Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “I TOLD YOU ALL NOT TO FOLLOW ME!” The Thantophor roared as he extended his claws, swinging them wildly at the four siblings. “WHY DO YOU NOT LISTEN?” Psiksi leaped out of the way of a stray slicker of shadow energy, then rolled over to help Eksi keep his shield up. “We just want to … Read more
“So let me get this straight, you have been completely unaware that part of your government has been experimenting on other races in the neutral territories for the last hundred years?” If the High General was angry, he wasn’t showing it. Aesop, the Prime Minister of the Cassids, was sweating. He was due to meet … Read more
Fires still raged across the planet, incinerating everything in their path. Nothing had been spared from the heat of a solar flare. This small world was ruined, and would probably be incapable of sustaining life for many millions of years. All it took was a single solar flare that just happened to fire in the … Read more
“Stand down. Right now.” The Raptor stormed through the row of Cassid soldiers, walking right up to their boss. “No.” The Cassid, wearing a mechanical suit, simply tutted. “Stand down!” Phovos didn’t like repeating herself. “On whose orders?” “On the orders of the Raptor of Palaestra. i.e. ME.” The Cassid didn’t move. “Oh for fuck’s … Read more
“What the fuck is that smell?” Esdee gasped as he activated his gasmask. “Smells like… Like a lot of things died down here…” “I think that is exactly what happened…” Ksidee replied. The D-Class Ksa adjusted his shoulder torch, increasing the range and brightness so both he and his video recorder could see what was … Read more
The lands of Kinigi were once a rather nice place to be. Flowing rivers, fields of pink and silver grass, the occasional grey tree with purple leaves and cute pebble paths cut through the lands. Most of that had disappeared, ever since the Anger started. Kinisis, the ruler of the rivers of the Cycle and … Read more
“Okay, literally a second ago the sky was black like death even though it was day time, and now the sky is beautifully clear and it’s night time?” Psiksi was utterly confused. So were his five siblings. “You all saw that all suddenly changing, right?” Eksi nodded in agreement, since words refused to come out … Read more
“Rethais, can you talk? I need some help. Right now.” Rethais smiled as he pondered what to say. He had just gotten in from a fine day at work as the Vice General and his little brother calling him asking for help was basically icing on the cake. Rethais always felt good whenever he was … Read more
“Ah good, they’re already here…” Veekay seemed quite happy. The journey to this barren wasteland had been awfully quiet, despite the fact that Elkay had many questions to ask of his younger brother. In particular, he wanted to know who was already here. “Who-” “That’s our brothers’ ship. I mean, if you’ve been around for … Read more
“Why is the street cordoned off?” Kass blinked as the four Rethans walked down the road. “That was not here when we left…” Retvik and Gath had been greatly enjoying their evening. Kass and Psiksi had invited them to the cinema and gotten them tickets to the best seats in the Dessaron Battle Arena, complete … Read more
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
