Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “Wow…” “What?” “WOW…” “What?” “WOW!!!” Retvik tutted, rolling his eyes as something crashed behind him. “Litvir, what is wrong with you?” Litvir pulled himself out of his chair and off the floor, having fallen back in shock. “I passed!” “You passed what?” “That insane time-based exam we took! I somehow passed!” “We all somehow passed.” … Read more
Why do I feel like this? My existence isn’t that bad right now, but I just… I just don’t want to be here. I feel utterly empty and miserable. As if I have no meaning what so ever, except to serve others. I’m exhausted all the time and barely even have the strength to do … Read more
“What do you think, boss?” Kinisis crossed her arms, listening carefully to the recording, rewinding it and playing it again. She had done this a good twenty or so times now, carefully examining each little sound and crackle. “Hm… Curious…” “We’re gonna need more than just the word “curious”, boss. What is it?” The Life … Read more
Despite being a partially mechanical being that always wore a mask, Akah was somehow visibly miserable. He had been miserable for a long time, but ever since that strange being Kinisis had met had gone and disappeared, Akah had been even more miserable than normal. Tahnahos had spent a lot of time trying to cheer … Read more
“Galyn, may I have a word with you?” Normally, that phrase would be spouted by one of his fellow Decay Lords. But today, interrupting Galyn’s gazing off into the depths of space, was a familiar dragon. Kairos had joined the Thantir as an honorary member. He was a fully fledged Time Drake, having been a … Read more
“I’m exhausted and hungry…” “Not surprising…” Retvik, Litvir and Arkay all stumbled out of the small office, clutching various sheets of paper. While most of the perks of slowly learning to be Decay Lords had been pretty enjoyable, there were definitely some slow parts. Like the exam the three of them had just taken. Exams … Read more
Epani never liked visiting the crystalline sky temple. She didn’t like leaving the safety of her lovely, adopted universe, to visit the place where all the ‘time stuff’ happened. But that was where Epani was going, because she needed to talk to Yisini and that was where Yisini had been for the last 96 hours. … Read more
“So, boyos, status report?” Decay Lord Kengana’s hologram flickered erratically, the tele-video signals fading and strengthening almost at random. The bird-like being smiled, waiting for a response. “Status report positive…” Itaviir replied, monitoring a console, while Galyn fiddled around with some settings, a vague attempt to make the transmission clearer. “Please excuse the poor comms, … Read more
Most Decay Lords and Decaylings seemed to have their own personal computers. The majority owned these trendy, tablet-like devices made of seemingly magic paper, capable of being folded or rolled up and out away with ease, with everything accessible via the fancy, accurate touch screens. Litvir thought these personal computers were very neat and got … Read more
Gath growled as the doorbell rang. He wasn’t expecting visitors. He didn’t want visitors. He just wanted to be left alone. Just him and his little, unhatched egg. And maybe Talmin, whenever he returned home from work. But, despite his desires, Gath didn’t want to just ignore whoever was at the door. So, with a … Read more
It was hard to tell how Itaviir felt, just by looking at him. The massive Decay Lord towered over the three Decaylings, his features obscured by his crown of horns and the strange pair of pincer-like armour pieces that projected his mouth. Itaviir was more of a walking armoured monster than anyone else locally and … Read more
“Was I wrong?” “What do you mean?” Litvir laid back on his lounge chair, staring at the ceiling. The room, just like most of the ship, was rather dull, dark and under-lit with purple and red glowing strips, all running down the walls and floor. Sat next to him was Arkadin, who was nervously fiddling … Read more
Glass-like shards scattered across the void as an explosion ripped through the vacuum of existence, sending shock waves out into the darkness. In the heart of the eruption appeared two vessels, a sleek, dark ship and a strange, crystalline structure, both piloted by beings that wanted the opposing ship destroyed. A raging battle had been … Read more
“Where am I?” Kairos blinked, trying to orientate himself. Milliseconds ago, he was in the middle of a chaotic battle, using his temporal abilities to create a time loop, trapping those inside and stopping everyone within from being fatally wounded. All of a sudden though, the armoured Whenvern was in a much more relaxed setting. … Read more
Emerald daggers danced through the air, skewering bodies and severing limbs as they jittered around the battlefield, elegantly controlled by an otherwise very angry, rampaging Decay Lord. Galyn had been out here, fighting for his continued existence for too long now. He wasn’t getting tired, not at all, after all, he was a former god … Read more
