Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “How do you deal with him?” Gath stopped gazing off into the sunless distance and glanced down at the little Skyavon standing by his feet. Teekay was by no means a small Skyan, in fact he was taller than most, but to Gath, everyone was small and cute. For he was gigantic. “How do I … Read more
I used to ask myself whether I was an evil individual. I was a god of life and death within a large universe, the sole decider over who lived and who died. Billions, trillions over the course of existence would come to me, begging me to let them live for a few moments more. While … Read more
A quiet knock on the door distracted Arkay from his thoughts. He had meant to be packing his very small bag of belongings away, but had been sidetracked by work and other nonsense. With only a little hesitation, Arkay headed to the door and opened it. Standing there in the doorway was Kayel, the All-Ksa … Read more
The familiar sound of large, flapping limbs highlighted the appearance of the Panelix as she flapped around Kairos’s crystal home. She continued to float around until Kairos appeared, tutting and sighing. “Hi, Epani, what do you want?” Epani grinned, her massive mouth filled with teeth. She swooped down towards Kairos, dropping a parcel at his … Read more
“Who is more powerful, do you think?” Tenuk yawned as he unlocked the front door. For some reason, his siblings had followed him home and he wasn’t sure why. “What? And why did you follow me?” “You said we could stay with you!” Kohra beamed. “While Retvik and his partner were out! You said you … Read more
Yisini eyed the pink, elegant water suspiciously. She wanted to bathe in the springs and waterfalls around her jungle kingdom, to stretch out and relax in the warm, running waters, but something in the back of her brain was bothering her. The last time she was here, Yisini had ended up getting kidnapped by a … Read more
“So, time is fixed, everyone is normal again and the universe didn’t end!” Kohra smiled as he poured himself a cup of coffee. “You two want any?” Levik held out his cup as the three Kronospasts lounged around the daintily lit garden, enjoying themselves and relaxing. “Cheers, mate!” Levik smiled. “I am actually pretty glad … Read more
Arkadin grunted as the Whenvern slumped down next to him. He had been sitting all alone on a little floating rock on the far side of the universe. He had wanted to be out here, all on his own. But as always, one of his siblings had ignored his wishes. “What do you want, Kairos?” … Read more
Gold and silver explosions erupted from the wreckage as the cosmic dragon deity incinerated the remains, breathing flames that reached millions of kelvin. What had once been a vast, intricately decorated ship was nothing more than dust and debris. All destroyed, courtesy of Kairos, the Draconic Lord of Time, Life and Decay. Only one thing … Read more
Yisini watched as the vile Voidborn continued to pace, more and more agitated that his plan was taking longer than predicted. The pacing was relentless, and recently the Voidborn had taken to holding a white and gold cube and shaking it around, as if to vent its anger. This was probably the worst time for … Read more
Epani’s plan was flawless. She had spent the last couple of hours slowly explaining everything to Arkadin and the three mortals who happened to be present. The plan was simple enough. They find out Kairos’s location via an advanced form of echolocation, they establish a link with the Allbirther to get a guaranteed location on … Read more
“Hmph. This is taking longer than I expected.” Yisini watched from a gilded cage as the golden Voidborn paced up and down. She had no idea where they actually were, apart from “outside the universe” and the more Yisini tried to find out, the more confused and perplexed she got. Nothing in this strange place … Read more
“Oh, hello!” Kayel smiled as the vast, ghastly being floated outside his balcony and two very large Rethans stood on it. Kayel loved visitors and today was no exception. Well, Kayel liked visitors, but his K-Class body guards hated them. Sadly, he knew these particular guests weren’t here to see him, but for something else. … Read more
“When my horrorscope claimed that a deity would destroy my home, this was not what I had in mind…” Retvik and Gath stood outside where their home once was, in the storage areas of Palaestra. Their house, a converted warehouse with a pretty garden out front and out back, was the last in a long … Read more
Ahkron was glad to see that the Voidborn inhabiting this universe was smarter than most. After seeing what Ahkron had done with the universe’s main deities, the Voidborn had taken this universe’s head deity, its Personification, and sealed it away deep within a heavily fortified castle, guarded by a combination of Voidborn-Clones and Living Tenta-Forests, … Read more
