Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay 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
“Hey, Volt! It’s been a while!” Frost waved as he left the hangar and entered the Larunda Concourse. “Sorry I’ve not been around. Been busy… sleeping… and stuff…” Volt waved back, but Frost could tell he was a bit distracted. He was standing by a Ducat Kiosk, clearly going through his inventory. “It’s not a … Read more
“… Yeah, I don’t know when I’ll be back. Hopefully soon. But I doubt it. You know how universal deities are… I will… Don’t worry… Love you too… Bye…” Psiksi closed his communicator and stared at the doorway in front of him. In his hand was a silver tea strainer, stolen from Tenuk and used … Read more
“So, what can we get you?” Psiksi leaned on the table next to the Lord of Death, smiling eerily. Tenuk sat opposite them, keeping an eye on them both, praying that the young Skyavok did nothing to piss off a being who controlled the fate of the universe. “A lot of things.” “Like what? Respect? … Read more
“Thank you for coming with me, Psiksi…” Tenuk huffed and heaved as he and the little Skyavok climbed the stairs. “You really think I was going to let you go to Death’s home on your own? In the state you’re in?” Psiksi asked. “Really? Also why are we using this door up here with your … Read more
“There are lumps in my stomach and they are not going away…” Retvik moaned as he stumbled across the living room and threw himself into the first comfy thing he could see. More moans could be heard from upstairs, where his partner Gath was desperately trying to sleep. Elksia sat on a stool in the … Read more
How many times have you been in near-death situations? Hopefully none. Hopefully you’ve never seen your life flash before your eyes. But there’s always been that case where you’ve stepped off the curb and nearly been clipped by a speeding vehicle, or you slip while going down the stairs and manage to catch yourself. Little … Read more
