Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay Phovos looked down at her own chest, then compared it to the busty look Kohra had pulled out of goodness knows where. He certainly looked like a female Temthan. Probably too much like a female Temthan. After a long, awkward sigh, Phovos glanced at Timik, who was sitting on the sofa staring at the floor. … Read more
“Hey, I need your help.” Timik had a rather horrified look on his face as he slammed a pile of leaflets on Phovos’s coffee table. He, Kohra and Kayen had all been staying at her place for the last few weeks, simply because it was the most secure place around. True, it wasn’t safe and … Read more
Athanasi lounged in her silk hammock, watching her universe spin below her via a crystal viewport with gold leaf window frames. She was observing her children, who were hardly working as always. This universe was an old one and her four Deities, created to maintain the flow of space, time, life and decay, were all … Read more
Kinisis watched her son pace up and down as she picked away at a delicately iced slice of cake. He desperately wanted to leave Kinigi, Kinisis’s home, to go out and brutally murder some necromancers he had spotted in a nearby solae system, but Kinisis had insisted that he stay put. Why? Because it was … Read more
“Hi, honey, are you alright?” The last thing Kairos expected to see when he rang the doorbell of the Kinigi Gate was to see Kinisis herself. She was standing there, the little speck that she was, all happy and cheerful. “Uh, hi, mum, I was going to ask the same of you.” Kinisis blinked. “You … Read more
“They’re coming for us.” Arkadin had been pacing up and down for hours. At first, it was amusing to Kinisis. She enjoyed seeing her son worry, mainly because she was glad that he had emotions. But that enjoyment only lasted about ten minutes, when she realised what he was thinking about was possibly genuinely worrying. … Read more
The Panelix circled the heavens, soaring over stars and fields of asteroids, before finally settling down on a somewhat plain, rocky planet. From the surface, it looked barren and hostile. Underground, it was a small paradise, filled with thriving Vohran nests that had created a small utopia for themselves. This world was Vohranic 9, the … Read more
The Goddess of Life grinned with relish as she read through Kenon’s letter to her. None of it was surprising to her. She had always expected her other half, her polar opposite, to one day turn on them all. In fact, Yisini had been preparing for such an event. “Is everything well, my lady?” A … Read more
Kairos tutted as he rummaged through the massive pile of mail that had been shoved through the castle letterbox. He always received a lot of letters and notes, but today, after a massive earthquake on one of those fanatic Kronospast planets, he had been overrun with letters begging for miracles, forgiveness and other godly things. … Read more
My dearest, most beloved child, I am writing this message to you as we are in great peril. Horrible events are afoot. Your mother Kinisis has exiled me, cast me out and locked me away from the universe I so love and wish to protect. The reason? Your dastardly sibling Arkadin. He has done something … Read more
It had been a long time since Arkadin stepped foot in this strange place. The centre of the universe, the home of Kinisis, the Allmaker Herself. Normally, Arkadin wouldn’t have dared set foot here, not wanting to disturb the Creator and her work, but today, Arkadin felt he had to. Something was wrong, he hadn’t … Read more
“I didn’t think I’d be seeing you all again so soon…” Timik stared at the little Skyavok in front of him. The Skyavok stared at a plate of toast and slices of smoked ham in front of Timik. He didn’t reply to Timik’s words though. The two of them were sitting on a sofa in … Read more
Timik was having a bad day. He was supposed to have gone home, put on his nice armour and then gone out for a morning piss-up at his favourite bar, score some chicks, get laid and then spend the afternoon in the back garden, lying in his inflatable jacuzzi with whoever had decided to stick … Read more
There was a weird knocking sound. It was bothering Kayen. Disturbing his sleep. Reminding him of where he was. He rolled over, trying to turn away from the sounds. But they only got louder and louder. After a while, the air felt warmer. There was a breeze. Wind blowing through. Kayen curled up into a … Read more
Kayen sat in the corner, tears streaming from his eyes. Nothing made any sense. At some point while he’d been sleeping, he’d been taken from a hospital and chucked inside a cold, damp cell. Why? Kayen had no idea. He was ill and exhausted and hungry. He should have been at home, resting. Or at … Read more
