Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Arkay groaned as he collapsed in the captain’s seat in the cockpit, staring out the window. Outside, one of the other Decay Lord ships was preparing to leave, its engines warming up and its name, Zetana Seven, plastered on the side. Filling the open cargo bay doors on the docked side were two heavily built … Read more
“Alrighty, should all be fixed. Gonna take quite a while for the ship to finish its self repairs, but otherwise you’re all good to go!” “Uh, thank you… You didn’t need to…” “It’s fine, mate. Least we can do, us Decay Lords gotta look out for each other. See ya round!” “Uh, bye, thank you…” … Read more
“I just finished fixing tha-” Retvik was unable to finish his sentence as he was rudely thrown against the outside wall of the Thantir Two. The hit caused Retvik to buckle, and shudder, his recovery time being far too low. Standing above him was a familiar face, that of a vengeful Voidborn, clad in gold … Read more
The flood of shouts and panic had very abruptly disappeared, replaced with a stunned, eery silence that almost made no sense. The atmosphere, what little there was, glowed bright orange, flames flickering across its edge. But the source of those flames was completely immobile, held in place by sheer will alone. “Uh… a little help, … Read more
Leaves and vines exploded everywhere as Galyn violently burst out of his regenerative cocoon. After taking a moment to remember how to be alive and conscious, the Decay Lord took a long, deep breath, tasting and smelling his surroundings. Beneath the pungent, acidic smell of his own regenerative fluids, he could sense old carpet, singed … Read more
“Lookin’ for somethin’?” Arkay nodded, his eyes glued to the vast wall of confectionery. He had come into this little void kiosk looking to do some much needed shopping, but the brightness and sweetness of this corner of the kiosk was almost hypnotic to him. All Arkay had seen in a long time had been … Read more
“Good news, we are alive. Bad news, the ship is basically dead. Or at least large parts of it are.” The left hand side of the Thantir Two was mostly fine. The right hand side had been heavily damaged. Most of the living space was now uninhabitable and, thanks to a failure in the heating … Read more
A small shudder was the only precursor to the violent blast that rocked the whole ship. Debris from the remains of a passing minor planet had struck not just the Thantir Two but the small Decay Lord-run pit stop they had been anchored to, causing a few too many failures. From one of the observatories, … Read more
The team of Decay Lords were finally taking a break, after hours of ship repairs. While Arkay was in the kitchen, preparing drinks and sandwiches for everyone, Litvir decided that now was probably a good time to get some questions off his mind. After all, he was the newest to all this god-based stuff, but … Read more
“Ugh, I really, really fucked up.” The tiny pod was barely big enough for one occupant, yet there were four seats wedged into it, two of them empty. This pod was going straight to the Decay Lord stronghold known as Deathven, and normally the trip would be instantaneous, but apparently there was some delay in … Read more
“They have been in there a while.” “They are packaging up two deities so they can be slingshotted across the multiverse and sent to a care home so far away that numbers lose meaning. Of course it will take some time. But yes, they have been in there a while.” Litvir and Retvik both sighed … Read more
“I SAID NO!” Kalis braced himself as he was blown out of the room, into the hallway and through the door opposite. He had clearly struck a nerve, but he didn’t think Arkay would lash out like that. With a snarl, and ignoring the fact that he had just accidentally broken into Litvir’s room, Kalis … Read more
“Wait, Death’s Heaven is real?” Galyn nodded. “It is.” “Is it… as the name suggests, heaven?” “Yes.” Kalis’s eyes widened. He had come to speak to this ancient Decay Lord about the worrying thoughts in the back of his mind. Years of abuse and programming that Kalis was worried could make him suddenly snap. But … Read more
“Hey, you busy?” Arkay grunted as he wiped spit from his mouth, then reached for a towel to clean his face. That was the third time he had thrown up horrible gold ooze and now he was getting a little concerned. “Arkay?” Standing by the door was Kalis, the little half-Life Goddess that had saved … Read more
Galyn’s eyes clicked open, scanning the environment before Galyn himself was properly conscious. Once he was certain it was safe to move, Galyn slowly sat upright, trying to work out where he was and what had happened. Immediately though, one word struck his mind: Failure. The Voidborn entity had proven to be too strong. Not … Read more
