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…

Book Seven Epilogue

by Tower Curator — Juliana stopped outside the front door of a smaller home on the outskirts of the city. The very outskirts. It was difficult to get farther away without technically being outside the city limits. Houses out here were few and far between. Brakket City wasn't much of a city to begin with, but out here, it was basically farmland. Abandoned farmland. Real rural area. With the abysmally low price of houses and her family's own wealth, it hadn't been much of an issue to purchase one. Juliana's father had…

Book Four Epilogue

by Tower Curator — Juliana awoke with a start, eyes stinging as a few droplets of sweat fell. Another nightmare, she thought, lifting her head from where it rested on her mother's bed. At least this one had something more than just her mother dying in various horrifying ways. It had been a reminder about something she had forgotten. Something she couldn't allow to remain forgotten. "This is not a long-term care ward." The light in the infirmary was set as low as it could possibly go without actually being off.…

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…

Christmas

by Tower Curator — "Your grip has tightened since Halloween." "I heard you were staying in town for Christmas," Eva shrugged. "I went out to buy a stress ball straight away." Genoa Rivas barked out a laugh. "Good. Good." She released Eva's hand and clasped her own on the shoulder of her partner. With a light shove, the spindly man stumbled forwards. He managed to avoid crashing into Eva by inches. "This is my husband, Carlos." A spindly arm stretched out to Eva. "H-hello," he said in a high-pitched…

Book Three Epilogue

by Tower Curator — "Has she woken up yet?" Shelby stirred at the soft voice. She pulled herself out of the puddle of drool that had gathered on her sister's bed. Wiping off her cheek, she looked towards the doorway. "I don't think so. What--" An involuntary yawn drowned out her words. "What time is it?" "Ten o'clock in the morning," Jordan said as he pulled up a chair. "I was just talking with Nurse East. He said that she should be waking up anytime now." "That would be nice," Shelby said as she looked back down…

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…

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…

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…

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…
