Summer

by Tower Curator — Trees whisked past. Brush and ground vanished into the distance. Long, black hair trailed through the air gracefully, almost parallel to the ground. She was a sight to see. At least, that's how Eva imagined it. The sad reality was that her hair clung to the sweat on her back in a giant, tangled rat's nest. It would take a lot of work to get it back to the normal. Next time, Eva thought, I'll put it up in a bun. Still, Eva couldn't help but to laugh. She hadn't run since November and she hadn't…

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…

Book Two Epilogue

by Tower Curator — You saved my life. I'll spare yours. This one time. Do not test my goodwill. Eva frowned as Arachne read the three lines again. There was no signature, but it didn't take a lot of guesses to figure out the sender. Eva could only recall saving one life in her recent memory. Maybe. Zagan agreed to not kill her. As long as he was planning on following through with that, Eva didn't actually need to interfere. How Sister Cross got the note onto her pillow without either waking Eva or alerting…

Riot at the Warehouse

by Tower Curator — "Get out of our town!" "...more damage than..." "...cost us our livelihoods." Martina Turner stalked through the gathered crowd with a grin on her face. Of course, it was well hidden in the shadows of her hood. Plenty others in the crowd had hoods. She wouldn't be singled out because of it. Her entire attire changed simply to avoid being recognized. It was amazing how wearing a distinctive costume every day made people's gazes shift right over her when she changed to more normal clothing. Of…

Sister Hubbard’s Fatal Mistake

by Tower Curator — Rapid breaths echoed inside her helmet. Every breath in was warm, stuffy, and stale. Every breath out moistened the air further. Juliana blinked away the extra liquid on her eyes. With a quick thought, she widened up the mouth holes in an attempt at sucking in more oxygen. A few slits for extra ventilation opened up around her cheeks. Figuring out the exact balance between protection and breathability was more of guesswork than anything. Acquiring a book on medieval knight helmets might not be such a…

Runic Experimentation

by Tower Curator — The last few scribbles made their way from one paper to the next. Eva wasn't using her good ink. This was just a test. Besides, the less of the good ink Eva used, the more funds she had. While the privacy rune packs were profitable to be sure, it was still money from kids. Kids without a lot of money for the most part. Drastically overestimating the budget for her supplies to her new employer was like taking candy from a baby. A really rich baby that had no identifiable source of income. Funny how…

The Gift

by Tower Curator — Marble makes nice flooring, Juliana decided. It wasn't as warm feeling or looking as hard wood, but it looked nice. Especially when the floor was as well polished as the flooring in Ylva's throne room. Zoe looked distinctly uncomfortable as she knelt before the throne. It was an odd sight to see the stern and relatively powerful teacher kneel down. She probably took it as a blow to her pride. Kneeling in the presence of her students couldn't help; one of whom knew Zoe from before school started while…

Confrontation

by Tower Curator — "I need a shower." "You say that every other session." "Every other session is a workout session," Shelby wiped her forehead on her sleeve. "Look at this. Its gross." Jordan brushed her arm off to one side. "If it is so gross, don't rub it in my face." "Don't be such a baby. It is only sweat." "You're the one who called it gross in the first place." Shalise giggled at her friends' antics. Since Professor Kines' combative magic club started, the pair had grown closer. Shelby always hung…

Courtyard Meeting

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,…

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…
