Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Hey, Tahvra, how are you doing?” Tahvra blinked. He had been staring out of the observatory window. How long had he been sitting there? Tahvra wasn’t sure. In his hands was one of his new favourite possessions, a buildable action figure in the shape of his best friend. Tahvra continued to blink, not really sure … Read more
Vekeus hesitated as he stepped onto the quiet Stardawn Straights Life Oasis, and pulled his cloak around himself. This particular oasis was open to all Periuniversal Void entities, including Voidborns, but today, the only important beings hanging around were a couple of Life Goddesses and their small group of eight Divine Guardians, deities programmed to … Read more
Things had finally settled down on the Shimmering Blade, and the last few days had been spent with constant Phantai patrols, wiping out any remaining Voidborn ships. In fact, today, not a single Voidborn vessel had been seen across the entirety of the sector. However, the Thantir though were all relaxing and doing precisely nothing. … Read more
Moonblade was pretty sure he was in the wrong observatory, but this one was quiet and empty and he needed to sit down for a bit. Like many of the Phantai, he was rather tipsy, having had too much to drink while celebrating. But the more Moonblade had to drink, the more he felt that … Read more
While the Phantai main ranks were busy celebrating the demise of the leader of the Crystal Doom and the destruction of their main ship, things were much quieter on the top level of the Shimmering Blade, where Retvik had taken Litvir in order to talk privately. They quickly locked themselves in their private quarters, before … Read more
Retvik struggled to remain upright as Litvir wrapped his arms around him, holding Retvik a little too tightly and clearly sobbing, showing a lot of emotions that were out of place for a Rethan. Really, considering Retvik’s injuries, he was amazed he could even stand up, and Galyn, Itaviir and Vikalos had all offered to … Read more
Everything was cold and dark, but Retvik could feel something warm, drifting nearby. At first, he thought he was dead, but the sickening pain radiating across his body told him he was definitely still alive. There was definitely something jutting out of Retvik’s stomach, probably a piece of debris, he could feel blood leaking out … Read more
Elkay was pretty sure that he had somehow blown his cover and his disguise, but as he edged down a rather cramped hallway, none of the Voidborn minions had attempted to touch him. In fact, some of them had moved out of the way, allowing Elkay to pass. Despite the fact that Elkay had been … Read more
“Careful now, boys!” Elksia seemed way too chirpy considering what was going on. The Life Goddess ship “Yisini” had fastened itself to the side of the Diamond, the Voidborn mothership, and she and Elkay had just cut a large hole into the side of said mothership, allowing them entry into the dark depths below. All … Read more
The Life Goddess ship “Epani” silently slipped past two Voidborn vessels, before making its way towards the front of the vast, pyramid-shaped prismatic ship known as the Diamond, what was believed to be the headquarters and mothership of the Crystal Doom. They’d managed to pass the Diamond’s automated defences with ease, mostly because “Epani” had … Read more
“What the fuck was that?” Vikalos snarled as he tried to stifle the vomit in the back of his throat. Standing by his feet was Tah, the leader of the tiny team of Decay Lords that had recently joined the Thantir. “Sorry, my teleportation is pretty nauseating to organics!” Tah apologized. “But we had to … Read more
Vikalos couldn’t place the expression Galyn was pulling as he led him and Itaviir down to the lowest level of the Shimmering Blade, to a large, unused gathering hall. Ever since they had returned from their little mall trip, none of the Tattered Navigators had been acting quite right. Itaviir had been colder and grumpier … Read more
“You feeling well, dear?” Litvir had gone back to his shared personal quarters for a quick nap after fifteen hours on his feet, but he was surprised to see Retvik standing by the edge of the bed. “I thought you had work or something?” Litvir asked, shifting over so Retvik could lie down next to … Read more
The Thantir Three was a small ship, not really designed for long distance travel. However, it was perfect for training, not just for piloting but also gun aim as well. That was one of the reasons why Retvik had taken it out for a ride, alongside Tenuk, Phovos, Elksia and Eksi. The reason Retvik had … Read more
This observatory had once been publicly accessible to anyone on the Shimmering Blade, but after the Voidborn elite known as Krohniak had attached the ship, as a thank you for saving everyone, the observatory was now only accessible to the Thantir, and it had been converted into a safe space where the Decaylings (and occasionally … Read more
