Adventures in the Space Between Universes
“I heard that you pissed off Prime Minister Panos…” “Oh, did you?” Aesop was clearly in a bad mood and didn’t want to talk, especially while he was in the Back Room at the Castle at the Centre of the Universe, eating in silence. After Epani had learned that some of her deities were struggling … Read more
“I have a meeting with Epani in an hour, so this had better be important.” Aesop had been “requested” to speak in Parliament, in front of the Prime Minister of the Torr and many of the Torr elite. He’d appeared in these parliamentary summons in the past, but he’d never been under the spotlight. “This … Read more
Litvir wasn’t very good with maps, at least not for streets. While Litvir could navigate through space fine, roads confused Litvir. They would have to check every street name to make sure they picked the right one, and would overthink every direction. But thankfully, they had made it to their destination, a little shop on … Read more
“Hmm… That… that is doable… dangerous, difficult, but with some planning, doable…” Epani slowly stopped what she was doing, reading multiple books at once, then rubbed her eyes and the lure on her head. She had been reading one book by running her fingers across the letters, one book with each eye and a fourth … Read more
“You’ve perked up.” Normally, Nanik or Aster would come to the northern edge of the universe to relieve Litvir of their guard patrol duties, mostly because Litvir would routinely forget that they need to take breaks. Today though, Aesop had come to the top of the universe, because he had just been relieved from duty … Read more
“You’re not doing well, are you, Epani?” Epani tutted, suddenly distracted from her work. But as her eyes refocused, Epani realised she had been working for two days straight without rest. This distraction was a required one, courtesy of Syksis, the Goddess of Healing. “I am fine.” “Physically, you are fine. As far as I … Read more
Staton hesitated somewhat as he approached this little universe. He had always been told to stay away from universes, because they were dangerous. However, this universe was within Theocydes’s territories, and since Theocydes was now somewhat leading a Voidborn coalition in the area, it had been decided that the local nearby universes needed to be … Read more
“So, little ones, any updates?” Dalosisaar glanced across the room. Not all of the Twelve Anew were present today, and those who were, some of them seemed a little annoyed. And, oddly, they were willing to show that annoyance while the Allmaker was present. “I don’t have updates, just questions!” Syksis tutted. “Where the heck … Read more
“Hello? Aesop? You wanted to talk to me?” Litvir seemed rather uneasy when they received Aesop’s message to meet him at… well, Litvir wasn’t sure. They thought it was a cinema, but it was more like a dark room with very large screen and a bunch of sofas, with snacks everywhere. And while Aesop had … Read more
It was rare that Relkir would be home earlier than Gath, but Gath was spending time with their troops in the 1000th Legion lately, making arrangements so that Gath could take more time off work and so the Legion of Heroes could work without their presence. Today in particular had been set aside so Gath … Read more
“What is your problem, Kairos?” Kairos had requested to be left alone. He had locked himself inside his crystal palace at the north eastern corner of the universe after a disagreement with one of the lesser deities. But Epani was clearly ignoring that request and had bluntly let herself in. She was also currently larger … Read more
“So you want me to IGNORE a time anomaly?” It had taken the Twelve Anew a little too long to get the courage to have this meeting with both Epani and Kairos. Kairos had been aggressive for a while, and he clearly still was today, growling at the demands that the younger deities were asking … Read more
“You got any idea?” “No, none at all.” “Yeah, me neither.” Arkay was supposed to be resting, it was supposed to be his time off, but he needed help with something. Or, rather, an old friend needed help with something. Arkay still had contact with the universe that had kept him prisoner for two billion … Read more
“The ball…” Elkay, Aster and Epani all glanced at Litvir, who seemed way more concerned than normal. Being an overly protective Rethan at the best of times, Litvir was always a little concerned about things, but it was clear as day that this strange white ball was genuinely scaring Litvir. “It is back.” “Indeed.” “The … Read more
There was someone sitting on Psiksi’s desk. Not just anyone, but a shadowy being with blackened wings and faintly glowing red eyes. But while most beings would have been scared by such a creature, Skyavok like Psiksi weren’t that bothered. They liked shadows and they liked shadowy beings. Their old matron deity was a shadowy … Read more
