Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Vikalos stood dumbfounded in the hallway as Itaviir knocked on the little door. “You cannot be serious!” “I am plenty serious.” “You cannot entrust this baby Decayling to even make a half-decent cheese sandwich, let alone create-” Vikalos paused, realising the door had opened, revealing its occupant and the contents of its room. Arkay sighed. … Read more
“… All the protection you have. Even the new guys. We need literally as much protection as you can give us!” “That is what we are trying to do, but we are heavily understaffed right-” “Doesn’t matter. Just give us everything you can. We need bodies more than anything else.” “We will see what we … Read more
Tahnahos wasn’t sure how, but between the four of them, they had managed to finish off nearly all the food in the palace. They’d also had a lovely time sharing stories and generally chatting around a small fire that Retvik had made in the middle of the table. Overall, Tahnahos was very happy to have … Read more
It had been nice having the last couple of days to himself, but Retvik was beginning to get bored. He had dutifully done his work, he had managed to easily work his way through his Decay Lord studies and now Retvik was wondering what to do with himself. Lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, … Read more
“Good morning, class, and welcome to Life Goddess Laws 101! I am Decay Lord Seimeni and I’ll be teaching you this course in the mystical universe-building arts!” Arkay glanced over his shoulder, trying to work out who else the slender, white, ghostly being was talking to. It was just him and the single Decay Lord … Read more
Retvik grunted as a knock on the door behind him broke his concentration. He was currently working his way through a series of videos and course books, all about what he needed to learn when it came to the Decay Lords. A lot of it was simple stuff. Rules, guidelines, terms of service. But some … Read more
Rethais wasn’t really sure what he had did to be the subject of the High General’s rage. He had done everything that Kenon had asked and more. He had barely stopped to eat and his office was now his home. Yet for some reason, the High General was furious at him. Actually, now that Rethais … Read more
“I am surprised you asked nicely, little Decaylings…” the Whenvern growled as he hovered above the ship, blocking its passengers from passing. “I expected to see more of you, in force.” Kairos eyed the two beings up and down. One of them he immediately recognized. Retvik had been a former mortal in Kairos’s previous universe … Read more
“Didn’t think we’d be seeing you again so soon…” Kal grunted as Retvik boarded the ship. “Turns out your universe exploding has been way more troublesome than the High Lords thought.” “Uh… yes…” Retvik muttered, not really sure how to reply. He felt bad because he genuinely couldn’t tell which of the 6 personalities was … Read more
“LEAVE ME ALONE!” “YOU ARE MINE!” “I DON’T BELONG TO ANYONE!” Retvik was pretty sure that was the second explosion he had experienced in about thirty seconds, but what with everything going on and him being buried in rubble, he couldn’t have been sure. There was a huge amount of shouting and screaming going on … Read more
“Can they see us or hear us yet?” Arkay asked as he tried to remain calm and steady on the small stool he was sitting on. In front of him, a couple of Decay Lords that he didn’t really recognize were busy setting up a camera and a microphone, so he could talk to a … Read more
“What part of “no contact with the Decayling” does your Life Goddess not understand?” Vikalos snarled as he answered the video call. “You need to back away from this immediately!” The tiny little deity on the other end of the line was visibly shaken, having jumped out of his skin from how loud Vikalos’s words … Read more
Arkay stared wearily at the strange glass walls that made up his liquid cell. He had been bobbing up and down in the clear, viscous fluids for goodness knows how long, but only now had Arkay realised what was going on. These curious and powerful beings were trying to heal him. Why, Arkay didn’t know, … Read more
“What do you mean, no?” Itaviir and Vikalos both sighed and rolled their eyes. Neither of them particularly enjoyed dealing with Life Goddesses, normally because they would complain constantly and wish to speak to higher ups until they got what they wanted. The never-ending stream of criticism and wishing to move problems up the chain … Read more
“Could you please explain the plan one last time?” Retvik had been struggling to keep up. After spending a couple of hours in quarantine, where he had been frozen then set on fire then frozen again, he was now helping Vikalos push a large, opaque crystal into a ship in the Thantir loading bay. Vikalos … Read more
