Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “AAAAAAAAAAHH!” Litvir’s scream echoed down the hallway, bouncing off the walls and tearing through the minds of his crew mates. He hadn’t intended to scream so loud, but the sudden tearing pain in his stomach had caught Litvir completely off guard. The pain stabbed at Litvir like a rolling tide, ebbing and flowing, but definitely … Read more
“So, what do ya think?” Kairos glanced at Epani. Epani glanced at Kairos, then back to Yisini. Yisini stared at both her fellow gods, waiting for an answer. “You want to make life a paradise for everyone until you can find out how to make everyone immortal?” Kairos asked. “Like, everyone, everyone? Or just those … Read more
“Fuck.” “What?” “Piss.” “What?!” “MULTIPLE CURSE WORDS!” Arkay turned to Galyn, almost insulted by Galyn’s choice of swearing. “Did you really just say-” “I did…” Galyn snarled, smashing his fingers into a screen. On it, several words flashed repeatedly. “This is so much shit. The damned bureaucracy around here!” Arkay read and re-read the words … Read more
“The glowing lights are back.” Phovos grunted as she stepped outside, where Teekay was standing with a pair of binoculars. Due to their location at the bottom of the universe, technically hanging upside down, the view was quite unusual. They could see a vast distance south (at least south of the universe), but their view … Read more
“This is awkward…” Galyn checked the console, then redid his calculations. For the seventh time, he had come to the same conclusion. “What do you mean?” Arkay asked, not really sure what Galyn was doing. As far as he could tell, they needed to create an anchor, a specific set of coordinates in four-dimensional space, … Read more
Tenuk headed up the stairs towards the upper balcony. It wasn’t used much, mostly just as a nice vantage point, but he liked going there to just be on his own. However, as Tenuk reached the top of the stairs, he realised someone else was already there. “Oh, sorry Phovos…” Tenuk muttered, stepping back slightly. … Read more
“Arkay…” Litvir knocked on the door, then paused, immediately losing his trail of thought. Arkay was sitting on his bed, clearly upset and angry, but also unable to release his anger. Several pillows had been thrown around, but Litvir noticed something else: there were small dents in Arkay’s forearm plating. He had been… biting himself? … Read more
“While we have some time on our hands, may I ask you two a question?” The three Decaylings were sitting in the observatory, mostly minding their own business. Arkay had cooked dinner and they’d decided to eat together. Normally there would be universes exploding into life, but the void seen from this observatory was particularly … Read more
Kalis sat down in the plastic chair, twiddling his thumbs anxiously. The table in front of him was split in two. Half of it was phased through a sheet of impact-proof plasti-glass, with an empty chair on the other side. This room was designed for “troubled Decay Lords”, hybrid beings with various medical issues, to … Read more
“You’re late.” Elksia rolled her eyes. “By half a second.” “You’re not supposed to be late.” Elksia rolled her eyes some more. “There was a fricking black hole! I had to fix it! You’re talking a lot of shit, Kairos!” The Whenvern paused, staring at his student. Elksia had never spoken back to him before. … Read more
Galyn watched as the last ship faded into the distance, before turning his attention to his own ship, where his three crew mates were waiting for him. He didn’t really want to call them students or anything any more. In fact, lately, the three of them had proven to work incredibly well together, showing a … Read more
For a brief moment, Litvir felt completely safe as Retvik wrapped his arms around him. As the Flamebearer let go though, that feeling completely vanished, and Litvir was swiftly reminded of his present location: a slaver ship full of dead beings. “What happened, are you alright?” “In all honesty? Not at all…” Litvir sighed, glancing … Read more
“WHO TOUCHED ME?” Litvir woke up tied to a cross, blood dripping down his face, pain tearing through his limbs. He was surrounded by soldiers, all with bayonets pointed at him. Bloody claw marks coated his non-armoured parts, and big chunks had been cut out of his plating. But no one was looking at him. … Read more
Litvir skidded down the hallway, into a little alcove. He was certain that someone had spotted him. He’d been sloppy in his movements, brushing past too many other beings. And as his psionic abilities were currently all over the place, there was no guarantee that he’d properly shielded himself from view. It didn’t really matter … Read more
Sirens blared as spinklers began spewing water from the ceiling. The lights had gone off, dumping the merchandise cells in darkness. This would have been a concerning situation, had all the cells not just opened up. “Free the elders from stasis! Get to the hangar! Smash the generators! Move!” A voice echoed through the long, … Read more
