Captured. Again.

by Tower Curator — "And-- Ohh!" Hank cried with a wince. "There goes the scout from Mount Hope. Brakket Academy's scout showed absolutely no restraint." He glanced to the side. "A little rivalry after that last event?" "Perhaps," Zoe said, watching as the boy struggled against the fleshy bindings that pinned him to a tree. Neuro stood nearby, apparently basking in his victory. Though that wasn't quite right. It was just that the cameras didn't show exactly what was going on. To be fair, Zoe doubted that being there in…

Bait and Switch

by Tower Curator — "Welcome back to Brakket Magical Academy for another night of mystery and imagination. I'm your host, Hank Hanson, and with me is the lovely Zoe Baxter, professor of theory here at Brakket Academy." "Thank you, Hank," Zoe said, trying to keep her smile as natural as possible. "Now," he said, "for those of you just joining us, a quick recap of the last event and the purpose of this tournament as a whole." As he started speaking, Zoe started tuning him out. Not enough to completely ignore him. She…

One for the Angles

by Tower Curator — "Construction?" Neuro asked with a frown, toying with of the golden triangles that adorned the tips of the demon's long hair. "Yep. Building a house maybe," Eva said with a shrug. She couldn't really think up anything else it might be. Saija's eyes narrowed to thin slits, glancing off to one side to avoid looking at anyone. Her lips curled back into a teeth-clenched grimace. "Building?" She nudged Irene in the side. "I told you we should have done that last event. How am I supposed to build…

Results

by Tower Curator — Eva flopped over on her bed. "Ah, I'm tired," she mumbled to nobody in particular. Nobody else was around. Juliana and Shalise had gone over to Genoa's house to watch the event. Irene, Jordan, and Shelby were all there as well, along with Saija, Srey, and Vektul. A gathering that might have had Eva worried for their safety from demon hunters had she not been so tired. Especially because she was relatively certain that Genoa had participated in the event as an antagonist to one of the…

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…

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…

Commentary

by Tower Curator — "Today's spectacular spectacle will be beginning shortly. The judges are being briefed on exactly how things are going to be going down. So far, neither we nor the contestants are aware of the specifics. However, that does not mean we are not prepared to bring you any action that may take place." Stepping away from the camera, the announcer waved his microphone-less hand towards an array of small flying machines. Several of them bobbed in the air at his gesture. "Twenty drones flown by our team of…

Uncomfortable Attentions

by Tower Curator — "Welcome. To some of you, this will be a welcome back. To others, an initial greeting. "This year, we will be making history with our students and among other schools around the country. We will be blah blah blah." Eva filled in her own words in place of the new dean's speech. She already knew what was happening. For the most part, at least. Really, she didn't know why she had bothered attending. Beginning of the year speeches were never interesting, this one least of all because of her…

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…

Out Camping

by Tower Curator — Just as Nel had described, the camp was deserted. Halfway around the world, a small forest held a small camp. Two small-sized tents occupied a small clearing. A fire pit in the center still had some smoldering embers amidst plenty of ash. A bench and a makeshift table looked as if they had been fashioned from the surrounding woods. That and magic. With Shalise being an air mage, she would be able to use blades of wind in place of an axe. Eva wasn't sure if Shalise was adept enough at magic to do so,…
