Chapter
Uneasy Days
The clouds were unnatural. Yesterday had been bright and sunny. Not a cloud for miles around. Eva wasn't in the habit of watching the news, but she imagined the forecast would have been sunny for the next several days. The sheer level of overcast hanging over the school's campus--and only the school's campus--had several students skipping school. It was far too ominous for their tastes. Eva might have agreed had she not known the cause. While she hadn't specifically asked for clouds, it could only…-

Settling In
An earthquake tore through the prison. Potion vials rattled, dust shook free from the walls, one of the runes providing light failed. Eva snapped the treatise on necromancy shut with a barely restrained sigh. That's the fifth time in the last hour. She glanced over at Juliana, Shalise, and Devon, all of whom were glued to the window. "Any sign of them stopping for the night?" Eva asked. "I don't think I'll be able to sleep like this." "I think they're trying to kill each other." Juliana just shook…-

Women’s Ward
Zoe put on a light smile as she greeted her old teacher. "It is good to see you again, Genoa. Carlos." Juliana's father gave a light nod of his head. "I wish I could say the same." Genoa slid down her circular sunglasses to peer over the top. Zoe tried to maintain her smile. It felt strained and fake. She did not like the look she was getting. Understandable though it was. "A situation has arisen involving your daughter." "So I hear. Where is she?" "Juliana, along with her two…-

Motivations
"I understand that the dean's secretary was filling in during my absence, the topic--" "We discussed rituals again," Mr. Weston all but shouted out as he hopped to his feet. "At first I thought it was going to be some boring thing we already learned last year. Then she started getting into all the gritty details." He paused and glanced around the room with a raised eyebrow. "Or should I say gooey details?" Several snickers ran though several of the students--both male and female. More than a few…-

Marionette
Juliana walked through the streets of Brakket city. Despite being late September, the temperature was through the roof. Part of the problem might be the several pounds of metal she wore. She made air holes at strategic points to let it breathe a little; it didn't help all that much. What a horrible day to be out, Juliana thought as she took a long drink from a water bottle. The temperature was supposed to drop next week. Juliana had half a mind to go home and come out then. That wouldn't do. She was…-

Elysium: Augurs and Demons
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Not even impenetrable darkness indicative of a pitch black room. As expected. Searching for Nel Stirling had not produced any results over the past six months, today would be no different. If only she had the decency to leave behind a body. Annie could think of a thousand more useful things to do with her time. Ten thousand that she would rather be doing. She had started keeping a mental list. It wasn't like there was anything else to do. Even bringing a notebook to…-

Bullies
Eva spun on her heel and caught the rock out of the air. It was small and not pointed. That was a relief at least. Her fellow students weren't trying to kill her. It crumbled under the might of her claws. Too easy, far too easy. Probably had been designed to shatter on impact to create dust and a large mark on her back. Unbelievable. "A-are you alright?" "Fine," Eva ground out while giving a long, hard glare at the group of three students that stood where the rock had come from. She knew which…-

Aftermath
How disgusting. Elves. Loathsome beasts. They always found a way to disgust. Wallowing in their own filth as they served their human masters. Slaves without chains. Every elf read the works of Tolkien as they grew up. Since their fall, they dressed themselves up after the elves of Middle-earth. Mannered themselves as wise and nature oriented. An attempt at endearing themselves to humans. Catherine couldn't help but think it was mildly successful. The humans seemed to trust them…-

Granted Eyes
"Demon of strength?" Arachne let out a long laugh. "When I kill you, I think I will be taking your title." "Fool. Such arrogance will be your demise." Arachne laughed again. As if. The carnivean only had one tentacle of any significant length remaining. And that would soon be gone. It was disappointing, actually. Carniveans were supposed to be strong. Very strong. Sure, if it managed to wrap a tentacle around anything, that thing would break off--two of Arachne's legs and most of one arm were…-

Illusions
"There," Arachne said. Not that she needed to say anything. Eva could feel the flames from a block away. Particles of blood started vanishing from her control as they neared the inferno. "See anyone?" "They're still around." Arachne's long tongue darted out of her mouth to run across her lips. "I can almost taste them." "Don't get eager. If it looks like a trap, we're running." Eva focused on her blood sense. It wouldn't help if the demons had a trick like Ylva in sunlight, but it was the…-
