Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
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
“Thanks for agreeing to come with us, Akah!” Leh clicked with excitement as the ship Shield Six began to slow down, approaching what looked like a dark, rocky mass ahead. “Normally we’d be doing this stuff in secret, but you and your four-finger-and-a-thumb hands and lean, upright, tail-less form are so, so helpful when it … Read more
Elkay sighed to himself as he sat on the very top of the Shimmering Blade and gazed off into the distance. Normally, the colossal Phantai vessel would be swiftly travelling through the perpetual darkness, patrolling its territories alongside a fleet of smaller ships, but a vast vacuum storm had brought the ship to a complete … Read more
“Hey babe…” It was incredibly difficult to do so, but as Elkay heard the voice of his beloved partner and felt their hand brush his, Elkay immediately grabbed onto Teekay and pulled him into a tight a hug as he could manage. Which, considering how drugged up he was, wasn’t very tight. “Teekay, dear, I … Read more
“RETURN UNENDER TO US, THIS INSTANT!” The Overlord was caught unaware at how quickly a member of the Thantir would make their way to the main Deathven base and rudely interrupt a council meeting between the Overlord and his fellow Higher Decay Lords. The Overlord thought he’d have at least ten hours before someone turned … Read more
“So, uh, did we do it?” Teekay asked as he picked himself up off the floor, not having noticed the colossal monster of a being standing before them. “Maybe?” Eksi replied, surprised that he and Teekay were the first to climb to their feet. They were followed by Tenuk, Tahvra and Akah, then the two … Read more
“So we have to… kill a small sun?” The eight Thantir Decaylings were currently sheltered inside a large, icy dome, with walls at least 30cm thick. Akah was doing his best to make sure that the walls remained intact as they were steadily being clawed away by the horde of blackened monsters outside. Everyone else … Read more
