Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “A word please, Talok.” Talok looked up from his duties. He was in charge of almost all the security systems inside the nest and was rarely ever disturbed. In fact, he never even got visitors. Sure, he had automated everything years ago so that he didn’t need to actually do much, but that wasn’t the … Read more
Elkay watched as the little biomechanical robots clinked into the room through a small grate, sucked up the puddles of vomit off the floor then inserted the fluids into test tubes, before disappearing again. The forced injection of emetic drugs and Elkay’s subsequent vomiting hadn’t been pleasant in the slightest, but that wasn’t even close … Read more
Levik had been oblivious to the world around him for the past ten minutes. Everyone else had been running like headless slaughter animals, trying to pick up the pieces and work out what had happened. They all had families to deal with, relatives to call, things to sort out. Levik had none of that. Not … Read more
Chaos had erupted across the Vrekan capital. What looked like nothing more than a miniscule meteor landing in the city centre had turned into an epidemic, with exactly half the population suddenly being overcome with a feral rage, attacking all others on sight. High winds had spread the terrifying plague across the city, infecting anything … Read more
Epani looked on from a distance, inspecting the cold, twisted plains that surrounded Arkadin’s home. The Death God, much like Epani herself, was often a solitary being, but the fact that Yisini, the Goddess of Life, had been wandering around Arkadin’s property had made Epani both curious and suspicious. Unfortunately though, due to her massive … Read more
“You need a much bigger bed…” Kairos grunted as he rolled off the bed and onto the floor. He hadn’t meant to do that and thought he’d looked silly, but Phovos had simply giggled. “It’s meant for just me, silly.” “Well, if we’re going to be doing normal boyfriend and girlfriend things, you’re going to … Read more
Yisini smiled as the door blasted off its hinges, smashing through the room and destroying one of her less interesting and important experiments. She coiled around herself, turning defensively to face her intruder. With a wave of her hand, multiple blood-soaked guards exploded out of the ground, taking the form of winged serpents, and started … Read more
Phovos gently closed the door behind her as she left Kohra’s apartment. Timik had left ages ago, but Kayen was still inside, chatting away with his Kronospast friend. Phovos had grown tired and had wanted to leave when Timik did, but they’d both insisted she stay. Only now had she managed to get away. Walking … Read more
“Are we doing this every night now?” Elkay asked as he gently closed the door of his hotel room. The room was much larger than Elkay was used to, but as always, King Ver had insisted that he get only the biggest and best rooms while he stayed in Vrekan territories. This room wasn’t a … Read more
For the first time in days, someone answered the door. Kohra almost jumped as it creaked open, revealing a tired, grumpy Thantophor. “Oh. Hello.” “Hi, Arkadin, you alright?” Kohra smiled. He held up a bag of various things, which clanged against each other as he shook it. “I brought food and drinks.” “Why are you … Read more
“I’ve seen that look before!” King Ver chuckled as he entered the main throne room. Sitting at the large, round table were the High General of the Retha and the All-Ksa of the Skyavok. The three of them were always the first to arrive for the Year-Beginning Alliance Dinner. To be fair, it was hosted … Read more
Elkay did not feel comfortable right now. Sure, things had been turning around, the lower generals did not seem as angry as they were and several small budget cuts had helped to balance the budget a little, but Elkay had experienced something new and he wasn’t quite sure whether he wanted to follow that experience … Read more
Yisini slithered her way across the grounds, slipping past mechanical automatons and lazer-based defences, edging her way towards Kinisis’s inner sanctum. She didn’t need to sneak her way in, there was a perfectly good front door she could use, but Yisini enjoyed the subterfuge. It made a pleasant change to doing normal things. “What are … Read more
The High General of the Retha had not had a good day. The lower generals were not happy with the idea of “wasting” nearly a quarter of a billion evra trying to protect the planet of Kolasi, only to have a massive meteor suddenly disappear. No one could have predicted that the planet would be … Read more
The meteor had been predicted to hit the largest city of Kolasi, the city of Hel, where 50% of the planet’s population lived. Many beings had tried to get off the planet, or at the very least away from the city, but due to its mostly poor populace, only the rich managed to escape at … Read more
