Chapter
The Book
A chilly breeze ran over the dormitory rooftop. Eva shivered. The early sunsets and low temperatures in mid September were nothing like Florida. She had purchased pants, but hadn't expected to need them until November or December at least. At this rate, Eva would need to go out and buy some long underwear. Or perhaps look into magical methods of keeping warm. Surely they existed. If not, her runes hadn't failed her yet. She'd just use the same runes that heated her shower water. In contrast to the…-

Chapter
Brakket Magical Academy
Classes at Brakket were far more interesting than any class at a non magical school. That was simply by virtue of most classes having magic flying around them. The teachers themselves weren't all that different. Class might be better if Eva had been more new to the whole magic scene. The school building itself was a boring affair. Eva felt sure it was built by regular people. None of the rooms even had the oddities that the dorm study rooms had. The only exception to this was the courtyard. The…-

The Meeting
"I don't see why this is necessary," Devon complained. He struggled tying his tie. He last wore a tie around the same time he last participated in a demonology circle. Probably further back than forty or fifty years. And that had been a clip on. "Zoe Baxter is a very precise woman. You don't want to look like a schlemiel." "I'm supposed to examine a possible dark artifact. Not looking to date some girl." "Well," Eva crossed her arms, "I don't want to be pitied as the poor kid who was mentored…-

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…-

Eva's bed was empty once again this morning. Ever since she disappeared for two days a few weeks ago, Eva spent the night someplace else about once a week. And she wouldn't say where. If Juliana had to guess, Eva ran around with her mentor going on fun adventures and bounty hunting. But the girl didn't trust Juliana. She avoided, dodged, deflected, or otherwise ignored any questions about herself. The times she did answer were either obvious lies or so vague they could describe anyone. Then…

Chapter
The Prison
A hard hand clamped itself around Eva's mouth. Her eyes snapped open. She reached for the vial of Arachne's blood hidden between the wall and her bed. Her hand froze half way there as her brain registered the eight red eyes staring at her. A slim finger was placed vertically over Arachne's lips. Eva glared at the spider-demon as she withdrew her hand from Eva's face. "Eva, I--" Eva slapped her own finger over Arachne's mouth. She pointed to the window, then upwards, then at her sleeping…-

The Seminar
The outdoor auditorium where most of the summer seminars were held had a nice atmosphere. Seats surrounded a small circular platform on a raised dais down in the center of the area. On the platform, a wall of cushions had been set up and a waist high pile of silver marbles lay at the other end. The auditorium was at the very edge of campus, somewhat near a small lake. An overgrowth of plants and trees spread out from the forest behind the platform. A single pointed mountain lay in the distance almost…-

The Rickenbacker
"Welcome to Brakket Magical Academy." Zoe Baxter looked over the students. She quickly spotted her candidates. Eva Spencer and Juliana Rivas looked already acquainted. Good. Zoe was a bit disappointed in the lack of Shalise's presence. She would have to make another visit to the girl's orphanage and impress upon her the importance of attending a proper magical school, namely Brakket. Jordan Anderson, one of Wayne's candidates, stood close to Eva. He had a small entourage around him all of whom seemed…-

The Airplane
"A cat carrier?" The security agent quirked an eyebrow. "It just has a few books in it," Eva said with a shrug. "I'm planning on coming back in a car and bringing a cat with me. I figured I could use it as a carry-on for the flight." Too much information? Did I offer an explanation too fast? Eva suppressed a nervous swallow. If she was caught, there would definitely be problems. When the officer didn't say anything, Eva prodded, "is there a problem with that?" "No, I suppose not. Run it through…-

Goodbyes
Eva stretched, rubbing the last vestiges of sleep from her eyes. The sky outside her window had the blue tint of pre-dawn morning. Eva smiled, glad she got up at a more reasonable time than the day before. She swung her legs out of bed and almost stepped on the sleeping Arachne. Her lithe weight would probably not even be noticed by the demon, and if it was, it sure wouldn't hurt her. Still, Eva carefully stepped over Arachne. After hopping in and out of the shower, Eva found Arachne had moved to…-
