Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
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

Kuta couldn’t help but panic as they opened their eyes. They could not remember anything that had happened in the last 24 hours and they couldn’t feel their legs. Kuta was also in a lot of pain, but, being a Rethan, that didn’t bother them nearly as much as the lack of feeling. As Kuta’s … Read more
“So, uh, Retvik, can you actually drive?” Retvik frowned as he awkwardly sipped from a very tiny champagne glass. After their stupid adventure, the four of them were now sitting in an extra large jacuzzi, eating fancy food and drinking fancy drinks. The locals were very happy that the big scary monsters were no longer … Read more
Eksi sighed to himself as someone sat down next to him. He’d gone to the canteen to get some food and get away from all the medically telepath-y stuff he’d been doing over the last few hours to rest his brain for a bit, so he didn’t really appreciate this sudden company. However, as Eksi … Read more
A burst of flames erupted from Thassalin’s jaws as the colossal Thraki set fire to a very specific patch of forest, then circled above, watching for moment. Weirdly, as he had slowed down, the weird screaming noise from behind him had stopped. Thassalin had forgotten he had passengers on his back. “Come on, Tenuk, you’ve … Read more
For a mountain, Mount Helvede wasn’t very mountainous. Sure, it had a steep point, but the incline was relatively low, to the point that you could drive up parts of it with ease. In fact, that was kinda what had happened, since Kayel had been somewhat blindly just following the GPS and going where it … Read more
Tah was confused. To be fair, confusion was one of the more common emotions both for Tah and across the Space Between Universes overall, but still, this confusion bothered Tah. He was currently sitting on a bed that was way, way too large for him, watching as patients and medics wandered past. A couple of … Read more
Things had taken longer than expected, and the sudden arrival of night had forced them to slow down, and a well-hidden tree stump had forced them to stop completely. The 4×4 vehicle was fine, but Kayel was insistent that they take a break and camp for the evening. Not because he was tired, or couldn’t … Read more
“Alright, here are your health metres, here’s where the trail starts, you guys got a tracker on your GPS to lead you back here, have fun!” The team of Lanex and Temthan researchers had very quickly driven off, leaving Xeno Dessaron One somewhat perplexed. Sure, they had just been given a very fancy 4×4 vehicle … Read more
Elkay sighed as he got up and opened the door to his private quarters. The room only consisted of a desk, a bed that was meant for a being larger than Elkay and some storage space, but it was quiet and closed off and separate from everything else. The knock on the door wasn’t unexpected, … Read more
“You were not joking when you said you lived somewhere poor…” Kuta found themselves ducking under the doorway as they entered the Thantophor’s home. The place looked almost exactly like a typical one bedroom rented apartment for a single, low-wage Skyavok, because that was what it was. The only real thing that made this place … Read more
Xeno Dessaron One were supposed to be having a relaxing day before they set off into the treacherous jungles of Kolasi, but Retvik was struggling with that simple request. While Nyssi was sunbathing by the pool, Tenuk was getting a special treatment for his fur and Kayel was getting a lot of pampering and attention … Read more
Kolasi, despite its name referring to a place of fire and brimstone, was only really slightly better than a non-existent afterlife. It was an abandon-world, meaning that most of the jungle-laced planet was free from civilization, and the megafauna was allowed to run wild. That being said, there was a large tourist industry focused on … Read more
The Great Dessaron Battle Arena was the main form of entertainment for the twelve intelligent races of this small, cozy universe, where people would watch, either in person or on live streams, gladiators fight against each other, with real blood and injuries, but also none of the death. Everything was set up to placate the … Read more
