Adventures in the Space Between Universes
“Well that was hot.” “Definitely.” Kayel yawned and sat up, stretching out his arms. There were still specks of blood on him from his arena battle. He’d played the Big Bad, a vicious monster, his job being to stop a bunch of contestants from escaping a specially set up arena. Had any of the contestants … Read more
Normally, the Big Bad in the popular Thirteenth Night arena game show would be announced in advance, and there were several House Fighters who would regularly play as the big, scary monster that would go around pretending to kill contestants. Today though, the identity of the Big Bad had been kept a secret until all … Read more
While the Phantai main ranks were busy celebrating the demise of the leader of the Crystal Doom and the destruction of their main ship, things were much quieter on the top level of the Shimmering Blade, where Retvik had taken Litvir in order to talk privately. They quickly locked themselves in their private quarters, before … Read more
Retvik struggled to remain upright as Litvir wrapped his arms around him, holding Retvik a little too tightly and clearly sobbing, showing a lot of emotions that were out of place for a Rethan. Really, considering Retvik’s injuries, he was amazed he could even stand up, and Galyn, Itaviir and Vikalos had all offered to … Read more
Everything was cold and dark, but Retvik could feel something warm, drifting nearby. At first, he thought he was dead, but the sickening pain radiating across his body told him he was definitely still alive. There was definitely something jutting out of Retvik’s stomach, probably a piece of debris, he could feel blood leaking out … Read more
Elkay was pretty sure that he had somehow blown his cover and his disguise, but as he edged down a rather cramped hallway, none of the Voidborn minions had attempted to touch him. In fact, some of them had moved out of the way, allowing Elkay to pass. Despite the fact that Elkay had been … Read more
“Careful now, boys!” Elksia seemed way too chirpy considering what was going on. The Life Goddess ship “Yisini” had fastened itself to the side of the Diamond, the Voidborn mothership, and she and Elkay had just cut a large hole into the side of said mothership, allowing them entry into the dark depths below. All … Read more
The Life Goddess ship “Epani” silently slipped past two Voidborn vessels, before making its way towards the front of the vast, pyramid-shaped prismatic ship known as the Diamond, what was believed to be the headquarters and mothership of the Crystal Doom. They’d managed to pass the Diamond’s automated defences with ease, mostly because “Epani” had … Read more
“What the fuck was that?” Vikalos snarled as he tried to stifle the vomit in the back of his throat. Standing by his feet was Tah, the leader of the tiny team of Decay Lords that had recently joined the Thantir. “Sorry, my teleportation is pretty nauseating to organics!” Tah apologized. “But we had to … Read more
Vikalos couldn’t place the expression Galyn was pulling as he led him and Itaviir down to the lowest level of the Shimmering Blade, to a large, unused gathering hall. Ever since they had returned from their little mall trip, none of the Tattered Navigators had been acting quite right. Itaviir had been colder and grumpier … Read more
“You feeling well, dear?” Litvir had gone back to his shared personal quarters for a quick nap after fifteen hours on his feet, but he was surprised to see Retvik standing by the edge of the bed. “I thought you had work or something?” Litvir asked, shifting over so Retvik could lie down next to … Read more
The Thantir Three was a small ship, not really designed for long distance travel. However, it was perfect for training, not just for piloting but also gun aim as well. That was one of the reasons why Retvik had taken it out for a ride, alongside Tenuk, Phovos, Elksia and Eksi. The reason Retvik had … Read more
“Hey, Kuta.” “Hello, Arkay.” Kuta looked and sounded miserable, and Arkay completely understood why. There had been a lot of delays, and Kuta was still stuck in temporary housing and their insurance money still hadn’t come through, meaning Kuta hadn’t been able to go out and buy new belongings. Sure, Arkay had bought Kuta a … Read more
Retvik had been genuinely surprised when the nice nurse had told him he could go home, as long as he stayed at home and rested as much as he could. He thought he would have been stuck in that room, fastened to that bed, for at least a week, awkwardly waiting for the vast amounts … Read more
This observatory had once been publicly accessible to anyone on the Shimmering Blade, but after the Voidborn elite known as Krohniak had attached the ship, as a thank you for saving everyone, the observatory was now only accessible to the Thantir, and it had been converted into a safe space where the Decaylings (and occasionally … Read more
