Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay The happy little creature sat in the only chair in the waiting room, its legs swinging back and forth, only just touching the ground. The creature was quite well armoured. A green and silver plate ran across the top of its head, and it wore several various armour pieces across its body – plates on … Read more
“Kayel…” “Welcome back, Emel…” The collection of Ksa had traipsed through kilometers of forest, looking for a single tree house. They had expected to see a very basic home run by six Rethans. What they instead found was a small mansion of a tree house, which mainly acted as a cover to a large, black … Read more
Arkay was lying on the beach, staring at the vast array of galaxies in the sky above him. He had things to do, but he didn’t want to do them. As far as Arkay was concerned, he’d just helped save the universe again. All his normal duties could wait. “You’re staring at me.” Kinisis was … Read more
Elkay had no idea what to expect as he and Arkay landed on the shores of Kinigi. Part of Elkay’s mind expected there to be fire and brimstone and suffering and things like that. Or maybe an endless black pit of nothingness. Or maybe lots of clouds and little winged beings with harps. The last … Read more
The Crewman could hear lockers opening. He had finished his shift and was going to head down to the canteen for lunch. He needed to drop off his weapon and change out of his suit. Someone else was in there though, clanging and banging around. Rather than just barge in, the Crewman decided to sneak … Read more
Arkay had been right behind him, but suddenly he wasn’t there. The Whenvern turned round and found that Arkay had stopped in his tracks. “Veth Prime, is something wrong?” “We need to go back to Kinigi, right now.” Kairos blinked. “Why?” “Stasis has broken through. He’s trying to attack Kinisis!” “Oh.” Arkay was about to … Read more
“So, after all this time, you all have no idea?” Istoria snapped a book shut, then threw it onto a pile of other books. She was angry and tired and pissed off. “No, Kinisis. We have no idea.” “No definite idea!” Iatre interjected as he rolled by on a chair, carrying a pile of books … Read more
Arkay floated above the settlement, watching smoke plume into the air and mix into the clouds. One of the suns on this world was setting. The other had already set. The mixture of sunset and smoke had caused a weird, blue and red gradient to form in the sky. “Oh well.” The Whenvern was hovering … Read more
“HAPPY MACROMERA!” Tenuk slurred as the door opened and he tumbled into the old Dessaron HQ. “I have preseeeents!” Retvik smiled, leading Tenuk in and gently closing the door behind him. “It is good to see you, Tenuk.” Tenuk wobbled around, admiring the holiday candles and decorations. The smell of things cooking was making him … Read more
It was originally just a headache. The pain had started in the back of Veekay’s head at about five in the morning. He got up, looked out of the window and that was when the pain struck. A dull ache. He had work to do though. He’d taken some pain killers, particularly weak ones, then … Read more
“So, uh, what do we do now?” The higher levels of the relays were always almost empty. That was why Frost had picked the top level of the Kronia Relay as his little meeting place. The only thing here that could bother them was a single relay operative but they were either blind, deaf or … Read more
“What’s this?” Teekay asked as a silver envelope dropped in front of him. He put his fork down and opened it up, curious. “An invitation!” Eksi grinned. Ever since they had become free Rethans, Eksi was basically a whole new being. Full of life and energy. Finally pursuing the things he wanted to do. Currently … Read more
The last Deitic crumpled into a heap before fading away, utterly defeated. That had been the third Deitic attack on a mortal settlement in the last five hours. “Shame we can’t just kill them…” Arkay muttered under his breath as Kairos flew over. The Whenvern was doing one last check of the perimeter. “We kill … Read more
Arkay kept his eyes on the ground. He didn’t want to look up, only to see the other Veth staring at him and whispering about him again. They’d been doing that for a while. They all knew what he’d tried to do. They all knew that he didn’t like Kinisis and didn’t want to be … Read more
“Yoooohooooo!” Kairos’s voice should have echoed, but in the endless darkness of the void, it just sort of faded off into nothing. “Stasis? Are you here?” Stasis’s home was weird. It was both incredibly small and narrow and infinitely large at the same time. As Kairos flew, occasionally he’d bump into something, like a floating … Read more
