Ready for Theft

by Tower Curator — "Wayne isn't coming with us?" Eva asked as she shook off the icy cold of Zoe's method of teleportation. Digging her claws into the brick wall of the building they had appeared next to, she pulled herself into a proper standing position. "I thought you said he would be here." "He will be. He just had to make a brief stop somewhere else first." Rubbing her claws up and down her arms, Eva watched an equally shaky Arachne as she unfolded herself from her smaller spider form. Without a gate nearby,…

Supply Run

by Tower Curator — Zoe stopped before a well-worn wooden door with a familiar brass handle. She pushed the door open, fully expecting to be welcomed into the bar and parlor by Tom's smiling face. A bright light had her wincing away the second she stepped inside. It took her mind a moment to catch on to the fact that something was wrong. The bar was never brightly lit. Lights were kept perpetually dim. Tom was not a mage, but she had often wondered if he didn't have some sixth sense for incoming customers. The lights…

Examinations

by Tower Curator — "Excuse my brother. He isn't so high-strung normally." Eva pulled back from Juliana and turned her eyes to the man she had called Erich. That explained the vague likeness to Genoa that she had noticed. Yet he lacked all of the relative frailty that embodied Carlos. Which didn't actually mean anything. Juliana wasn't frail in the slightest. She had inherited her father's height impairment while taking after her mother in every way that mattered. Probably a good thing. She might not have survived…

Trouble in Prison Town

by Tower Curator — "They thought I had lied to them. Led them into a trap." Shalise started at the anger in Sister Cross' words. "So they threw you into prison?" Lynn shook her head. "After the public relations disaster with the riot involving my chapter, my augur disappearing, and the failure of the inquisitorial squad after being briefed by me, they stripped me of command. "Leading them into a trap was just an excuse to dispose of me. I warned them about the devil-class demon and his involvement in Sister…

A Read Letter Day

by Tower Curator — Eva tossed a book over her shoulder. Worthless. It didn't matter how many tomes she went though, none of them described anything remotely similar to the enigmas. A number of creatures had violet blood. Humans could have blood that appeared purple under the right lighting and oxygen levels. A very select few mundane creatures even had natural purple blood. As such, blood wasn't much to go off of. Not for her at least. Wayne had taken a sample from the iced enigma to use in alchemy and regular…

Containment

by Tower Curator — Eva hadn't seen all that many movies, but those she had seen were of the horror genre. And the scene in front of her looked like something straight out of a horror movie. Blood stained the walls, the floors, and even the ceiling. The blood wasn't smeared on, nor did it spell out macabre messages. It formed large circles of an arcane nature. None of it dripped--Eva had made sure of that. So thorough were her shackles that she actually had to finish up from outside the room. She didn't want to risk…

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…

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…

Blood

by Tower Curator — "Sarah!" Wayne hammered his fist against the heavy oak door. "Sarah! Open the door!" He rattled the handle to no avail. It was locked. "Maybe no one is home," Serena said, arms clasped behind her head as she leaned against the wall. Zoe clung to the vampire's shirt, pressing her mask up against a curtained window near the two. Since rescuing Zoe from the thralls, the younger girl had stuck close to Serena. At first it had been mere holding hands. After about ten minutes of walking, Serena…

Companions

by Tower Curator — Walking through the streets of Lansing wasn't that bad. Because of the smog, Wayne had been forced to drive at extremely slow speeds. As long as he kept up a brisk pace, walking would likely end up being faster in the end anyway. There were a few drawbacks. Wayne considered himself far from the most athletic of people. Power walking the remaining mile or two to Sarah's house wasn't a huge issue, but he was starting to feel the strain in his legs. He had dropped his time dilation down several notches as…
