Adventures in the Space Between Universes
“So, what’s wrong?” Telin and Arkay had been sitting in silence for a while. Well, Telin had been sitting, Arkay had started off lying down and routinely sank into the sea of cushions. After a while, he’d sit up, readjust and sink again, but this time round, he just sat up straight and looked at … Read more
Retvik wasn’t sure how to feel as he was dragged into the private quarters of Lightblade. He hadn’t had much say in anything so far, and it seemed that Litvir and Lightblade’s psionic partner Soulblade had had some sort of telepathic conversation and had subtly suggested Lightblade just “go for it”. Whatever that meant. For … Read more
“I always forget just how large everything else is…” Retvik and Litvir both glanced at Arkay as they parked and exited their ship, stepping into the Shimmering Blade proper. Ready to greet them were three Beh’ens, each one serving each of the Great Blades. “Hello, Flamebearer and Souldrainer!” Nightblade, the number one underling of Voidblade, … Read more
“So, uh, how are we going to do this?” Arkay asked as he and his trio sat in their office, having been recently teleported to Deathven’s private sanctum and teleported home again with a new mission. “Because I don’t know these guys that well.” “I do not know…” Retvik grunted. “We cannot be too obvious. … Read more
“Hello again, Missing.” Today, Deathbringer seemed to be wearing clothes, but Souldrainer and Flamebearer seemed to be rather bare. Flamebearer in particular didn’t have his normal flames. That was unusual. “Hello, Overlord…” Deathbringer tutted. Their normal, vaguely annoyed attitude. “What stupid mission do you want us to go on this time?” “I shall explain in … Read more
“So, question, are you doing this for my sake, your sake or Deathven’s sake?” Veeyel tutted as he sorted out equipment. Normally, he’d just use his shadowy powers to do all things medical, but Arkay was immediately immune to those shadows, and the two of them would somewhat instinctively counteract each other. “Why are you … Read more
“That hurt…” Retvik looked down at his stomach, expecting blood and bits of stomach all over the place, but the only thing present was a dark grey scar in the shape of a typical stab wound. Another scar to add to his collection. Despite not even being 90 years old, Retvik was a rather scar-covered … Read more
The roar of anguish and pain failed to echo across the entire base, the sound waves being mostly absorbed by the lead-lined walls. However, the strange, flameless explosion that followed, that shook the base to its core, shattering deep foundations, collapsing pathways and damaging walls behind repair. The explosion also allowed a second roar, a … Read more
Chaos and slaughter had erupted inside this strange Voidborn base. An army of unknowns fighting confused Voidborns who had made the mistake of pissing off the wrong people. The strange Voidborn who had let everyone in was gone, replaced with a very large, rampaging monster who was literally tearing things in half with its teeth … Read more
“Anoixeseste!” The Shimmering Ruiners didn’t know what they were looking at. A rather large being, larger than the 4m tall golden, hollow and antlered suits of armour, was bashing on the main entrance to their base. Normally, the guards would have shot at the being, but it was clearly a Voidborn. An odd-looking Voidborn with … Read more
“Missing, I need you.” Retvik was half asleep, but Arkay and Litvir immediately snapped to attention. Arkay also summoned some wraps for the three of them, because they were all naked again. “I, uh, take it this is pretty damn serious, since Retvik isn’t even awake yet…” Arkay glanced at Retvik, who was struggling to … Read more
“Arkay, you are staring.” Everyone was sat at large, round tables, each table covered in food on a rotating plate in the middle, with two Trios per table. While Retvik and Litvir would have preferred sitting at a table with someone they already knew, like the Travellers, the Trio they were sat with were probably … Read more
“Oh look! You’ve teleported me here when I’m not completely naked for once! I guess we are making progress!” Deathven noted that Deathbringer was in their normal, somewhat snippy mood. “I mean, I’m still just wearing a loin cloth and stomach wrap, and my two boyfriends are as equally ill-dressed, but still, progress is progress!” … Read more
That familiar darkness, those floating candles, the large ornate throne and the table with the magical chalices on it, they were all back. Arkay, Litvir and Retvik were back in the dark pocket dimension that Deathven, the Overlord of Decay Lord society called home. “Hello, Missing.” “Oh, hello, again, Deathven!” Litvir smiled weakly. “How are-” … Read more
“You spoke to Sini, didn’t you?” Litvir had been avoiding everyone all day, hiding away, not talking to anyone. He had done his work in silence then immediately skulked off, dodging any and all interactions with others. Arkay had quickly noticed Litvir’s uneasiness, but hadn’t been able to do anything about it until his shift … Read more
