Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “This place is way bigger than I thought…” It had taken a while, but the small group of Decaylings had finally found what they were looking for. At the information desk of a currently desolate shop, there was a large sign showing a rough map. On it was an arrow stating their current location, as … Read more
“Good day, everyone, and welcome to your new life!” The unknown, feminine voice echoed ominously through the PA system, creaking and crackling in and out of each room. “As you all should be aware, you stepped into my territory, and thus you all now bow down to me. But don’t worry, little ones. The grasp … Read more
Normally, Lord Vikalos’s office was easy to get to. All one needed to do was continue down the main corridor, take the stairs down one level and his office would be right there on the left. However, with the lack of proper lighting, what should have been a 2 minute walk quickly turned into a … Read more
Ksatah blinked a couple of times as he opened his eyes, only for everything to be dark. According to the small clock next to his bed, the time was about 6:00am. At least, according to the Current Deathven Time system. That time meant that there should have been something coming out from the automatic light … 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
“So how are you feeling today?” Vikalos asked from behind the desk. “Better? Worse?” Arkay shrugged, not completely sure himself. “I… don’t know.” “Is that a negative “don’t know” or a positive one?” “A negative. I kinda feel like something bad is about to happen.” Vikalos tilted his head to one side, scanning the tiny … Read more
“Did any of you feel that?” Kalis, Vetal and Ksatah all looked up from their massive slices of pizza. Arkay had been quiet all day, so his sudden muttering seemed a bit out of place. “Feel what?” Kalis asked as he folded some of his pizza in half then gobbled it down. Arkay shrugged, pushing … 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
“You are up late again, my dear. Are you well?” Rethais grunted as Lysar made her way over, carrying a plate of small, freshly cooked meatballs. The High General had been staring out towards the city for a while now, feeling rather conflicted about, well, lots of things. “Am I well? I cannot truly say…” … Read more
“Hey, Retvik, can I ask a question?” The Raptor and the Rethan glanced at each other as they stared out into the night sky. At the Kinigi Life Oasis, it was always technically night time, but many of the lights were dimmed during off-hours, making everything seem more peaceful. As for Phovos and Retvik, it … Read more
“So why are you here?” Ksatah’s question had caught Arkay off guard. Both of them, as well as their fellow friends Kalis and Vetal, were playing a video game together. They were all located in different apartments, using voice chat, since they weren’t really allowed outside. “Me?” Arkay asked. “Yeah, you.” “Why are you asking?” … 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
“Feel free to roam through this shopping centre. An elder Decay Lord will come by to pick you up in two hours.” Arkay blinked as the sliding doors behind him gently closed, the warm air from outside being replaced by a cool but artificial-seeming breeze. The air conditioning felt like it was on its maximum … 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
“New look?” Vikalos asked as Arkay stepped out from his little apartment. Behind the elder Decay Lord was an entity about the same size and shape as Arkay, but wrapped in gloopy, starry nebulae. “Uh, yeah…” Arkay stuttered a little. “Just kinda wanted to be more armoured.” “Makes sense…” Vikalos nodded somewhat understandingly, then turned … Read more
