Adventures in the Space Between Universes
The Kentron was quiet today, but not unintentionally so. The High General had made sure that they had no meetings, no events, nothing important and related to work, because they had something big to celebrate. After months of being off work, the Keeper, the General of Heroes, was returning to the Kentron to visit, and … Read more
“Oh, you have been busy!” Gath peered around baby Retvik’s new bedroom. The last time they had stood in here, the room had been empty, and Gath was due to fly to Thresisa. Relkir had been home more than Gath had, they had left for Thresisa later and come home earlier, as Relkir was still … Read more
Being a heavily socialist society, Rethans had a lot of ready to use, ready to hire equipment when it came to babies. The idea was always that one uses baby equipment until their baby doesn’t need it any more, then one cleans and repairs the baby equipment and hands it back to the childcare legions, … Read more
Relkir would have been surprised that two black-armoured 10th Legion soldiers had approached them the second they had stepped into the arrivals section of the Phos Main Hub space port, but they expected this to happen. “Please, come with us, General.” The two soldiers swiftly led Relkir, who was still carrying their luggage, to a … Read more
With all the chaos that had gone on recently, Relkir had been struggling. Which was why Relkir was doing something to ground themselves. They were on a walk, playing their silly little game, wandering around the streets near their parents-by-partnership’s home, while Gath was spending time playing with (and taking many photos of) their brand … Read more
Gath was feeling ever so proud as they carried their baby up to the front door of their parents’ place. This was the first time baby Retvik had been allowed to leave the nursery, after the nurses there had checked them over and said they were healthy. Apparently they were very healthy and quite big … Read more
Litvir wasn’t supposed to be there. The first two nights, only one person was supposed to be with the baby, and that was their mum. Ever since baby Retvik had hatched, they had been gently held by Gath, and the two of them had been in a small room together. Gath was currently sleeping on … Read more
There were a lot of large, armoured beings gathered outside this tiny little room, but they were all transfixed buy the small plastic box, and they hardly noticed when yet another large, armoured being joined them. But none of them were important. Not to the small, round egg inside the plastic box. An egg that … Read more
The bed was a little small and cramped, but it wasn’t really meant for two people. Really, it wasn’t meant for one gigantic Rethan either, but since Gath was spending family time with their parents and their partner, Gath didn’t care one bit. Huddled up by Gath’s side was Relkir, who seemed to be sleeping … Read more
Relkir’s communicator was ringing. It was early morning, which was an odd time for it to be ringing. But as Relkir thought to themselves, it wouldn’t be too odd a time to ring if they were back home in Phos. Relkir was also an important person, so there was probably a good reason for this … Read more
Relkir felt oddly wobbly as Elkay pulled them and their kid through a shadow, and the three of them appeared underneath a familiar tree. In front of them was that adorable little orange-painted half-house, and waiting for them were three happy faces. Elkay stepped back a little bit, allowing the colossal Rethan to plod over … Read more
As Relkir’s eyes snapped open, the first thing they did was try to look around for their kid. They had seen the monstrous Thraki throw Litvir around like a ragdoll, and the sight of Relkir’s beloved daughter bleeding, clutching their arm and trying to get up and stand on a broken leg had driven Relkir … Read more
“I am so sorry.” “It is fine. You were not to-” “I am so, so sorry. “It is fine. You-” “I do not know how I can apologise further.” “It is-” “I failed you.” “Relkir, please stop.” “I-” “Relkir!” An uneasy silence crackled down the phone line. It took too long for anyone to start … Read more
“See, that was not too bad, was it?” Litvir glanced around awkwardly, not really paying attention to Gath’s words. There was a lot on Litvir’s mind, mostly the fact that they were supposed to be heading back to their patrols soon but they had been delayed on their flight with Gath and were probably going … Read more
Relkir should have been surprised to see a shadowy being in their office, sitting on their desk, but since their adopted child was a deity, surprise was less of a problem these days. Still, Relkir had just finished advising on a meeting between the General of Medical Affairs, the General of the 500th Legion and … Read more
