Recovery

by Tower Curator — Zoe's chest heaved as she took a deep breath of the crisp air within Ylva's domain. She turned to Wayne, letting all the air out in one long sigh. She gave off a half-smile, full of nervousness and worry. "Are we really doing this?" Wayne gave a short grunt. "I've done a lot of crazy things in my life. Jumping head first into Hell will be a new one." "You don't have to come with me." Wayne frowned. He opened his mouth, ready to berate her for saying that. After a moment of silence, he shook his…

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…

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…

Transference

by Tower Curator — Eva vanished. Irene vanished. Worst of all, she was in history class. Easily the most boring class at Brakket. Juliana found most of the practical classes to be fairly dull except on the odd occasion that they let her cast magic at her level instead of the class' level. Zagan's class turned out to be one of the better classes in that regard. Zoe's class was actually her favorite. She often challenged Juliana to think in new and unusual ways. History tended to be the exact opposite. Professor…

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…

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…
