Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Tahnahos sipped his mug of soup as he wandered down the main hallway, all the way down into the navigation chamber. Technically it was a cockpit, but his boss seemed to hate that word, so it was the navigation room. The clear plastic doors immediately slid open so Tahnahos could pass, letting him into the … Read more
“Hey…” The voice in the dark surprised Tahnahos. He had been sitting in the cockpit, minding his own business, keeping an eye on the ship and its maintenance while everyone else was asleep. Kinisis had demanded that her Guardians take her to a specific Life Oasis on the very edge of the new Phoviversal Void, … Read more
Rethais sighed as he climbed out of bed and wearily made his way to the bathroom. He sighed some more as he relieved himself then washed his hands and face, then continued to sigh as he wandered back into the bedroom, staring at the empty bed. Lysar was already awake, up and about, he could … Read more
Kairos sighed as he gazed into the abyss, watching as clouds of cosmic dust drifted by, as glimmering lights faded in and out of existence. The Whenvern was perched on the very edge the observatory he had built into his new home, where he could silently ponder existence all on his own. Things hadn’t quite … Read more
“I need you at the Palace, right now.” Rethais took a deep breath, a vague attempt to contain the anger that was boiling up inside him. He was only three hours into the first day off he’d had all month, he was just about to sit down and have a nice meal with the family, … Read more
Seimeni tutted as she wandered around the ship, looking for Retvik. Ever since they had sent the new Decayling on that test run, it seemed that Retvik had been avoiding her. Whether he was doing it on purpose or he was just lost on the massive ship, Seimeni wasn’t sure, but she needed to find … Read more
Floating islands in the void were pretty common, often tied together by errant strips of gravity, strong enough for beings to stand on them. This chain of islands was no different, but it was all weirdly warm, thanks to a small molten core just beneath the main island. The warmth meant that the icy caps … Read more
Asteroids weren’t at all uncommon across the void, but there was something particularly curious about this hunk of rock, floating mindlessly on its own. It wasn’t even the fact that this rock had an atmosphere, it was that there seemed to be something living on it. The rock itself was mostly nothing but grey. It … Read more
Ever since the meeting with Kinisis, where everyone had managed to get a few questions answered, things had mostly calmed down. More than that, everyone had very quickly warmed up to each other, no longer that bothered about them all being different. The differences were only on the surface, and everyone was being friendlier than … Read more
“Good day, Flamebearer.” It was a rare feeling for Retvik to seem so small and insignificant. The chair and desk he was sitting at were perfectly normal in size. The desk and chair in front of him were insanely huge. To fit a being that was at least triple Retvik’s size. “Uh… good day, ser…” … Read more
“Hey, baby, you alright?” Retvik sat up, rubbing his eyes, trying to work out where he was and who was talking to him. It took him far too long to realise that he was safe in his own bed, with his new friend lying next to him. “Seimeni…” Retvik muttered under his breath. “Sorry, did … Read more
The twelve beings all sat in a circle, wondering what was going on. Kinisis had said she wanted to talk, and there they were, waiting for her. All around them were soft cushions, bowls of food and glasses of drinks, to keep them all occupied until the Mistress arrived. They all knew she was coming … Read more
“Hai!” Estee seemed not at all bothered that the High General of the Rethavok was standing in front of her, blocking the light from her work. Sure, her world had been turned upside down and destroyed, pretty much literally, but she had so much more time to work on her art now. “Hello there, little … Read more
Lysar tutted as she flicked through a glossy magazine. She never really understood who read these rather unsavoury tabloids, normally written by gossiping Skyavok or Cassian Temthans, but there were always tons of them in waiting rooms across Rethan territories. This waiting room was particularly quiet, but that was because it was late in the … Read more
“Alright, so let me get this straight. You want to create a pan-universal union of mortal races, where every race has their own specific job and duty?” Kenon nodded, perched on his throne, going through a series of notes. In the last few days, the Rethavok leadership had been visited by a myriad of races, … Read more
