Adventures in the Space Between Universes
The Thantir Two, despite the fact that it had two smaller ships docked on top of it, was slightly faster than Shield Six. Because of this, it had reached the small, floating island first, and it landed rather gracefully on the freshly resurfaced parking area outside the new Thantir base. There were a few ohs … Read more
Kayel sighed as he pushed uneaten food across his plate. He, Nyssi and Tenuk were alone in the all-you-can-eat buffet in the main hotel restaurant. It turned out that most Vrekans ate two massive meals a day, one at about 11am and another at around 10pm. Considering it was currently about 7pm, normal dinner time … Read more
“So is this a new Thantir Tradition now?” Itaviir asked as Vikalos dragged him, Galyn, Retvik, Litvir, Kaytee and the Thantir Eight (as they were calling themselves) into the large, cheap, fast food burger restaurant at the back of the mall. “Yep.” “You… know that, four hours ago, I treated you and Galyn to a … Read more
“I feel awful.” Kayel glanced up to see who was talking to him. One thing he had noticed about Lanex was that a lot of them sounded the same, and in the last few hours, he’d spoken to a lot of them. Although Thalsa Two was a Vrekan territory, because Kayel and his team had … Read more
Smouldering ash lined the ground, soaking into the slimy floor, as the crazed Rethan tore through monster after monster, ripping limbs from their bodies, tearing flesh out with his teeth, slamming their bodies with his armoured tail, throwing himself into the scattering horde. The Corruptiids were large beasts, larger than the Rethavok hell-bent on destroying … Read more
Retvik paced up and down in front of the cave mouth, occasionally pausing to glance at one of two things. Outside the cave were the smouldering remains of a Corruptiid that had attacked Retvik. They had caught each other unaware, but Retvik had swiftly killed the monster. It had struck first, but Retvik had swiftly … Read more
“Normally I quite like swimming, but I didn’t like that.” Kayel shook himself down as he climbed out of the water and into a strange, glistening cave. Everyone else had already swum through and sorted themselves out and they were now looking around, trying to work out what was going on. Nyssi was struggling to … Read more
Dariak sighed as he glanced around the empty shop, waiting for someone to come in. Like almost all the retail staff at this mall, Dariak was technically a Divine Guardian, he worked for the Polizonta Life Goddesses that owned the mall and the shops and franchises inside it. The only beings around here that weren’t … Read more
“That… is a lot of dead penguins…” “It’s only, like, twenty penguins.” Tenuk, Nyssi and Ilga all stared at Kayel. “What? It’s twenty penguins! It’s nature, they get eaten all the time!” Nyssi crossed her arms and tutted. “Normally the prey gets dragged away or eaten or whatever. Not just left and killed for no … Read more
“You know what? I’ve been a Phantai Decay Lord for like six year-strings, and this is my first time going to this space mall…” Kaytee’s statement was met with a multitude of grunts as the Thantir filed through the mall entrance, each of them given a wristband as they did so. “This mall has been … Read more
The tents were all set up, a small fire had been lit and dinner had been eaten. While Nyssi and Retvik were currently lying in their tents, Tenuk was sitting on the beach, watching the waves lap across the sand. He’d been mostly sitting on his own, but he quickly noticed that someone was approaching, … Read more
The only way to get to the Floppy Isles was by boat. By a small boat. Like many of the smaller islands of Thalsa Two, the Floppy Isles were technically in a restricted zone, and visitors were only allowed to set foot on the islands if they had a permit or a guide with them. … Read more
“Are you sure you want to leave?” Pretty much everyone stared at Telin as he asked that question. No one answered it at first though, not until everyone had either rolled their eyes or sighed. “Yes, Telin, we want to leave…” Retvik grunted. “We have wanted to leave for a while, and now we can … Read more
The wind was quite harsh as Xeno Dessaron One disembarked from the small shuttle. Thalsa Two wasn’t a particularly popular place to go outside of two particular species, Vrekans wanting to go on holiday and Lanex who wanted somewhere new to explore. Because of this, the large islands were nothing more than Vrekan tourist traps, … Read more
“Hm…” Koh wandered around the large, floating island, going over a long check list, crossing things off. The tiny team of Decay Lords had been working hard over the last week or so, renovating the floating island and its desolate, looted buildings, turning everything into… something definitely habitable. The battered, shattered villa had been rebuilt … Read more
