Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Kayel was sitting on the beach on his own again. He didn’t have much on his mind, he was just relaxing and having some quiet time. But he was unaware that he was partially being watched. On patrolling guard duty right now was Arkay, the deity Kayel once worshiped when he was in the Phantasma … Read more
Ret and his team always loved going to the Pink Paradise. They normally visited after doing a Corruption Purge if they were in the area, and it was a chance to de-stress and relax a little before heading back to the vague normality of Savepoint. Sure, Ret wished that Kuta was around to join him … Read more
“Shush, shush, babe, you’re safe. It’s alright…” Arkay ignored the scratches up and down his body and kept his arms wrapped around Kayel, who wasn’t quite awake but was trembling and shaking, clearly terrified of something unseen. Kayel’s panic had started without any warning. While his eyes remained shut, he had clawed at anything and … Read more
“I think I just worked out why no one else lives on floating islands.” “It’s fine. It’s just a glitch, they’re working on it!” Normally, there would be much more activity at Savepoint, but recent Voidstorms had chased both Corruption and visitors off. The only client that had stopped by recently was a single Pentathax … Read more
It was late and Kuta was both tired and still a bit drunk. Normally they didn’t drink much, but they were busy celebrating. Well, up until a few hours ago when Kuta got very sleepy and decided to have a nap. Right now though, there was something very heavy on top of them. “Hello, dear.” … Read more
Everything was clear, and a gentle wind blew through. The audience was sitting patiently, waiting for the two partners-to-be to arrive. And they swiftly did. Lesii, the mother of one partner-to-be, led Gath down on the left, while Rethais, the twin sibling of Relkir, led Relkir down on the right, to the table on the … Read more
“Alright, that’s all sorted, now we need to… Hang on…” Both Arkay and Kuta had picked up the intention, but Arkay has gotten up first. “That is worrying, yes?” Kuta asked. “A little, but don’t worry. I got this.” “Anything we can do to help?” Ret frowned, aware that something was wrong but not knowing … Read more
“You are no longer one of us. You are to go on your own, you will not identify as one of us. Go. Leave and do not come back.” The wind outside was howling. Leaves and litter were swirling around and rain was beginning to fall. The skies were dark, and a storm was on … Read more
The gym area was a pretty new addition to Savepoint, but it was already getting a lot of use. While the Thantir Beh’ens were regular users, as were Akah and Ksar Teekay, the person who used the gym by far the most was Ret. Apparently, according to Nyssi, before he met his crazy immortal friends, … Read more
“So, do you still want kids, Ret?” Ret didn’t quite answer. He was busy scribbling things down. Nyssi, Tanos and Kayel on the other hand were mostly just chilling. They’d just gotten back from a Corruption Purge in the Ventra Expanse, and had somewhat missed the whole “Elksia’s egg hatching” thing. They’d also flown through … Read more
“So… you’re the same species as Kaytee and the Loopblades and Arkay?” Elkay-En had hoped that no one would have noticed him, but this group of visitors were rather curious, and two of them were of a familiar shape to Elkay-En. The much larger one (which was at the upper limits for a Standard-type Retha) … Read more
Ret hadn’t been feeling well for a while. While he had gone Defensive Stance plenty of times in the past, this was the first time Ret had been affected by telepathic manipulations, and while Nyssi meant well, knocking him out telepathically, it had screwed Ret up a little more than usual. Instead of rage and … Read more
It turned out, to everyone’s surprise but Psiksi’s, the info the Alsyr had given them was wrong. It was supposed to have been a simple job, clearing out a patch of Corruption inside an old, ruined Voidborn tower, but instead, it seemed that the Voidborn inside the tower was alive and well and was doing … Read more
“Bloody darkness, you and Nyssi haven’t been right since you got back.” Ret wasn’t sure why he was suddenly surrounded by Skyans. He had just finished his guard shift and was waiting for Kuta to finish up, when Kayel sat down next to him. But also Psiksi, Kaytee and Eksi all sat down next to … Read more
Something beeped. Relkir’s eyes flicked open. They yawned, stretched, then rolled over to one side, to the small table by the side of the bed. Relkir’s communicator was the source of the beep. Getting beeps in the middle of the night wasn’t that uncommon, Relkir was an important Rethan with a vital job, but it … Read more
