Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Oh, hello Elkay…” “Hello, Arkay. Did not expect to see you here too…” Underneath the main island of Savepoint were several small caves. The biggest cave was only really accessible by Kal or the smaller teleporters, and contained some strange Life Goddess machinery that no one was allowed to touch, because it provided both gravity … Read more
Kuta watched from the sleeping quarters, a good distance away, as Ret was clearly setting up a picnic on the beach. The eight new Decaylings currently were on break, having finished study time, and as soon as they’d finished, they’d all somewhat gone their separate ways for a bit. But Kuta had been asked to … Read more
“I will be blunt, I do not understand this idea of celebrating days getting longer or shorter… But I did buy everything on the list, as directed!” For reasons only Kaytee and Arkay understood, Vikalos had been dressed up in some strange attire. He, Galyn and Itaviir had returned from their shopping trip a few … Read more
“Hey, guys, do we have any plans for the next few days?” Retvik blinked, having just woken up. Sure, he was in a loving relationship with two cute people, but he wasn’t used to spending all night with both of them in a bed that was way too small, and waking up with Arkay sitting … Read more
Lately, all six of Kal hadn’t had a chance to sit down together, but, all of a sudden, they did. Thank yet again to the person who had made them all individuals. And now they finally had a chance to catch up with Arkay. But they were doing so together, because, despite being pretty powerful … Read more
“When you said “flying lessons”, I thought we were going to learn how to fly a ship or something!” Tanos exclaimed as he and his fellow Decaylings all lined up in front of Elkay and Saahro. “Flying a ship?” Ret laughed hesitantly. “Kuta does not even have a driving license.” “To be fair, most Rethans … Read more
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
