Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“So is this a new Thantir Tradition now?” Itaviir asked as Vikalos dragged him, Galyn, Retvik, Litvir, Kaytee and the Thantir Eight (as they were calling themselves) into the large, cheap, fast food burger restaurant at the back of the mall. “Yep.” “You… know that, four hours ago, I treated you and Galyn to a … Read more
Dariak sighed as he glanced around the empty shop, waiting for someone to come in. Like almost all the retail staff at this mall, Dariak was technically a Divine Guardian, he worked for the Polizonta Life Goddesses that owned the mall and the shops and franchises inside it. The only beings around here that weren’t … Read more
“You know what? I’ve been a Phantai Decay Lord for like six year-strings, and this is my first time going to this space mall…” Kaytee’s statement was met with a multitude of grunts as the Thantir filed through the mall entrance, each of them given a wristband as they did so. “This mall has been … Read more
“Are you sure you want to leave?” Pretty much everyone stared at Telin as he asked that question. No one answered it at first though, not until everyone had either rolled their eyes or sighed. “Yes, Telin, we want to leave…” Retvik grunted. “We have wanted to leave for a while, and now we can … Read more
“Hm…” Koh wandered around the large, floating island, going over a long check list, crossing things off. The tiny team of Decay Lords had been working hard over the last week or so, renovating the floating island and its desolate, looted buildings, turning everything into… something definitely habitable. The battered, shattered villa had been rebuilt … Read more
Phovos wasn’t expecting anyone to knock at her door, not at what Phovos was assumed was late at night, but no, there was someone gently knocking on her door. But before Phovos unlocked the myriad of locks and sliders that kept her door bolted shut, she decided to peer through the little looking hole, to … Read more
Elkay wasn’t too surprised to find himself in a hospital bed with Litvir by his side. Despite the psionic mastermind having been quite a horrible person in the past, Litvir had consistently been kind and respectful to Elkay. Weirdly though, his partner Teekay wasn’t present, and the only other being around was the colossal Itaviir, … Read more
Elkay didn’t know if he was awake or not. The last thing Elkay could remember was having a fever and passing out. Right now though, he was sort of… lying down but also floating, in a very dark nothingness that was punctuated by the occasional coloured light. None of the lights were white, they were … Read more
Elkay yawned, then tutted, then grunted, then yawned again as he made his way back from the main canteen, where he’d gone to get some more pain killers from the vending machine there. The vast vacuum storm, the largest the Phantai had seen in a decade, had finally passed, and things were going back to … Read more
“Ey! Moonblade!” Moonblade didn’t expect people to cheer as he entered what used to be the private Thantir Decayling Observatory, but had been recently renamed the “Private Cool Room for Cool People Who Are Both Thantir and Cool”. Apart from a brief hello when the former Decaylings got back from their trial, Moonblade hadn’t really … Read more
Litvir wasn’t that surprised to see that parts of his shared personal quarters were on fire. He and Retvik had had two very different conversations between two very different people. Litvir had just gotten back from a nice chat with Tah, the leader of the tiny group of Decay Lords that the Thantir had adopted. … Read more
It had been a very, very long time since Tenuk had been forced to get between Retvik and Elksia. Back when they (Retvik and Elksia) were young, both of them were quite fiery. Elksia was energetic and quick to anger, Retvik was always overly proud and unwilling to admit he was wrong. As they aged, … Read more
Elksia had been bouncing excitedly non-stop since she boarded Shield Six and the battered old ship had disappeared into the void. She’d been excited the whole time, because she’d accidentally discovered what Kal’s plans were, and when she told them, she offered to help and they all said yes. Which made her even more excited. … Read more
The only ship that had been leaving the Phantai’s base lately had been Shield Six. While the whole sector was still suffering the lingering effects of the strongest vacuum storm in a decade, the ancient, tattered ship was the only thing capable of travelling through the weaker edges of the storm without any real problems. … Read more
“So, uh, you’re actually leaving?” Kaytee tutted as he started packing away his handful of belongings. The final date that the Thantir would be moving on hadn’t been decided yet, but Kaytee had decided to get everything ready as soon as possible. Now that Kaytee thought about it though, he… kinda didn’t really own anything. … Read more
