Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Kuta rubbed their head, then turned their attention to a bowl of sweet potato soup that had been set out for them. There were a lot of emotions going through Kuta’s poor, battered brain right now, but there were three emotions that stood out: guilt, hunger and horniness. The first was due to a horrible, … Read more
Retvik should have been celebrating, but he was currently pacing up and down the living room, stressed out of his mind. News was beginning to spread about some sort of strange “mind bomb” at a secret Torr lab that had left a lot of people dead. A secret Torr lab that his poten-partner Kuta had … Read more
“Prime Minister Panolionos.” “High General Rethais.” Panolionos, Panos for short, had been the leader of the Torr for a good two decades now. Yes, he was an elected leader, technically, but not by a popular vote like most other races. The Torr heavily segmented their territories into specific states, each state was divided into districts, … Read more
Normally, during such an obvious break-in, the Golden Guard security service would have already mowed down the intruder, but all 30 guards stationed at this particular warehouse, an experimental lab for the Aurai Protectorum, a powerful paramilitary and para-governmental corporation, were all frozen in their tracks, unable to move. Worse, their communications had been cut … Read more
“That is a lot of fluffy kitties…” Elkay gave Kuta a funny look as the Shadow and the Spiritdrainer slipped through the darkness, pulling themselves through shadows as they made their way across what looked like a basic warehouse district in Sec-404, in the northern territories of Torr 9-6. They came to a half outside … Read more
The crowds were going insane as the two gladiators entered the arena. On the left, Timik Lilac-Crown, the Great Blade, lifted his great sword, Crownbreaker, into the air, greeting the audience with his signature pearly white smile. On the right, Retvik Rethianos, the Lightbearer, remained somewhat silent as he raised his shield but did little … Read more
“I am not sure I fully understood what you just said…” Litvir rubbed his eyes as he went through a list of things with Teekay, Elkay, Eksi and Elksia. “You… want me to spend the hour before the ceremony drinking alcohol?” Teekay and Eksi nodded enthusiastically. Elkay nodded as well but without nearly as much … Read more
Really, the day had been a bit of a blur for Kuta. So much had happened. A demotion. A promotion. A mission brief. A change of armour. A layer of paint and varnish. A trip to the space port. A flight. A lot of things. Kuta was now sitting in an empty hotel room in … Read more
“I hate to bother you, Retvik, but can you come with me for a bit?” It was about midnight, Retvik wasn’t really sure, but that familiar thump as Kuta shadowjumped into his bedroom and hit the deck had woken him up. “Are you alright, Kuta? Retvik immediately asked as he threw his blanket off himself. … Read more
“How much is your rent?” Kayel had admittedly forgotten that he’d let the God of Decay stay in his apartment. But to be fair, Arkay had been the perfect room mate. Apart from the pillow and the light blanket on the sofa, one wouldn’t have known Arkay was there. He spent most of his time … Read more
Kuta was not at all surprised when, the moment they reappeared back in their apartment after a nice evening with their poten-partner and their friends, that they got a phone call. They had planned to take off their armour, have a quick shower and go to bed, but no, work was calling. Kuta knew who … Read more
“Thank the Light, I am so glad to be-” Retvik suddenly paused as he realized that Kuta had completely passed out and collapsed on the floor in front of him. Kuta passing out from long distance shadowjumps was somewhat common, but the way Kuta hit the deck was somewhat concerning, doubly so since Kuta was … Read more
“So why did you accompany us, Tah?” Tah shrugged as he followed Retvik around the mall, occasionally teleporting forward to catch up. “Why did you insist that Litvir not come on this trip?” That was a good question. Retvik wasn’t sure if he could answer it right away. Not because Tah was a bad person … Read more
Thassalin had been brooding for a while, licking his wounds, mostly his pride. After a fight with the Dragon God of Time, Thassalin had shrunk down and disappeared into the undergrowth, only to slither back to his little mountain home and hide away, fearing vengeance. It turned out, Thassalin wasn’t as strong as he thought … Read more
“Hello, sibling. May I join you?” Retvik sighed but quickly relented, shifting across the bench so that Rethais could sit down. They had been sitting on their own, staring out of a nearby window, looking down at the streets of the city of Phos. It was a very large, pretty and square city, with wide … Read more
