Preparations
Juliana took in a deep breath of the cool November air and let it back out as a long sigh. The days were getting colder. Not quite cold enough to need a heavy coat, especially not while the sun was still up, but a light jacket wasn't cutting it anymore. Winter was coming late this year, but it was still coming. Soon enough, Juliana would be spending every weekend walking through shoulder-high snow, uphill both ways. After a brief smirk at her own joke, Juliana sighed again. Just when she had been…-

Drawing Straws
Eva reached into the large leathery bag. By a strange happenstance, she was the first to choose a marble. The first school to leave the ready area had gone to the far left, the second had gone to the far right. Third and fourth went to the left and right leaving Brakket right in the center. Right in front of the marble bag. The opening was right at waist height. Despite being able to easily see inside, Eva couldn't actually see anything. Some darkness spell was keeping everything below the lip of the…-

Obelisk
Catherine snapped a quick picture of the ritual circle Devon had devised to close the portals. It could be handy in the future given her other plans. For the moment, it had served its purpose. Magic now spent, the faint glow dimmed and was extinguished, plunging the entrance to Brakket Academy in the dark of the night. As it should be. Her phone's clock and the light of the sky now matched without the portals flooding daylight everywhere. She scanned the dark, starry sky---cleared of any clouds by the…-

Elysium Reordered
Nel Stirling, formerly of the Elysium Order, augur to the Charon Chapter, stood in a position that she had never thought she would occupy. She sat at the head table in the Elysium Grand Cathedral. Not the Salem Cathedral. Not any of their other training centers. The Grand Cathedral. To the Elysium Order, there was no place more central to their power. It was within this building that the leaders resided. Within this building was the vault containing a vial of every augur's blood, ready to be given to…-

Theory: Rituals
"How do rituals work with how humans process magic?" Zoe Baxter stopped her lecture on foci and glanced over at Benjamin Yeets. The sleepy eyed boy flinched away as Zoe's eyes settled on him. She tried to avoid frowning. "Excellent question, Mr. Yeets. Don't be afraid to ask a question if there is something you think I can explain. There are no stupid questions." A lie to be sure. Zoe had been asked her fair share of stupid questions in her five years of teaching. An atmosphere of fear was not…-

Zoe Baxter
Eva crept closer just as the sun dipped below the horizon. The only lights on were the front living room and the basement. That didn't bode well. The basement light was never used unless daddy was entertaining a guest. None of the guests were ever good news. Eva hopped over the waist-high old-fashioned iron fence and walked to the back door. A peek through the back door window showed an empty dining room. Eva took a quick glance around before stepping into the house. Sounds of laughter and the…-

Shalise Ward
Zoe Baxter stalked down the halls. A wet young girl skipped along at her heels. Zoe finally managed to drag the girl out of the hot tubs. She made a beeline for the rocky pools the moment the tour stopped by. She jumped in without even removing her clothes. Now she happily skipped along with a towel around her, drawing several odd stares from passing students. She was oblivious to it all. Zoe stopped outside a specific door on the third floor and knocked. Conversation on the other side of…-

Halloween Streets
"Terrible night, isn't it?" "Is this an attempt at small talk?" The man grumbled something under his breath. Zoe took her eyes off searching the streets and glanced at him. Wayne's eyes searched the tops of buildings as they walked down the deserted street. He, like her, was fully dressed in his usual black suit. He held a large tome open in one hand as if he was in the middle of reading it. He wasn't, of course. Zoe had never understood why he used a tome as a focus. Their storage capacity…-

The Bull
Her hug was only stiffly returned. She pulled away from the target of her embrace and glanced over her friend. Shalise took one look at Eva and her stomach sank. "Y-your eyes... that isn't from when you saved me, is it?" Eva just tilted her head to the side in a confused look. She leaned slightly against Juliana's desk. "No. Why would you think that? I was sitting around on the floor holding you for several minutes afterwards." That must have been a stupid question, Shalise thought even as she…-
