Adventures in the Space Between Universes
“Mister Elkay, are you busy right now?” Elkay glanced over his shoulder as he packed up folders of paper and put them into a larger folder, with the label “Past Trials” written on it. He had just dismissed the Decaylings after a two hour long lesson running down a long list of Decay Lord Trials, … Read more
“One more exam?” “Yep.” “Just one?” “Yep.” “And that was it?” “Yep.” Lissandra tutted and rolled her eyes. “That was the longest and most boring exam ever though! No, wait, I take it back. That was the second longest and most boring exam ever after that stupid folded time exam!” Teekay shrugged. “Yeah, exams tend … Read more
“Oh! Shiny!” Helkas inspected the thing he had just been given. “Do we all get one of these?” Teekay nodded. “We try to make sure that you’re not all like Litvir and put up with all sorts of stupidly old shit and refuse to upgrade. But also, speaking of Litvir, he, Retvik and Arkay just … Read more
Helkas was getting better at working out who was approaching, from the sound of their footsteps, the crunch of the sand and pebbles under their feet. But for some reason, Elkay was always hard to judge. It was as if his footsteps were always slightly different, or maybe he was even disguising his footsteps. Helkas … Read more
All was quiet across Savepoint. The celebrations were over, the guests had left and everything was going back to normal. But there was still some movement. Not everyone had gone to bed. Someone had sneaked out for a midnight snack, but they seemed unable to work out how to use the omnivending machines. Of course, … Read more
“This is about that fucking stupid test, isn’t it?” Elkay and Teekay both nodded. The seven Decaylings all glanced at each other nervously. Well, apart from Lissandra, who was standing there, with her arms crossed. “Come on, out with it. We all know we all failed. We all know we fucked up.” Vokulunaax and Vexer … Read more
“So, you’re, like, actually a kid?” Helkas blinked, then looked up from what he was doing. He was currently working on reading the first page of a very, very sparkly book, but apparently according to everyone else, it just looked plain. The nice Life Goddess and her strange Voidborn friend (was it a boy or … Read more
“So how do I become a Decay Lord again? It’s not just the name you gave me, right? Gotta be more to it!” Arkay smiled a little as he took Helkas’s hand and led him off the beach, to the classroom. They had only done a small naming ceremony, because Helkas was a little shy, … Read more
“Cruelfang? What sort of fucking code name is that? I demand a better one!” Lissandra hissed as she slithered around, knocking things over with her tail. “It doesn’t match me in the fucking slightest!” “I think it matches you pretty damn well!” Teekay tutted. “I mean, you routinely threaten to bite people, you’re cruel and … Read more
“Hey, Vexypoo!” Elksia waved just before she could see Vexer appear at the entrance to her guard tower. “Reksi, baby, say hello to your biodaddy!” Vexer was very much caught off guard, not by the fact that Elksia knew he was coming, but because Reksi was in fact waving at him and chirping a few … Read more
“What the fuck do you mean, you two are in charge of us?” Fragiir didn’t mean to sound so pissed off, but the sentence he had just heard made no sense. “Elkay and I will be training you six up and guiding you all into becoming Decay Lords!” Teekay smiled. “YOU are leading us?” Lissandra … Read more
“From the unease on everyone’s faces, I think I can kinda guess the news…” Lissandra crossed her arms and sighed, but the rest of her fellow Divine Guardians seemed to be fine. “So Sini is gone and you’re taking over?” Vexer asked. Elkay-En nodded but paused. “Well… she’s not gone. She’s gone back to her … Read more
