Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Thanks for agreeing to come with us, Akah!” Leh clicked with excitement as the ship Shield Six began to slow down, approaching what looked like a dark, rocky mass ahead. “Normally we’d be doing this stuff in secret, but you and your four-finger-and-a-thumb hands and lean, upright, tail-less form are so, so helpful when it … Read more
Elkay sighed to himself as he sat on the very top of the Shimmering Blade and gazed off into the distance. Normally, the colossal Phantai vessel would be swiftly travelling through the perpetual darkness, patrolling its territories alongside a fleet of smaller ships, but a vast vacuum storm had brought the ship to a complete … Read more
“Hey babe…” It was incredibly difficult to do so, but as Elkay heard the voice of his beloved partner and felt their hand brush his, Elkay immediately grabbed onto Teekay and pulled him into a tight a hug as he could manage. Which, considering how drugged up he was, wasn’t very tight. “Teekay, dear, I … Read more
“RETURN UNENDER TO US, THIS INSTANT!” The Overlord was caught unaware at how quickly a member of the Thantir would make their way to the main Deathven base and rudely interrupt a council meeting between the Overlord and his fellow Higher Decay Lords. The Overlord thought he’d have at least ten hours before someone turned … Read more
“So, uh, did we do it?” Teekay asked as he picked himself up off the floor, not having noticed the colossal monster of a being standing before them. “Maybe?” Eksi replied, surprised that he and Teekay were the first to climb to their feet. They were followed by Tenuk, Tahvra and Akah, then the two … Read more
“So we have to… kill a small sun?” The eight Thantir Decaylings were currently sheltered inside a large, icy dome, with walls at least 30cm thick. Akah was doing his best to make sure that the walls remained intact as they were steadily being clawed away by the horde of blackened monsters outside. Everyone else … Read more
“Hm, I think we need a better way of getting rid of these bodies…” What had started off as a trickle of corrupted beasts had turned into a constant onslaught, to the point that corpses were piling up the ice walls Akah had made, and he’d had to angle them outwards to stop the hordes … Read more
You are not alone. Fight until you eight are alone. Kill everything corrupted, or be corrupted yourselves. The eight Thantir Decaylings gathered under the tiny wooden shelter, reading the small, holographic message laid out in front of them. Cruel, cold winds blew by, and there was a scattering of rain. The skies were a permanent … Read more
“Vikalos?” Vikalos glanced up to see Elkay standing in front of him, looking rather upset. “Is something wrong, deary?” Elkay sighed, then nodded. “I want to speak to my fellow Decaylings in private, without anyone overhearing. I need to get some things off my chest and I… I do not want you elders to hear. … Read more
Theocydes froze in place as he entered The Shield and Stave, a small Decay Lord pub within the Ventra Expanse, and saw the being behind the bar. Vekeus, his fellow Adogtic Voidborn friend, bumped into Theocydes’s back, not expecting him to stop. “Hello!” a friendly Decay Lord waved from the bar. “We don’t normally get … Read more
Things were quiet on the Shimmering Blade. The Phantai were taking some time off to celebrate the demise of the Crystal Doom, as they hadn’t seen a single Voidborn ship in the last two evs. Meanwhile, the Thantir were keeping to themselves. Their eight Decaylings were soon to do their Decay Lord Trial, and the … Read more
“Huh, looks like they have changed things again…” “They keep on doing that…” The package was surprisingly large, considering what it contained. Inside were forty metal bands, each with several indicators on them, individually marked. Also present was a LOT of documentation and information. Information which Retvik, Litvir, Vikalos, Galyn and Itaviir were all reading … Read more
Today had been a pretty productive day for the Thantir Decaylings. They had done some combat training with some of the lower Phantai, they’d done problem solving activities with Galyn and they had just finished a short mental resistance training session with Litvir, who seemed way, way too happy to just, well, still exist and … Read more
“Uh, Nuh, sorry to bother you, but can you help us with something?” Nuh dimmed then lit up his crystalline eyes as he looked up from the tablet he was drawing on. Since Kal didn’t have much work to do lately, they were drawing up designs for a new base on the large chunk of … Read more
“Not very often that you have four Trios around a table!” Telin beamed as he got out the fancy tankards, a collection of specially made drinking vessels with a button on the side. Pressing the button and concentrating on what drink you wanted would automatically fill the tankard with the fluid of your choice. These … Read more
