Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay Tap tap tap bloody tap. Psiksi was not amused about being woken up. Admittedly, it was his own fault, he was the one who agreed to be frozen in time, to be saved for a later use. Then again, it wasn’t Psiksi’s fault that his father was the Dragon God of Time, and he was … Read more
Note: As the title implies, this story occurs in the far future of the Phoviverse. “Rise and shine, sleepyhead!” Elkay’s eyes blinked open. The last thing he saw when he closed his eyes was his brother Veekay. And here Veekay was, standing over him now that Elkay’s eyes were open. Normally that would not be … Read more
“Hey Frost!” “Hey Volt!” Frost had just gone to Larunda to transfer some credits and ducats. He hadn’t expected to bump into his old buddy Volt. He’d known the electric yellow menace since they’d met on a random E Prime Lith Fissure a year and a half ago, and they’d been good friends ever since. … Read more
“Retvik?” Something hissed in the living area as Gath opened the curtains. “Retvik.” “What?” Retvik rolled over in his nest, grunting and growling. “What do you want?” “We need to talk…” Gath sighed as he brought in a stool from the kitchen and sat down. “We need to talk about you.” “I am fine!” Retvik … Read more
“Put the weapon down.” The hideous, inky, winged creature was standing right in front of T’lar. It was horrible and grotesque, looking like black smoke was dripping off its body. Under all the nastiness, there was a strange, celestial glow in its yellow eyes. “WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE LORD ARE YOU?” “I’m the … Read more
“Psiksi!” The voice on the other end of the communicator was almost as squeaky as Psiksi’s own voice. “Eksi! How you doing?” Psiksi hadn’t been expecting any phone calls for a bit. Especially since the power was a bit flimsy. They’d had multiple power cuts over the last few days, and Psiksi was certain that … Read more
“You ever feel like the universe is too large?” Kinisis muttered to herself as she filed down her incredibly long claws. “Like there’s too many beings in it?” Arkay didn’t respond at first. He wasn’t sure how to. Not that he wanted to respond. These days, he preferred not talking to anyone. Especially other denizens … Read more
“I’m genuinely getting quite worried now…” Psiksi muttered as he paced up and down the living room. “I mean, it’s one thing to close off the arenas. It’s another to lock vok in their homes and tell vok to barricade their doors and windows.” Kass wasn’t nearly as bothered. He’d used the last few days … Read more
The Rivers of Kinigi seemed more… bloated than usual. The waters were overflowing, carving through the silvery sands and pink grasses, flowing at a fast pace. Tenuk had visited Kinigi quite a few times, but he had not seen this before. “Why are you here?” A dark, cold something flew above Tenuk and landed in … Read more
Gath wandered around the kitchen, not sure what to do. Retvik hadn’t been acting right. Not since the other day. Yes, Gath expected Retvik to be in a funny mood since he’d just given birth to the egg that contained their unborn kid, but the weird snapping and growling, that was not normal. It was … Read more
“It has only been three weeks…” Retvik hurried over to the nest he’d made in the living area and laid down on his side. His stomach muscles were not happy. “IT HAS ONLY BEEN THREE WEEKS…” He didn’t understand any of this. He’d never gotten this far before. Which probably explained why Retvik was panicking. … Read more
“What do you mean, closed until further notice? What’s going on?” Psiksi was quite frustrated. “What do you think I mean, child?” Kindynis, the House Leader, snapped. “The DBA is closed. Until further notice.” “Because of a Cassid crash?” Kindynis rolled his eyes, growling. “Are you stupid or something?” “Possibly…” Psiksi sighed. “I just don’t … Read more
“That wasn’t there before…” Iatre muttered to himself as he exited his lab, blinking in the bright light. “I suppose that will teach me for spending most of my time working…” The small, green dome had been crudely attached to the side of the much larger green and white dome that made up the majority … Read more
“You’re home early!” Kass smiled as he paused the game he was playing. Psiksi awkwardly waved back as he dropped his backpack on the ground. “You look like you haven’t even left!” Psiksi exclaimed, still wearing a set of training armour from work. It had taken him a moment to work out what was wrong. … Read more
Tenuk had spotted it as he brought in the shopping. It was hiding on the roof, watching him. Tenuk had decided to get all the shopping inside and lock the hovercraft before dealing with it. After all, he’d offered to do the shopping, since he was staying with Gath and Retvik. Least he could do … Read more
