Tentacles!

by Tower Curator — The red light flickered out. Garbed in white, the boy from Isomer unleashed his spell. Five minutes of doing nothing but pouring magic into his wand manifested itself as a field of ice. It spread around him, flash freezing everything in a small bubble of space. Plants and insects alike died in droves. Even tiny drops of water in the air crystallized and fell to the ground in an explosion of snow. Standing next to his fellow red marble holder, the other boy should have been caught within the ice as…

Snow Globe

by Tower Curator — Snow had finally fallen on Brakket Academy this year. Halfway through December, but it finally happened. Eva trudged through the Infinite Courtyard, spreading a path of heat along the ground in front of her. It managed to melt the snow off. Unfortunately, the ground wasn't quite as hard as Eva thought it should be after a snowfall. Mud and grime stuck between her toes, made all the worse from the melted snow. Really, for as much as she hated snow, walking on it might have been better in the end. At…

Shadows

by Tower Curator — 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…

Reformation

by Tower Curator — Zoe sighed as she walked down the streets of Brakket. Eva insisted that nobody walk around alone. Which, honestly, was not poor advice at the moment. However, she needed time to think. Teleporting straight to Genoa's house wouldn't give her enough time. Or any time, really. Teleporting was near instant. Barring any sudden wards popping up, teleporting would be a perfectly viable escape from any dangerous situation. And she was keeping careful watch for any sign of a ward. A cold wind picked up,…

Pyramid

by Tower Curator — "And there goes group indigo." "A shame," Zoe said with a shake of her head. "They looked like they were doing so well." "When the tail swiped the... elf into the tree, I think the other two lost their nerves." "Indeed. Dragonkin are not to be taken lightly. Their scales can take a beating that even the finest suit of armor would have trouble holding up against. The students got a little overconfident when they managed to push it back. But if they would have stuck to their attacks rather than…

New Recruits

by Tower Curator — Ylva and Nel popped into the room, hand in hand. Nel in her dark robes and Ylva in her white sheer dress. Eva jumped. Still leaning back in her chair with her feet propped up, she just about lost her balance and fell backwards. She managed to save herself with a quick blink to her feet just in front of the table. To the best of her memory, Ylva had never teleported on her own before. She didn't know why she hadn't expected her to be able to. Given Ylva's power level, it would be more surprising if…

Interrior

by Tower Curator — Eva didn't sit around to chat with Randal. A more in-depth questioning on what abilities his bound demon gave him could wait until after they had won this thing. She had a bad feeling. Nothing with any real reason behind it, just a chill up her spine. Blinking to the base of the pyramid, Eva hesitated for a second. The stairwell was still a smooth earthen slide. Rather than wait and see if Emily would reverse the staircase, she jumped. The bottom segment of the pyramid was the largest. She…

Elysium Reordered

by Tower Curator — 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…

Drawing Straws

by Tower Curator — 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…

Detours Visiting the Dead

by Tower Curator — "Oh no," Eva groaned. At first she had thought it was mere coincidence. People around school, especially those in her age group, often went to the same locations. As such, it shouldn't be too odd if some people followed her around all day. They visited the same classrooms or simply had class nearby. However, most people wouldn't walk around the school after class had ended for the day. Neither would they make three complete circuits without finding their destination. Even if they were from a foreign…
