Stuck Together

by Tower Curator — Catherine glanced back and forth between the two arguing people. She never would have expected Baxter to take her side. The professor had not left her with the impression that she was well liked when she kicked Catherine out of her classroom the last time she got injured. Few humans would side with a demon in the first place, though the point may have been moot. The sides were between Catherine and Ylva. "We cannot allow her to leave. She will betray Us the moment she perceives a lack of…

Book Three Epilogue

by Tower Curator — "Has she woken up yet?" Shelby stirred at the soft voice. She pulled herself out of the puddle of drool that had gathered on her sister's bed. Wiping off her cheek, she looked towards the doorway. "I don't think so. What--" An involuntary yawn drowned out her words. "What time is it?" "Ten o'clock in the morning," Jordan said as he pulled up a chair. "I was just talking with Nurse East. He said that she should be waking up anytime now." "That would be nice," Shelby said as she looked back down…

Cathedral Exit

by Tower Curator — Zoe dove to the side, ducking into the white room while narrowly avoiding the returned lightning from the stairwell. While her own lightning might not have been the most powerful thing she could have thrown, she had serious misgivings about killing people who were just doing their jobs. Especially when she was the one breaking and entering with the intent to steal priceless artifacts. The Elysium Order was under no such hesitations. White lightning that only narrowly missed colliding with Zoe hit the…

Forest Spar

by Tower Curator — Eva threw herself to the ground. A near invisible blade of wind skimmed over the tips of her hair. That's fine, Eva lied to herself as the ends of her hair drifted to the ground around her, my hair was getting too long anyway. A second gust of wind curled between the ground and her body. Eva's eyes grew wide as she felt the air draw in on itself. She felt a moment of panic before being launched up into the air. The world spun. Sky turned to trees which turned to ground before snapping back to the…

Back in Record Time

by Tower Curator — Zoe stared at the spot where the portal had been. She had been too slow. Nothing of Hell remained behind, just the smooth marble-like stone that made up the majority of the ritual circle. Not even blood remained within the portal's boundaries. Everything that was Eva was gone. A second portal had opened to swallow her legs---or what was left of them---though Zoe hadn't paid that portal so much attention. She had been focused solely on Eva's wide red eyes. She had been too slow. Zoe knelt, hand on…

Motivations

by Tower Curator — "I understand that the dean's secretary was filling in during my absence, the topic--" "We discussed rituals again," Mr. Weston all but shouted out as he hopped to his feet. "At first I thought it was going to be some boring thing we already learned last year. Then she started getting into all the gritty details." He paused and glanced around the room with a raised eyebrow. "Or should I say gooey details?" Several snickers ran though several of the students--both male and female. More than a few…

Ultimatum

by Tower Curator — Eva honestly wasn't sure what was going on. Supposedly, two people were fighting her. In reality, the nun hadn't hit her once. The white fire of the Elysium Order burned through the forest. Another burst of flames would spread out and around the ground anytime Eva and Arachne got out of sight. But that was about the only thing the nun was doing. A good amount of lightning had come close. Relatively. Never quite close enough to even burn off hairs on her arms. Arachne's dodging and Eva tossing fireballs…

Catch It

by Tower Curator — "Dean Anderson here." Eva sat on the edge of a table, staring out the window. So far, nothing had fallen from the sky that she had been able to see. Neither had anything approached the building. In fact, the pulsing of the violet streaks had died down to their usual levels of activity. Or inactivity, as the case was. Around her, most of the students had lost their nervousness. They were going about class as normal. Even Juliana had gone back to her seat after watching and not finding anything too…

Finishing Touches

by Tower Curator — Hands clasped behind her back, Eva walked around the completed ritual circle. Arachne followed along at her side, as usual, and Zoe had joined in as well. Catherine flew overhead, snapping pictures of the entire thing. They had a few changes to make that Catherine pointed out as errors. After her final check, the circle would be ready. Ready. An odd thought. They would summon Void. Void would fix the sky. Maybe send Life back into its natural dormancy. And then who knew what? It was an odd feeling. She…

Rats

by Tower Curator — Zoe was not enjoying her assignment. It was new magic--new to her, at least. Exactly the kind of magic she liked getting her hands on. But it was all wrong. Zoe had always been a firm proponent of the idea that magic was inherently neutral. Magic that other mages might consider 'white' could be used for nefarious purposes while 'black' magic was just as suited towards helping people as it was to hurting people. Magic was a tool. Nothing more. What someone did with that tool was entirely up to…
