Adventures in the Space Between Universes
This mountain was ancient. So ancient that it had eroded and flattened over the years, into a plateau. Yet somehow, while the top eroded, the three tectonic plates underneath continued to push the mountain up, and it was the highest peak on the planet. Of course, the Thraki had built a temple there. That was … Read more
“Come on, dear!” Relkir grinned as they grabbed Litvir by the hand. “Come on, let us have daddy-daughter time and get ice cream!” Litvir wasn’t expecting Relkir to immediately grab them, so they stopped and stayed in place. Relkir seemed to predict that, then tried again. Litvir relented a little but didn’t move too much. … Read more
“Was it you who requested that name?” Leviks four eyes flicked open as he looked up to see who was talking to him. He had been sitting in silence at the newly opened Monument of Fallen Heroes at the Great Arenas, in front of a particular statue. While the person honoured by the statue was … Read more
“Lady Epani, are you busy right now? Oh… Oh no…” Elkay didn’t really like going to Epani for questions, but there was a question burning in his head right now and Epani was the only person who could answer it. Actually, maybe Ksini could have answered it too but… The god of knowledge skidded to … Read more
Litvir raced up to the top of the universe, as they had been told that a “metal meanie” was sitting on the exit hatch, apparently knocking on it and trying to get in. But as soon as they got into telepathic detection range, Litvir swiftly calmed down and informed Nanik that the Voidborn present wasn’t … 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
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
“You fixed things up pretty quickly.” Aesop yawned, then waved at Aster as he appeared at the entrance to what was planned to be Elkay’s private book club room, but was now just a room full of sofas and tables, all empty. Literally a few rooms over, a deity had died, having thrown several other … Read more
Things had finally settled down, but Litvir’s feelings were all over the place. So Litvir did what they always did and went to the hatch at the top of the universe, in order to calm themselves down a little. Sure, they knew what that purple dot was now, but everything else had been very worrying. … Read more
“So much for my book club…” The Shadow was clearly annoyed. Anyone could tell just by looking, as shadowy tendrils were floating on his back. Elkay was normally a very calm person, so the fact that his elemental affinity was showing meant he was feeling defensive. “Is that what you were doing here?” Kayel asked … Read more
Dalosisaar may have been trying to keep his calm as he has ordered his fellow deities around, but now that the important work had been mostly done, now that he had gathered the Twelve Anew in one place, the cracks were showing. Every mention of his name caused a sigh, every mention of Kairos’s name … 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
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
