Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “Ser, you have to see this…” General Somenion hated those words. A cliché jumble of confusion with a hint of fear and panic. They were unfitting words for any Rethan, let alone a soldier under Somenion’s command. Never had those words been followed by something positive. “What is it, soldier?” Somenion grunted, getting up from … Read more
“You came back!” Kayel was, amazingly, walking around, up and about. He may have broken his shoulder after an unfortunate confrontation with an angry goddess, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t use his legs. He had been pacing up and down the private hospital room, worrying about things, when a yellow-armoured Skyavok knocked on the … Read more
“Operator, you have messages, are you not going to respond?” Ordis had been watching Volt do void fissure missions for hours and concern was budding in the Cephalon’s mainframe. Volt had blatantly ignored Ordis every other time he had tried to slow him down and stop him from doing more missions, but now Ordis had … Read more
Kinisis sat in the grass, fiddling with a cup of tea. She was having a nice little picnic with her daughter Yisini, but something was bothering her. A sudden interruption to her thoughts. To solve that interruption, she snapped her fingers, causing three coloured clouds of smoke to appear. The first two clouds, a blue … Read more
“Arky!” Kairos was in a very… swirly mood today. His current form was much more Time Drake rather than Time Dragon. A soaring, serpentine creature, all wings and tail and no legs. He sailed over Arkadin, then twisted round him, brushing his strangely fluffy tail against the Death Lord. Arkadin was just sitting on a … Read more
With a thunderous crack, the delicate, stained glass ceiling collapsed, dropping a rain of shrapnel down on the unwitting creatures below. A wave of panic rushed over everyone present as they tried to run for shelter. This was supposed to be a peaceful event, the meeting of leaders, and already it had turned into chaos. … Read more
“What were you doing in theeeeere?” Yisini hissed as she sat on a massive, cushioned, golden throne, floating pointlessly on the edge of space. Kairos glanced behind him, into the darkness of the Void Spaces, the domain of their father, Kenon. The Void Spaces weren’t a true void, they were just particularly dark places where … Read more
Everything down there glowed. But at this moment, something new glistened in the darkness. A strange glow that lured the other dark beings in. The creatures edged around the glow, curious and confused, but also rather hungry. They had no concept of time, but knew that they needed to eat. The divine being in front … Read more
“Retvik?” Gath sat up in bed, reaching for the blankets. A cold breeze had sneaked in somehow, and a frigid brush against Gath’s uncovered leg had snapped him out of his slumber. The rest of the bed was empty. Recently empty. “Retvik, are you in the bathroom?” There was no reply. Normally Gath’s beloved partner … Read more
Teekay gently opened the door, not sure what to expect. He’d been away for over two weeks, far longer than he had anticipated. It turned out his former colleagues really, really needed his help, as few people knew how to properly deal with a deity. Teekay didn’t know either but he at least had prior … Read more
“You, uh, missed a spot…” “Huh, thanks…” Yisini watched anxiously as Kairos flew around the gargantuan castle, setting it ablaze and incinerating anything that desperately tried to escape. Kairos wasn’t really that aware of Yisini’s presence, he was busy working. What he was working on, Yisini wasn’t sure but she didn’t want to ask either. … Read more
There’s a horrendously powerful being in front of you and you’re pretty sure that it’s some sort of deity. But which one? What should you do? What is going on? Well, remain calm, as long as you don’t do anything stupid like trying to attack it or insulting it, you should be fine. Step 1: … Read more
“So he’s… in there… somewhere…” Epani and Yisini hovered above the dark void. It was one of the few places neither of them liked to visit. The Blackspaces, the Voidspheres, as they were often called, were cold, empty territories with only one or two stars inside them, cut off from the rest of the universe. … Read more
Yisini coiled herself up in her nest, sighing wistfully. She was bored and didn’t know what to do with herself. In fact, she had been like this for days, her mind filled with tedium and her hands empty and fidgety. She had made herself a comfy nest but aside from that, Yisini had been sitting … Read more
“Why are you here?” Arkay stared blankly at the Skyan standing in front of him. It must have been late because all the lights were dimmed and there were only seven guards stationed around his cell rather than the normal twenty. They all knew that the guards were only there for show, yet there the … Read more
