Zoe came out of between. Taking a step forward, Zoe heard the light slap of her shoes in a shallow puddle. Her eyes widened in horror and shock as she noticed the pool of red coating the surface of the floor. The Gate Room, as Eva called it, was the designated entryway for all arriving teleports. There weren't all that many people cleared to just show up inside the women's ward. At least none that would find the experience pleasant--Eva's wards weren't the kind one wanted to stumble across. It…-

"You're looking... well," Eva said. Sister Cross looked anything but. The last time Eva saw the nun, she was in casual clothes. But the time before that, she had been fighting Zagan. During that fight, she had got somewhat beat up. Torn clothes, broken arm, cuts and scrapes. Whatever had happened to her was apparently worse than fighting a legitimate devil. As she was now, Sister Cross looked worse than that fight. Her face had bruises aplenty and her clothes were little more than burlap rags.…

Eva threw herself to the ground. A near invisible blade of wind skimmed over the tips of her hair. That's fine, Eva lied to herself as the ends of her hair drifted to the ground around her, my hair was getting too long anyway. A second gust of wind curled between the ground and her body. Eva's eyes grew wide as she felt the air draw in on itself. She felt a moment of panic before being launched up into the air. The world spun. Sky turned to trees which turned to ground before snapping back to the…

"How exactly are these students being screened?" Without so much as glancing up from tapping away at her cellphone, Catherine shrugged. "That's up to your governor." "Anderson?" "That's the one." Eva leaned back in her chair, balancing it on two legs as she rested her feet on a neighboring seat. For a few moments, she just stared at the ceiling tiles. They weren't very interesting. It had never stood out much to Eva, but Brakket was dull. Aside from the Infinite Courtyard, there was very…

The year two-thousand. A bunch of people thought it was going to be the end of the world. Idiots, mostly. Some quit their jobs, packed their bags, and went on vacation. Entire life savings blown in a week. Some ran around screaming like chickens with their heads cut off. Others paraded around with signs hanging off their chest stating that the 'End is Nigh' or some other such nonsense. As if telling people about the apocalypse would stop the coming end. Then there were the profiteers. The ones who…

Returning to school just wasn't quite the same. It didn't feel right. So much had happened and so much was going to happen that sitting in class and practicing thaumaturgy just felt unimportant. Like being concerned over a mosquito bite while bleeding out from a missing arm. Eva leaned back in her chair and shut her eyes. She was supposed to be practicing heat manipulation. None of Isaac Calvin's directions actually made it to her conscious thoughts. The unending swirl and churn of her worries and…

"Sarah!" Wayne hammered his fist against the heavy oak door. "Sarah! Open the door!" He rattled the handle to no avail. It was locked. "Maybe no one is home," Serena said, arms clasped behind her head as she leaned against the wall. Zoe clung to the vampire's shirt, pressing her mask up against a curtained window near the two. Since rescuing Zoe from the thralls, the younger girl had stuck close to Serena. At first it had been mere holding hands. After about ten minutes of walking, Serena…

Walking through the streets of Lansing wasn't that bad. Because of the smog, Wayne had been forced to drive at extremely slow speeds. As long as he kept up a brisk pace, walking would likely end up being faster in the end anyway. There were a few drawbacks. Wayne considered himself far from the most athletic of people. Power walking the remaining mile or two to Sarah's house wasn't a huge issue, but he was starting to feel the strain in his legs. He had dropped his time dilation down several notches as…

The good news was that there were few cars on the freeway heading towards the city, leaving the freeway mostly clear of enemies. The bad news was that the outgoing lanes were bumper to bumper. The military had cleared away most of the ones near the wall--with a bulldozer, by the looks of things--but the rest were just blocking the road. They looked abandoned, but Wayne wasn't about to let his guard down. He kept one hand on his tome as he drove along. A constant trickle of magic left him ready for…

Zoe pinched the bridge of her nose. Wayne had to return soon with news. Between Devon muttering to himself and the constant whining of the demon infesting Shalise's body, Zoe was about ready to hog-tie the two of them and gag their mouths. Especially Shalise. Or Prax. Whoever it was. Keeping Shalise's body available was a must. The worst case scenario would be that entity deciding to return to that giant castle before Eva showed up. Zoe wasn't entirely certain that she could blame it if it…
