Adventures in the Space Between Universes
“How are you feeling, Litvir?” Aster asked as he floated outside the hospital window. “I am fine!” Litvir smiled. “I am a deity, of course I am fine!” “You were, according to Elkay, hit by a fifty calibre bullet.” Litvir shrugged. They were leaning on the window sill, looking for the ship they had briefly … Read more
As Rethavok were prone to going into a feral defensive rage over their threatened kids, as Rethan society began to grow, most Rethans started raising their kids in large nurseries, in order to better protect their babies and also not become adrenaline-fuelled monsters at the sight of their kids being accidentally hurt, especially as some … Read more
“Hello, Kyr Rethais…” The High General was busy looking out of the gigantic window of the Grand Hall, overlooking their almost perfect city. Rethais didn’t have any work to do, but they did have one last meeting, a social one, before they planned to head home. The voice behind them was expected but oddly timid. … Read more
“Miisa! Hi! Hi hi hi!” Miisa felt very anxious standing outside a cafe called Twenty Below. They were wearing nice armour, holding several forms and a small visitors’ card twisted from a lanyard around Miisa’s neck. Approaching them was Litvir, a literal deity, but also literally a very small child, despite looking like a tall, … Read more
“Good morning, Litvir. Please, sit down.” Litvir had been somewhat anxious about this meeting for at least a week. After some vacation time, mostly spent with their adoptive parents, Litvir was now ready to be inducted into a Legion. However, unlike most freshly graduated young Rethans, Litvir’s choice of what Legion to join had mostly … Read more
There were shards of silver and large drops of blood everywhere. A Voidborn had decided to try and break in right at the bottom of the universe, catching Aster completely off guard. Of course, Aster tried to fight back, but this particular Voidborn was both very large and hit very hard. After a rather nasty … Read more
“How are things, Elkay?” Elkay smiled, then glanced at who was talking to him. Dalosisaar was standing by his side, splitting his attention between Elkay and the members of the Twelve Anew who were busy painting one of the walls of the Library Near The Centre Of the Universe. Better name pending. Although Elkay did … Read more
Elkay was mostly minding his own business, doing little tasks around the Great Library Near the Centre of the Universe. Wasn’t anything special, it was mostly putting back books that had been misplaced. Elkay liked this little job because, unlike most of his staff, Elkay knew where pretty much every book was supposed to go. … Read more
“Dalosisaar, are you busy right now?” The might white and gold Thraki glanced up from their huge desk, one that had been customised to match Dalosisaar’s less upright shape. “Not in particular. Is something wrong, Aster?” Aster sighed, then entered Dalosisaar’s office, closing the door behind him. “Seems like something is every wrong, Aster. Come … Read more
“Hey, Litvir, how are you? We haven’t spoken much lately.” The metal hatch at the top of the universe was mostly there to get rid of things, mostly bits of dead Voidborn and occasionally live Voidborns as well. But the void had been very quiet lately. No break-ins, no Voidborns, no bits of Corruption, nothing. … Read more
“Hello, kid, what are you doing up?” Litvir inched downstairs, towards where Gath was standing in the kitchen. “I… I heard you get up. It is very late. You do not normally get out of bed at all.” Gath grunted. They seemed to be in a little bit of pain. There was a glass of … Read more
Gath never thought they would have ever said this, but they had ordered way too much pizza. Normally Relkir made pizza, kneading their own dough, making their own sauce and picking out toppings, but the last few days, in the evenings, Gath and Relkir were celebrating with their nearly-adopted kid Litvir, so they got takeaway … Read more
Litvir stared at the piece of fancy paper they were holding. It was more of a scroll, but Litvir appreciated how the paper felt. For a moment, Litvir wondered if the piece of paper was as old as Litvir was. About two hours ago, the graduation of Litvir’s year had finished. Every single young Rethan … Read more
Litvir read the sheet of paper one last time, double-checking their work. Everything looked correct, at least to them. All the questions had been answers, Litvir had shown all their workings out, and they had remembered to sign their name at the top of each page. Once Litvir was sure they were done, they put … Read more
Litvir felt better now that they were outside Kyr Gath’s home. Since part of the Junior Stratos base where Litvir lived had caught fire, in order to repair things more quickly, all Rethan kids were sent back home to their parents and guardians until the repairs were done. Apparently it would only be for a … Read more
