Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Alright, is everyone here?” Litvir asked as he counted heads, checking as everyone filed into the main observatory on the Thantir Two. Its sister ships Thantir Three and Shield Six had been undocked from the top of the ship, and there wasn’t much else that needed to be done apart from final checks. After all, … Read more
“Damn, Retty’s having fun!” Elksia beamed as a torrent of fire exploded from a nearby hallway. “Ain’t seen him enjoying combat so much in a looooong time! Not since our DBA days!” “See, I used to watch those old exhibition matches from a tiny screen in the cave I spent years hiding in, and, thinking … Read more
Unender: Sorry for not replying to your previous messages. Deathbringer: No worries, I just guessed you were busy or something. You alright? Unender: I am currently in a hospital bed, recovering from a surgery to remove necrotic organs I accidentally created while shapeshifting, which was causing me so much pain I could no longer stand. … Read more
“I am so, so fucking stupid…” Elkay had been muttering those words for a while now, still under the effects of the anaesthetic drugs the medics had used on Elkay’s sudden surgery. He’d been conscious but numb and drunk, watching as two surgeons removed dead, necrotic organs from Elkay’s stomach cavity, organs Elkay had accidentally … Read more
Tenuk wandered around the room in his new, Beh’evok form, with blue skin, red eyes and dull grey armour, a short crown of horns sticking out of his skull and thick, stubby blades poking out of his forearms. “So, Ret, what do you think?” Tenuk asked, watching as the shimmering, permanently on fire Decay Lord … Read more
Murdragon: Boss wtf Firestorm: What? Murdragon: Who the fuck is Soulsoother and why did they just post “yo dead server” in the Thantir Decayling General Discussion channel? Murdragon: wtf Murdragon: Who is Souldrainer and why the fuck did you just give them moderator rights? Murdragon: You just gave that little Retvik guy moderator rights too … Read more
“So who let you two freaks wander around here alone?” Elkay glanced to his left to see who was interrupting, then rolled his eyes. “In all honesty, I fit in better around here than you do. I can at least make myself look like a standard Phantai soldier.” “Yes but then you would spend several … Read more
“Ugh… where am I?” Litvir sat up straight and tried to move his arm to rub his eyes and neck, only to find that his right arm was stiff and his left was wrapped up in some sort of medical device that was both drip-feeding him medicine and fluids and keeping a constant check on … Read more
“I want to leave the Phantai.” Lightblade looked down at the small Decay Lord sitting on the other side of his desk. The last time Lightblade had heard someone say that to him, they had taken one of Lightblade’s best soldiers and left to form their own sect. Most of the Phantai were simple, happy … Read more
No matter what Retvik did, he couldn’t cool himself down. He’d turned off the flames that rippled up his body, he’d spent a good fifteen minutes standing in the shower, he’d even stuck his head (and partially melted) the freezer in a bid to lower his internal body temperature, but no, Retvik was still sweating. … Read more
Retvik felt hot, hotter than normal. This wasn’t good. Having the ability to manipulate things like heat, fire and plasma, Retvik rarely felt anything other than perfectly warm, as he would alter his internal body temperature to never feel too hot or cold. Right now though, whenever Retvik would cool himself down, about fifteen minutes … Read more
Akah almost screamed as a long, noodly arm dragged him into the observatory as he walked past. But as Akah settled down and realised what was going on, he realised that someone randomly grabbing him was a good thing, because he was going to the wrong observatory. “Oh, hello! Are you all alright?” Akah glanced … Read more
Elksia found herself leaping back and forth, repeating herself, going around in circles. But no matter what she did, the Phantai in front of her was still lying there, unmoving. No, not unmoving. Dead. Gone. Another attempt. Elksia tried to alter the time threads around the battle. But no, every single time thread led to … Read more
Most of the observatories on the Shimmering Blade were open to everyone, but this one in particular had a sign on the door, loudly stating “quiet please” and “Thantir only”. Inside, nine desks had been set up, eight of them facing the ninth, arranged like a small classroom. There were seats for everyone, as well … Read more
