Working With Blades

“So, uh, you’re actually leaving?” Kaytee tutted as he started packing away his handful of belongings. The final date that the Thantir would be moving on hadn’t been decided yet, but Kaytee had decided to get everything ready as soon as possible. Now that Kaytee thought about it though, he… kinda didn’t really own anything. … Read more

“So, how can we repay you?” Really, in Telin’s eyes, it was almost insulting having the Tattered Navigators in his grand office, but since Retvik and Litvir had requested their presence, Telin was in no real position to say no. The Great Blades had arranged a meeting with the youngling Thantir leaders, and they seemed … Read more

“WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU TWO? YOU HAD ME WORRIED SICK!” The average temperature in the main canteen of the Shimmering Blade was normally a comfortable 290K, but right now, everything was very quickly heating up, and the Flames of the Phantai were struggling to stop the temperature from rising. However, as Itaviir and Galyn, … Read more

“Hey, Tahvra, how are you doing?” Tahvra blinked. He had been staring out of the observatory window. How long had he been sitting there? Tahvra wasn’t sure. In his hands was one of his new favourite possessions, a buildable action figure in the shape of his best friend. Tahvra continued to blink, not really sure … Read more

Moonblade was pretty sure he was in the wrong observatory, but this one was quiet and empty and he needed to sit down for a bit. Like many of the Phantai, he was rather tipsy, having had too much to drink while celebrating. But the more Moonblade had to drink, the more he felt that … Read more

“So who let you two freaks wander around here alone?” Elkay glanced to his left to see who was interrupting, then rolled his eyes. “In all honesty, I fit in better around here than you do. I can at least make myself look like a standard Phantai soldier.” “Yes but then you would spend several … Read more

“Ugh… where am I?” Litvir sat up straight and tried to move his arm to rub his eyes and neck, only to find that his right arm was stiff and his left was wrapped up in some sort of medical device that was both drip-feeding him medicine and fluids and keeping a constant check on … Read more

“I want to leave the Phantai.” Lightblade looked down at the small Decay Lord sitting on the other side of his desk. The last time Lightblade had heard someone say that to him, they had taken one of Lightblade’s best soldiers and left to form their own sect. Most of the Phantai were simple, happy … Read more

No matter what Retvik did, he couldn’t cool himself down. He’d turned off the flames that rippled up his body, he’d spent a good fifteen minutes standing in the shower, he’d even stuck his head (and partially melted) the freezer in a bid to lower his internal body temperature, but no, Retvik was still sweating. … Read more

Elksia found herself leaping back and forth, repeating herself, going around in circles. But no matter what she did, the Phantai in front of her was still lying there, unmoving. No, not unmoving. Dead. Gone. Another attempt. Elksia tried to alter the time threads around the battle. But no, every single time thread led to … Read more

Eksi sighed to himself as someone sat down next to him. He’d gone to the canteen to get some food and get away from all the medically telepath-y stuff he’d been doing over the last few hours to rest his brain for a bit, so he didn’t really appreciate this sudden company. However, as Eksi … Read more

Tah was confused. To be fair, confusion was one of the more common emotions both for Tah and across the Space Between Universes overall, but still, this confusion bothered Tah. He was currently sitting on a bed that was way, way too large for him, watching as patients and medics wandered past. A couple of … Read more

“I am exhausted…” Tenuk eyed Teekay as he held an ice pack to his head. The Thantir Decaylings were all relaxing in a small offshoot observatory, staying out of the way of the Phantai Decay Lords while they tidied themselves up. Someone had requested that the entire room be filled with soft cushions and a … Read more
