Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “Hey, Arky!” “Hey, Sini…” Yisini slithered her way across the various tubes and rocky girders that made up the foundation of the Whenvern’s crystal palace, heading towards the tiny little hammock that had been hung underneath it. While Yisini could have simply hovered or grown wings or something, she wanted to approach in a less … Read more
“Didn’t think we’d be seeing you again so soon…” Kal grunted as Retvik boarded the ship. “Turns out your universe exploding has been way more troublesome than the High Lords thought.” “Uh… yes…” Retvik muttered, not really sure how to reply. He felt bad because he genuinely couldn’t tell which of the 6 personalities was … Read more
“Phovos, you there?” Phovos grunted as her little telepathic communicator sprung to life. The other Guardians were messaging her from the ship outside, while she was on duty watching over their boss. “I am. What is the problem?” “Is Kinisis still with you?” the high pitched mind-voice squeaked. Phovos immediately recognized that Tahvra was communicating … Read more
“LEAVE ME ALONE!” “YOU ARE MINE!” “I DON’T BELONG TO ANYONE!” Retvik was pretty sure that was the second explosion he had experienced in about thirty seconds, but what with everything going on and him being buried in rubble, he couldn’t have been sure. There was a huge amount of shouting and screaming going on … Read more
“Well that completely backfired…” Tahnahos grunted as the ship door slammed shut. “I genuinely don’t think that could have gone any worse if we’d tried.” Tahnahos’s complaining though was met with a handful of shrugs from his fellow guardians. Most of the Twelve had gone to bed, giving up on trying to cheer Kinisis up, … Read more
“Can they see us or hear us yet?” Arkay asked as he tried to remain calm and steady on the small stool he was sitting on. In front of him, a couple of Decay Lords that he didn’t really recognize were busy setting up a camera and a microphone, so he could talk to a … Read more
“What part of “no contact with the Decayling” does your Life Goddess not understand?” Vikalos snarled as he answered the video call. “You need to back away from this immediately!” The tiny little deity on the other end of the line was visibly shaken, having jumped out of his skin from how loud Vikalos’s words … Read more
“Well, Kinisis is in a foul mood…” Relkir growled as he picked himself up off the floor and dusted himself down. The Life Goddess had been throwing things around for the last few hours, and that had included all the Guardians who had attempted to calm her down. While Atteh’Kus was lying unconscious in the … Read more
“Hey…” The voice in the dark surprised Tahnahos. He had been sitting in the cockpit, minding his own business, keeping an eye on the ship and its maintenance while everyone else was asleep. Kinisis had demanded that her Guardians take her to a specific Life Oasis on the very edge of the new Phoviversal Void, … Read more
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
