Juliana in the Dorm

by Tower Curator — An awkward air hung about the usual group. No one talked, no one laughed. Everyone sat around picking at their food. Everyone except for Max. He had his usual double helping of refried beans and a side of string beans. Eva wasn't sure what was up with everyone. Juliana, she could understand. The girl had barely spoken two words since Eva refused to talk about blood magics or demonology. She didn't think she had done anything to the others. None of them asked about Shalise. Either they already knew…

Back into the Fire

by Tower Curator — Eva tossed the now slightly damp towel over her shoulder, not caring in the slightest where it actually landed. She exited the showers completely in the nude. Arachne followed her out at her heels. Devon still sat, snoring in his chair. For a moment, she considered waking him. After glancing at the large bruise on his forehead, Eva decided he looked tired enough to leave alone. Besides, he managed to sleep through all the noise of the showers. Never had she felt so alive. She stopped and…

Cured

by Tower Curator — The long hallway. Blood red walls with a black hardwood floor. A narrow carpet protected the hardwood from the sharp undersides of Eva's feet. There were no doors. No side passages. Nothing at all apart from a way forwards and a way backwards. It looked exactly as it had every other time. Eva took off at a run. And promptly got nowhere. It didn't matter which way she ran. Neither direction ever took her anywhere apart from where she was. Yet Eva ran. There had to be progress…

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…

Obelisk

by Tower Curator — Catherine snapped a quick picture of the ritual circle Devon had devised to close the portals. It could be handy in the future given her other plans. For the moment, it had served its purpose. Magic now spent, the faint glow dimmed and was extinguished, plunging the entrance to Brakket Academy in the dark of the night. As it should be. Her phone's clock and the light of the sky now matched without the portals flooding daylight everywhere. She scanned the dark, starry sky---cleared of any clouds by the…

Melancholy

by Tower Curator — It was surprising how normal everything seemed. Not seemed. Everything was normal. Just like after Halloween, people's lives went on. School went on. Learning went on. Everyone just ignored the empty table where her students usually sat. And there was nothing Zoe Baxter could do about it. The students who had come to class were not paying any sort of attention. Not surprising. Zoe was only going through the motions of her lesson. No personal touch, no emphasis or animation in her actions.…

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…

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…

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,…

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…
