Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Kallus cowered in the corner, hiding behind piles of destroyed cargo, terrified and completely unsure what to do. What had been the first peaceful moment he’d had in decades had abruptly turned into carnage, as his Master had stumbled across him and his target both just… talking to each other. As soon as Lord Theocydes … Read more
Weapons clashed against each other, armour scraped across armour and blood and sweat had been exchanged for a little too long. Throughout this entire fight though, Retvik was pretty sure that Rethanius hadn’t stopped shouting once. No matter how many times the two warriors crashed into each other, no matter how hard they struck each … Read more
Litvir shook his head, desperately trying to clear the fog from his mind. He concentrated on the floor beneath him, the weird, golden indentations on each floor tile. In the sudden conflict, Litvir must have stumbled out of the cargo bay and onto… something. He wasn’t sure, and his mind was still clouded. Really, Litvir … Read more
Kallus scrambled his way through the narrow ship, not exactly sure what he was looking for. His master had told him to kill a Life Goddess, so that was what Kallus was going to do, but he was otherwise low on instructions. What did this Life Goddess look like? He didn’t really know. He was … Read more
“We are gonna board them?” Rethanius hissed as he tugged on the chains around Kallus’s neck. “Of course we are! What are you, dumb?” “But why?” Kallus was confused. Whenever they had stopped Mortemnan ships in the past, they’d just gone and blown them up straight away. If anyone ever survived, only then would Kallus … Read more
“Uh, Galyn? Need some help here!” Arkay hurriedly hit the massive emergency stop button up above him, but to his dismay, the ship hadn’t quite slowed down as much as he’d hoped. There was still a lot of forward momentum, moving towards the massive silver pyramid that had just appeared in front of them. Thankfully, … Read more
The tiny moon looked desolate at first, but as the miniature sun slowly orbited around it, it became clear that it was no ordinary planetoid. The entire sphere was approximately 600km in diameter, with a pale blue ocean around both its poles and a strip of land across its equator. Silvery trees and plants could … Read more
“It’s all in my head…” Arkay was definitely feeling a bit better, but not as well as he’d hoped. The medics, the curious, foreign beings that they were, had found nothing wrong with him. Galyn had just somewhat left Arkay at the little hospital, in the care of the mechanical nurses and doctors, citing “sanitation … Read more
“Hey…” Arkay peered into the cockpit, where Galyn had settled down, switching between keeping an eye on autopilot, watching amusing videos, and dozing off. There was nothing to do, so Galyn was taking advantage of the peace and quiet to make some for himself. “You are up late…” Galyn grunted, spotting Arkay’s shadow. “Can you … Read more
Litvir had briefly forgotten where he was, which had made both waking up, the banging on the door and the suddenly being thrown out of bed somewhat terrifying. Luckily, Litvir managed to roll over and avoid bashing his head on the nearby bedside cabinet, but still, that was not a good way to wake up, … Read more
Retvik tossed and turned, kicking his blanket off before grabbing it and pulling it back, only to kick it off again. He wasn’t able to sleep and he wasn’t really sure why. There was no one around to disturb him, there was little on his mind. He’d stripped off all his non-organic armour and even … Read more
The catacombs of Thre-Vretania were vast, empty, and normally rather calm. In the distant past, these water-ridden caves had been sanctuary to early Rethavok. The darkness had been used as cover not just to spawn, but also as a source of protection and safety from other races. In modern times though, the catacombs had been … Read more
“Arkay, are you alright? You have been sitting up on the roof for hours.” Arkay glanced behind him to see who was speaking. He hadn’t really been paying attention, all he’d heard was a couple of muttered words, his mind occupied elsewhere. The Thantir Two had stopped at the tiniest of tiny interstellar pit stops, … Read more
Litvir stared at the ceiling, absent-mindedly trying to sift through the vast amount of thoughts rushing through his head. He was lying in a large, luxurious bed, covered in soft, velvet pillows, completely nude aside from his natural plating and a thin, silky wrap covering his waist, the only thing keeping him vaguely decent. This … Read more
Galyn originally didn’t want to interrupt, but he had been watching Arkay work for a while now, and he was pretty sure that the little Decayling was in need of a break. Arkay had been cautiously and repeatedly measuring various distances and making all sorts of calculations, yet he didn’t seem to be making much … Read more
