Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay 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
“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
