Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “Soooo, tell me what happened here?” Yisini inspected the torn, tattered, bloody body, crossing her arms and clicking her tongue with curiosity. She knew what had happened, but she wanted to hear the others say it. “Arkadin attacked Kenon.” “Tore him to pieces.” “Nearly killed him.” “Uh-huh…” Yisini flicked her serpentine tongue in and out, … Read more
Blood and broken teeth splattered from Retvik’s mouth as he took yet another blow to the head. In all the planning and practice he had done in the last week, Retvik had swiftly realised that he had not planned for one thing in particular: the High General discovering his plan. While Retvik had managed to … Read more
“Oh dear…” Veeyel tutted as the can of food he had attempted to pick up had ended back on the floor. This was the second time he had dropped this can, which was upsetting because Veeyel wanted to put it in his shopping trolley. Thankfully though, help was on the way. A kindly dark-skinned hand … Read more
“This is perfect!” Vaxavius watched as Retvik paced up and down. “This could not be better! The perfect opportunity has appeared!” “Should you not be up there, planning for the big gathering?” Trismit asked, munching his way through a packet of dried meat jerky. “I mean, your regular visits are very nice, but is this … Read more
“King Ver, what an unexpected surprise!” The High General paraded up to the recently landed ship, a small legion of Rethan soldiers clearing the way for him and his subjects. Trailing behind the antlered leader were two servants, one wearing heavy golden chains. “Ver, what brings you to the central city of the Rethavok?” Kenon … Read more
King Ver had just finished his daily rounds with the news reporters, when he was hit with a surprising question. He had been asked whether he would be arranging the next V-R-Union Leaders’ Gathering, since the Vrekans were now the main leading race in the Union. Ver had brushed off the question with a simple … Read more
“Alright. There are three areas left on Ceres. What do you prefer, Spy, Interception or Hijack?” Inaros grunted to himself as he mulled over his three options. He stared glumly at the navigation panel, not really enjoying either of those choices. But that was all his cohort had left. “What kind of Spy mission?” Inaros … Read more
Paper littered the small, concrete bunker. Far more paper than Talmin expected. Really, he didn’t even know that Gath owned so much paper. Talmin had just finished his rounds and was returning home to clean up and shower, but since his bunker was down the road from his new partner’s place, he thought he’d pop … Read more
“Are you well, Elkay?” Elkay grunted some sort of response as he collapsed on the nearest soft thing: a battered, donated sofa. One that barely had much stuffing left in it and was rather dusty. But it was soft enough to lay on for a little bit. “Not really.” In the room with him was … Read more
“Come in! Sit down! We’ve been expecting you!” Arkadin stood in the doorway as a green-armoured Skyan hobbled past, carrying a tray with three glasses on it and a glass bottle of fizzy caramel soda. “You have… been expecting me?” Arkadin asked, edging inside and closing the door behind him. He had taken the form … Read more
“You do not look too well…” “Could say the same about you…” Retvik sat up, kicking his legs over the edge of the bed so he could better see his visitor. While the Thantophor was considered by many to be a terrifying monster, only vaguely resembling a Rethavok or similar Threanic being, Retvik had only … Read more
“But… but that’s unfair!” Arkadin crossed his arms and pouted as Kinisis tried to lead him over to the table, where a plate of cakes and sweets was waiting for them. “That’s super unfair! You said I could! You said I had the same rights as everyone else!” Kinisis quickly gave up on trying to … Read more
Vaxavius had been dreading this moment for a while. He had been secretly watching and studying the inner goings on of the Void Lord’s inner sanctum, observing the two beings he had been holding prisoner and parading around like trophies. Two Rethavok who Vaxavius had… condemned in the past. He did not have good relationships … Read more
“Well, this is awkward…” When Talmin’s new partner had received the message from the High General, demanding his presence, they were both rather worried, uncertain what to expect from this sudden summoning. As the two large, bulky Rethans made their way into the foyer of the grand palace, the building that had once been the … Read more
Retvik had just begun to drift off when the shadowy being flickered into view. He had not been sleeping as much as he should have, keeping one eye open and watching out for his fellow inmate, but the only real factor that made him sleep was exhaustion. Despite his captors’ attempts to force Retvik to … Read more
