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…

Prison Prep

by Tower Curator — Eva took a moment to relax. On Ylva's throne. It wasn't easy. The throne was carved out of the same black marble the rest of the throne platform was made from. It had no cushions, no curvature, and it was far too large. Eva couldn't sit with her back against the throne's back without her calves hitting the relatively sharp edge of the seat. The hel was a skeleton while sitting on the throne. Maybe her nerves didn't function in that form. Maybe they didn't function anyway; she was barely better than a…

Power Overwhelming

by Tower Curator — Eva snapped her eyes open. She took a deep breath, glancing around as she took in her surroundings. She was on her back, staring up at the starry sky. Arachne, Catherine, and Qrycx the carnivean all stood around her with Arachne being the closest. Hovering over her with occasional glares at the other demons, Arachne had a protective air about her. It couldn't have been too long since the end of the ritual. Pre-ritual, everything had gone roughly the same as last time. Obviously Zagan wasn't around…

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…

Pest Removal

by Tower Curator — Devon strode into the Brakket Academy main lobby area with two demons in tow. Once upon a time, doing something so brazen would have gotten him killed without a doubt. Who in their right mind would ever allow a demon summoner and demons into a school? How times had changed. His weren't even the only demons he had spotted around the school. He had spotted a capra demon disguised as a student turning one of the many enigmas into minced meat just outside the entrance to the school. A few nearby human…

Other Treatments

by Tower Curator — A wall of cold water slammed into Eva's face. Her eyes snapped open. The icy liquid ran down her neck and chest, sending all kinds of shivers through her body. Cold did not agree with her. Coughing and sputtering, she tried to reach out with her awareness and get some sense of what was going on. She was in the women's ward on her couch. A somewhat soggy couch that had just had ice water dumped all over it. There would definitely be shouting about that later on. Devon stood over her with a…

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…

Nel

by Tower Curator — Nel huddled in the corner of Devon's cell house while the two argued out a plan. A seizure ran through her body. Nel avoided collapsing thanks solely to her already being crouched down. She tried hard to keep her eyes off of all of the demons they had summoned. It wasn't easy. Her eyes wanted to look. It'd be worse if she connected to the source. As it was without being connected, she retained some control. The female was the easiest to look at. Although whatever she was made from was inhuman,…

Motivations

by Tower Curator — "I understand that the dean's secretary was filling in during my absence, the topic--" "We discussed rituals again," Mr. Weston all but shouted out as he hopped to his feet. "At first I thought it was going to be some boring thing we already learned last year. Then she started getting into all the gritty details." He paused and glanced around the room with a raised eyebrow. "Or should I say gooey details?" Several snickers ran though several of the students--both male and female. More than a few…

Meeting

by Tower Curator — Wayne Lurcher downed his second glass of absinthe. She could have just told me. It would have been better that way. None of this skulking about, avoiding and ignoring needed to happen. What did she think I would have done? After all the dubious magic I taught her. Of course, he hadn't been entirely truthful on the origins of most of that magic. But still, she was the premier magical theorist. Surely she could have guessed. She had to have known that there was no chance Wayne would bring hunters to…
