Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“You came!” The Flamebearer was rather easy to spot as he approached the small cafe. Waiting for him was Phovos, with a bottle of water and two glasses. “Of course I came,” Retvik blinked as he sat down. “Did you think I would not come?” Phovos hesitated, then shrugged, pouring some water for Retvik. “I … Read more
“Oh. I forgot you were still alive.” The slight smile on Litvir’s face grew ever so slightly as he inspected the two beings in front of him. The smaller of the two was a Skyavok named Teekay, a K-Class specimen with a decade of experience in security and safety. Decked out in mostly silver armour, … Read more
“Well, that was fairly enjoyable.” Eksi leaned against the wall, sliding down it in exhaustion. Somehow, the massive, flaming, heavily armoured Rethavok in front of him seemed completely fine, considering they had just fought and killed… well, whatever that thing was. It was black and ugly but had gold bits randomly scattered across its body. … Read more
“What do you mean, you want to leave?” Kuta was somewhat surprised by how Litvir was acting. He thought Litvir would have been fine with Kuta’s choices. But he seemed rather against Kuta’s ideas. “I want to have a normal life for a bit. What is wrong about that?” Kuta had repeated what he originally … Read more
“Galyn, ser, can we talk please?” Galyn glanced down at the little Decayling. Kuta wasn’t particularly tall, so he was somewhat easy to miss. “Is something bothering you?” Galyn asked. “Yeah. I…” Kuta stuttered. “Can we talk in private?” “Of course.” Galyn picked Kuta up and sat him on a chair, before grabbing a chair … Read more
Itaviir grunted as his communicator rang. Like pretty much every other Decay Lord in Deathven Sector Ypsilon, he had a splitting headache, achy limbs and a gurgling feeling in the space where his stomach would have normally been. After a moment, the communicator turned off, before starting to ring again a few seconds after. “Who … Read more
“This feels wrong.” Kinisis had spotted Galyn wandering around in the water garden, a place he almost never visited. Normally, Galyn spent his time divided, either doing office work or patrolling the outskirts of Kinisis’s Oasis, his appearance alone being enough to scare away potential intruders. “What feels wrong?” Kinisis asked. The Decay Lord turned … Read more
“Is it possible to become a Decay Lord?” Retvik blinked, caught off guard. This seemed to happen to him a lot lately. Mostly because he had made a new friend. Or, rather, finding an old friend from the past. Retvik and Phovos were now firm friends, and Retvik had been enjoying the Raptor’s presence a … Read more
“Hello, are you busy right now?” Phovos glanced at her little communicator, then sighed. She had just finished her work and was too tired to really do anything. “No. Kinda. Dunno.” Another message appeared. “Are you well?” “No.” “Oh. Do you want to talk?” Phovos sighed some more, re-reading the messages that Retvik had sent … Read more
“I do not understand this place…” Kuta groaned to himself as he sat down on a bench. To his left, a small, peaceful stream and running down a perfectly curated miniature forest. To his right was Retvik, who was peacefully eating a bowl of mashed potatoes. It took a moment for Kuta to realize that … Read more
Retvik grunted as he woke up from his nap. He’d just finished a rather long shift doing guard duty for Kinisis’s Life Oasis and had hoped to take a small break before starting on his next job. However, even from his tiny little hotel room, he could hear confused voices all arguing with each other. … Read more
“Hey, uh, Retvik?” “Mhm?” “Can I ask you something?” Retvik shrugged, turning his attention away from the stars glimmering in the distance. After Tenuk and Elksia headed home for some fun, it was now just Retvik and Phovos left in the otherwise empty bar. “What is bothering you?” Retvik asked. “Is something wrong?” Phovos sighed … Read more
“Oh, uh… hi Retvik.” Phovos had been minding her own business, gazing out into the darkness. She was supposed to be changing shifts soon, but for some reason, her boss had dragged everyone else into a meeting, so Phovos had the guard balconies to herself. That was, until a rather fiery Rethavok appeared. “Hello, Phovos, … Read more
“How are you feeling today?” Arkay shrugged, not feeling anything in particular. These little therapy lessons were somewhat weird normally, but today’s meeting was somewhat new. “Did you sleep well?” “Hm…” Arkay muttered. “I guess I slept well.” “You did?” “Yeah. At least I think I did. I set a timer on that white noise … Read more
“R-Retvik?” Tenuk stumbled over his words and thoughts as the flame-cloaked mountain of a Rethavok slowly approached. He knew who he was looking at, but was so surprised that Tenuk couldn’t think of anything to say. Thankfully, Elksia took the initiative and stampeded towards the fire god, with not even a hint of hesitation. “RETVIK … Read more
