Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “So how are you feeling today?” Vikalos asked from behind the desk. “Better? Worse?” Arkay shrugged, not completely sure himself. “I… don’t know.” “Is that a negative “don’t know” or a positive one?” “A negative. I kinda feel like something bad is about to happen.” Vikalos tilted his head to one side, scanning the tiny … Read more
“Did any of you feel that?” Kalis, Vetal and Ksatah all looked up from their massive slices of pizza. Arkay had been quiet all day, so his sudden muttering seemed a bit out of place. “Feel what?” Kalis asked as he folded some of his pizza in half then gobbled it down. Arkay shrugged, pushing … Read more
“I do not understand this place…” Kuta groaned to himself as he sat down on a bench. To his left, a small, peaceful stream and running down a perfectly curated miniature forest. To his right was Retvik, who was peacefully eating a bowl of mashed potatoes. It took a moment for Kuta to realize that … Read more
“You are up late again, my dear. Are you well?” Rethais grunted as Lysar made her way over, carrying a plate of small, freshly cooked meatballs. The High General had been staring out towards the city for a while now, feeling rather conflicted about, well, lots of things. “Am I well? I cannot truly say…” … Read more
“Hey, Retvik, can I ask a question?” The Raptor and the Rethan glanced at each other as they stared out into the night sky. At the Kinigi Life Oasis, it was always technically night time, but many of the lights were dimmed during off-hours, making everything seem more peaceful. As for Phovos and Retvik, it … Read more
“So why are you here?” Ksatah’s question had caught Arkay off guard. Both of them, as well as their fellow friends Kalis and Vetal, were playing a video game together. They were all located in different apartments, using voice chat, since they weren’t really allowed outside. “Me?” Arkay asked. “Yeah, you.” “Why are you asking?” … Read more
Retvik grunted as he woke up from his nap. He’d just finished a rather long shift doing guard duty for Kinisis’s Life Oasis and had hoped to take a small break before starting on his next job. However, even from his tiny little hotel room, he could hear confused voices all arguing with each other. … Read more
“Feel free to roam through this shopping centre. An elder Decay Lord will come by to pick you up in two hours.” Arkay blinked as the sliding doors behind him gently closed, the warm air from outside being replaced by a cool but artificial-seeming breeze. The air conditioning felt like it was on its maximum … Read more
“Hey, uh, Retvik?” “Mhm?” “Can I ask you something?” Retvik shrugged, turning his attention away from the stars glimmering in the distance. After Tenuk and Elksia headed home for some fun, it was now just Retvik and Phovos left in the otherwise empty bar. “What is bothering you?” Retvik asked. “Is something wrong?” Phovos sighed … Read more
“New look?” Vikalos asked as Arkay stepped out from his little apartment. Behind the elder Decay Lord was an entity about the same size and shape as Arkay, but wrapped in gloopy, starry nebulae. “Uh, yeah…” Arkay stuttered a little. “Just kinda wanted to be more armoured.” “Makes sense…” Vikalos nodded somewhat understandingly, then turned … Read more
Arkay sighed as he picked himself up off the floor, being careful not to step in any of the broken glass scattered across the kitchen. He hadn’t been doing too well over the last week or so, and the randomness of his budding Life Goddess powers were starting to piss Arkay off. “Do you need … Read more
“Hey, Kalis, can I ask you something quickly?” Kalis paused, just as he was about to step into the bathroom. His housing situation was quite odd, especially since there was a glass wall between him and his ‘room mate’. Normally, the being on the other side of the glass, a black and yellow being named … Read more
“Oh, uh… hi Retvik.” Phovos had been minding her own business, gazing out into the darkness. She was supposed to be changing shifts soon, but for some reason, her boss had dragged everyone else into a meeting, so Phovos had the guard balconies to herself. That was, until a rather fiery Rethavok appeared. “Hello, Phovos, … Read more
Arkay hesitated briefly as he stepped out of the cold, grey corridor and into what was now his own little apartment. Immediately to his right was a small kitchen. Ahead of him was a living room and a doorway that lead to the bathroom and bedrooms. Most of the walls were bare and empty, a … Read more
Arkay sat patiently in his chair. Aside from the large screen in front of him, there was very little of interest in the room. The door to his left was closed, with a guard standing on the other side. After what felt like a little too long, the screen switched itself on, and another being … Read more
