      Women’s Ward

      Women’s Ward Cover
      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…

      Motivations

      Motivations Cover
      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…

      Bullies

      Bullies Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva spun on her heel and caught the rock out of the air. It was small and not pointed. That was a relief at least. Her fellow students weren't trying to kill her. It crumbled under the might of her claws. Too easy, far too easy. Probably had been designed to shatter on impact to create dust and a large mark on her back. Unbelievable. "A-are you alright?" "Fine," Eva ground out while giving a long, hard glare at the group of three students that stood where the rock had come from. She knew which…

      Aftermath

      Aftermath Cover
      by Tower Curator How disgusting. Elves. Loathsome beasts. They always found a way to disgust. Wallowing in their own filth as they served their human masters. Slaves without chains. Every elf read the works of Tolkien as they grew up. Since their fall, they dressed themselves up after the elves of Middle-earth. Mannered themselves as wise and nature oriented. An attempt at endearing themselves to humans. Catherine couldn't help but think it was mildly successful. The humans seemed to trust them…

      Granted Eyes

      Granted Eyes Cover
      by Tower Curator "Demon of strength?" Arachne let out a long laugh. "When I kill you, I think I will be taking your title." "Fool. Such arrogance will be your demise." Arachne laughed again. As if. The carnivean only had one tentacle of any significant length remaining. And that would soon be gone. It was disappointing, actually. Carniveans were supposed to be strong. Very strong. Sure, if it managed to wrap a tentacle around anything, that thing would break off--two of Arachne's legs and most of one arm were…

      Illusions

      Illusions Cover
      by Tower Curator "There," Arachne said. Not that she needed to say anything. Eva could feel the flames from a block away. Particles of blood started vanishing from her control as they neared the inferno. "See anyone?" "They're still around." Arachne's long tongue darted out of her mouth to run across her lips. "I can almost taste them." "Don't get eager. If it looks like a trap, we're running." Eva focused on her blood sense. It wouldn't help if the demons had a trick like Ylva in sunlight, but it was the…

      Discussions Cover
      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…

      Speeches

      Speeches Cover
      by Tower Curator Martina Tuner fought to keep a smile off her face as she looked out over the student body. A fight she came close to losing several times and she hadn't started speaking yet. Things couldn't have gone better if she had planned them out herself. The possibility of failure tempered her near overwhelming glee to more manageable levels. Barely. Her speech needed to be perfect. She could delay for a few days to write out a proper speech for the situation. Unfortunately, that would give ample…
    • Pointed Revelations Cover
      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…

      School Woes

      School Woes Cover
      by Tower Curator Zoe Baxter snapped shut the book in her hands. It was all worthless. She had put a halt to her demonology studies--taking the terminology from Devon--to work on helping one of her new students. No matter how many books she read on the subjects of diseases, debilitations, and illness, none of them had any answers. She'd been up and down every book and hadn't even been able to come up with similar cases, let alone a cure. Zoe was starting to get worried that she would have to delve into far more…
