Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay Kayel slammed down the communicator, then sheepishly picked it up again. He had just got off the phone with Tenuk Diplastron Theanon, the eldest member of the Dessaron, the renowned traveller who had visited each of the Gods in turn. Kayel had hoped that the Deiton would tell him how to meet up with the … Read more
Kairos had just been flying by when he spotted Yisini and Epani, both sitting on a little, lifeless rock, sighing at each other. In the distance, he could see the source of their vague anger, the remains of a planet being engulfed in flames and dust, having been hit by a passing meteor. “You two … Read more
“You called for me, All-Ksa?” Teekay asked as he entered the tent. For reasons Teekay could not explain, the All-Ksa, the leader of the Skyavok, was insisting on spending his time inside a tent on ground zero of a catastrophe, rather than letting the K-Class look after him. “Of course I did, Teekay…” Kayel sighed. … Read more
“We must send assistance immediately!” the High General shouted as he stormed into the main hall. Already present were King Ver of the Vrekans, Lokmahro, Dovak of the Tsithic Thraki, and Phovos, the leader of the Ksithans of Portalia. “Do they want our help?” Ver asked. General Elkay glared at the Vrekan King. “Of course … Read more
Kayel could hear screaming. He could smell smoke. He could feel pain. He… could only see blackness. Blackness wasn’t too uncommon a thing to see. Kayel, like most Skyavok, lived in a place known only as the Void, a dark, gloomy space between spaces, otherwise inaccessible to other races. Their homes were built on a … Read more
“HELP! Volt shouted as he sped through the greenery up to the little enclave where he and his Tenno friends normally hanged out. “HELP, THERE ARE EXCALIBURS EVERYWHERE!” Ember though ignored him. She was busy staring out into the depths of space. In the distance, Pluto could be seen, as well as the solar rail … Read more
The letter had warned him not to, but he didn’t trust that letter. Especially a letter designed to cause panic? No, Kohra was having none of that. He was already unfriendly with the Whenvern, the Dragon God of Time who had abandoned him and left him to die. Kohra didn’t mind being a vague annoyance … Read more
“Ser? We have concluded our investigation. These items are harmless.” The Skyavok Astynomeer, a member of the local police force, handed two envelopes back to Kohra, sealed inside plastic wallets. “Are you sure?” “Yes. There are messages inside. We have scanned them but not opened them, for your privacy.” About three hours ago, Kohra had … Read more
Kohra hadn’t expected to see any lights on. He expected to come back to this little house and it all be empty. But the lights were on and someone was home. Being polite, Kohra walked up to the front door and delicately knocked on it. “One moment.” Some form of movement was heard. A set … Read more
“I want to do something different…” Bakxs was a very tall, very scary-looking Ksithan. He’d lived in Palaestra for most of his life, going through an interspecies educational system and looking for a way to express his artistic ideas and possibly even make some money doing so. A world full of creation, stuck inside his … Read more
“Do you think the other ones we rescued will survive, ser?” Eterek was a newly ranked captain. He normally served in the 289th Legion, but due to an urgent crisis, him and many other Rethan soldiers were serving among the ranks of the 270th Legion, helping them evacuate several small planets. “I mean, the first … Read more
It took eight minutes for us to realise our sun was gone. Eight minutes and we were suddenly looking at a night sky, full of stars. The birds stopped singing. Insects stopped chirping. I could hear the mutterings of confusion, slowly descending into panic. Day had turned to night. After ten minutes, it started to … Read more
“He’s normally back by now…” Kohra muttered under his breath as he watched Psiksi wander around the living room. “Is he?” Kohra didn’t think Psiksi had heard him, but clearly he did. “Yes. Rarely more than a couple of hours. But we have been here for a while now. Everything just feels… uneasy…” “Oh yeah, … Read more
The Cafe of the Gods was a pretty literal place. Gold covered or trimmed almost everything, while the floors glistened in ivory white and precious gems dotted almost all the objects in the cafe. The large, cushioned sofas and armchairs were covered in silk cushions and stuffed with the softest feathers. No expense had been … Read more
“Does he often do this?” “Who?” “Arkadin.” “With the disappearing to do things? Yep.” Psiksi had never been so close to a normal Kronospast in person before. Kohra had never really gotten that close to a Skyavok before. But somehow, they got along really well. “Last time, he did come back though. Something about the … Read more
