      Free at Last Cover
      by Tower Curator You must get up. But the tiles were so cold. At some point in her thrashing, Shalise's shirt had come off. She couldn't bring herself to care. With her bare stomach pressed against the floor, the metal tiles could take the heat away. Get up, she thought in a masculine voice. Grunting in resignation, Shalise pushed herself up to a sitting position. "Oh," she said as she glanced down. Her shirt hadn't come off. Finger sized tears ran across her chest, centered around the black brand on her…

      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…

      Domain Maintenance

      Domain Maintenance Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva's first thoughts upon landing on the sandy beach could be summed up in three simple words: What a mess. She glanced around her domain with a sinking feeling in her stomach. That unpleasant feeling that she had felt while enigmas were still 'alive' permeated the place. It didn't take long to figure out why. As Eva moved up the beach to the entrance to the alternate women's ward, she stopped and froze with a gaping mouth. Mess was putting it lightly. Just about every one of the trap doors had…

      Out Camping

      Out Camping Cover
      by Tower Curator Just as Nel had described, the camp was deserted. Halfway around the world, a small forest held a small camp. Two small-sized tents occupied a small clearing. A fire pit in the center still had some smoldering embers amidst plenty of ash. A bench and a makeshift table looked as if they had been fashioned from the surrounding woods. That and magic. With Shalise being an air mage, she would be able to use blades of wind in place of an axe. Eva wasn't sure if Shalise was adept enough at magic to do so,…

      Brakket Magical Academy

      Brakket Magical Academy Cover
      by Tower Curator Classes at Brakket were far more interesting than any class at a non magical school. That was simply by virtue of most classes having magic flying around them. The teachers themselves weren't all that different. Class might be better if Eva had been more new to the whole magic scene. The school building itself was a boring affair. Eva felt sure it was built by regular people. None of the rooms even had the oddities that the dorm study rooms had. The only exception to this was the courtyard. The…

      Pursuit

      Pursuit Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva wasn't jealous. Not the slightest little bit. Prax's domain was something special. Willie's domain had been... less than entrancing. His theater was fancy enough, on the inside at least. But at no point could Eva recall just stopping and staring with a gaping mouth. The only thing of any real note was his golden bee statues. Those just didn't appeal to Eva. The first time she had entered Ylva's domain, she was struck dumb with a sense of awe. The bottomless pit and the storm clouds overhead…

      Crystal Courier

      Crystal Courier Cover
      by Tower Curator "To be fair, if she hadn't summoned a demon, Arachne and I wouldn't have known where to look. In fact, we had been heading in the wrong direction prior to her summoning." Both Genoa and Carlos turned away from their daughter to glare at Eva. Behind them, sitting in the living room chair like it was the hot seat in an interrogation room, Juliana looked up and gave Eva a slight smile. A smile that did nothing to offset the intensity of her parents' glares. Under other circumstances, Eva might have wilted…

      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…

      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…

      Settling In

      Settling In Cover
      by Tower Curator An earthquake tore through the prison. Potion vials rattled, dust shook free from the walls, one of the runes providing light failed. Eva snapped the treatise on necromancy shut with a barely restrained sigh. That's the fifth time in the last hour. She glanced over at Juliana, Shalise, and Devon, all of whom were glued to the window. "Any sign of them stopping for the night?" Eva asked. "I don't think I'll be able to sleep like this." "I think they're trying to kill each other." Juliana just shook…
