Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “I… don’t get what you want me to do… Can you explain it again?” This was the fourth time Elkay had tried to explain everything to his younger brother. Arkay had always been a much sharper Rethan, but these days, it was as if he’d taken stupid pills or something. Slow, awkward, inarticulate and easily … Read more
“News travels fast, even for us Thanatians, do you not think?” The voice echoed around the dark, desolate cave. Black, tar-like slime dripped from the walls, pooling into small streams, which snaked from the edges of the room into a large pit in the centre. Slowly walking around the pit of noxious slime was a … Read more
“What is it now, sister?” The voice on the other end of the line growled. “I have an amazing idea!” Mavri Thyra beamed, spinning round in her comfy chair. “I really amazing idea!” “What idea.” “Oh come on, Phovos, you’ve got to be more excited!” The voice growled again. “I haven’t slept in days. I’ve … Read more
Kinisis watched as the personifications of Time and Nothingness argued in front of her, growling, shouting, screaming and all round being stupid. They’d gone round and round in verbal circles, and nothing had stopped them yet. Something approached her from behind, but Kinisis knew who it was. “You took your damn sweet time, Arkay,” Kinisis … Read more
Arkay looked at Volt, then looked up to the tower they had been thrown from, looked at Volt, then looked at the tower again. “How the fuck did you do that?” he finally asked, his brain unable to comprehend how their semi-mortal bodies had not turned into gigantic splats on the ground. Volt shrugged, then … Read more
Volt’s neural sensors briefly switched off then on again, to simulate blinking. He appeared to be hanging from a wall. It was only vaguely familiar to him, as if he had only ever slept in that room. After a few more blinks, the Warframe realised he was inside the Arsenal inside his ship, where his … Read more
Arkay and Volt stepped carefully as they navigated the maze of paths towards the Whenvern’s castle. Neither of them had any idea where Kinisis had gone, she’d given them magically altered copies of their signature weapons then disappeared in her usual cloud of tentacle-y smoke. “You know…” Arkay muttered as they edged past a spike … Read more
“Ah, heavens above…” Retvik let out a huge sigh of relief as he rolled off Gath and laid on his back, breathing heavily. Exhaustion swiftly took over, causing Retvik to close his eyes and pant. Gath leaned on his side, looking lovingly at his partner. “You spoil me.” “Nuh-uh,” Retvik grunted, still panting. “You spoil … Read more
“Um, Kairos, dear, you can stop that now.” Kinisis watched as the Whenvern circled around Stasis, growling menacingly. He’d attacked Stasis after a disagreement on which of them loved Kinisis more, and the swiftness of his attack and a punch in the face knocking Stasis into the arena below was enough to nearly knock him … Read more
The Veth’s claws tightened around Verlais’s throat. It turned out that Deitic technology was something Veth knew all too well about, and Lua’s cloaking device had done fuck all. Verlais hadn’t even managed to place the first camera when the hulking orange and gunmetal Veth stomped over and pinned him to the ground. “You are … Read more
Verlais huffed and puffed as he held his arm in pain, limping out of the golden arena. Behind him, a large, green Veth roared, victorious and pretty much unharmed. Despite all his studying and planning, he hadn’t even made a dent in the Veth’s defenses. As Verlais leaned against a wall to regain his composure … Read more
“Woah, look at those Veth…” Verlais accidentally said a bit too loudly as the four Kronaron entered the large, black and gold building. “We are surrounded by beautiful architecture, underneath the newborn stars of the last nebula of the universe, and your first thought is a bunch of Veth?” Kindyna hissed. “Shame on you.” Verlais … Read more
Kinisis is one of the three multi-dimensional beings of the Phoviverse. She is the personification of the Endless Cycle, the Matriarch of All, of the constant life, death and renewal of all things within the universe. Kinisis appear to have in three forms – Genisi, the avatar of birth; Thanati, the avatar of death; and … Read more
Kenos, better known as Stasis, is one of the three multi-dimensional beings that controls the Phoviverse. He has also been known as Kathisykaz, Vakenon or The Nothing. Stasis represents stillness and the vacuum of space, the gaps between existence. Stasis is also considered to be the ‘drag’ of the universe, the antithesis of time and … Read more
Kairos is one of the three multi-dimensional beings that controls the Phoviverse, and controls the passing of time, making sure that it always flows forward and never backward. He is often referred to as the Whenvern, the Forwyrm or Dragension, and in his few appearances to mortals, appears as a spindly white, black and silver … Read more
