Adventures in the Space Between Universes
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
“Elkay! Elkay! Need to speak to you right now!” Elkay should have been annoyed at one of his fellow Twelve Anew interrupting his private times, doubly so since he’d informed them all that he was taking most of the weekend off, but, firstly, he was used to it, and, secondly the sheer panic in Kohra’s … Read more
“Phiva! I am so glad you could join me!” Elkay was in a very bouncy mood as a dark red Ksithan wearing black trousers and a black hoodie and carrying a large, dusty satchel reached the main entrance of the Great Library near the centre of the universe. To the point that he nearly tripped … Read more
“So you didn’t see anything?” Kohra asked as he puffed up his fur in a bid to protect himself from the cold. Litvir shook their head, and shuddered slightly. Normally, they had no problem with the depths of space, but Litvir felt uneasy today. “Uh, no, not on… normal light. In the, uh, infrared light, … Read more
“What do you want?” Kairos didn’t answer. He was working. “What is your problem?” Still no answer. “Kairos, I am speaking to you.” Kairos grunted, then glanced up. Standing over him was Epani, who had intruded his personal space. His last personal space. However Epani had a cohort today. The little formerly exiled Lanex who, … Read more
“Ugh. We’re doing this shit again…” Valksia and Maresia glanced at Syksis, not wanting to agree with what Syksis had just said but doing so anyway. “Feels like when I was a kid and my parents used to argue…” Aster muttered. “Would happen just as frequently as well.” “Is that why you’re the god of … Read more
It would have been clear as day to everyone who walked past Litvir that Litvir was insanely nervous, had Litvir not been making themselves telepathically invisible to everyone but their travel companion. Miisa had been trying to keep Litvir calm as they sat on the bus to the small farming village of Trofi, but perhaps … Read more
“Hello, Litvir!” “Hello, Miisa…” Normally, Litvir would be much more enthusiastic about their regular cookie meet-ups with their forever-friend Miisa, but clearly they weren’t doing too well. Miisa noticed this immediately and decided to be blunt and ask what was wrong. “You are not right today.” Litvir inspected Miisa somewhat before answering, then wished they … Read more
“Has he been hanging around menacingly the whole time?” Aster was a regular visitor to the Library Near the Centre of the Universe, as he would regularly use its sources to study up for any complicated meetings and tasks he had to do. He’d also occasionally ask Elkay questions, since, most of the time, Elkay … Read more
