Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Kuta tutted to themselves as they wandered around their temporary new home. Most Rethans lived in what were normally dubbed half-houses. Not because they lacked anything, but because they tended to have one and a half floors, with the second floor only covering half the area, generally above the kitchen and storage area, making the … Read more
No matter what Retvik did, he couldn’t cool himself down. He’d turned off the flames that rippled up his body, he’d spent a good fifteen minutes standing in the shower, he’d even stuck his head (and partially melted) the freezer in a bid to lower his internal body temperature, but no, Retvik was still sweating. … Read more
It was nice being back home. Sure, Retvik needed to go shopping, but he could finally take off his armour and just wander around in a stomach wrap and loin cloth. In fact, his housemates had already gone and done something similar. As soon as they’d stepped back inside Retvik’s house, Nyssi had removed almost … Read more
Kohra and Levik both felt somewhat uneasy as they waited in the narrow hallway. Sure, they had ten bodyguards with them, two of whom were Rethavok supplied by the Great Arenas, but they were also sharing a hallway with the mighty Lightbearer, a living legend that even the two Rethan guards feared. However, the two … Read more
Retvik felt hot, hotter than normal. This wasn’t good. Having the ability to manipulate things like heat, fire and plasma, Retvik rarely felt anything other than perfectly warm, as he would alter his internal body temperature to never feel too hot or cold. Right now though, whenever Retvik would cool himself down, about fifteen minutes … Read more
Kindyna tapped her claws together as she sat impatiently in her chair, waiting for the other two guests to arrive. Yes, she was fifteen minutes early, but Kindyna was the current Vassil of the Ksithans, their Queen and Representative, she HAD to be early, she had appearances to keep. More annoyingly though, aside from an … Read more
Akah almost screamed as a long, noodly arm dragged him into the observatory as he walked past. But as Akah settled down and realised what was going on, he realised that someone randomly grabbing him was a good thing, because he was going to the wrong observatory. “Oh, hello! Are you all alright?” Akah glanced … Read more
Arkay had been hanging around the throne room, hiding in the shadows in the ceiling, for about an hour now. Despite being an utterly ancient being, he was never really sure how to approach beings of power. Banikans were easy to approach because they respected him, but most other creatures? It was always a toss … Read more
Elksia found herself leaping back and forth, repeating herself, going around in circles. But no matter what she did, the Phantai in front of her was still lying there, unmoving. No, not unmoving. Dead. Gone. Another attempt. Elksia tried to alter the time threads around the battle. But no, every single time thread led to … Read more
“Fuck no, no way, no fucking way, no no no!” Tenuk had wished he’d not checked his messages before the flight. The flight had been delayed by half an hour, so everyone was kinda stuck on board, waiting for, well, something. Things weren’t too bad, since Tenuk and his three friends were in their own … Read more
Epani glanced at her fellow deities as she sat down on her red and gold throne. They all looked weird. Armoured and angry. “My dear deities, why are all three of you dressed as Rethavok today? Do you not have your own races to dress as?” Arkay crossed his arms and grunted but didn’t answer. … Read more
“Arkay! I am so happy to see you! You need to stay with me! We need to stay together! The Allbirther demands it but also I demand it! We…” Kuta fell silent, covering their mouth. In their excitement and relief, they realized they were speaking far too quickly. The Thantophor remained in the doorway for … Read more
“WHERE IS EPANI?” “WHERE IS ARKAY?” Kairos and Sini both realized they had shouted at each other at exactly the same time. The Whenvern apologized first, but only because he was the God of Time and thus faster than Sini. However, he was quite surprised that Sini also apologized. Normally the female deities of this … Read more
Most of the observatories on the Shimmering Blade were open to everyone, but this one in particular had a sign on the door, loudly stating “quiet please” and “Thantir only”. Inside, nine desks had been set up, eight of them facing the ninth, arranged like a small classroom. There were seats for everyone, as well … Read more
