Eva coiled the muscles in her legs and jumped off from the ground. She soared through the air, free from the tethers of gravity for a scant few seconds. When gravity finally reasserted itself, Eva fell only a few inches. Her bare feet impacted the top of the sandstone wall. It was a very light impact--Eva had plenty of practice getting the jump just high enough--but as light as it was, it still caused some of the sandstone to crumble. One of the walls had partially collapsed from Arachne climbing over…-

Martina Tuner fought to keep a smile off her face as she looked out over the student body. A fight she came close to losing several times and she hadn't started speaking yet. Things couldn't have gone better if she had planned them out herself. The possibility of failure tempered her near overwhelming glee to more manageable levels. Barely. Her speech needed to be perfect. She could delay for a few days to write out a proper speech for the situation. Unfortunately, that would give ample…

"Professors Baxter, Kines, and Zagan?" "We're a lot larger this year, probably because of Professor Zagan." The three professors stood in the center of the dueling rings. Franklin Kines spoke to the students about learning combat and a new outline and schedule for the mage-knight club courtesy of Zagan. The majority of it was the same as last year, so Eva felt little need to pay attention. Instead, Eva cast her sight around in full, inspecting everyone she could. Irene was correct. Including…

Zoe Baxter snapped shut the book in her hands. It was all worthless. She had put a halt to her demonology studies--taking the terminology from Devon--to work on helping one of her new students. No matter how many books she read on the subjects of diseases, debilitations, and illness, none of them had any answers. She'd been up and down every book and hadn't even been able to come up with similar cases, let alone a cure. Zoe was starting to get worried that she would have to delve into far more…

Eva stopped at the staircase and stared. It is a good thing I asked Zoe to wait outside, she thought. The book showed no one other than herself and Arachne within the building. Clearly that was only partially true. Part of a person lay halfway up the staircase to the second floor. Two legs and part of a torso. Blood splattered around the walls and ceiling, though there was no sign of anything above his shoulders. All dried to the point where Eva could only vaguely tell it was there in the first…

Brakket had become polluted since this time the previous year. At least three demons freely walked the streets. Their stench wafted through the streets as a dead skunk on the side of the road might. It wasn't so much a smell as it was sense, but that was just how Arachne explained it. Still, the news worried Eva. There were apparently three demons running around where Eva was certain there had been only two. That was not including Arachne herself. There were traces of others. According to Arachne,…

Camping with her family was one of Juliana's favorite activities. All of it was such a drastic change from the asphalt streets, concrete buildings, and people. The fresh smell of the woods. The crisp, mid-May air. The crinkle of her tent in the cold air of wilderness mornings. The warmth of a blazing fire dancing in front of her. And, of course, her parents. She loved it all. Not that she hated being in a city. It was just the idea that she liked. The idea of wandering for miles without coming…

Things were going to Hell in a handbasket. Lynn Cross only wished the situation wasn’t so literal. Something went very wrong somewhere along the line. Royalty from Hell itself targeting the Elysium Order. Not just any part of the order, but Charon Chapter. The idea would have made Lynn laugh under other circumstances. Under less dire circumstances. Now the whole town had shown up to burn the order out-of-town like some sort of puritan witch hunt. Fools. The lot of them. The town was…

"Get out of our town!" "...more damage than..." "...cost us our livelihoods." Martina Turner stalked through the gathered crowd with a grin on her face. Of course, it was well hidden in the shadows of her hood. Plenty others in the crowd had hoods. She wouldn't be singled out because of it. Her entire attire changed simply to avoid being recognized. It was amazing how wearing a distinctive costume every day made people's gazes shift right over her when she changed to more normal clothing. Of…

Zoe Baxter had been feeling off-balance the entire day. There was a weight in her pocket unlike anything she'd felt before. It didn't hold back her movements or tear through the threads holding her pocket together. For all she knew, the weight was nothing but her imagination. Symbolic, most likely. Cursed metal, otherwise. When she first put the ring on in the presence of Ylva, it shrunk down and latched onto her finger. She nearly went into a panic. It took a lot of self-control not to pull out…
