Adventures in the Space Between Universes
There was a very large ship hovering above Savepoint, as large as the floating island itself. That would have been more concerning if the ship didn’t have the words “The Pentathax Three” blasted on every side. “Do you know these guys?” Arkay asked as a smaller ship disconnected from beneath the larger ship and slowly … Read more
“So, what do you guys think?” Nyssi, Tenuk and Retvik all glanced at Kayel. The four of them were sitting on the small beach on the lake at Savepoint, keeping to themselves. They’d spent the morning reading through various text books and asking the two Decay Lords looking after them lots of questions. Now, they … Read more
Sini didn’t think her little brother was much of a hugger, but Arkay had been hugging Sini for a little too long now. “Thank you so much, Sini. Thank you.” Finally, Arkay let go, and Sini patted her little brother on the head. “You don’t need to thank me. I was just keeping my promise. … Read more
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
