Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “Reeeeeeetvik?” The gleeful cry for attention echoed across the main chamber and into a place crudely called Hell’s Kitchen, where Retvik was busy making dinner for the personification of Death. He paused for a moment, confused by both Death’s cry and how long that previous sentence was, before answering. “Yes, Mistress?” “What you dooooooing?” Retvik … Read more
“How is he?” “Well, if I hadn’t sworn to never intentionally harm another sentient being, I would recommend that we put a bullet between his eyes and put him out of his misery.” “Is it that bad?” Kaldoran, the General of Medical Affairs and essentially the best medic in Rethan territories, nodded his head. At … Read more
Elisia watched with caution as the Rethan medic tended to her. Every little thing he did, she scrutinized it, waiting for the medic to do something to intentionally harm her, so she could claim that he’d broken the Temthan-Rethan peace treaty she’d been forced to sign, and have him executed. But no, the medic was … Read more
The majority of the ships decided to hover over the nearby ocean, but this one silently landed outside the large, marble and glass building. While the ships may have been silent, the sound of a thousand heavy pairs of feet stomping out of time towards the stairs certainly wasn’t. Outside the building, the home of … Read more
“What do you want, Tahnahos?” Lord Avra growled as he monitored the stupidly large number of consoles around him. On each screen was either an image of a fleet of Temthan ships, a number of Vohran anti-space vessels or the preparations of the Rethan Stratos. Behind him stood a being who, despite looking nothing like … Read more
“My beloved Followers of the Holy Cycle, today I bring glorious news. For so long, we have been neglecting to bring other species under our wing, we have forgotten to share the Holy Cycle with the rest of the universe. Soon, we will once more be spreading the Holy Cycle across the galaxy. “The Temthans … Read more
“… Every non-combatant needs to get to the safe-zones at the edge of each Thre or off planet. But I want as few non-combatants as possible. There are twenty billion of these bastards and the Vice General needs as many of us as possible defending Thre-Etas and Thre-Vretania!” “General, ser, how are we going to … Read more
“You’re so beautiful…” Lenik sat up in bed and glanced to his right, where the Xentress was sleeping. He realised he’d uncovered her, so he delicately pulled the blanket over her exposed arms. They’d been sharing a bed now for a few days, ever since the Empress put Arkai under his protection, but something had … Read more
While most species think that luck and superstition are silly, old traditions, the Thanatians still cling on to their ancient, environment-worshipping beliefs. One of the more dominant beliefs is Raptoric Astrology, particularly the twelve star signs which are used to predict fortune at both the hatching and throughout the life of individual Thanatians. Although they … Read more
Tanra: Queen Prime Tanra speaking. Who is this and what do you want? Elkay: Hello, Queen Tanra. It’s Elkay Theanon. Vice General of the Retha. Tanra: Ah, Silvertongue. Fatherless one. What do you want? Elkay: No reason to mock me. I wish to cash in a favour. I helped you fix your silly little Kalsa … Read more
Elkay: Hello, this is Vice General Elkay Theanon, acting leader of the Rethas. I would like to request that you give us a little more information on the incoming threat you mentioned to the Maza. Aspras: Hello, Vice General. I am Aspras Monomavran, Arhontas of the Tavrans. Where is your real leader? Elkay: High General … Read more
Flanked by his dedicated team of Ksa, Vice General Elkay touched down outside the freshly rebuilt chambers of the Council, the main governing body of Rethan society. He was immediately met by Thitavee-En, the head of security for both the Council and the High General of the Retha. “Good morning, General Elkay. I assume you … Read more
“XENTRESS!” Timn skidded to a halt just outside Arkai’s private quarters. “XENTRESS! GET UP!” Arkai wearily got out of bed to see what the hell was going on. “What is it? Oh. Timn. I wanted to see you actually. Wanted to ask why I have been so sleepy over the last few days, and when … Read more
Dearest, beloved Gath, You haven’t spoken to me since the fire. I am worried sick about you. I have tried calling you and messaging you and all sorts. When I requested to be wheeled to your side in my bed, I was refused. You clearly don’t want to speak to me. I don’t know why. … Read more
Dear Diary, Dear Elksia, This is one of those rare moments where I am actually alive and awake. Not some sort of mindless zombie. I find it ironic how I keep on telling them a Threavok. The Threavok were all turned into sex slaves before they were killed off too. Just wanted to share that … Read more
