Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay The ship floated almost lifelessly in orbit around the dead, rocky planet. Occasionally, a spurt of energy would push the ship upwards, briefly away from the planet, a vague, failing attempt to reorientate itself. Inside, a lone being sat, lost in their thoughts. The being didn’t look human. A strange suit made of both organic … Read more
“Is the line secure?” “Yes.” “Positive?” “I am positive. Photeianos does not know about this call.” “Good.” Rethais breathed a sigh of relief. For once, Elkay wasn’t insisting that he go to some place in the middle of nowhere to call him. Rethais leaned back in his comfy chair, feeling much better. “So how are … Read more
Arkay could hear whimpering. The sound was coming from a small clearing in the forest. Fallen leaves covered the ground, and a weak sun shined through the empty branches above. But the clearing was lacking in leaves, showing open ground, with dew-coated grass. On a closer inspection, something was moving in the middle of it. … Read more
“EMTHION!” The High General stormed into the office, pushing past the two Ksa stationed in the doorway. Emthion looked up from the piles of paperwork and unfinished bills and all sorts from his desk with a loud sigh. “Yes, General Photeianos? I am very busy right now.” Photeianos didn’t seem to care. He swiped his … Read more
“How long has she been like that?” “Since we arrived on Portalia.” “Wow…” Thymos and Phovos both watched over Mavri, who had been silent apart from the odd whimper for about twenty for hours now. She wasn’t physically hurt, but deep down, she was heart-broken. The betrayal of her own children had torn at her … Read more

The huge, gem-encrusted hall was bustling with bodies big and small, all filing in through a single pair of doors at one end of the room. At the other end were eighteen raised thrones, the two in the middle being particularly large to seat the oversized beings that sat in them. The last few beings … Read more

As I stand here on this cliff, overlooking the beautiful mountains and forests of these Thraki-owned lands, I can’t help but think how things have changed. For the better, for once. It wasn’t long ago that I was fighting for my life. Running away from the world. I was being chased by not one but … Read more
The only source of light in the small tree house came from the moonlight outside, shining in through a plastic-covered window. The house consisted of a single room, made from plastic and metal sheeting, containing only the barest of necessities. Two beds, a food preparation area, storage and little else. It was one of many … Read more
“You ever thankful for anything, Elkay-En?” Phovos asked as she waltzed into the private changing room, her clawed hands full of sheets of paper. The Threan-type Rethan who was just about to change out of his armour rolled his eyes as he removed his helmet. He placed it neatly on the bench next to him, … Read more
“You need to cancel this stupid election right now!” Phovos shouted as she charged into the throne room, with several followers in tow. Mavri looked up from whatever it was she was reading and sighed. “You against democracy, sister?” “No. I am against cheating and unfairness. Tell me, sister, what’s the current Thanatian population? Do … Read more

Being outdoors is good for you.” Kayel seemed distracted, as if he was looking out for something, just out … Read more
