Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “You said you’d be home today!” “I’m sorry, Elksia. Something came up.” “What thing?” “Family stuff. I’ll call you when I can.” Tenuk closed the call on his communicator and turned to face the ten beings who had just teleported him from the space port to where he was now. A large, echoing room, with … Read more
“Thank you, kid…” “No worries, Retvik. Least I can do considering…” “Don’t.” “Sorry.” Retvik waved as Kass dropped him off on the little path to his partner’s home. Kass revved the engine of his little hovercraft, wished Retvik well then sped off into the distance, probably back to his own little house on the other … Read more
Dear Diary, This is my final entry here for now. I’ve been sitting here in my room for about an hour trying to work out what the fuck to write. Still struggling. The special someone I met was Elisia Redspine. She is the current empress of the Temthans and rules over a good twenty billion … Read more
Dear Diary, I feel much better now. The Temthans have accepted me into their ranks. Now that I am no longer fighting them, my body is taking to the various medications I have been given. One of the… tests I faced was unusual. It hurt quite a lot, but it completely healed my body of … Read more
Dear Diary, Today has been horrible. The Raptesses locked me in a room with two of their members, their leader Neraida and a younger one called Troma. They administered some kind of drug that let them look into parts of my mind. I don’t know what they saw, or even if they saw anything, but … Read more
Prime Minister Aesop Korinna was having a very bad day. Glaucia was ranting again. “… And now we are expected to cover the costs of the other races for their stupid illnesses! When will it end?” There was an uneasy cheer among the many ministers and members of parliament. This was a weekly joint session … Read more
Dear Diary, I never used to write in my old diaries every day, but I kinda have to. There’s so much… going on? Not that I truly know of. Secret things. Lurking in the background. Schemes and plots. Never been a fan of schemes and plots. The Temthans are not fans of them either. The … Read more
I sigh as the ship sails away into the unknown. On it are the bodies of four Raptai, a plant-based race of beings that were killed by Stasis. They suffocated, starved to death from the carbon dioxide they so desperately needed to live. We intended to bury them at the Hall of Heroes, like any … Read more
Dear Diary, The Temthans have allowed me to have a diary, after I tried some… unsavoury things yesterday. Being so far away from home and being so abused made me pretty damn depressed. But after a lot of antidepressants, I’m feeling better now. The idea behind the diary, I assume, is that they want to … Read more
No matter how many times my brothers tell me otherwise, I always feel that, deep down, today will be a bad day. I should probably start from the beginning. I am a K-Class Ksa, a member of an elite winged team of Threan-type Rethans designed and trained from birth to do one thing – protect … Read more
Tenuk stood by the water’s edge, watching as souls drifted down the shallow, glittering river. The sky was slowly turning from a light pink to a deep, dark navy blue, but there were no stars in the sky. “Hiya, Tenypoo!” Death leaped out of a nearby bush riding on the back of one of her … Read more
This was supposedly the afterlife. Heaven. The shores of Kinigi, to go by its proper name. It didn’t look like anything Tenuk expected. No fluffy clouds or little angelic thropes… humans with wings, nothing like that. He was standing in about 20cm of water, in a lake or ocean that stretched on forever to his … Read more
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
“I’m going to find him.” Retvik glared at Tenuk. The Ethran-type had been gone for five hours, and now he’d reappeared in an insane getup, spouting nonsense. “You’re going to do what?” “I will find Arkay and bring him back.” Tenuk stood in the doorway, wearing a really bad-ass set of armour and carrying a … Read more
For some reason, Arkay was still alive. He’d managed to free himself from the collapsing rubble, the remains of the golden islands and black floating platforms. It was all now just floating in an endless sea of space and stars. There was just enough air for Arkay to breathe. A thin, slightly sticky air, but … Read more
