Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay As the heavy golden doors slammed shut behind him, Rethais was beginning to think that maybe he should have had this meeting over the phone. Standing at the gold-laced desk, papers scattered everywhere, was a furious High General Kenon, snorting in anger and frustration. “So you want to betray me again.” Rethais took a deep … Read more
Arkay stared wearily at the strange glass walls that made up his liquid cell. He had been bobbing up and down in the clear, viscous fluids for goodness knows how long, but only now had Arkay realised what was going on. These curious and powerful beings were trying to heal him. Why, Arkay didn’t know, … Read more
Rethais sighed as he climbed out of bed and wearily made his way to the bathroom. He sighed some more as he relieved himself then washed his hands and face, then continued to sigh as he wandered back into the bedroom, staring at the empty bed. Lysar was already awake, up and about, he could … Read more
“What do you mean, no?” Itaviir and Vikalos both sighed and rolled their eyes. Neither of them particularly enjoyed dealing with Life Goddesses, normally because they would complain constantly and wish to speak to higher ups until they got what they wanted. The never-ending stream of criticism and wishing to move problems up the chain … Read more
“Could you please explain the plan one last time?” Retvik had been struggling to keep up. After spending a couple of hours in quarantine, where he had been frozen then set on fire then frozen again, he was now helping Vikalos push a large, opaque crystal into a ship in the Thantir loading bay. Vikalos … Read more
Kairos sighed as he gazed into the abyss, watching as clouds of cosmic dust drifted by, as glimmering lights faded in and out of existence. The Whenvern was perched on the very edge the observatory he had built into his new home, where he could silently ponder existence all on his own. Things hadn’t quite … Read more
The screams echoed through the whole ship. All of them coming from one sealed off room. After about five minutes of continued screaming, the pained cries simmered out, only to be replaced with more shouting. “WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?” Arkay panicked as the automated medical bots attempted to close the still open wound in … Read more
“Hello…” Retvik wasn’t really sure how to assess this current situation. The lost Decayling that he and the other members of the Thantir had been chasing unsuccessfully for the last few days had suddenly appeared… in Retvik’s bed. It was just sitting there, hiding in the corner, covered by Retvik’s blankets, pretending Retvik couldn’t see … Read more
“I need you at the Palace, right now.” Rethais took a deep breath, a vague attempt to contain the anger that was boiling up inside him. He was only three hours into the first day off he’d had all month, he was just about to sit down and have a nice meal with the family, … Read more
“Hello, Elkay.” Relkir jumped, immediately drawing his spear and shield, ready to protect his two fellow Guardians. He had simply been accompanying Tahvra and Teekay as they traced a strange signal into this small cave, but now there was a large, fiery being standing in their way. “What are you and what are you doing … Read more
Seimeni tutted as she wandered around the ship, looking for Retvik. Ever since they had sent the new Decayling on that test run, it seemed that Retvik had been avoiding her. Whether he was doing it on purpose or he was just lost on the massive ship, Seimeni wasn’t sure, but she needed to find … Read more
Floating islands in the void were pretty common, often tied together by errant strips of gravity, strong enough for beings to stand on them. This chain of islands was no different, but it was all weirdly warm, thanks to a small molten core just beneath the main island. The warmth meant that the icy caps … Read more
“Hello, Life Goddess Kinisis.” “Heya! How can we help ya?” Kinisis beamed as the colossal being stood at the bottom of the ramp to her ship, far too large to actually enter it. By the being’s side were several guards or servants or… whatever they were, Kinisis wasn’t sure. A black and red draconic being … Read more
“So, uh, what is that?” Kinisis had been quiet for hours, silently peering at a piece of black fabric through a comically sized tiny microscope. Her Guardians had been watching her the entire time, waiting for Kinisis to make any sort of announcement. “What is what?” Kinisis muttered, clearly not paying attention. “The thing you … Read more
Asteroids weren’t at all uncommon across the void, but there was something particularly curious about this hunk of rock, floating mindlessly on its own. It wasn’t even the fact that this rock had an atmosphere, it was that there seemed to be something living on it. The rock itself was mostly nothing but grey. It … Read more
