Stalkers

by Tower Curator — "I volunteer." Everyone in the room turned to look at Eva. Nobody knew what the event would be. Wallace Redford had been keeping extremely tight lipped about the matter. Eva knew that more than one demon had tried following him around. Probably several humans as well. Then there were the other schools which probably had their own spies. If they had found anything, they weren't sharing. They were supposed to be discussing possibilities. Personally, Eva was just hoping for straight up combat. Maybe…

War Games

by Tower Curator — Eva was absolutely certain that Arachne wasn't actually attempting to kill her. She was only mostly certain that Genoa wasn't trying to kill her. Whatever the case, neither of them was messing around. Not that Eva could blame them. They all had been told in very plain words exactly what would happen to them should they fail to perform. Putting her back to a wall, Eva took a moment to catch her breath. Pinned between the mass of insects led by Arachne and the few but elite human mages headed by Genoa,…

To the Obelisk

by Tower Curator — Sister Abbey had turned out useful after all. The door to the next staircase had been not only locked, but warded as well. Said wards went far over Eva's head. She knew her blood wards and some runic equivalents to certain wards, and that was about it. She was fairly certain that the wards were beyond Zoe's expertise as well. At least the ones specific to the Elysium Order. Regular thaumaturgical wards, Zoe could probably have taken down herself. With study, Eva had no doubt that Zoe would have been…

The Powers that Be

by Tower Curator — Coughing twice, Zoe waved a hand in front of her face. A quick order shield had been enough to deflect most of the debris. Dust still made it through. While it was possible to make a shield airtight, it generally wasn't a good idea if she wanted to breathe for more than a few moments. Of course, she hadn't anticipated all the dirt being thrown up into the air, effectively blocking off her breathing anyway. With a whip of her dagger, Zoe quickly cleared away the dirt around her, filling the space with…

Paranoia

by Tower Curator — Vague directions, as it turned out, were not the best ways to find people. Especially not people who were spying on Eva and probably knew that she was on her way to find them. Given the time it had taken to gather everyone up, their spy would have had plenty of time to move. Srey ended up bringing everyone to a stop in an alley some distance from the school. "This is the spot." Eva glanced around, looking for any sign that someone had been around. Her sense of blood wasn't picking anything up.…

Indecision

by Tower Curator — "Well, that's definitely the doll that I saw in Hell." Eva stepped away from the window, looking at the others. Irene and her succubus were standing towards the back of the stairwell. One was trying to look as small as possible while the other continually preened as soon as she thought someone was looking in her direction. Unfortunately for Saija, the doll standing out in the courtyard below was of far more interest to everyone. Juliana and Genoa were both forward a bit more, both looking out the…

Trousers

by Tower Curator — Eva dropped out of the sky, seething with her fists clenched tight as she grit her teeth together. Her final blink had carried her over the makeshift wall of the Brakket dormitory plaza. The first thing she noticed were the arachnid legs scattered about. Arachne's dismembered legs. Perhaps the source of the disturbing feeling. Or so Eva thought until she spotted the rest of the demon, the hunter, and the doll. The hunter's curved sword was buried in Arachne's stomach. Blood boiled the moment…

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…

The Invitation

by Tower Curator — A hot fire burned away the cold October air. It crackled and warmed the young instructor's office. The professor sat in her chair, calmly reading through a thin book as the red flames scorched the walls of her fireplace. Zoe Baxter sighed and snapped her book shut. She tossed it into a pile of similar books and grabbed the next book on her stack. It slipped from her tired fingers and clattered to the floor. Zoe didn't bother to pick it up. If the pile of worthless books was any indication, it wouldn't…

Ylva | Out of the Fire

by Tower Curator — Juliana ran out of the small building titled Womens Ward. Even without asking her, Zoe could see the blond hadn't found her roommate. Truly a troublesome student. If Eva just ran off somewhere with Mr. Carter without telling anyone, Zoe would be sticking a tracking tag on the girl. If she hadn't run off... well, she would probably still be getting a tracking tag, so long as she came back in one piece. "I couldn't go into her room," Juliana said, "but I made a lot of noise at the door. I don't…
