Adventures in the Space Between Universes
The blade cut deep. Deeper and deeper. Down into flesh and muscle. Deeper still. Into eyes and nostrils. Through softened, diseased bone. And still deeper. Into vital organs. Through a sickened mind. The rage-fuelled stabs continued, seemingly without end. The owner of the blackened, holy blade had no real idea what was going on. All … Read more
“I have so many questions…” Kayel muttered to himself as they reached their target. Normally universes were surrounded with a black, inky substance known as Vastskin, that kept the universe in and the void out. But this universe’s Vastskin was solid and diamond-coloured. “Why have you not been asking them then?” Elkay-En asked. “Because I … Read more
“Are you feeling better now?” Litvir asked as Elkay exited a small, white villa. “Yes, but I do not know how being stabbed in the stomach fixed whatever was wrong with me…” Elkay grunted, then stretched his arms and started walking, towards the edge of the Pink Paradise. Both his telepathy and Litvir’s telepathy were … Read more
“So… What do you think?” Ret and Kuta glanced at each other, then shrugged. “You want us to spend a week with Letharus, helping him run the Shield and Stave pub, while you take Vick to the mall at the edge of the Goldtorn Remains so you can meet the original Dessaron?” Ret asked. “Basically, … Read more
Arkay groaned as he rolled over in bed, wiping a little too much saliva from his mouth. Despite having slept, Arkay was still tired. And achy. And nauseous. And he had stomach ache. Basically, Arkay felt absolutely awful, and he really didn’t want to get up. Checking the clock though, Arkay quickly realised he had … Read more
Shield Six was an utterly ancient ship, which meant it needed somewhat regular maintenance. But now the Thantir was a large sect that worked in all things anti-Corruption, Tah finally had the time to go around and properly fix things up, doubly so since Shield Six didn’t really go out much any more. And today, … Read more
Phovos was tending to the trees around Savepoint, mostly just pruning dead branches and sweeping up dead leaves, moving them into piles to be made into fertiliser. She was quite happy with her work and duties, which had changed over time, and now Phovos was mostly in charge of making Savepoint look nice. Normally, Phovos … Read more
“So you want to get married?” Itaviir was clearly confused. He had been sitting in the canteen, beer in one hand, chunk of meat on a bone in the other, eating the standard Beh’en meal of meat and potatoes, when Vikalos had come along, sat down next to him and, oddly, not said anything. “I… … Read more
“Kyr Teekay, are you busy?” “I’ve literally got my head stuck in an engine, I’m a tad busy!” “Oh. Sorry.” Teekay tutted to himself, then pulled himself out of the engine. There was a piece of Voidborn stuck in it, and this seemed to be a really common occurrence that Teekay was normally rather good … Read more
“Hello, dear.” “Hello, Kuta.” Kuta had clearly finished work early. Their duties were normally rather stressful and regularly Kuta went over their normal shift time. Not because Kuta was overworked, but because they enjoyed their work, they felt like they were genuinely helping others and making sure people were free from the mind control and … Read more
“What is wrong, deary?” Ret was clearly in a bad mood, and although he had tried to hide his bad mood, it was also clear that someone had noticed. Of course people had noticed, half the Thantir had some form of telepathy. But Ret was confused by who had approached him. “Hello, Kyr Litvir… Why … Read more
“You alright, mate?” Tanos looked up from his communicator and his large ice cream. He’d been sitting on this bench at the Pink Paradise for about ten minutes, well aware that he’d be sitting there for a while. Luckily, Kayel was on hand to give him some company. “Yeah, I’m alright. Kinda sad that Elkay-En … Read more
Deathbringer: Hey, Elksia, how are things? Silverspear: Oh hi! Silverspear: I uh Silverspear: Things are alright. Silverspear: I declined leadership for the northern border lords. Silverspear: Way too much work. Silverspear: But also, it would have made me too powerful and taken me away from my sub-sect and my troops, so I wasn’t a fan. … Read more
“You seem happier!” “That is because I am happier!” Elkay-En was waiting for Tanos, Fengar and the Vohra to finish work, so he could play bricky toys with them. He had wanted to chill out with Akah as well, but Akah was currently out on a quick job, so Elkay-En was content to just chill … Read more
Kayel had heard those heavy footsteps coming, but he hadn’t expected them to come all the way over, and he definitely hadn’t expected a tap on the shoulder. “Oh, Ret! Kuta! Hiya, what’s up?” Kuta shrugged, but Ret was holding his communicator and showing it vaguely in Kayel’s direction. “We missed your birthday again.” “What… … Read more
