Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay Kairos sighed as he watched Arkadin sob in the corner. Kenon had popped by earlier that day and made a simple request of Arkadin, to destroy a cluster of dead corrupted nodes, and something had gone wrong, requiring Kairos to intervene and causing the Thantophor to collapse in a pile of tears. They had managed … Read more
TK’s ship seemed very nice, especially compared to the other ships Arkay had been on. Everything was clean and tidy and very well lit, with automatic doors and cute little robots that continuously cleaned the floor. The strange thing though was the lack of rooms. Actual rooms that weren’t just for storage. There was clearly … Read more
The dead region of Lesser South Kinigi was normally cold, empty and abandoned. It had gone through various amounts of abandonment over the millennia but over the last few months, the desolate landscape had been utterly demolished and flattened out, no longer wanted in any way, no longer having even a trace of life. In … Read more
“Sit.” Arkay did as he was told. The hulking beast that was Vikalos had somewhat forcefully taken Arkay from one ship to another. In this smaller, much more orange ship, a plain room had been prepared in the cargo bay, waiting for the two beings. As soon as Arkay had sat down, Vikalos tutted and … Read more
Things had been oddly quiet on the Shimmer’s Plight. It seemed as if everyone was somewhat ignoring Arkay’s presence. They weren’t completely ignoring him or anything. Thaed had been happy to see Arkay at first and Ostos seemed somewhat glad to see someone else alive. Apart from the odd nod of acknowledgement from Saahro or … Read more
Yisini smiled to herself as she closed the door behind her. Her evening had been particularly fruitful and she had managed to do exactly what she wanted. Not only had she been able to experience a delightful young mortal with distinctive genes, but she had successfully persuaded said mortal to go and spread those genes … Read more
Arkay yawned as he stretched out his arms. He had intended just to have a quick nap, but frankly he had been exhausted from all that rushing around, all those tests and things like that. Now he had had a proper rest though, Arkay was ready to enjoy his brand new (yet somewhat solitary) new … Read more
There was a dragon on the roof of Phovos’s apartment building. This wasn’t that unusual an occurrence in the city of Palaestra, as there was a small Thraki colony that lived somewhat nearby. No, the unusual thing was that this was not a Thraki but a fully fledged dragon god, with four legs, wings, heavy … Read more
Rubble and debris covered this entire sector, making it impossible for larger ships to pass through. The remains of the first Deathven were immense, yet after so long, drifting endlessly in a timeless space, there was still so much that was unsalvaged, untouched and unexplored. While the main living areas had been stripped eons ago, … Read more
Retvik grunted as he picked at his breakfast and flicked through an array of magazines. They were all from last week, free ones having been picked up alongside the shopping. And they were all mostly trash. Gossip articles, rumours and silly theories mixed in with actual goings on and listings of local events or televisual … Read more
“Can I come in?” The sudden knock on the door had made Arkadin jump out of his skin, scaring him far more than he wanted to admit. No one ever knocked on the door to his bedroom, the one place in the universe where the Thantophor kept to himself. Before Arkadin could answer though, the … Read more
“Please don’t scream. You don’t have much time left.” The explosion had trapped hundreds of miners and killed hundreds more, causing tunnels to collapse and power to go out, plunging everyone into darkness. Desar was one of those many miners, stuck inside a small cave, clinging desperately onto a fading lamp as muddy water trickled … Read more
When it comes to our otherwise rather basic forms of magic, there are many different metaphysical elemental properties, often shortened to just elements, you can play around with, assuming you can imbue them on magical items. These elements are based off of a myriad of natural effects and forces of nature, but are intertwined in … Read more
Within this universe, there is such a thing as magic. The source of this magic comes from the Allmaker Herself, the Grand Goddess of All, and what us mere mortals use are simple remnants of her power. Magic comes from one main source: cosmological background radiation, often referred to as CBR or “radia”. When the … Read more
Kayel tutted as he put on his fancy ceremonial All-Ksa robes. He didn’t want to wear them today. He wanted to go as himself, he wanted to be himself, he didn’t want to have to be all big and lustrous in front of this new species. But that was what his advisors were telling him … Read more
