Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay Telos had been watching Zoan and Empros argue for a while. This wasn’t a new universe, but Telos knew that both of them were slightly scared. This was the second time in a short space of time that a Corruption had attempted to break in, and Zoan had been getting incredibly agitated. Of course, Telos … Read more
It had been a quiet day at the main government offices of Palaestra. Quiet enough that Retvik and Gath were able to have lunch together in peace. It turned out that, because of the recent bad weather across Portalia, a lot of the local Thanatians had decided to hibernate for the winter. That meant that, … Read more
“So the new Veth is going to make us all into freaks like Arkay?” Syklos grunted, leaning against the wall complaining and generally being a nuisance. “I don’t want to be like that little lunatic. A self-loathing fool who spends his days bitching and complaining that he was killed unfairly and never got to live … Read more
It had been a while since Arkay had last seen Iatre. Not since he’d gone and fetched all that stuff for him. Really, Arkay owed Iatre a thank you, since the music player he’d let Arkay use had helped him get through some rather nasty jobs that needed doing. But it turned out, hardly anyone … Read more
“You haven’t touched your drink…” King Ver smiled as he walked around the furniture, running his hands across the silky satin fabric, before throwing himself into the large sofa in front of where the High General was sitting. “I am thinking of giving my Vrekan representatives a little pay raise. I think they deserve it. … Read more
Kinisis was waiting for Arkay as he returned from his latest job. She was actually wearing something for a change. A ribbon-like wrap around a pair of massive breasts that tied up behind her neck, and a flowing, knee-length skirt. She seemed happy, but not in a malicious way. Genuinely happy. “Hi…” Arkay muttered. “What’s… … Read more
“Hey Arksi!” Verlais’s voice echoed down the line. There was always something about Vrekan telecommunication that made their voices sound like that. “How you doing?” Arksi grunted. He had been in the middle of washing the dishes and wasn’t in the mood for any more interruptions. One dish in particular, everything had been baked on, … Read more
“ARKSI!” The Keeper’s voice echoed through the Great Library, bouncing around corridors lined with books and almost sacred texts. “GET YOUR LITTLE BLUE AND YELLOW ARSE IN HERE RIGHT NOW!” Arksi had been busy organizing a stack of medical papers relating to a plague that had flared up a year or so ago. He calmly … Read more
Rethais couldn’t decide between being shocked or being insulted. The rest of the Circle had settled on shocked AND insulted. Their very own High General, a vok of sense and reason, had just stood in front of them and claimed he wasn’t 100% Rethan but in fact half ‘corrupted’, whatever that meant. “Excuse me, Elkay…” … Read more
“It is a poor move to barge into the office of a ruler without asking permission. Or at the very least making an appointment…” The High General of the Retha didn’t even look up from whatever it was he was doing. It was almost as if he didn’t care that Stasis, the Lord of the … Read more
“You two have no idea how angry I am with you.” Kinisis paced up and down, each step causing the ground to shudder ever so slightly. Kairos and Stasis kept their eyes on her, trying to ignore the massive amount of construction going on behind them. “We’re lucky we caught this early. This could have … Read more
“Hey Keith!” Veeyel shouted as he knocked on the door. “Can I come in yet?” The centaur-like creature stomped his hooves in frustration. Veeyel could see him through the frosted windows, looking around for something. “Keith, you alright?” The door flew open, nearly hitting Veeyel, before flying back and slamming shut. A second attempt at … Read more
Keith couldn’t help but laugh as he watched Arkay flail around on the floor, having fallen out of his bunk bed. Really, he should have been sympathetic, it seemed like Arkay had been woken by a bad dream, but he was an angel of death or something like that, he could withstand a bump on … Read more
“Well this is great…” Kinisis rolled her eyes as she watched the rivers slowly drain away. “Completely block me out, why don’t you?” The Lady of the Cycle turned to face one of her servants, who had just entered the room. “Kinisis…” “Is it good news?” she immediately snapped. “Otherwise I don’t want to know.” … Read more
“You’re making an honourable sacrifice.” That’s the last thing I remember being told. Just before I was flung into that pit. “Thanks to you, everyone else gets to live.” I was conscious while they tore into me. Turning me and my allies into the same horrible monsters they were. I tried so hard to fight … Read more
