Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “Didn’t think you’d show up…” Phovos muttered as she idly stirred her spoon in her cup. Kairos wasn’t sure how to respond to that. He looked a little dishevelled, halfway between his normal godly self and the form he normally used whenever he met Phovos. “What are you drinking?” “Gravy stock.” The Whenvern glanced around … Read more
Arkadin took a long, deep breath as he waited for Epani and Yisini to arrive. Kairos had gone and arranged a meeting right in the middle of Arkadin’s work, and the Death Lord was beginning to think that these constant interruptions were more than just concidence. What made matters worse though was that Kairos wanted … Read more
“Hello, Arkadin, how are you?” The Thantophor was busy working as always. Today, he was cleaning up the remains of a collision between a planet and a very large asteroid. Clouds of volcanic ash had smothered the planet, slowly suffocating any primitive life that hadn’t been killed in the initial blast. But right now, Arkadin … Read more
The scream echoed across the dying cosmos, bouncing between dying dwarf stars and sputtering quasars, only to be muffled by the slowly encroaching darkness. Corpses littered the star ways, celestial bodies and god-like beings both torn apart and ravaged, drifting lifelessly and eternally. For millennia, a war had been fought between a myriad of forces, … Read more
The two deities rested happily on the beach, enjoying the warm rays from the freshly risen sun. Kairos stretched his wings out wide, keeping them out of the calm, icy water, while Yisini was lying across almost the whole beach, her tail drifting off across the sea and disappearing into the depths. Nearby, herds of … Read more
“I’m thinking about dating again.” Arkadin looked up from his work. He was in the middle of cleaning up a plague-ridden country, spreading bacteria that specialised in decomposing both corpses and the plague itself. An ugly, smelly job, but also pretty calm and quiet. Except when other gods interrupted him, which they seemed to do … Read more
The great Dessaron Arena of Palaestra was closed off today. A public holiday meant that everyone aside from essential staff had the day off, which meant that there were no lives shows either. If anyone wanted to satisfy their artificial blood lust, they would just have to watch old arena reruns. But the main arena … Read more
It had taken a few hours for Kairos to finally locate Arkadin. Considering he found Arkadin at all, that suggested that the Thantophor wasn’t hiding and didn’t mind being found. Kairos had found him leaning on a balcony, standing in the rain. The building behind him had been filled with Rethavok, slowly getting intoxicated with … Read more
Kenon watched as the little deities scuttled around, busying themselves with their plans to kill their own father. Really, Kenon wasn’t too surprised. He had treated them as pathetic little insects, because that was what they were. Dumb critters too insecure to properly use their godly powers. Unfortunately for Kenon and in spite of their … Read more
“I thought Voidborns were immortal?” Yisini asked as she coiled herself around Epani, comforting herself from thoughts she didn’t like. “We can’t just… go and kill him?” Epani put one of her fins over Yisini, patting her gently. “They are not immortal, dear sister.” “They seem pretty immortal…” The four deities had gathered in one … Read more
Kairos crossed his wings as he watched Arkadin sip some sort of sugary drink. They’d both visited a little Portalian shopping mall and bought a few little trinkets, confusing and stunning the poor cashiers who had to deal with them. The Whenvern’s purchases included precious gems and expensive furs, while Arkadin had gone and bought … Read more
Void’s Edge was a massive perimeter around this part of the universe, a gargantuan crystal wall that curved inwards, protecting the universe from nasty, hungry critters that wanted to murder everything. But most mortals did not see Void’s Edge that way. To them, it was nothing but darkness and empty space, a paradox of a … Read more
“I’m sorry.” Teekay opened one eye. At the end of his hospital bed was a familiar face, but not one he wanted to see. “Is it my time?” “What?” Teekay sighed. “Is it my time to die?” “Uh, no…” The Thantophor seemed different. They had seemed different every time Teekay had encountered them. “So why … Read more
“They all got drunk and fell asleep again, didn’t they?” Retvik had been standing in the garden on his own. The sudden voice was both unexpected but at the same time… he had expected a visitor. “Yes they did. It is a Macromera tradition now. Come over to Gath and Retvik’s home, stuff one’s face … Read more
Gath was so pleased when everyone arrived in one big group. Clearly Tenuk had gone around in his fancy bus and picked everyone up so they could all have a drink. They arrived at the door, smiling and carrying gifts, and Gath and Retvik both beckoned them in. The house, the building that was once … Read more
