      by Tower Curator The surface of the liquid was so close. Juliana could see the light glinting off the surface. She stretched high, pulling herself up through the murky liquid with a long sweep of her arm. Her metal was gone, left back at the prison. All that she kept was around her arms. The two bracers barely made up enough to form a dagger or two. And Juliana was very seriously considering ditching that much. Her movements were slow and sluggish. Like she was swimming in honey. The water she had entered at the…

      Splatter

      Splatter Cover
      by Tower Curator Razor-edged talons sunk into the wooden wall next to Genoa's face. The partially collapsed building groaned, protesting the force, but otherwise stayed intact. Which was great. Genoa didn't much care for buildings collapsing on top of her. She had enough of that raiding unstable ruins for the guild. Though, at least she wasn't being actively attacked by hundreds upon hundreds of monsters in those ruins. Maybe there was a tomb guardian of some sort, but that usually capped out at one or two. The…

      Evacuation

      Evacuation Cover
      by Tower Curator Wayne kept his fireball steadily humming in front of the two of them. A warning that he could and would protect himself at any sign of hostility. She, in turn, had one arm linked around his like they were a couple. Her other arm kept Zoe pressed against her chest. Despite his growing tension, Serena was the picture of relaxation. She leaned her head against his arm, knowing yet uncaring of the flames just inches away. A show of power? Or stupidity. Either way, she hadn't attacked him yet. Wayne was…

      Status Reports

      Status Reports Cover
      by Tower Curator "Nothing." Eva nodded. It came easily. No big disappointment in Nel's words. She hadn't expected much from the ex-nun. "That's fine," Eva said. "I'd appreciate it if you kept trying, but you don't need to dedicate every moment of your time." "Of course I will!" Nel slammed her palms down on her marble altar. "I want that man dead as much as you. No! More than you." She pulled up the sleeve of her robe. The augur's arm was looking much better than it had back when Eva first woke up. A good half…

      Diablery

      Diablery Cover
      by Tower Curator 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…
    • Discussions and Waiting Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva watched as Zoe left with the body of Simon. Somehow, Eva was hoping that she wasn't about to return the body to the hospital. Its condition was far from pristine. Seeing it would probably cause a lot of grief if he had anyone that cared about him. Perhaps returning his ashes would be the best course of action. Brushing his hands together to get rid of chalk dust, Devon stood from the circle. "Everything is drawn correctly," he said. "Seems a sick kid won't do. At least, not one that sick." With a…

      Leakage

      Leakage Cover
      by Tower Curator Catherine's heels clicked in a steady rhythm as she walked down the empty hallway of Brakket Academy. She considered running. The quicker she made it home, the sooner she could join in on her clan's planned raid against those pathetic humans and elves. Well, they were all humans--probably--including her own team. But her team had chosen the demonic race, so their hearts were in the right place. As it was, she was already a full half hour late because of 'secretarial duties' that she had been…
    • Landlord’s Bad Day Cover
      by Tower Curator "Eva," Juliana called after the rushing girl, "wait up." The problem with armor, especially metal armor, was that it weighed a ton. Not a literal ton, but definitely more than a school backpack. Other students never carried even a fraction of the weight of Juliana's armor during their entire tenure at Brakket Academy. Being a physically fit person, it wasn't a big deal most of the time. Her mother's training had built up her muscles and a slow yet steady increase in the amount of metal she carried…

      New Arrivals

      New Arrivals Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva's forehead throbbed. Not horribly. She had suffered through worse headaches before. The ritual to share Sawyer's senses for one and anytime enigmas were around for another. And this current headache was already subsiding to unnoticeable levels. The only reason the headache was special at all was the cause. A dozen demons were making their way from the outskirts of town towards Brakket Academy. Altogether, they weren't so bad. It was just that they had all come into Eva's range at the same…

      Preparation

      Preparation Cover
      by Tower Curator "I don't see why you need me for this." Juliana's concentration collapsed. Along with it went the few particles of iron that she had managed to conjure up. She took a deep breath and let it out as a long sigh. "All that progress. Gone. Just like that." "Progress? You've been standing in one spot for the last hour doing nothing." "Didn't you see all the iron? I conjured that." "I saw nothing." "Then you weren't looking." Arachne glanced off to the side, looking back towards the…
