Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay Kayel was exhausted. Ever since his team had accepted the challenge from Retha Squad One, the four of them had been training non-stop. Kayel in particular had been practising more efficient shadowjumping, something that was both physically and mentally draining. Doubly so if Kayel was shadowjumping while carrying someone else. But he’d made a lot … Read more
Nyssi, Tenuk and Kayel all glanced nervously at each other as Retvik paced back and forth, his tail swishing angrily from side to side. They’d just finished a Capture the Flag match against a Temthan team, and had ended it swiftly despite the hideously bright lighting set up to prevent Kayel from shadow-jumping. Instead, Tenuk … Read more
Kayess-En, Kass for short, was a huge being. Standing at nearly 3m tall, she towered over most, even her fellow Rethavok, and had the strength to back herself up. As the leader of Retha Squad One, Kayess-En had lead her team to victory over and over, to the point that they were considered one of … Read more
Most Vohra didn’t really use names. Since Vohran nests were all telepathically linked, actually calling out a name was somewhat needless, and only higher ranked Vohra and their Vahyra Queens would have some sort of name, which was used when speaking to non-Vohra races. However, the Vahrga, the adult males, that fought in the Great … Read more
The Thantophor was in a funny mood. He was supposed to be going out, doing things, watching over his domain, spreading decay and entropy across existence, but he was currently sat in his tiny apartment, staring at a screen, and had been doing so for a couple of hours now. A single voice call that … Read more
Arkay stared at his laptop, surprised that it was still on and running. This was actually the first time he’d been home in a couple of days, having spent the last day or so rushing around doing all the chores he had failed to do while he was ill. Thanks to his new, heightened strength, … Read more
“So, you guys got kidnapped again.” Retvik grunted as he sipped awkwardly from a small can. Like most Rethavok, Retvik very rarely drank caffeine, because it gave him headaches. But he was still recovering from some sort of amnesia-inducing sedation, while at the same time trying to catch up with his training schedule. His team … Read more
“You’re a mess.” Phovos had been sitting alone in the Decaylings-only observatory when a pair of yellow eyes lit up the darkness. She had planned to spend the evening with her close friend Retvik, but the other Decay Lords had dragged him away, clearly about something urgent, and now she was on her own. The … Read more
Time seemed to pause, before suddenly unpausing. Just as Phovos was about to insert the last data stick into this weird, Voidborn console, something had exploded, and Phovos had felt a burning sensation on her skin. However, it seemed that none of that seemed to… have happened? Elksia had plucked the data stick from Phovos’s … Read more
Retvik rubbed his eyes, trying to focus on the drink in front of him. People had been talking to him, but he was too exhausted to pay attention. He, his friends and the Raptor had gone to a fancy Spast bar on the edge of Palaestra, one that Tenuk had insisted was plenty big enough … Read more
For once, Relkir was glad that he had the ability to mimic other beings’ abilities. He was currently in the middle of cutting a hole in the middle of a large, black wall, so he and his team could access an abandoned Voidborn vessel, and was doing so with fire powers he had borrowed off … Read more
“You look… burnt…” Arkay ignored the Allbirther as he sat himself down in an empty seat and poured himself a glass of water. While they’d been gone, Sini had set up a banquet table and all-you-can-eat buffet for herself, Epani and the four mortals she was entertaining, with space for the other deities once they … Read more
Just as Arkay’s friend had said, there was a small ship waiting at the edge of the universe, with six stripes down the side. A door at the rear of the ship was open, waiting for the three beings, however both Retvik and Kairos had to duck under the doorway to get in. Inside was … Read more
The Thantophor was feeling pretty sorry for himself. He was currently sitting in a plastic box, unable to speak, mostly because he’d just had his tongue, lungs and throat cut out in an attempt to curb the corruption that was in his body. Technically, the operation had been a success, there were only trace amounts … Read more
Kayel knocked tentatively on the door, not really sure what to expect. Behind him, clogging up the hallway, were his three friends, plus a crazy, ancient warlord who now ran one of the biggest arenas in the known universe, someone who had insisted that Kayel take her to see the Thantophor in person. The trip … Read more
