Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
The wind was harsh. Harsher than normal. It was accompanied by a spattering of rain, not hard enough to require shelter but present nonetheless. Right now, Elkay didn’t care as he stared into the dark abyss, contemplating his life. He knew the exact moment where it had all shattered. Leading the innocent to safety. Protecting … Read more
Retvik sat at the control panel, staring out into the strange environment outside. It was raining shards of pale blue glass, sharp sheets of crystal meth, and the swaying trees outside had been completely battered. Based on the planet’s orientation, it should have been entering summer season, but the sudden changes to the planet had … Read more
Elkay stared out of the window, torrents of thoughts sloshing through his mind. He had been living with Teekay for a few weeks now, and although he was comfortable and feeling better, there were many things that were bothering him. Right now, the biggest issue Elkay had was how it was always dark outside. Elkay … Read more
Normally, Volt didn’t accept random invitations. But today’s random invitation was from a familiar friend. Someone he hadn’t spoken to in a while. A normally very happy little Excalibur who often found himself stuck in the past. But as Volt accepted the random invitation, he realised all was not well. “GO AWAAAAAAY!” Excalibur screamed as … Read more
“I can’t fucking believe we’re still on this damn ship!” Elksia screeched as she charged in and out of the kitchen area. “I wanna go out there! I hate it in here! Is boring!” Psiksi had been ignoring Elksia at first. Ever since they had arrived on the strange, tattered planet, something had felt wrong … Read more
“Am I a traitor?” Elkay suddenly asked as he swirled a glass of orangey drink in his hands. “What?” Teekay lifted his head up off the pile of cushions and glared at Elkay. He was sleepy and definitely too tipsy. Glancing at the nearest clock, he realised that he and Elkay had been drinking for … Read more
“What is that?” Elkay asked as the front door opened and Teekay stepped inside. Teekay was carrying a large bag of shopping, which he unceremoniously dumped on the dining table. “What are you doing?” Teekay replied with a completely unrelated question. “What are you cooking?” Elkay’s eyes drifted from the dining table to the frying … Read more
“Ugh. Rain.” Psiksi pouted as he watched some sort of blue-green liquid run down the window. The four beings, one Vrekan, one Rethan, one Skyan and one Kronospast in the shape of a Rethan, had been sitting in the ship for an hour, waiting for… something. Psiksi couldn’t quite remember what. “Is it reaaaaally rain … Read more
Elkay reached for the box of paper tissues, only to find that it was empty. In the space of several hours, he had emptied the entire box and he wasn’t sure whether there were any more boxes lying around. There wasn’t any bathroom paper. That was the first thing Elkay had gone through, after he’d … Read more
This room was familiar to Retvik. The throne room that once belonged to a deranged leader, the throne room that had been sealed away. The throne room that had been completely gutted and reopened. The throne room in which his brother now sat. If one thought that Retvik Rethianos was a menacing, powerful Rethan, then … Read more
“What is that?” Arkadin pointed at the very large box that was taking up the majority of the space on the table. After a very nice day out, Kairos had brought Arkadin back to one of his luxury floating capsule homes. Kairos’s homes were always amazing in vastly different ways. This particular home was particularly … Read more
Elkay nearly dropped his bags in surprise as Teekay led him up towards his little home. “It is… so small…” Teekay stared at Elkay. “What do you mean?” “Your home is tiny.” “Yes, so?” Teekay ignored Elkay’s confusion and started unloading boxes from his equally small ship. It had been a quiet and awkward ride, … Read more
The little Ember sent her message again, knowing that it would be ignored. Her message entered the Recruitment Channel and swiftly disappeared, pushed aside by a stream of other messages all saying things she didn’t understand. “LF AXI L3” “H 4X3 NEED HARROW” “LF PROFITTAKER” “H ESO 3/4” None of it made any sense to … Read more
“Out of all the ice cream places in the universe, you just had to bring me to this one, didn’t you?” Kairos glanced up at the sign, then back at Arkadin. “What, I thought you liked Rethan ice creameries?” “I do, but did you have to bring me to THIS one?” Again, Kairos glanced up … Read more
Kairos sifted through the burning rubble, looking for that little glimmer of death hiding beneath it all. The universe had been unreasonably calm for the last few hours and Kairos knew that the reason was because the Thantophor was sulking again. “Go away…” a muffled voice hissed from beneath a pile of burning planks. “No.” … Read more
