Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Kinisis grunted and groaned as she rubbed her head, feeling very much how a Life Goddess shouldn’t. All around her were her caring Guardians, the twelve divine beings she had created from mere mortals, designed to look after her and support her. Standing directly in front of her was Phovos, the Ksithan Guardian and probably … Read more
Tahnahos sipped his mug of soup as he wandered down the main hallway, all the way down into the navigation chamber. Technically it was a cockpit, but his boss seemed to hate that word, so it was the navigation room. The clear plastic doors immediately slid open so Tahnahos could pass, letting him into the … Read more
“Phovos, you there?” Phovos grunted as her little telepathic communicator sprung to life. The other Guardians were messaging her from the ship outside, while she was on duty watching over their boss. “I am. What is the problem?” “Is Kinisis still with you?” the high pitched mind-voice squeaked. Phovos immediately recognized that Tahvra was communicating … Read more
“Well that completely backfired…” Tahnahos grunted as the ship door slammed shut. “I genuinely don’t think that could have gone any worse if we’d tried.” Tahnahos’s complaining though was met with a handful of shrugs from his fellow guardians. Most of the Twelve had gone to bed, giving up on trying to cheer Kinisis up, … Read more
“Well, Kinisis is in a foul mood…” Relkir growled as he picked himself up off the floor and dusted himself down. The Life Goddess had been throwing things around for the last few hours, and that had included all the Guardians who had attempted to calm her down. While Atteh’Kus was lying unconscious in the … Read more
“Hey…” The voice in the dark surprised Tahnahos. He had been sitting in the cockpit, minding his own business, keeping an eye on the ship and its maintenance while everyone else was asleep. Kinisis had demanded that her Guardians take her to a specific Life Oasis on the very edge of the new Phoviversal Void, … 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
“Hello, Elkay.” Relkir jumped, immediately drawing his spear and shield, ready to protect his two fellow Guardians. He had simply been accompanying Tahvra and Teekay as they traced a strange signal into this small cave, but now there was a large, fiery being standing in their way. “What are you and what are you doing … Read more
“Hello, Life Goddess Kinisis.” “Heya! How can we help ya?” Kinisis beamed as the colossal being stood at the bottom of the ramp to her ship, far too large to actually enter it. By the being’s side were several guards or servants or… whatever they were, Kinisis wasn’t sure. A black and red draconic being … Read more
“So, uh, what is that?” Kinisis had been quiet for hours, silently peering at a piece of black fabric through a comically sized tiny microscope. Her Guardians had been watching her the entire time, waiting for Kinisis to make any sort of announcement. “What is what?” Kinisis muttered, clearly not paying attention. “The thing you … Read more
Asteroids weren’t at all uncommon across the void, but there was something particularly curious about this hunk of rock, floating mindlessly on its own. It wasn’t even the fact that this rock had an atmosphere, it was that there seemed to be something living on it. The rock itself was mostly nothing but grey. It … Read more
Ever since the meeting with Kinisis, where everyone had managed to get a few questions answered, things had mostly calmed down. More than that, everyone had very quickly warmed up to each other, no longer that bothered about them all being different. The differences were only on the surface, and everyone was being friendlier than … Read more
The twelve beings all sat in a circle, wondering what was going on. Kinisis had said she wanted to talk, and there they were, waiting for her. All around them were soft cushions, bowls of food and glasses of drinks, to keep them all occupied until the Mistress arrived. They all knew she was coming … Read more
The Mess was where everyone ate. What the twelve Guardians ate was different, each being would eat according to their own specific diets, but the squeaky clean hall complete with benches and magically refilling buffets, complete with magical glasses that never needed filling up. And then, when everyone was done, everything would be magically cleaned … Read more
“Play that again for me, please.” Teekay did as he was told, scrolling back through the recording and hitting the play button so his queen could view the audio again. This was the third time Teekay had replayed the recording, and each time he hadn’t heard anything. This room wasn’t very big, and it was … Read more
