Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “Is everyone alright?” Teekay struggled to get up. The air was frigid and damp, the walls frozen to the touch. Last thing he could remember was passing out after falling from a pretty damn high building. Lying around him were his fellow K-Class Ksa, all slowly regaining consciousness. Out of habit, he did a head … Read more
The Great Library stands on a great hill overlooking the equally great city of Thre-Vretania. It is a large, marble and glass building, rectangular in shape, with a large glass dome on the roof. Its innards are lined with a millennium’s worth of history and paperwork, neatly organized by the renowned Θ-Class Ksa. Within the … Read more
“I can’t believe Elkay is gone…” Rethais muttered as he entered the Council Room, closing the door behind him. The other members of the Circle were all there, they were just waiting for the High General. Behind their simple, wooden seats, the V- and S-Classes stood on guard, watching for any threats via the large, … Read more
“Ser, General Elkay has been pronounced dead…” High General Photeianos stood at his desk as his Ksa gathered around him, handing him information and asking for instructions. Outside, Rethans were knocking on his office door, trying to get more information. He did not want any of them in there right now. With a flick of … Read more
Sirens blared around the main Council building, the standing stone of Rethan society. Many Rethans tried to continue on with what they were doing, trying to ignore what the sirens meant. One of their leaders was gone. At the top of the stairs, in front of the entrance to the council building, was the bleeding, … Read more
It was the 6pm rush hour, and many Rethans were running around trying to get home, or get to get to work to start their shift. But in a small, quiet cafe, four Ksa sat peacefully, watching the world go by. Their 12 hour shifts had finally finished. They all had sugar-free drinks, with a … Read more
Teekay rolled his eyes as someone knocked on the door behind him. He’d been moving boxes around on behalf of the Vice General all evening and wasn’t in the mood to speak to anyone. “Yes? What do you want? Can’t you see I’m busy?” “Do you have a moment to talk, Teekay?” Immediately, Teekay realised … Read more
Nine Threan-type Rethans sat at wooden, unfurnished desks, each with a small, wooden stool, in a hall made mostly of concrete. There was little decoration to the room, apart from a handful of weapon stands. Two of the seats in the room though were currently unoccupied. At the front of the hall, a wooden door … Read more
“You ever feel like we’re treated like slaves?” Teekay glanced up from the book he was reading. The other handful of Ksa, all spending some time relaxing after a hard day’s work, did the same. “Pardon, Veekay?” Veekay hesitated for a moment. He’d been sitting at his desk, reading about the Kalsa Warriors of Kolasi … Read more
“They are going to kill me, medic!” Deyar cowered in the corner, terrified of everything going on around him. He was having a panic attack, and the medic in the room was trying her best to keep him calm. “I don’t want to go in there!” “Deyar, you know they are fellow Rethans, they would … Read more
The Ksa are genetically altered, highly trained Threan-type Rethavok, designed from birth to perform specific duties in and around Rethan territories. Despite their small, often unarmored bodies, the Ksa are incredibly powerful, capable of vast and deadly abilities, including an amplified version of standard Threan-type telepathy and telekinisis. Many Ksa are elementally attuned and at … Read more
Tenuk’s first step into Death’s home left him with something warm and sticky on his feet. He didn’t know what it was, but it was horrible. The rest of the room he’d just entered was in a similar state, all covered in a strange, off-white liquid, dripping down the walls and covering the floor. Not … Read more
“I want to know about you.” Aziten pushed his uneaten steak across his plate, ignoring the Threan sitting opposite him. After a few huffs and puffs, he finally looked up. “Why do you want to know about me, kid?” Arkay shrugged. He’d finished his dinner ages ago but had remained at the table to keep … Read more
“My, my, how you have let Death affect you, little children…” Every Deitic in the large, lush, palatial room froze. At the entrance of the Great Hall of the Anexartitai stood a towering monster, its face clad in a mask of gold, with tattered antlers growing out of its head. The collection of Deitics, ranging … Read more
“So I have Death visiting me while I’m awake and now you’re visiting me in my dreams?” Your mind wanders. Your mind seeks. She is inbuilt into you. “Of course Death is. She brings us to life then kills us and reincarnates us. Unless you’re unlucky. What are you doing here in my dreams?” Like … Read more
