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…

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…

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…

The Airplane

by Tower Curator — "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…

The Rickenbacker

by Tower Curator — "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…

Discussions

by Tower Curator — Eva coiled the muscles in her legs and jumped off from the ground. She soared through the air, free from the tethers of gravity for a scant few seconds. When gravity finally reasserted itself, Eva fell only a few inches. Her bare feet impacted the top of the sandstone wall. It was a very light impact--Eva had plenty of practice getting the jump just high enough--but as light as it was, it still caused some of the sandstone to crumble. One of the walls had partially collapsed from Arachne climbing over…

Botany and The Bar

by Tower Curator — Irene dug her fingers into the moist soil. The small hole grew as she wiggled her fingers. As smooth and soft as the magically modified dirt was, she could feel it grinding underneath her fingernails. She had to purchase a fingernail brush for this class alone. Her nails were clipped short and she'd long given up painting them. Other students wore gloves to avoid getting dirt on their hands. Irene's hands instantly turned into balls of sweat the moment gloves touched her. Her hand snapped back to her…

Diablery

by Tower Curator — Zoe came out of between. Taking a step forward, Zoe heard the light slap of her shoes in a shallow puddle. Her eyes widened in horror and shock as she noticed the pool of red coating the surface of the floor. The Gate Room, as Eva called it, was the designated entryway for all arriving teleports. There weren't all that many people cleared to just show up inside the women's ward. At least none that would find the experience pleasant--Eva's wards weren't the kind one wanted to stumble across. It…

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…

Evacuation

by Tower Curator — Wayne kept his fireball steadily humming in front of the two of them. A warning that he could and would protect himself at any sign of hostility. She, in turn, had one arm linked around his like they were a couple. Her other arm kept Zoe pressed against her chest. Despite his growing tension, Serena was the picture of relaxation. She leaned her head against his arm, knowing yet uncaring of the flames just inches away. A show of power? Or stupidity. Either way, she hadn't attacked him yet. Wayne was…
