      The Gift

      The Gift Cover
      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…

      The Frying Pan

      The Frying Pan Cover
      by Tower Curator "You knock on your own door?" Irene quirked an eyebrow in Juliana's direction. The two finished shopping in record time. The subpar selection offered by shops around Brakket certainly helped. Still, Juliana made out with a new uniform and plenty of everyday clothes. Her favorite purchase was a brand new winter coat. It was cut long with an outer layer of wool and fleece lining. Her old coat wasn't technically ruined due to being hung up near the door when the golems attacked. As long as Zoe lifted…

      The Crypt

      The Crypt Cover
      by Tower Curator "Damnit Arachne you damn demon," Devon shouted. Things quickly descended to chaos in the small room. Eva's master had thrown himself to the floor. He clutched one hand with the other. An arrow poked through to the other side of his hand. "This is the sixth damn time you've done this." Juliana, to her credit, jumped at the action. She erected a large barrier to cover most of the doorway and was launching large chunks of earth at their attackers. "The girl wasn't even in line of sight of the…

      The Bull

      The Bull Cover
      by Tower Curator Her hug was only stiffly returned. She pulled away from the target of her embrace and glanced over her friend. Shalise took one look at Eva and her stomach sank. "Y-your eyes... that isn't from when you saved me, is it?" Eva just tilted her head to the side in a confused look. She leaned slightly against Juliana's desk. "No. Why would you think that? I was sitting around on the floor holding you for several minutes afterwards." That must have been a stupid question, Shalise thought even as she…

      The Book

      The Book Cover
      by Tower Curator A chilly breeze ran over the dormitory rooftop. Eva shivered. The early sunsets and low temperatures in mid September were nothing like Florida. She had purchased pants, but hadn't expected to need them until November or December at least. At this rate, Eva would need to go out and buy some long underwear. Or perhaps look into magical methods of keeping warm. Surely they existed. If not, her runes hadn't failed her yet. She'd just use the same runes that heated her shower water. In contrast to the…

      The Airplane

      The Airplane Cover
      by Tower Curator "A cat carrier?" The security agent quirked an eyebrow. "It just has a few books in it," Eva said with a shrug. "I'm planning on coming back in a car and bringing a cat with me. I figured I could use it as a carry-on for the flight." Too much information? Did I offer an explanation too fast? Eva suppressed a nervous swallow. If she was caught, there would definitely be problems. When the officer didn't say anything, Eva prodded, "is there a problem with that?" "No, I suppose not. Run it through…

      Tentacles!

      Tentacles! Cover
      by Tower Curator The red light flickered out. Garbed in white, the boy from Isomer unleashed his spell. Five minutes of doing nothing but pouring magic into his wand manifested itself as a field of ice. It spread around him, flash freezing everything in a small bubble of space. Plants and insects alike died in droves. Even tiny drops of water in the air crystallized and fell to the ground in an explosion of snow. Standing next to his fellow red marble holder, the other boy should have been caught within the ice as…

      Teleport Home

      Teleport Home Cover
      by Tower Curator It took most of the rest of the day for Eva to finally shake herself out of her stupor. After having a few minutes to calm down, Lucy's domain probably hadn't been the worst thing ever. It was close, but not the worst. The tentacles weren't even that bad. Eva could stand tentacles. That monster covered in holes on the other hand... Another shudder wracked Eva's body at the thought. Whatever it was, Eva wouldn't mind never seeing it again. At the moment, Eva was assuming both the tentacles and the…
    • Surgical Happenings Cover
      by Tower Curator "I can't believe scum like that tasted your blood before me," Serena sulked once they were back in their room. "I can't believe that we're working with those monsters," Nel said, gripping her hands into fists. "They should be exterminated, not bartered with." "Hey! I'll have you know that I would very much resent being exterminated." Eva moved past the bickering idiots and slumped straight into one of the beds. At this point, she wasn't sure if she would care about them murdering each…

      Surgery

      Surgery Cover
      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…
