Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay Rethais sat quietly as he watched the sun set behind a vast forest of trees, some of them leafless and dead, others covered in fresh, green needles. In the distance, a body of water could be seen, but there was no life around it, no boats, no lights, no houses, a river emptying out into … Read more
“Welcome to my throne!” Inaros beamed as he welcomed Volt in with open arms. The room was filled with Ayatan Sculptures, all thrown into a vaguely chair-shaped heap. Around the base of the Ayatan heap was a small collection of noggles, most of which were of bobble-headed Inaroses. “What do you think?” Volt glanced around … Read more
Really, Teekay should have gotten some help with this situation sooner. It had all started a couple of days ago when Teekay realized that he had been sleeping not with his normal partner but with a large sack of goo. Not only had said sack of goo ruined a large part of their bed but … Read more
“Hm, antlers or no antlers?” “Why are you asking me, Lord Kenon?” Kenon turned from the mirror, his eyes scanning the elegantly decorated room, until he was met with the Rethan chained up in the corner. Vaksavar, formerly one of the most powerful Rethavok alive, sat awkwardly on the ground, not understanding why he was … Read more
“Are you alright?” Rethais gasped as Retvik hurriedly slammed the door behind them, his claws struggling with the lock, before collapsing against the nearby wall. “Not really, no. You were not shot again, were you?” Rethais checked himself quickly. There were a couple of small grazes on his side from brushing against old, sharp walls, … Read more
“We have a massive problem…” King Ver stood at his desk, addressing a series of screens. Normally he would arrange meetings in person with the leaders of the other members of the Reth-Vrekan Union, but considering what had just happened with the Reth- part of said union, Ver really didn’t want anyone to be traveling … Read more
Lysar held her breath, watching anxiously behind the shelves as a couple of armed Rethans marched past her then exited the store. She wasn’t sure how long she had been hiding there, but the number of soldiers that had marched in then out again was at least starting to dwindle. Not that it mattered, all … Read more
“I believe we are in the clear, at least for now…” Underneath the vast buildings that made up the cornerstone of Rethan society, there were a vast number of tunnels and sewers, designed to provide shelter and safety in case of emergencies. Despite all that had happened though in the last few hours, the majority … Read more
Kenon smiled as he watched Rethans pour into the city below. It had only been a few mere hours since he had taken control of this race, but everything was going swimmingly. Sure, there had been a couple of distractions, what with a few Rethavok dying and a few Rethavok not dying, but Kenon’s plan … Read more
“I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL OF THE BLADES, FOR THE RIGHT TO RULE OVER THE RETHAVOK!” Photeianos stood proudly in the middle of the room, branded in golden armour and studded with glistening gems. In one hand he held a long, golden sword. In the other he held a golden pistol, ready to fire. … Read more
“Thank goodness this year is nearly over…” Elkay sighed as he watched the sun set in the distance. By his side was his partner Teekay, rubbing his eyes from just how bright everything was. While Teekay had absolutely loved living on Portalia, enjoying the life he had missed out on in his youth, the bright … Read more
“You feel it too, do you not?” Out of all the ways Retvik had expected to see his brother Rethais, the way he was currently slumped at his desk, head in his hands, was not one of them. “The change? The draining of intelligence? The drought of debate? The lack of argument? How everyvok seems … Read more
“You look ill, High General!” Ver smiled as he swished his glass of mead. “You look genuinely absolutely awful. Being the boss too much work for you?” Rethais sighed, sitting down at the table opposite the King of the Vrekans. Ver was annoyingly right, Rethais was tired and stressed and looked as much. But Ver … Read more
The flight from Portalia City to Thre-Sypria had been surprisingly quiet, even by Rethan standards. Normally there would always be a little bit of chatter, some nervous looks, perhaps even the occasional late person running between flights, but this trip had been perfectly… normal. And very, very quiet. Maybe it was because there were only … Read more
“Good morning, Arkadin, was your trip pleasant?” Elkay was rather obviously hung over. He was wearing a scarf over his head, covering his eyes slightly, and leaning awkwardly against the door frame to his apartment. “Sorta. It’s hard to explain. Is everyone still here?” “No. Tenuk went off to see his siblings for a family … Read more
