      Treatment

      Treatment Cover
      by Tower Curator Hot air permeated the entire building. The pleasant kind of hot air. It wrapped around and enveloped Eva. She didn't need all the heating runes covering her clothes here. She didn't even need clothes, but she couldn't muster the energy to pull them off. Eva reclined with a soft sigh, sinking deeper into the cushions of the couch. All of her aches and pains leaked out into the leather. The couch accepted all of it without complaint. If it did complain, she might have been a little worried. Her…

      Courtyard Meeting

      Courtyard Meeting Cover
      by Tower Curator The end of class chime stopped Bradley Twillie's lecture on eloko. They were a species of dwarf that prefer forests over the underground mountains of their cousins. A small group apparently lived not far from Brakket. Curses that they put on unaware explorers and hikers were of particular interest to Eva. The one that caused traveler's senses to swap seemed particularly interesting. Professor Twillie wasn't entirely clear, but it sounded like the curse made someone smell sounds, see touches, hear light,…

      Shiny Boots

      Shiny Boots Cover
      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…

      Security

      Security Cover
      by Tower Curator Martina smiled as she looked over the assembled guards. Her office was somewhat crowded. It was never the largest room, even if it was the highest office at Brakket. Having herself, Zagan, two demons, three mage-knights, and an elf made it feel very small indeed. The elf wasn't her idea. He was some child elf that heard about Lurcher. Upon learning about the hiring of security, he applied. The school's administrators approved. He was eager to make a name for himself defending human school children or…

      Splatter

      Splatter Cover
      by Tower Curator Razor-edged talons sunk into the wooden wall next to Genoa's face. The partially collapsed building groaned, protesting the force, but otherwise stayed intact. Which was great. Genoa didn't much care for buildings collapsing on top of her. She had enough of that raiding unstable ruins for the guild. Though, at least she wasn't being actively attacked by hundreds upon hundreds of monsters in those ruins. Maybe there was a tomb guardian of some sort, but that usually capped out at one or two. The…

      Status Reports

      Status Reports Cover
      by Tower Curator "Nothing." Eva nodded. It came easily. No big disappointment in Nel's words. She hadn't expected much from the ex-nun. "That's fine," Eva said. "I'd appreciate it if you kept trying, but you don't need to dedicate every moment of your time." "Of course I will!" Nel slammed her palms down on her marble altar. "I want that man dead as much as you. No! More than you." She pulled up the sleeve of her robe. The augur's arm was looking much better than it had back when Eva first woke up. A good half…

      Diablery

      Diablery Cover
      by Tower Curator Zoe came out of between. Taking a step forward, Zoe heard the light slap of her shoes in a shallow puddle. Her eyes widened in horror and shock as she noticed the pool of red coating the surface of the floor. The Gate Room, as Eva called it, was the designated entryway for all arriving teleports. There weren't all that many people cleared to just show up inside the women's ward. At least none that would find the experience pleasant--Eva's wards weren't the kind one wanted to stumble across. It…

      Discussions and Waiting

      Discussions and Waiting Cover
      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…

      Landlord’s Bad Day

      Landlord’s Bad Day Cover
      by Tower Curator "Eva," Juliana called after the rushing girl, "wait up." The problem with armor, especially metal armor, was that it weighed a ton. Not a literal ton, but definitely more than a school backpack. Other students never carried even a fraction of the weight of Juliana's armor during their entire tenure at Brakket Academy. Being a physically fit person, it wasn't a big deal most of the time. Her mother's training had built up her muscles and a slow yet steady increase in the amount of metal she carried…

      New Arrivals

      New Arrivals Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva's forehead throbbed. Not horribly. She had suffered through worse headaches before. The ritual to share Sawyer's senses for one and anytime enigmas were around for another. And this current headache was already subsiding to unnoticeable levels. The only reason the headache was special at all was the cause. A dozen demons were making their way from the outskirts of town towards Brakket Academy. Altogether, they weren't so bad. It was just that they had all come into Eva's range at the same…
