Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“I am still unsure.” “Unsure about this fire contest thingy?” “Yes.” Phovos stretched out on the bed, her little, clawed feet dangling off it. She had just been chilling in her private quarters until Retvik had arrived, and he had brought cake. “Why?” “It seems a bit beyond me.” “How so?” Retvik was just sitting … Read more
“Have you got fire in your belly? Flames in your soul? Heat in your head? Then maybe you might be the next Fireheart King! Once again, the Overflame is calling for fire deities to step forward and enter the Contest of Flames, to prove their power and resolve, and perhaps claim the title of Fireheart … Read more
“Wow.” Phovos looked up as she realized that she wasn’t alone. “Oh, hi Retvik.” “Hello…” Retvik was clearly staring at Phovos, his mouth slightly open. “You look… amazing.” “I do?” “Yes.” Phovos smiled a little, then put her stuff, mainly her handbag and keys, down on the little table by the door. But there was … Read more
“So why am I hanging upside down?” Retvik tutted to himself as his hands scraped across the ground. “And how have you managed to hang me upside down so badly?” Teekay and Eksi glanced at each other, then both shrugged. “Eksi thought it might be easier to mind control you if all your blood rushed … Read more
Retvik grunted as consciousness returned to him. He couldn’t remember passing out, and was rather shocked to find that he had been tied up to a chair. A rather small, uncomfortable chair. “Ah, you are finally awake!” Litvir smiled while standing way, way too close. He was practically in Retvik’s face. “Welcome to An Idiot’s … Read more
“Relkir, Litvir, are either of you busy currently?” The two Rethans turned and stared at the doorway where Retvik was standing somewhat awkwardly. “We are on our break, so no, we are not busy,” Relkir shrugged, approaching his titanic half-brother. The three of them used to be of similar sizes, but now that Retvik was … Read more
“I feel bad for asking.” “Why?” “Well, it is a little bit unfair on you.” “I don’t mind though. If I didn’t want to, I’d tell you.” “Hm. I guess so. But still…” “But what?” “I… I do not know.” “Would you like a treat?” “Yes, I think I would. Hence the fact I took … Read more
“Hey, Ret, dear, you okay?” Retvik tutted and sighed as he pushed food across his plate. He was hungry and not hungry at the same time, but he didn’t want to waste what he had. What Retvik really wanted to do was eat something very sweet, but he needed a proper meal first. “Retvik?” Retvik … Read more
“I thought you said this place was gonna blow?” “Well, I was wrong.” The demi-gods all sat around the remains of a glass elevator, not really sure what was doing on. They had raced down the elevator, which had shuddered and shook as the castle above them vibrated violently. However, rather than exploding or anything … Read more
“Master, I have brought the… leader of the group.” Retvik dropped Litvir’s unconscious body onto the cold, damp floor in front of the Voidborn’s golden throne, then remained still, waiting for a response. “I can see…” the Voidborn smiled slightly, adjusting his position on the throne, leaning forward slightly. “Why have you brought it to … Read more
“Litvir is down…” “Where is he?” “I do not know. I will be honest, I am somewhat lost. I cannot find where Retvik took Litvir, and I believe that Phovos is loose again, despite me having knocked her out and kept her down.” “Oh. That’s not good.” Eksi and Teekay both glanced at each other. … Read more
I don’t want to. What do you mean, you don’t want to? Of course you want to. I don’t want to. I just don’t. Why not? To hunt is your deepest instinct. You want to hunt. Why deny it? I normally get to choose what I hunt though. I don’t want to hunt them. Again, … Read more
Heavy footsteps pounded down the dark, cramped corridor, sending echoes bouncing off the stone walls. The owner of the footsteps growled aggressively, getting angrier with each passing moment. “I expected you to run, but not for this long, Litvir. Submit yourself to me, and I will make your death quick. Agonizing, but quick.” “I will … Read more
Eksi sighed to himself as yet another fireball whizzed past his head. It had been a good couple of minutes that Eksi had been sitting there, behind some ruined cover, while the Mage of the Dessaron spammed balls of various elements in his direction. Occasionally, Eksi would lean over the cover and fire back with … Read more
“I did not know you could breathe fire.” Relkir ducked and weaved past streams of flames, making sure to keep his wings tucked in. Occasionally, he would return fire using his own gun staff, but his weaponry seemed to do nothing to slow the Raptor down. Every projectile that connected instantly healed up, leaving no … Read more
