Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “I need a place to stay.” Tenuk looked awful. There were dark rings under his eyes, his armour was chipped and ugly and his skin was dry and cracking. He stood in the doorway, holding a plastic carrier bag with various bits and pieces in it. “Are you well?” Retvik asked as he led Tenuk … Read more
Four figures had climbed this treacherous mountain, edging their way along dangerous paths and narrow passes. Their robes were torn and tattered by the cruel winds, their arms and legs shaking, their limbs wrapped up and bloody from the rain and snow. Their suffering though was coming to an end. They had finally reached the … Read more
“I do not like you.” Keseer Varo was the biggest Rethan House Fighter, and he had always been a moody one. A towering hulk of a Rethan, known for wrestling the arena beasts and enjoying it. Literally wrestling with them, not toying with them with spears and swords. “Oh, why?” Psiksi on the flip side … Read more
“Hm, perhaps I should have recommended that he come a bit later?” Gath grunted as he climbed down the stairs. He glanced around the house, then began a vague attempt to tidy up the living room. “The medic said he will be here in five or ten minutes. He already knows the place. He did … Read more
Gath didn’t know what to expect as he walked in. Well, he’d been watching Retvik build his little nest on and off over the last few days, but he hadn’t expected Retvik to end up taking the entirety of the casual living area. He didn’t even know they owned so many pillows and blankets. “I … Read more
“I am retiring…” Tesnik grunted as he removed his helmet and threw it into his locker and disappeared into one of the showers. “What?” The House Leader seemed to have been caught unaware. He chased after Tesnik, stopping outside the shower doors. “Tesnik, what is going on?” “I told you!” a voice shouted above the … Read more
Something is different around here. Some time ago, I allowed myself to become Kinisis’s partner. My duties mostly remained the same. Kill the unkillable. Protect the Cycle. Lead the Veth. The first two, they seem mostly identical to the duties I performed before I took Kinisis’s hand. The latter… Well, that is what’s changed. I … Read more
Retvik was wandering around the house, inspecting every nook and cranny. He was in an indecisive mood, but also feeling a tad cranky and rather nervous. The last time he had been pregnant, well, it hadn’t turned out well for him. In the middle of the house was a vast pile of cushions and pillows. … Read more
Psiksi was late getting home again. He’d been keeping quiet about his new job lately. He wasn’t even really willing to tell his partner about any of this. That was why he had left really early and returned really late. Unfortunately, this hadn’t worked out. “Where have you been?” Kass stood in the doorway, tapping … Read more
“Last night was alright, in the end…” Gath smiled as he rolled over in bed to get his alarm clock. “Clearly, because we have overslept.” “It was fun, actually!” Retvik admitted. “Made some new friends. Chatted with the Raptor. She is always nice to talk to.” “Seemed very excited about her new collection of house … Read more
Retvik was taking a rather long time in the bathroom. He and Gath were supposed to be getting ready for a stupid party neither of them wanted to go to, but for some reason, Retvik seemed a bit poorly. They still had to go though, as the party was about them. A thank you party … Read more
Phovos stood at her balcony, watching the chaotic battle unfold below her. She was immensely enjoying her newest House Fighter. Even in his current temporary set of armour, he had beaten the shit out of several hot-headed Cassids in their stupid dumb mechs. That always caused the crowds to cheer, although Phovos was never keen … Read more
Psiksi was waiting patiently again. Yesterday had been a complete blur, a whole mess of things, so he didn’t mind waiting. He’d gone and completed like seven different trials, all testing normal things. But he hadn’t fought a single actual living being yet. And he was kinda tired. After the last trial, they sent him … Read more
The House Fighters’ entrance was small and unpronounced, to the point that Psiksi would have missed it if it wasn’t for the fact that there were several other beings already waiting outside. Feeling nervous, Psiksi decided to hang around the back. He was early. Half an hour early. Probably for the best because the instructions … Read more
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
