The Thantir

Together For A Bit

by

“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

A Brief Split

by

“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

Assorted Messages

by

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

Going Elsewhere

by

“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

Brutal Insanity

by

Litvir wasn’t quite sure where his lower intestine was. To be fair, he didn’t particularly need it any more, he hadn’t eaten solid food in at least a month, but it was currently missing, having been torn out by the rampaging beast that abruptly broken free in the middle of a mental scan, in which … Read more

Third’s Rage

by

As Retvik made his way down to the cockpit, he was feeling very unsure about things. In his hand was Galyn’s personal communicator, which he had been scanning through for the last ten minutes. The plan was supposed to have been simple, to call Galyn’s old companions, his other Thirds, and get them to help … Read more

Stabilizing Failure

by

“I hate this body…” Tah clicked and crackled as his old, battered form jolted back into life. His current body was currently lying on the ground, since Tah’s Krana-brain wasn’t powering it, but considering what had just happened with Galyn going insane and attacking everyone, they needed someone that Galyn recognized. And, according to Litvir’s … Read more

Sudden Madness

by

Green, slightly corrosive goo covered the walls and the room’s occupants as Galyn exploded back to life, pulling himself out of his healing cocoon. After taking a few moments to remember how to be alive and conscious, the elder Decay Lord scanned his surroundings, trying to work out where he was. “Did that happen last … Read more

Mass Fainting

by

“Hey, uh, General Retvik, is Relkir going to be alright?” Retvik grunted as he glanced down at Teekay, the almost silver-skinned Skyavok that had been hovering outside this bedroom door for a while now. “Yes, Relkir will be fine. But please do not call me ‘General’, I have no right to use that title.” Teekay … Read more

Adaptation Overload

by

“Alright now, deep breaths.” Relkir did as he was told, taking long, drawn out breaths. But Relkir was currently not in reality. He was trapped within his own mind, lying in a field of fluffy grey clouds, staring up into a pitch black sky littered with small, red points of light. As to why Relkir … Read more

Suddenly Online

by

Litvir slammed the door to his personal quarters, then double-checked to make sure it was locked, before making his way to his desk, where his tablet was lying. As he opened the tablet up, a wave of dread washed over Litvir, wondering what horrible messages he’d find. However, as his eyes scanned the screen and … Read more

Ceti Asteri

by

“Hey, Gah, when you accepted this job, did they mention that they were a Ceti Asteri?” The blue-painted Cleanser popped his head into the cockpit of the Thantir Two, where his sibling Koh was sitting, alongside the Decay Lord Retvik and two Decaylings, Tenuk and Tahvra, who had been making sure that they were going … Read more

Reasonable Ending

by

“Fuck off, Ret-” Phovos spun around to see who was knocking on her door. With everything that had been going on lately, things on the Thantir Two had been rather busy, especially since they’d kinda picked up some new allies. While it had been lovely seeing Akah and Tahvra again, and Kal were a perfectly … Read more
