Settling In

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…

Obelisk

by Tower Curator — Catherine snapped a quick picture of the ritual circle Devon had devised to close the portals. It could be handy in the future given her other plans. For the moment, it had served its purpose. Magic now spent, the faint glow dimmed and was extinguished, plunging the entrance to Brakket Academy in the dark of the night. As it should be. Her phone's clock and the light of the sky now matched without the portals flooding daylight everywhere. She scanned the dark, starry sky---cleared of any clouds by the…

Extra Lessons

by Tower Curator — "F D P L T C E O," Shalise said without hesitation. "Good," Professor Baxter said. "Next line down?" "P E Z D I O E T O." "Close. Still, better vision than almost any normal person." Professor Baxter shut off the projector. "Keep practicing that spell and I might have to pull out the air mage chart." Shalise canceled the spell. Her vision went dark and she could barely hear the professor talking. No, it didn't go dark. Her brain just needed a reboot and adjust to unenhanced senses. It…

A Plan to Escape

by Tower Curator — Eva came down into her domain hard. It was supposed to catch her, and probably would have had she not considered her current situation so urgent. Her domain compensated for her urgency by not slowing her down. That was fine. Her legs could take the abuse. Eva rolled out of the way and glued her eyes up to where she had come from. She didn't want to take any chances that the woman had followed her. This nagging feeling in the corner of her mind told her that the moment she turned, she'd be…

The Bull

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…

Changes

by Tower Curator — Juliana groaned out. Fever heat had always bothered her. She hated the simultaneous inclination to both kick off her covers and gather them around her in a cushy pile. There was just no winning either way. The moment the covers were off, she'd be too cold. Gather them up and she'd be too hot. And someone had the brilliant idea to dump an extremely heavy, extremely hot blanket on top of her. Groaning again, Juliana reached out to shove the blanket off. The tips of her fingers found themselves…

Book Nine Epilogue

by Tower Curator — "Lucy?" Eva called out as she crept into the dormitory room assigned to the demon in question. Unlike the student demons---who were all housed in the Rickenbacker---Lucy's assigned room was over in the Gillet. Eva honestly didn't think that she had ever been inside. It was eerie. She was so used to everything being where it was in the Rickenbacker that walking inside its identical twin sent shivers down her spine. Everything was mirrored. Instead of turning left at the top of the stairs, she had to turn…

Shalise Ward

by Tower Curator — Zoe Baxter stalked down the halls. A wet young girl skipped along at her heels. Zoe finally managed to drag the girl out of the hot tubs. She made a beeline for the rocky pools the moment the tour stopped by. She jumped in without even removing her clothes. Now she happily skipped along with a towel around her, drawing several odd stares from passing students. She was oblivious to it all. Zoe stopped outside a specific door on the third floor and knocked. Conversation on the other side of…

Bullies

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…

Pre-School Chores

by Tower Curator — Eva stopped at the staircase and stared. It is a good thing I asked Zoe to wait outside, she thought. The book showed no one other than herself and Arachne within the building. Clearly that was only partially true. Part of a person lay halfway up the staircase to the second floor. Two legs and part of a torso. Blood splattered around the walls and ceiling, though there was no sign of anything above his shoulders. All dried to the point where Eva could only vaguely tell it was there in the first…
