      Commentary Cover
      by Tower Curator "Today's spectacular spectacle will be beginning shortly. The judges are being briefed on exactly how things are going to be going down. So far, neither we nor the contestants are aware of the specifics. However, that does not mean we are not prepared to bring you any action that may take place." Stepping away from the camera, the announcer waved his microphone-less hand towards an array of small flying machines. Several of them bobbed in the air at his gesture. "Twenty drones flown by our team of…
    • Captured. Again. Cover
      by Tower Curator "And-- Ohh!" Hank cried with a wince. "There goes the scout from Mount Hope. Brakket Academy's scout showed absolutely no restraint." He glanced to the side. "A little rivalry after that last event?" "Perhaps," Zoe said, watching as the boy struggled against the fleshy bindings that pinned him to a tree. Neuro stood nearby, apparently basking in his victory. Though that wasn't quite right. It was just that the cameras didn't show exactly what was going on. To be fair, Zoe doubted that being there in…
    • Back Among Friends Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva slid to a stop on the sidewalk a few roads away from where they found Juliana's cellphone. She waited just long enough for Arachne to catch up. "I feel it too," Arachne said before Eva could ask. "Or rather, I no longer feel him." "Just checking to make sure I wasn't broken," Eva said with a slight nod of her head. "Think he got banished again?" Arachne's tongue ran across the edges of her carapace around her mouth, wetting them slightly. "It would be awfully embarrassing if he did. Not that I…

      Bait and Switch Cover
      by Tower Curator "Welcome back to Brakket Magical Academy for another night of mystery and imagination. I'm your host, Hank Hanson, and with me is the lovely Zoe Baxter, professor of theory here at Brakket Academy." "Thank you, Hank," Zoe said, trying to keep her smile as natural as possible. "Now," he said, "for those of you just joining us, a quick recap of the last event and the purpose of this tournament as a whole." As he started speaking, Zoe started tuning him out. Not enough to completely ignore him. She…

      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…

      Pyramid

      Pyramid Cover
      by Tower Curator "And there goes group indigo." "A shame," Zoe said with a shake of her head. "They looked like they were doing so well." "When the tail swiped the... elf into the tree, I think the other two lost their nerves." "Indeed. Dragonkin are not to be taken lightly. Their scales can take a beating that even the finest suit of armor would have trouble holding up against. The students got a little overconfident when they managed to push it back. But if they would have stuck to their attacks rather than…
    • Press Conference Cover
      by Tower Curator After ensuring that she was indeed alone within her domain---she hadn't found any enigmas, humans, or demons wandering around, nor had she sensed the presence of any---Eva returned to the common room to further inspect the column sticking through the roof. As it turns out, it wasn't a column. All four sides angled inwards ever so slightly up until high above the roof where the angle bent sharply towards a central point. She had searched every inch that she could see and found nothing. No markings or…

      Slight Delay

      Slight Delay Cover
      by Tower Curator "Hank Hanson here at Brakket City coming to you with another live report. A series of earthquakes have torn through the city over the past few days. Today has had a few particularly bad ones. I have been in talks with Alexander Anderson, acting dean here at Brakket Academy. He does not believe that they are magically instigated; however, he has assured me that he has people investigating the possibility." The camera drone pulled back, moving away from Hank's award-winning smile to display an overview of…
