Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay The four beings made their way through the debris of the ruined space shuttle, being careful of the flames. But no matter how far they walked, there only ever seemed to be more flames, more scraps of metal, more carnage. It seemed as though they had been walking forever. “I have a feeling this isn’t … Read more
“… Where am I?” The creature blinked its large, glowing yellow eyes as it rolled over, disorientated. Its appearance was unusual, an upright, humanoid being, with a reptilian head, covered in bone-like armour. A large armor plate ran up its head, while more bone armour covered its chest, arms and legs. Its hands consisted of … Read more
Phovos watched as the winged Rethan approached with caution. She found it weird that he had wanted to meet in the middle of nowhere, but since she was the one with the deal to make, she thought why not? Was a nice place anyway. “Hi!” Elkay didn’t reply. He stopped in his tracks, then glanced … Read more
“You’ve been acting quiet, Arkay, what’s up?” Eskay had been concerned for a while about his friend. Arkay had spent almost all of his time lately hunched over a laptop computer, going out on friend-dates with the ruler of Palaestra, or sleeping. He had only seen Arkay eat once, and what he ate wasn’t exactly … Read more
The tiny, bedraggled transport, an old 4×4 automobile with a single passenger, inched its way down the narrow, rocky road. Mist hovered around, not sure what to do with itself other than obscure vision and make everything feel dark. It may have only been 7pm, but it was already pitch black, and the lack of … Read more
“So, what do you think?” Elkay stared at the opened package in front of him, inspecting everything that was in it. Its contents was amazing. Shoulder plating with a gold leaf trim. Chest plates with intricate gold spirals on them. Shin pads with silk and fur linings. Belts made of pure stagones leather. A sword … Read more
Elkay tutted as he flicked through the magazine he’d bought earlier. The local Thanatian shops weren’t exactly well-stocked, but considering that they were on the border and that Elkay was supposed to be in hiding, he couldn’t just go to any old Rethan shop and buy a newspaper. He didn’t want to be recognised. Of … Read more
“You seem stressed today, Phovos. Is something bothering you?” Lokmah perched on the roof, looking at the arena below. Phovos had stormed up there, all angry, and Lokmah wanted to know why. “It’s nothing.” “It is something, Phovos.” Phovos grunted, then started picking paint off the ledge, a clear sign that she was upset. “Phovos, … Read more
Arkay stared at the sign, then double-checked his map. He was definitely at the right place, but the sign on the front door said ‘closed’. Yet there were plenty of beings inside, clearly having drinks. Without warning, a heavy arm slammed against Arkay’s shoulder. Out of instinct, he jumped up, teeth bared, only to see … Read more
The four Vrekans were all alarmingly tall, bulky and well-armoured. They looked almost ridiculous, following the casually dressed Thanatian down the road, but no one was willing to say that to their faces. They were all members of the Myst, an elite squad of Vrekan warriors with one purpose – to protect and serve their … Read more
Arkay sat nervously at the desk, waiting for his medic to come back with a variety of blood tests. This medic was new, a more elderly standard-type by the name of Feteer. He wasn’t a bad medic or anything, it was just something about his age and his constant need of blood tests that put … Read more
Phovos’s offices were always busy, not just with beings coming in and out on business, but for pretty much everything pertaining to the city of Palaestra. Of course, Phovos would normally ferry out jobs to her army of loyal Raptors and Kshan, but there were some things Phovos always insisted on dealing with herself. Arranging … Read more
In the beginning, there was nothing and everything. Pante. The Singularity. But Pante was lonely, bored, lacking. It felt empty. It felt an endless cycle of nothingness. A particle would flash in and out of existence. Over and over. Waiting to become something. Eventually, Pante became tired of the cycle, and of the nothingness. It … Read more
On August 8th 2016 PDW, Queen Xytas of the furthest Vohran nests received information from a race called the Tavrans, informing them that a fleet of ships was heading towards planet Threa, the capital of the Rethans. Queen Xytas passed this information on to the Retham Embassy on Vohra 1, who then immediately called on … Read more
On November 1st 2016 PDW, the Vice General Elkay Theanon, and his chief Ksa Veekay Theanon, were thrown from their office on the 25th floor of the Main Council Building, following an attack that left 20 injured. The perpetrator, who apparently had access to the Vice General’s floor, charged in via the elevator, firing weaponry … Read more
