but still!” Arkay … Read more
The last meeting had lasted forever, and by the time Tahnaiious had managed to escape and reach the stone balconies in order to take a breather, he was absolutely furious. He admittedly didn’t want to be here, all Tahnaiious wanted was to get his hands on some extra firepower, but the appearance of another Decay … Read more
Gath grunted to themselves as they finished a call with one of their external captains. While seven of their captains worked alongside Gath, three of them had separate jobs, and had been inducted into the 1000th Legion while continuing their duties elsewhere on neutral territories. Veliir was originally from the 500th Legion, who specialized in … Read more
“So you do purifications?” “We do, yes.” “Huh…” Most of the meeting so far had been about combatting Corruption, but as Stormshade described how he had nearly accidentally been corrupted when an inky black monster had attacked his ship directly, the conversation had moved on to how to get rid of any infections. “So what … Read more
It was weird, sharing a bed with someone. Originally, when Arkay accidentally found himself sharing an apartment with Kayel, a cute yellow-plated Skyan he’d somehow made immortal, Arkay had slept on the sofa. He didn’t really sleep much, only for a couple of hours a day. He did his best to not get in the … Read more
