Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Teekay blinked several times, then picked himself up off the floor. Everything around him seemed to be cold, black stone. The floor beneath him felt cool and damp, and drips of unknown fluids dribbled from the ceiling. Unsure where he was, his first action was to send a telepathic message, to find his friends. “Uh, … Read more
“They have been gone for a while.” “What?” Elksi popped her head out from the kitchen and glanced at Retvik, who was standing in front of the glass elevator. “I said, Tenuk and Phovos have been gone for a while.” “That’s weird!” Elksi decided to leave the kitchen and see what Retvik was looking at. … Read more
“I do not remember there being so many corpses around here…” The Dessaron landed on a patch of dirty grass, not too far away from the villa. Despite the floral aromas, everything looked like it dead dead or dying. Around the edge of this floating island was a wall of Voidborn shells and armour, left … Read more
“Oh no…” Retvik tutted as he examined the navigation console. “What’s wrong?” Phovos asked as she steered the ship over a meteor field. Rather than fly through it, they had opted to fly over the meteors, but there was still the odd meteor that needed deflecting. “I have just realised where we are going…” Retvik … Read more
“Got another mission for us, boss?” Tenuk asked as he and his crew stepped into Galyn’s office. “Is it a fun one?” Galyn glanced down at Tenuk and grunted. “Yes, a new mission. This one should be somewhat familiar to you.” Tenuk’s mates, Retvik, Elksi and Phovos, all sat down in the four chairs in … Read more
“Tenuk, Elksi! We heard explosions, is everything-” Retvik did not have a chance to finish his sentence. Neither did he want to. What was once a fancy, gold-trimmed hall was now utterly stained by blood, brains and shards of skull. In the centre of the room was a large, shimmering sphere, which was slowly dissolving. … Read more
“Another one, seriously?” Phovos sighed as she wiped golden blood off the head of her axe. “Another one, unfortunately, Phovos…” Retvik also sighed. The pair of heroes were in the middle of cleaning themselves up after a battle with far too many gilded beasts, all sent to kill them. “I don’t get why they bother!” … Read more
“Why have we stopped?” Phovos asked as she peered through the window. Outside was a very small planetoid, covered in pink grass, which the ship was currently anchored to. Aside from the grass though, there was little else to see, just the odd patch of dirt, and a couple of puddles. Amazingly, there was also … Read more
“Wait, which one of us is the scary one?” Tenuk asked as he read the sign on the door. “It says only our most ferocious member can enter.” The Dessaron glanced at each other, all shrugging and unsure. “Maybe we should vote?” Phovos suggested. “Sure thing!” Elksi giggled. “I vote for Phovos!” Tenuk nodded his … Read more
“So let me get this straight. We came here to kill this slaver, free all these thropic demigods and then take that massive crystal up there?” “Seems like it, Phovos…” Retvik grunted, tapping his long, flaming sword against the large, winged, multi-eyed creature that was lying lifeless on the ground in front of them, dressed … Read more
“Are you alright, dear?” Phovos snapped back into reality as Retvik opened the door to his room. “Yeah… I’m fine…” Retvik didn’t believe Phovos, but decided not to fight back. After all, she was clearly in a world of her own. “Do you want to come in?” “Uh… Yeah, I guess…” Phovos quietly stepped inside … Read more
“Boss, you there?” Galyn picked up his communicator. “I am here. Is everything well, Elksi?” “Yep! We just finished! The bug problem has been eradicated. Can we come back? Or is there more you need us to do out here?” “I have no open tasks for you, so you are free to return, if you … Read more
“Can we do that again?” Phovos asked as she bounced up and down on the corpse of an arachnid that was way, way too large. “Do what again?” Tenuk asked in return, wiping green and blue glowing blood off his staff. “Fight these horrible mistakes again?” Phovos bounced up and down some more. “Yes! It … Read more
“Theocydes.” It had taken a long time, trying to find the exact position of the small, silver sphere. Voidborn ships were always a bit weird, but they were also somewhat manipulative with space-time, phasing in and out and rarely staying still. However, this specific ship had actually stopped moving, after a multi-day chase through the … Read more
“Sending us off so soon?” Elksi teased as Galyn, her boss, entered the room, ducking under the doorway so that his horns would not get caught. “We just got back!” Galyn eyed Elksi, then turned his attention to the rest of the small office. “There are always new things to do. Please, sit down and … Read more
