Ylva | Out of the Fire

by Tower Curator — Juliana ran out of the small building titled Womens Ward. Even without asking her, Zoe could see the blond hadn't found her roommate. Truly a troublesome student. If Eva just ran off somewhere with Mr. Carter without telling anyone, Zoe would be sticking a tracking tag on the girl. If she hadn't run off... well, she would probably still be getting a tracking tag, so long as she came back in one piece. "I couldn't go into her room," Juliana said, "but I made a lot of noise at the door. I don't…

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…

The Powers that Be

by Tower Curator — Coughing twice, Zoe waved a hand in front of her face. A quick order shield had been enough to deflect most of the debris. Dust still made it through. While it was possible to make a shield airtight, it generally wasn't a good idea if she wanted to breathe for more than a few moments. Of course, she hadn't anticipated all the dirt being thrown up into the air, effectively blocking off her breathing anyway. With a whip of her dagger, Zoe quickly cleared away the dirt around her, filling the space with…

Surgery

by Tower Curator — Eva popped into the gate room of the women's ward. As Arachne hopped off her and grew back to her full height, Eva pulled out her cellphone and sent Zoe a message stating that she had put out the fires and was taking a rest at the prison. Not entirely true, but not a lie either. At least it would keep her from worrying when Eva didn't end up at the apartments. Heading out of the gate room and into her own room, Eva added a fresh bit of blood to her warding scheme. It was somewhat annoying that she…

Split

by Tower Curator — Shalise jumped to her feet, ready for another attack. Lynn was at her side in an instant. It was somewhat off-putting. Lynn's lightning and fire was far more effective at dealing with the enigmas than anything Shalise could put out. Sure, her muscles were strong and afforded her a certain level of toughness that she would otherwise lack, but not a single one of the creatures had actually made it within grappling range since Eva had brought along Lynn. She shouldn't be complaining, but Lynn just…

Pursuit

by Tower Curator — Eva wasn't jealous. Not the slightest little bit. Prax's domain was something special. Willie's domain had been... less than entrancing. His theater was fancy enough, on the inside at least. But at no point could Eva recall just stopping and staring with a gaping mouth. The only thing of any real note was his golden bee statues. Those just didn't appeal to Eva. The first time she had entered Ylva's domain, she was struck dumb with a sense of awe. The bottomless pit and the storm clouds overhead…

Patched Up

by Tower Curator — "Eva." The girl in question froze solid. Almost literally. The ambient temperature dropped faster than a lead weight in water. It reached the point where Eva could see her own breath. With a stiff back and tense muscles, she turned around. Her hastily fashioned crutch clanked on the marble tiles during her maneuver. Putting on a polite smile, she performed a cautious bow. "Ylva." "You came through Hell." "I did," Eva said, suppressing a wince. "And I swear, it is not my intention to proceed…

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…

Lynn’s Conclusion

by Tower Curator — Eva slumped over her desk. Basila lay curled up on top. Eva lightly prodded the sleeping sculpture, poking the side of its scaly head. It didn't seem to like that. Every now and again, it would snap at her finger. Some kind of mental conditioning kept it from biting hard or with its fangs. It ended up suckling around Eva's spindly finger. That only made Eva prod it more. Her master didn't have any useful advice about her eyes. He only said, "don't take the first deal you hear," and stalked off to…

KNEEL

by Tower Curator — Eva left Devon behind to finish his ritual design and to continue managing the defense of the prison. There wasn't much to defend. Devon himself and whatever research notes he might have had lying around. Eva didn't think that the enigmas would be too interested in a bunch of notebooks and papers, but who knew with them. As for Eva, she didn't think that she had left anything irreplaceable around. Most important things were over at the dormitory. Which, if she was being honest, was probably under attack…
