Pointed Revelations

by Tower Curator — "Professors Baxter, Kines, and Zagan?" "We're a lot larger this year, probably because of Professor Zagan." The three professors stood in the center of the dueling rings. Franklin Kines spoke to the students about learning combat and a new outline and schedule for the mage-knight club courtesy of Zagan. The majority of it was the same as last year, so Eva felt little need to pay attention. Instead, Eva cast her sight around in full, inspecting everyone she could. Irene was correct. Including…

School Woes

by Tower Curator — Zoe Baxter snapped shut the book in her hands. It was all worthless. She had put a halt to her demonology studies--taking the terminology from Devon--to work on helping one of her new students. No matter how many books she read on the subjects of diseases, debilitations, and illness, none of them had any answers. She'd been up and down every book and hadn't even been able to come up with similar cases, let alone a cure. Zoe was starting to get worried that she would have to delve into far more…

Pre-School Chores

by Tower Curator — Eva stopped at the staircase and stared. It is a good thing I asked Zoe to wait outside, she thought. The book showed no one other than herself and Arachne within the building. Clearly that was only partially true. Part of a person lay halfway up the staircase to the second floor. Two legs and part of a torso. Blood splattered around the walls and ceiling, though there was no sign of anything above his shoulders. All dried to the point where Eva could only vaguely tell it was there in the first…

The Imp

by Tower Curator — Brakket had become polluted since this time the previous year. At least three demons freely walked the streets. Their stench wafted through the streets as a dead skunk on the side of the road might. It wasn't so much a smell as it was sense, but that was just how Arachne explained it. Still, the news worried Eva. There were apparently three demons running around where Eva was certain there had been only two. That was not including Arachne herself. There were traces of others. According to Arachne,…

Riot at the Warehouse

by Tower Curator — "Get out of our town!" "...more damage than..." "...cost us our livelihoods." Martina Turner stalked through the gathered crowd with a grin on her face. Of course, it was well hidden in the shadows of her hood. Plenty others in the crowd had hoods. She wouldn't be singled out because of it. Her entire attire changed simply to avoid being recognized. It was amazing how wearing a distinctive costume every day made people's gazes shift right over her when she changed to more normal clothing. Of…

Zoe Experiments

by Tower Curator — Zoe Baxter had been feeling off-balance the entire day. There was a weight in her pocket unlike anything she'd felt before. It didn't hold back her movements or tear through the threads holding her pocket together. For all she knew, the weight was nothing but her imagination. Symbolic, most likely. Cursed metal, otherwise. When she first put the ring on in the presence of Ylva, it shrunk down and latched onto her finger. She nearly went into a panic. It took a lot of self-control not to pull out…

The Gift

by Tower Curator — Marble makes nice flooring, Juliana decided. It wasn't as warm feeling or looking as hard wood, but it looked nice. Especially when the floor was as well polished as the flooring in Ylva's throne room. Zoe looked distinctly uncomfortable as she knelt before the throne. It was an odd sight to see the stern and relatively powerful teacher kneel down. She probably took it as a blow to her pride. Kneeling in the presence of her students couldn't help; one of whom knew Zoe from before school started while…

Nel in Hiding

by Tower Curator — "An attack?" "Indeed." Eva watched her master's reactions carefully as he soaked up the details of what happened. Zoe Baxter seemed calm while delivering the news, but her master's heart rate jumped. Arachne stood behind Eva's chair with her arms wrapped around Eva, stoic in her expressions as usual. Her heart tube thing didn't change its pulses in the slightest. She was almost sad that she had missed it. It sounded like a lot of fun to watch. It was her first day out of the infirmary and…

Irene’s Lunch

by Tower Curator — No Eva, no Shalise, no Juliana. Irene didn't like it. None of the teachers told her or Shelby anything. Whatever caused their absence only happened two days ago and yet all three were missing from class. From the tiny amount that they were told, Juliana wasn't even there when their room was trashed. Again. Maybe her mother finally pulled her out of school for good. Irene hadn't given up hope that her own mother would decide the school was too dangerous for her. It was too dangerous. Whatever…

Extra Lessons

by Tower Curator — "F D P L T C E O," Shalise said without hesitation. "Good," Professor Baxter said. "Next line down?" "P E Z D I O E T O." "Close. Still, better vision than almost any normal person." Professor Baxter shut off the projector. "Keep practicing that spell and I might have to pull out the air mage chart." Shalise canceled the spell. Her vision went dark and she could barely hear the professor talking. No, it didn't go dark. Her brain just needed a reboot and adjust to unenhanced senses. It…
