Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Eat up, we have a big day tomorrow.” Four plates appeared on the table, and Retvik sat down to join his friends in their meal. Nyssi eyed her dish suspiciously, while Kayel glanced awkwardly at the meal Tenuk was happily tucking in to. “Not hungry?” “No, just… confused… What is Tenuk eating?” Retvik smiled. “A … Read more
Retvik stepped into his office without knocking on the door first, but as he looked around the room, he did wish he had in fact knocked. Purring on the sofa, was resident Decay Lord and Life Goddess Seimeni, legs apart and rather content. Sitting at his desk as if nothing happened was Litvir, although he … Read more
“So, tell me about yourself, Tenuk.” Tenuk didn’t answer at first. He was busy watching the handful of Ksithans work. He was standing on a stool, being measured up. When it came to the Twelve, most species were either scaly or furry, not both. Tenuk himself was very furry, with long ears, four eyes and … Read more
“Where have you been all this time?” Retvik scooted over on the steps, making space for the rather tall, emerald-plated Skyavok to sit down next to him. The House Fighter Cafe was barely an actual cafe, more a small kiosk and some concrete stairs overlooking the larger training grounds, but the food and drinks were … Read more
Kayel cursed at himself as he yet again failed to hit the centre of the target. He’d been at the aiming range at the back of the training hub for the Great Arena for a couple of hours now, and he was starting to get frustrated. While Kayel was perfectly capable of using ranged weaponry, … Read more
“Hey, may I have a word with you?” Decay Lord Retvik looked up from what he was doing. He had been helping his friend and partner Phovos fill in some paperwork, allowing her to study as a Decayling despite technically being a Life Goddess. At the door, fellow Decay Lord Litvir was standing awkwardly, an … Read more
Arkay tutted to himself as he went to the front door, fumbling with the key briefly. He knew exactly who it was, and had decided to take his sweet time, putting on an (actually clean for once) Skyan hoodie and some baggy trousers. After all, the Whenvern had all the time in the universe to … Read more
“Hit me.” The four very different beings stood in the middle of the hall. The floor was made from a springy, wood-like substance, while the walls were insulated, to protect from loud noises. Along one wall was a wide array of various blunted weapons and equipment, all meant for practice and training. But right now, … Read more
“Litvir, Retvik, what are you doing here?” The two powerful beings stood in front of Galyn’s desk. One glistened with golden flames, the other hid within an ominous aura. Both of them were smaller than Galyn, but they were in his way, blocking the door to his office. “Can we have a word, please?” Retvik … Read more
There was always something about the Raptor that unsettled Retvik. Sure, he had fought a multitude of beings in all the years he had been working for her, heck, he had even been face to face with literal deities, but the Raptor had an unusual, almost ancient aura to her. One that Retvik now felt … Read more
“I have an idea. A very stupid idea.” Kayel glanced up from his drink and his communicator. He’d been messaging with some of his old friends, namely his old captain, who had wanted to get back in touch after Kayel’s… adventure. And, just like everyone else in the building, he was quite drunk. “What sort … Read more
Arkay sighed as he stepped into the shower in his tiny apartment, on the edges of a backwater city. He turned on the taps, waiting for warm water to come through, before deciding not to bother. It wasn’t water anyway, it was a strong acid, a decontaminant. He needed to wash the burning, corrupting blood … Read more
“So, uh, time to send you four home…” Arkay turned to the four mortals, then sighed. The term ‘mortal’ felt wrong. These four, they had been born as mortals, but now, they were… something else. Unkillable. Immortal, perhaps. All because Arkay had… broken at the perfect time. Here they now were, standing in front of … Read more
For the first time since she had been resurrected, Kinisis looked somewhat uneasy. The appearance of her favourite daughter, Sini, the Lifebringer, had made a mess of her plans. The initial idea was to kill the Thantophor, capture and torture the Panelix and then take over the universe with Sini and Kairos under her control. … Read more
Blade clashed against blade, flickers of flame littered the battlefield, blood soaked the ground, yet still the hideous Goddess was still standing. Everything Arkay and Kairos had thrown at Kinisis, she had managed to simply soak up. Sure, she was injured, bleeding, but she wasn’t slowing down. Then again, Arkay hadn’t slowed down either. The … Read more
