Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay Sini sighed to herself as her body changed shape. She needed to be less of a Life Goddess, more of a Time God now, and her body was in the middle of making that reality. Silky scales became thicker and edgier, her well-trimmed nails became talons and a pair of draconic wings sprung from her … Read more
“So much for my book club…” The Shadow was clearly annoyed. Anyone could tell just by looking, as shadowy tendrils were floating on his back. Elkay was normally a very calm person, so the fact that his elemental affinity was showing meant he was feeling defensive. “Is that what you were doing here?” Kayel asked … Read more
Dalosisaar may have been trying to keep his calm as he has ordered his fellow deities around, but now that the important work had been mostly done, now that he had gathered the Twelve Anew in one place, the cracks were showing. Every mention of his name caused a sigh, every mention of Kairos’s name … Read more
As Relkir’s eyes snapped open, the first thing they did was try to look around for their kid. They had seen the monstrous Thraki throw Litvir around like a ragdoll, and the sight of Relkir’s beloved daughter bleeding, clutching their arm and trying to get up and stand on a broken leg had driven Relkir … Read more
“He… he’s gone…” Sini felt hollow. There were words in her mind, in the back of her throat, but they weren’t coming out. “He is gone, yes… Sini, sister, I missed you.” “I missed you too, Epani… You… you kept the place nice while I was gone…” “Well, I tried… I had some help though…” … Read more
The blade cut deep. Deeper and deeper. Down into flesh and muscle. Deeper still. Into eyes and nostrils. Through softened, diseased bone. And still deeper. Into vital organs. Through a sickened mind. The rage-fuelled stabs continued, seemingly without end. The owner of the blackened, holy blade had no real idea what was going on. All … Read more
“I have so many questions…” Kayel muttered to himself as they reached their target. Normally universes were surrounded with a black, inky substance known as Vastskin, that kept the universe in and the void out. But this universe’s Vastskin was solid and diamond-coloured. “Why have you not been asking them then?” Elkay-En asked. “Because I … Read more
“Are you feeling better now?” Litvir asked as Elkay exited a small, white villa. “Yes, but I do not know how being stabbed in the stomach fixed whatever was wrong with me…” Elkay grunted, then stretched his arms and started walking, towards the edge of the Pink Paradise. Both his telepathy and Litvir’s telepathy were … Read more
“Elkay! Elkay! Need to speak to you right now!” Elkay should have been annoyed at one of his fellow Twelve Anew interrupting his private times, doubly so since he’d informed them all that he was taking most of the weekend off, but, firstly, he was used to it, and, secondly the sheer panic in Kohra’s … Read more
“Phiva! I am so glad you could join me!” Elkay was in a very bouncy mood as a dark red Ksithan wearing black trousers and a black hoodie and carrying a large, dusty satchel reached the main entrance of the Great Library near the centre of the universe. To the point that he nearly tripped … Read more
“So you didn’t see anything?” Kohra asked as he puffed up his fur in a bid to protect himself from the cold. Litvir shook their head, and shuddered slightly. Normally, they had no problem with the depths of space, but Litvir felt uneasy today. “Uh, no, not on… normal light. In the, uh, infrared light, … Read more
The flight so far had been rather quiet. While Arkay had been fine taking Kuta and Ret to the little floating island pub in the Ventra Expanse, his new passenger was a tad more awkward, and Arkay hadn’t said much. He’d also shrunk a little, reverting to a younger form. Not as young as the … Read more
“I am so sorry.” “It is fine. You were not to-” “I am so, so sorry. “It is fine. You-” “I do not know how I can apologise further.” “It is-” “I failed you.” “Relkir, please stop.” “I-” “Relkir!” An uneasy silence crackled down the phone line. It took too long for anyone to start … Read more
“What do you want?” Kairos didn’t answer. He was working. “What is your problem?” Still no answer. “Kairos, I am speaking to you.” Kairos grunted, then glanced up. Standing over him was Epani, who had intruded his personal space. His last personal space. However Epani had a cohort today. The little formerly exiled Lanex who, … Read more
“See, that was not too bad, was it?” Litvir glanced around awkwardly, not really paying attention to Gath’s words. There was a lot on Litvir’s mind, mostly the fact that they were supposed to be heading back to their patrols soon but they had been delayed on their flight with Gath and were probably going … Read more
