Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “Arkay?” This was like the fiftieth question Vel and Iatre had asked. Of course, Arkay was an older Veth than them both, but not by that much. Despite that, they seemed to think Arkay knew everything. “What.” “Why has Death sealed us all inside one crate? Is she using a local postage service or something … Read more
“What in the name of the Mistress do you think you’re doing?” Arkay growled as something grabbed him by the tail and pulled him out of the cave he and Teekay were in. Angered by the sudden interruption, Arkay fanned out his claws, ready to attack, only to swiftly change tack. “Oh. Mistress. My apologies…” … Read more
Arksi yawned as he stretched his arms, that lingering, warm bed feeling tugging at his mind, wanting him to go back to sleep. The little Rethan did what he could to fight it, by throwing off his duvet covers. Big mistake, outside his bed, it was pretty nippy. Rather than brave the cold, Arksi got … Read more
Stasis looked at his brand new soldiers. Four pristine warriors, wearing the finest, strongest armour that Stasis could conjure. He’d cheated a little, giving them all armour that was impossible to even scratch by normal means. Or even Deitic means. “Master, what are you thinking?” As always, his favourite little Anexartan/Lanex hybrid Lua was curious. … Read more
Volt stared at his navigation panel, then at his wallet, then back at his navigation panel. His Star Chart was mostly completed, except for the last few planets – Pluto, Sedna, Eris, and strangely, Europa. He had made a beeline for each junction on each planet, leaving out the awkward offshoots. A lot of them … Read more
The Whenvern shaked his glorious white wings as he landed on the shores of Kinigi. He had been meaning to speak with Kinisis, better known as Death around these parts, for a while, but he had never gotten around to it. Always busy going forward. Now though, he had a chance. He wanted to discuss … Read more
Elkay always thought he was a well-travelled being, but never in his life had he seen a Thraki temple before. What was even stranger was the fact that there was only one Thraki present. A large, black, purple and gold Thraki, just staring at him, waiting for him to speak. “Um… Why have I been … Read more
“Happy Macromera!” Tenuk shouted as he burst in, carrying boxes of treats and goodies. “And happy Day of Needlessness!” Death though didn’t move. She was busy writing something down. Tenuk put the pile of boxes down on the first convenient space, then slowly sneaked over. Maybe she didn’t hear him. Just as Tenuk reached whispering … Read more
Retvik rubbed his eyes as he got up to answer the door. It was early, and he was the only person awake. The door opened gently, after a brief struggle with the lock. It took a moment for Retvik to realise who it was. “Um, good morning, am I early?” Retvik glanced at his wrist … Read more
Volt sat happily inside his orbiter, happily admiring his shiny new Prime parts. He’d spent way too long opening relic after relic, looking for the somewhat rare parts he needed, then he’d waited three and a half days for it to all finish building. It was worth it though. The shiny parts gave him slightly … Read more
The three Vrekans gathered around the Captain and his campfire, shivering from the cold. Border patrol was their least favourite job, and the weather as of late had been unbearable. Rain, hail, storms, every sort of negative weather they could imagine. “Captain, can we take a break now?” “Yes, but you must remain close. This … Read more
Verlais sat wearily as the world rushed by outside. Ever since he and his new friends had become famous, he’d been so damn busy. Constant briefings and debriefings with Vrekan authorities, conversations with Portalian authorities, vok of all shapes and sizes wanting to see and greet and speak with him. A few wanted to sleep … Read more
“What in the name of the Light are you doing, kid?” Retvik grumbled as he watched Arkay cleaning up broken glass. While trying to hang up some sort of green string, he had accidentally knocked over a lantern, which had shattered on the ground in a spectacular explosion of glass and plastic. “Uh…” Arkay hesitated. … Read more
For many a century, as this fine universe comes to its end, I have been studying the lands of Kinigi and its denizens. After much research, I have noticed that there is little to no sentient life in Kinigi, aside from the passing souls of the conscious dead, and the defenders of these afterlife-based realms. … Read more
When I was young, I used to believe in a traditional afterlife. When you died, you’d go to a special place where everything was good and warm and fun, and you’d spend forever being there because you lived a good life and you deserved it. Even when I was shown that the afterlife wasn’t an … Read more
