Zoe Experiments
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…-

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…-

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…-

Changes
Juliana groaned out. Fever heat had always bothered her. She hated the simultaneous inclination to both kick off her covers and gather them around her in a cushy pile. There was just no winning either way. The moment the covers were off, she'd be too cold. Gather them up and she'd be too hot. And someone had the brilliant idea to dump an extremely heavy, extremely hot blanket on top of her. Groaning again, Juliana reached out to shove the blanket off. The tips of her fingers found themselves…-

Distant Visions
Nel paced in front of the door that led out of Ylva's domain. The last time she left the domain, a series of bad things happened. Mostly to her. But this time was different. Right? Lady Ylva had threatened the Elysium Order, so they shouldn't come after her. Eva had her blood wards up around the entire prison, so no one should be able to teleport in and kidnap her. And if someone started unraveling the wards, Nel was going to sprint at full speed for Ylva's domain, sky cracking or not. Nel stopped…-

Course of Action
Eva tore open the doors to Ylva's domain and sprinted inside. Ylva was on her throne, her skeletal form looking impassive as always under the light shining from the storm clouds overhead. Her pose was as relaxed as it always was. With her fist curled beneath her chin, she slouched back in her throne. Four others sat around a small table set down at the base of her throne. Alicia and Nel sat at opposite ends of the table from one another with Wayne Lurcher in between the two. Wayne had a scowl on his…-

Spies
"You were noticed?" Clement started to shake his head, but paused after considering the question. "I wasn't noticed, but one of the demons was aware that he was being watched." "As long as the augur didn't spot you. The enchantments provided by the naughty nun," she said with some amount of disdain in her voice, "won't work if they know where to look." "I know," Clement said for what had to be the tenth time. Just because he couldn't use magic himself didn't mean he couldn't understand simple…-

Shadows
Eva stalked through the halls of Brakket Academy, trying to ignore the vampire following after her. He was just far enough away for it to be conceivable that he had his own business in this particular direction. That could be possible. In some twisted alternate reality, it might even be true. However, in her world, it wasn't something Eva was willing to believe. Some might call her paranoid. Those people would probably be people she had never really spoken with. People who didn't know her very…-

Book Nine Epilogue
"Lucy?" Eva called out as she crept into the dormitory room assigned to the demon in question. Unlike the student demons---who were all housed in the Rickenbacker---Lucy's assigned room was over in the Gillet. Eva honestly didn't think that she had ever been inside. It was eerie. She was so used to everything being where it was in the Rickenbacker that walking inside its identical twin sent shivers down her spine. Everything was mirrored. Instead of turning left at the top of the stairs, she had to turn…-

Splat
Zoe sat at her computer, scrolling over her image viewer. Catherine had gone over the entire ritual circle with her cellphone. Upon asking, she had emailed all the pictures to Zoe. She now had fairly high-resolution pictures displayed on the screen. A few were large overviews from higher up showing the entire circle from various angles. Others were much smaller segments to enhance the detail and make them easier to see. Rituals... she knew about them. Could even perform a few herself. A few weeks of her…-
