Women’s Ward

by Tower Curator — Zoe put on a light smile as she greeted her old teacher. "It is good to see you again, Genoa. Carlos." Juliana's father gave a light nod of his head. "I wish I could say the same." Genoa slid down her circular sunglasses to peer over the top. Zoe tried to maintain her smile. It felt strained and fake. She did not like the look she was getting. Understandable though it was. "A situation has arisen involving your daughter." "So I hear. Where is she?" "Juliana, along with her two…

Shiny Boots

by Tower Curator — Camping with her family was one of Juliana's favorite activities. All of it was such a drastic change from the asphalt streets, concrete buildings, and people. The fresh smell of the woods. The crisp, mid-May air. The crinkle of her tent in the cold air of wilderness mornings. The warmth of a blazing fire dancing in front of her. And, of course, her parents. She loved it all. Not that she hated being in a city. It was just the idea that she liked. The idea of wandering for miles without coming…

Settling In

by Tower Curator — An earthquake tore through the prison. Potion vials rattled, dust shook free from the walls, one of the runes providing light failed. Eva snapped the treatise on necromancy shut with a barely restrained sigh. That's the fifth time in the last hour. She glanced over at Juliana, Shalise, and Devon, all of whom were glued to the window. "Any sign of them stopping for the night?" Eva asked. "I don't think I'll be able to sleep like this." "I think they're trying to kill each other." Juliana just shook…

Revised Treatment

by Tower Curator — Juliana Laura Rivas flipped through the news. It had been months and there was still no sign that anything was amiss around Brakket City. The purple streaks in the sky had attracted a good amount of attention for the first month. Brakket was fairly isolated from much of the mundane world, but not so much that the sky would go unnoticed. Even had satellites not been able to pick up the anomaly, people in neighboring cities could look out the window and see the sky. It was simply too huge of an effect…

Reformation

by Tower Curator — Zoe sighed as she walked down the streets of Brakket. Eva insisted that nobody walk around alone. Which, honestly, was not poor advice at the moment. However, she needed time to think. Teleporting straight to Genoa's house wouldn't give her enough time. Or any time, really. Teleporting was near instant. Barring any sudden wards popping up, teleporting would be a perfectly viable escape from any dangerous situation. And she was keeping careful watch for any sign of a ward. A cold wind picked up,…

Rats

by Tower Curator — Zoe was not enjoying her assignment. It was new magic--new to her, at least. Exactly the kind of magic she liked getting her hands on. But it was all wrong. Zoe had always been a firm proponent of the idea that magic was inherently neutral. Magic that other mages might consider 'white' could be used for nefarious purposes while 'black' magic was just as suited towards helping people as it was to hurting people. Magic was a tool. Nothing more. What someone did with that tool was entirely up to…

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.…

Leakage

by Tower Curator — Catherine's heels clicked in a steady rhythm as she walked down the empty hallway of Brakket Academy. She considered running. The quicker she made it home, the sooner she could join in on her clan's planned raid against those pathetic humans and elves. Well, they were all humans--probably--including her own team. But her team had chosen the demonic race, so their hearts were in the right place. As it was, she was already a full half hour late because of 'secretarial duties' that she had been…

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…

Discussions and Waiting

by Tower Curator — Eva watched as Zoe left with the body of Simon. Somehow, Eva was hoping that she wasn't about to return the body to the hospital. Its condition was far from pristine. Seeing it would probably cause a lot of grief if he had anyone that cared about him. Perhaps returning his ashes would be the best course of action. Brushing his hands together to get rid of chalk dust, Devon stood from the circle. "Everything is drawn correctly," he said. "Seems a sick kid won't do. At least, not one that sick." With a…
