Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay Epani hissed and grumbled, only to hiss and grumble more as Arkadin entered her lab. They both knew things must have been serious, because Epani was in her ‘busy doing fiddly, finesse work’ form and because she’d summoned Arkadin in the first place. Normally the Panelix, the Creator of Space, had nothing to do with … Read more
It had been a rather quiet yet pleasant evening. While Kohra had been busy at work, Arkadin had tidied up the apartment, set up a new gaming area and had cooked a dinner of veal stew and candy dumplings with lemon sorbet. At 9pm though, there was a knock on the door. An unexpected knock. … Read more
Arkadin hadn’t expected such a warm hello from someone who should have hated him. Thassallin cheerfully waved, before wrapping a pair of wings around him in an ugly but adorable hug. “You seem happy.” “You seem not happy!” Thassallin smiled through sharp teeth. “You seem somewhat miserable!” The old Time Lord dragged Arkadin into his … Read more
“Really, Retvik?” Gath growled as his partner climbed out of bed. “Come on! Whoever that is can wait!” Retvik ignored Gath’s pleas and picked up his communicator, holding the headphone to his ear rather than clipping it on. “It’s Rethais.” “Fuck Rethais! Actually, don’t, fu-” Retvik left the room, much to Gath’s displeasure. He loved … Read more
“You must be desperate if you’ve come to talk to me over ice cream…” Tahna is laughing at me in his head. He tends to go by the name Tenuk now, ever since he… rebelled against our father. He’s the oldest of me and my siblings, he was the one who was supposed to inherit … Read more
Hey, Kohra here. Things are still weird. I still have Death Itself as a room mate. I suppose there are far worse room mates around though. The last time I had a room mate, he stole pretty much all the candy from my secret stash. Alright, that room mate was my brother Levik and the … Read more
“You… bought me shopping and cleaned up the apartment?” Kohra gently closed the door behind him, but left it unlocked. In the kitchen, the being known as the Thantophor, the God of Death, was awkwardly grilling slices of bacon. “If I am to live here, I need to contribute.” The Thantophor turned off the stove … Read more
Hey. Me again. I can’t sleep. How can I sleep? Death Itself has been standing by the window, staring outside, almost motionless for about three hours now. I know the Thantophor is in the other room and he’s not directly bothering me or anything but… it’s Death. Standing there. I still can’t get over the … Read more
Hey. Hey diary. I know I said I wouldn’t do this shit again after dad found that diary of all my weird dreams, but… this all has to be a dream. It’s all so fucked up. I’m gonna start from the beginning. I’m Kohra. Kohra Tou Avran. I’m a Kronospast, a pretty wealthy and formerly … Read more
Kairos growled as Yisini coiled around him, angrily squeezing him. “YOU WERE GOING TO RUIN MY EXPERIMENT!” The serpent was furious. The thought that the Time God and the Death Lord were going to meddle with one of her most crucial experiments drove her crazy. “They’re… ugh… they’re suffering…” Kairos moaned. He tried to switch … Read more
“Hey little brother, thanks for coming!” Kairos perched on the cloud, watching over the strange society below him. Arkadin awkwardly floated in mid air next to him. “Uh, you’re welcome… What do you need?” “Some advice!” Kairos glanced at Arkadin. He didn’t seem right. Then again, the Lord of Death never seemed right. “But before … Read more
Kairos’s day had been very busy. His morning had been spent fixing temporal anomalies caused by a supernova happening inside a miniature black hole, which had made time seem a bit weird on some nearby solar system. The planets had been shot towards the black hole because of the supernova, but rather than getting sucked … Read more
“Everyone thinks I’m the bad guy. And you know what? They’re right. I AM a bad guy. I’m the bastard who takes away their brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers. I’m a massive douche. On their deathbed they get all angry at me, asking why they can’t have a few more minutes, why do … Read more
“You had them killed?” “Yes, of course.” “Why?” Eskay could not understand why this Vrekan king couldn’t understand his actions. “They attempted to harm our leader. I assume Archocide, or in your case, Regicide, is an act punishable by death?” King Ver shrugged. He wasn’t even sure why he was there. For solidarity, one of … Read more
“How was your trip, Kayel?” Teekay asked as he and several guards ushered the All-Ksa into his quarters. “Productive, I hope?” “I guess?” Kayel shrugged. “You seem rather frantic.” Teekay didn’t answer. He was in charge of all forms of protection of his fellow Skyavok. He was always frantic and it vaguely annoyed him that … Read more
