Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Apparently it was night time. But there was no sun, no moon, and the handful of twinkles in the sky that Phovoula could see from her tiny bedroom window weren’t stars, they were the glows of distant universes. Sure, occasionally strange, pink, nebula-like clouds would blow by, thanks to the void winds of the Athata … Read more
“Hey, Yisini, are you busy, can we talk?” Sini wasn’t particularly busy, she was just inspecting the ship that the Thantir just gave her. It wasn’t their ship, really, it was one of Kinisis’s old ships, but it turned out that some of her smaller Divine Guardians had backup ships in case the original ship, … Read more
The party was calming down, and most folks were heading off to bed. But Galyn had been waiting a long time to catch Arkay on his own, and, finally, the old, battered death god had wandered off, sitting on the pier and staring off at the dark skies. Really, Galyn was dreading this conversation, but … Read more
“Kyr Litvir, can I speak to you, privately, please?” Litvir sat up and turned to who was talking to him. Admittedly, Litvir was ever so slightly tipsy, but he was on his own right now, keeping an eye on things while everyone else partied. “You do not need to call me ‘kyr’, deary. Is something … Read more
Retvik smiled weakly to himself as he stood in front of the entirety of the Thantir. Lined up before him were eight new Decaylings, waiting to be given their codenames and inducted into the sect somewhat officially. Gathered to Retvik’s right were the older members of the Thantir: the three Tattered Navigators and all six … Read more
In hindsight, Theocydes probably should have checked his messages sooner, because, just as his ship landed at Savepoint, after doing a vital task for the Thantir, he’d noticed that he’d received a message from Litvir, telling him to return immediately and that he wasn’t safe. And Litvir had sent that message BEFORE Theocydes had arrived … Read more
“So what does being a Decay Lord entail these days?” Thassalin asked as he fiddled around with his physical form, ignoring the fact that Nyssi was giving him looks. Now the old Time Drake was free from the confines of a universe he had little power in, Thassalin’s strength had returned in its entirety. And … Read more
Arkay couldn’t help but smile like a lunatic as he wandered around Savepoint, trying to come to terms with everything that had happened. He was alive. He was free. And he had been reunited with his two blood-bound partners. But on top of that, his friends were all alive, and they were all now divine … Read more
“Is this real?” “I assume so, yes.” Arkay turned over inside his glass cell, where he was currently being quarantined. Thankfully, he was somewhat comfortable. He had a bed, a blanket, a pillow and some water. On the other side of the glass cell was Litvir, who had been watching over Arkay the entire time, … Read more
Itaviir didn’t like the fact that he wasn’t the tallest person in the room. It turned out, the old Allbirther, when at her ‘relaxed size’, was actually half a meter taller than him. And whenever she got angry and opened up her cobra hood or summoned a pair of wings, she was even larger. That … Read more
The mood on Savepoint was tense, for a myriad of reasons. The appearance of eight new Decaylings, one of whom was a Time Drake, another being a Voidborn, had been startling enough, but the old Allbirther suddenly arriving at the Thantir’s base, cradling a capsule of black goo that she claimed was the Thantophor had … Read more
Things crash-landing into the parking lot at Savepoint were annoyingly common, but the moment that the strange, serpentine Time Drake hit the ground, dropping a strange, crystalline canister, things became rather… chaotic. The Thantir instantly identified the Time Drake not as a Time Drake, but as a Life Goddess. Sini, the old Allbirther, had collapsed … Read more
Everyone was quiet, not really sure what to say, somewhat shell-shocked. The eight of them had been split up somewhat, while they were being checked over by a group of beings that called themselves Decay Lords. Thassalin had been mostly fine, he had regained all his Time Drake powers and was mostly just reorientating himself … Read more
“Hello, Theocydes, what a pleasant surprise!” Litvir smiled as he approached the strange, silver Voidborn. “Hello, Litvir, are you all busy?” “No, no, just shutting down main operations for the day. It has actually been quieter than normal. In our line of work, that is almost always a good thing!” Theocydes grunted. “Oh, so you’ve … Read more
Theocydes mused to himself as he increased the speed of his ship while he travelled through the rough patch between the Ventra Expanse and the Kinigian Wilderness. Normally, he’d stop by the denser parts of the Athata Rift, but that was better used for west to east travel, not south to north. Theocydes was heading … Read more
