Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“So, like you faced the Ancient Collector and didn’t die, Shattershield?” Akah was beginning to regret his codename. Being a Decayling, he technically wasn’t allowed to pick his own name, it had to be done by a Decay Lord. But the problem was that, when it came to giving him a codename, he was on … Read more
Galyn shifted his weight nervously, not enjoying how he was currently on display in a glass cage, heavy chains securing him to the ground and an awkward golden choke collar around his neck, stopping him from moving too much. Right now, the emotion that was bothering him the most was uncertainty. It had been a … Read more
It had taken a few hours, but with the help of Koh and Leh, the seven Decaylings had all been moved to some proper sleeping quarters, consisting of actual beds, as well as some food. However, no one had seen Teekay, and only one Decay Lord had offered any meaningful information, simply stating that “the … Read more
Teekay blinked as consciousness returned to him. The last time he was awake, he was inside a glass cell alongside his fellow Decaylings, Eksi, Tahvra and his partner Elkay. Phovos and Elksia had their own individual cells, and Akah and Tenuk were awkwardly sharing a cell opposite them, neither of them looking comfortable after a … Read more
It had been a while since Litvir felt so small. As the colossal door swung open and the three Decay Lords stepped into a gold-plated office, Litvir couldn’t help but be reminded of his early days as a Decayling, lost, confused and mostly just surprised that he was even alive and moving. No one had … Read more
“I will be blunt, I was under the impression that the Thantir were dead…” The Deathven-aligned vessel Shimmering Blade Seven Two (Decay Lord Vessel Code ΑΣΗΜΕΝΙΟΣΞΗΦΟΣ-072) rarely left the centre of Phantai territories, what with it being the main hub of the Phantai, but the fact that a Decay Lord sect that was believed to … Read more
“Do you remember when we first met?” Elkay thought to himself as he stared out the window in the Decaylings’ private observatory. No one present had said anything in a while, not since they’d rejoined with the ship Shield Six and the bad news about Seimeni’s death had spread around. “You talking to your girlfriend … Read more
Deathbringer: Hey, uh, Retvik, Litvir, I, uh, have some bad news. Flamebearer: Hello, Arkay. Souldrainer: Are you well? Deathbringer: No, I’m not. Deathbringer: I want to apologize. Seimeni is dead. We had to kill her to kill Kinisis. Flamebearer: Oh. Deathbringer: I’m sorry. They nearly killed Epani. Kairos and I had no choice. Kairos is… … Read more
“Hi!” Galyn opened his eyes, then realized he wasn’t awake. He was trapped inside his own subconscious, sitting on the ground, lost in a dense jungle. One that reminded Galyn of the jungles he had grown up in, memories buried so deep down after aeons spent being a deity that he hardly remembered them. The … Read more
“Happy birthday, Litvir!” Litvir wasn’t sure how Eksi had managed to get into his personal quarters, but the little yellow and cream Skyavok was standing there holding a cake, a small box and a card, trying to look as cute and innocent as possible. “You do realize that, firstly, I hatched from an egg, and … Read more
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
“Come in, dear…” Retvik hadn’t even knocked on the door as it swung open. Then again, that was to be expected, since Litvir was a powerful telepath and instantly knew Retvik was standing outside. He also knew that everyone else on board was asleep, aside from Tenuk, who was in the cockpit keeping an eye … Read more
“So, you are ditching us?” Koh stopped what he was doing and rubbed his neck joint, which felt weird ever since he’d had his head welded back on. After a moment, he turned his attention to the being that had spoken to him. “No, not ditching you. Just finishing off our work before we rejoin … Read more
Deathbringer: Hey guys, you two alright? It’s rare to see you online, Retvik. Flamebearer: Considering what is going on, I felt like I needed to hear a friendly voice. Or at least read one. Deathbringer: Fair enough. Is everything alright? Souldrainer: No. Something possessed Galyn, made him attack us to the point of nearly murdering … Read more
“I swear, you Thantir are fucking cursed!” The fact that Tah, a normally rather calm being who very rarely said anything worse than ‘darn’, had just loudly cursed and thrown something across the room, was a sign that things were certainly not well. His recently repaired left arm was missing again, and one of his … Read more
