Adventures in the Space Between Universes
“You, uh, called me earlier than expected.” Most Rethan doctors were either really young or really old. Or, rather, they just looked like it. Doctor Fetiir, a somewhat tall but skinny pale blue-plated Rethan, had been Kuta’s main doctor for pretty much all of Kuta’s adult life, for nearly seventy years, but they had treated … Read more
A knock on the door woke Relkir up, but Gath had hardly moved. To be fair, both of them were hungover. Or maybe still drunk. Relkir wasn’t sure. Probably the latter, since both they and Gath were on holiday, and all they’d really done so far was eat and drink. The previous night, they had … Read more
“By the Light! Why does all the awful stuff happen when the three of us are on shift together?” Litvir asked as he picked both himself and Retvik up off the floor. Standing before them was Elkay, with his wings wide open, seemingly shielding the elder Rethans from… something. The three of them had been … Read more
“BOO!” Retvik nearly jumped out of bed. The whole house had been completely silent, what with Kayel and Nyssi staying at their own homes and Tenuk spending the night at Talok’s place, so Kuta suddenly leaping out from the shadow in the corner and throwing themselves into Retvik’s bed did catch him unaware. “Kuta! You … Read more
“Huh. Didn’t know Retvik was into bondage…” Everyone present reeled back in shock at Eksi’s abrupt and seemingly random statement. Phovos dropped her bowl of food, Elksia blinked in surprise and Elkay started spluttering, having inhaled some of his drink. Once Elkay had coughed up some of the diet lemonade that had gone down the … Read more
“Heya, Relkir, you alright?” It turned out that Gath was very popular among the house fighters of the Great Arenas, and everyone had spent a great afternoon having fun and chatting. Somehow, that afternoon turned into drinking games in the evening, combining into a celebration of multiple things. Also, it seemed that Retvik had more … Read more
“Firstly, it is great to see you, sibling. Secondly… what the actual fuck?” Relkir was well known to not swear much, so that statement caught pretty much everyone off guard. Relkir and Gath had come to the Great Arenas for a private tour, given by none other than the Lightbearer himself. “What?” Retvik replied innocently. … Read more
“Hello, Kyr Raptor, you wished to speak to me?” Retvik used to fear Phovoula, the head manager of the Great Dessaron Battle Arenas. After all, she had given him a job when no one else would, and, for a long time, Retvik knew that if he stepped out of line, he’d end up on the … Read more
“Well, that is convenient!” Gath smiled as they and Relkir lumbered down the path, dragging their luggage behind them. They had just gotten off the bus that had taken them from the space port to the collection of holiday villas they were due to be staying at. “In fact, this has all been rather convenient … Read more
Unender: Hello, Arkay, are you around? Deathbringer is now online. Deathbringer: Oh, heya Elkay! What’s up? Unender: Nothing much. I enjoyed our talk the other, uh, day and wanted to talk again. Deathbringer: Is something wrong? Unender: No, no. It is just that time of, uh, day. Unender: I am still not used to the … Read more
Gath grunted as they lugged their carry-on bag and Relkir’s carry-on bag up the mobile stairs and onto the shuttle, to where their seats were. Their main suitcases were already in the hold, all they needed to do was climb aboard themselves. Thankfully, the flight was going to be somewhat quiet, and there had only … Read more
“Ugh, are they still at it?” “Unfortunately, yes.” Vokulunaax grunted as he perched on the colossal window ledge, watching the universe drift by. Vexer had just finished his guard shift and had come by to rant and complain, like he always did. There were six beings on this small, floating fortress, and they only ever … Read more
Relkir grinned as they rolled onto their side and inspected Gath, who was lying on their back, fiddling with a communicator. They had been staying at Gath’s place for the last couple of days, as Relkir had been given some more forced time off work. Their boss, the High General (and one of Relkir’s triplet … Read more
“The High General does not wish to see you.” The glistening, gold and red-armoured General stared at this short, white-plated Rethan standing in front of them, blocking their way. “Move, child.” “No. The High General does not wish to see you. You ought to leave.” Revan Rethianos was not used to being told no. The … Read more
“Thank the Light, you are back!” Retvik didn’t expect Litvir to immediately jump at him and hug him tightly, but that was exactly what Litvir did. Most old-universe Rethans wouldn’t dare so openly hug each other or even so blatantly show brighter emotions, but Litvir had always been an odd, overly emotional Rethan, so this … Read more
