Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “Been a while, Tenuk!” Death beamed as she descended from the ceiling, covered in blood and bits of white feather. “I thought I’d scared you off permanently.” “Oh, no, not at all!” Tenuk smiled, with more confidence than usual. “I just got caught up in mortal things. You know what it’s like, you start doing … Read more
“I’m worried about Arkay…” Retvik sighed as he paced up and down the kitchen, watching Elksia cook. “You’re always worried about Arkay!” Elksia smiled. She was preparing dinner today. It was supposed to be Arkay’s turn to cook, but since he wasn’t here, Elksia decided to cook her super special ‘pitsa’ meal. Wasn’t at all … Read more
“I have told you and the other officers three times now. Are you really going to make me repeat myself yet again?” Teekay Theanon was in quite a bit of pain. He’d been chained up since Monday, accused of causing all sorts of trouble. Which would have been fair if he had done so, but … Read more
This is News Cassia 24, and we’re coming to you live from Vohran territories on Kolasi, where the Kalsa Warriors of the Kolasia nest have rebelled against their Queen. Details are sketchy so far, but as far as we can tell, the queen of the nest, known as Tayra, has been attacked and is being … Read more
There were times when Retvik wasn’t sure how he ended up in a position and now was one of those times. He was one of the Dessaron, and he was currently in charge of the Dessaron Battle Arenas. Currently. Temporarily. The scheduling matches and keeping fans entertained was a lot of fun. The paperwork not … Read more
“WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY KSA?” Elkay roared as he charged into the sparsely guarded High General’s office. “WHAT DID YOU DO, PHOTEIANOS?” Photeianos glanced up from his desk at the angry but also rather cute-looking Threan-type standing in his doorway. “Protecting you, kid.” Elkay stomped into the room and stood at Photeianos’ desk, wings … Read more
Transcript from Kolasia Vohran Nest Nuvak: What the hell, Korak? What the hell are you doing? Where the hell is Talok? Korak: Talok is a Varga now. Nuvak: What? How? Korak: Queen triggered it early. She was bored, apparently. Nuvak: And that is an excuse to turn our best Kalsa Warrior into a Varga twenty … Read more
Kalsa Warrior Korak had been on Entrance Duty for the last 15 hours. She was sick and tired of it, but she was due to finish in a few minutes. She’d arranged to spend an hour with her best friend Talok, also the leader of Group A-L, her Kalsa regiment. They’d been meaning to get … Read more
“Someone get the damn door!” Tenuk shouted angrily from the bathroom. Arkay, who had been asleep all day due to a nasty headache, woke up from the lounge and wearily went to the entrance of the Dessaron’s quarters. He flung the door open, not expecting to see two Rethan officers standing there. “Are you Arkay … Read more
Translated from Laniaglos, language of the Lania Come, children, come listen. For I have the reasons behind the blackening of the sky, the destruction of our highest mountain, the fleeing of time. I saw them with my own four eyes, I heard their battle. Life and Death came together as one. The skies blackened when … Read more
“You know what I’m going to say, don’t you?” Arkay nodded. He didn’t need to say anything, he just wanted Skios to get it over with. He’d finally gotten out of hospital. Thankfully, apart from a small infection from an injury, he was perfectly fine. The Deitics hadn’t done anything worrying to Skios. But that … Read more
Planet Threa is the homeworld of the Retha. It is a pleasant, watery planet with plenty of fertile ground and varied environments. It is also resource-rich, with mild seasonal changes and no large predators. The planet is small, about 1.5 times larger than Mars, and has an atmosphere of 24% oxygen, 70% nitrogen and small … Read more
The Retha are a relatively young race compared to the other dominant species alive currently, only becoming sentient 10 thousand years ago. Before then, they had an intelligence level similar to feral Vahrga, aggressively attacking anything that came near them. They hunted in packs and were often left alone. 50 thousand years ago marks the … Read more
I have been watching since the Phovan universe faded into emptiness, waiting as its remaining particles decay and eventually bloom into something new. These blooms grow into new universes, each governed by new rules, somewhat related to their mother universe but different enough to be new entities of their own. The Artikai universe is one … Read more
Tenuk sighed as he sat down on the little glass stool, while he waited for Death to finish off whatever she was doing. Whatever it was, it involved a lot of screaming, which abruptly came to a halt. Finally, the wall ahead of him opened up and a couple of Veth charged out, carrying two … Read more
