Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “Verlais! Wait!” Kindyna chased after the exhausted Vrekan as he stormed away. “Please, come back!” “No.” “Verlais!” Verlais was having none of it. He was tired and hungry and confused. He wanted to lay down somewhere and have a nice sleep or something. But all around him was yet more rubble, more nothingness. Finally, he … Read more
They’d walked for about twenty minutes, yet the sun still hadn’t set. The little creature happily bounced around ahead of them, leading them away from the demolished space port and towards the outskirts of the city. As they reached the edge of the destruction, they started to see signs of life. Beings of all shapes … Read more
I walk as fast as I can, avoiding attention, before slipping away into a side alley. My kind are not welcome around here. A Temthan dumping ground of former slaves. Big, burly reptilian beings everywhere, all suffering from various, untreated injuries. They’ve always envied us Thraki for managing to remain free all these years. But … Read more
“Five million years!” Tenuk kept his head low as Death screeched at him. “FIVE MILLION YEARS! WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU FOR FIVE MILLION YEARS?” Eventually, Death’s screeches left the sound spectrum and became completely inaudible to Tenuk. Part of him was regretting showing up, or even bothering in general. It wasn’t like he’d tried … Read more
The little creature was unconscious, breathing heavily to itself. It was about the same size and shape as Arksi, but more ‘feral’, with a pair of large, curved horns protruding from behind its eyes. Its skin was black, but the armour plating covering its body was yellow. Ct’Era edged over to the creature and nudged … Read more
“This is not right…” The lumpy ship touched down on the ground, so smoothly that its occupants were unsure that the ship had actually landed at all. A door slid open and they slowly inched their way out. The landscape was strewn with debris. Crumbling buildings, shredded roads, small fires, all littering the world around … Read more
Retvik was surprised to find that Arkay was home. For the last few weeks, he had either been staying with his brothers or spending time in an office working for the Raptor. It had been a while since they had seen each other. After dumping several bags of shopping on the worktop in the kitchen, … Read more
Volt was bored. He had been lounging around inside his Orbiter for several hours now, waiting for things to happen. Great things he had been told. Mysterious things. New things to do. It wasn’t like Volt didn’t have things to do. He still had plenty of missions building up from across the Origin System, particularly … Read more
“I knew we should have cryofroze them for longer…” the Anexartan repeatedly muttered as he lead the four beings down hallway after hallway. They walked past various doors and pathways, none of them labelled. The only thing that ever changed was the colour of the walls, which randomly changed between shades of grey and red. … Read more
“Ow.” Ct’Era was somewhat stuck. They’d been walking for a long time. No one knew how long they had been walking for, as there was no point of reference around. They had expected to find a wall or something, but instead happened to find a hole in the ground. Which Ct’Era had fallen straight into. … Read more
A third competitor fell to the ground, defeated by the newest member of the House Fighters. The House Fighters had always been the toughest and strongest fighters in the Dessaron Battle Arena, but rather than fighting for their own races, they represented the Arena itself. Their most common duty was to fight challengers who wanted … Read more
“Do I really have to ask where we are AGAIN?” Arksi woke up to find himself hanging from a ceiling, tied up in heavy, rusty chains. To his right was Kindyna, to his left was Verlais. To Verlais’s left was Ct’Era. Everything else was pitch black, apart from the odd flickering of red light, like … Read more
Volt hated Spy missions. He hated them with a passion. Not because Volt couldn’t hack, in fact, Volt had mastered hacking pretty quickly. He didn’t mind the sneaking either, he actively enjoyed being sneaky at times. No, Volt hated Spy missions because of all those stupid energy fields and sensors and cameras and stuff that … Read more
“Alright… Cut down the middle slowly… That’s it… Alright, I got them!” Arksi was using his telekinisis to keep the unconscious pilot off the ground, while Ct’Era and Verlais pulled away the remaining goo from their body. Behind them, Kindyna was keeping twenty very sleepy, very scared beings awake, by trying to explain what was … Read more
“Oh shit…” Arkay stood helplessly at the barrier blocking entrance to the crime scene. In the distance, the local Astynom, the Rethavok police force, were investigating and trying to work out what happened. A small public transport shuttle carrying fifty passengers and a crew of four had signalled for help before falling from the sky … Read more
