Shocking

by Tower Curator — "This is a surprise. After all that skulking about, you come out of the woodwork now?" Clement stood unmoving. He could feel the sweat beading down his skin beneath his armor. The battle hadn't even started yet. Demons never really frightened him. They were arrogant beings, the kind of monsters who thought themselves so above humanity that nothing short of an army could beat them in combat. When faced against a medieval knight and a lithe girl, most tended to laugh. If given the chance to monologue,…

Book Four Epilogue

by Tower Curator — Juliana awoke with a start, eyes stinging as a few droplets of sweat fell. Another nightmare, she thought, lifting her head from where it rested on her mother's bed. At least this one had something more than just her mother dying in various horrifying ways. It had been a reminder about something she had forgotten. Something she couldn't allow to remain forgotten. "This is not a long-term care ward." The light in the infirmary was set as low as it could possibly go without actually being off.…

Complications

by Tower Curator — Irene sat in her seat, shifting back and forth. Her first day back in diablery class had her feeling intensely nervous. She had been the one to cause the brief intermission in their lessons. Surprisingly enough, the rest of the class wasn't staring at her in one way or another. She had expected a glare or two at least. She did almost cause them injury--from their perspective. Or worse. Perhaps those that were the type to glare had already been kicked out of class. Those that were left tended to…

School Business

by Tower Curator — Returning to school just wasn't quite the same. It didn't feel right. So much had happened and so much was going to happen that sitting in class and practicing thaumaturgy just felt unimportant. Like being concerned over a mosquito bite while bleeding out from a missing arm. Eva leaned back in her chair and shut her eyes. She was supposed to be practicing heat manipulation. None of Isaac Calvin's directions actually made it to her conscious thoughts. The unending swirl and churn of her worries and…

Book Three Epilogue

by Tower Curator — "Has she woken up yet?" Shelby stirred at the soft voice. She pulled herself out of the puddle of drool that had gathered on her sister's bed. Wiping off her cheek, she looked towards the doorway. "I don't think so. What--" An involuntary yawn drowned out her words. "What time is it?" "Ten o'clock in the morning," Jordan said as he pulled up a chair. "I was just talking with Nurse East. He said that she should be waking up anytime now." "That would be nice," Shelby said as she looked back down…

Book One Epilogue

by Tower Curator — "Spencer!" Eva crushed a glass vial in her hands. She glared up at the teacher. Or the black band of leather over her eyes glared up. "Gloves off in this class unless they're lab gloves." "I was doing fine until you shouted at me." "You'll soak up materials you don't want to walk around with." Professor Lurcher glowered down at the girl. "Gloves off." The steel spoon bent in her other hand. Grains of paradise spilled over the table. Eva grit her teeth. She threw down the spoon with a clatter…

Rage

by Tower Curator — Eva snapped into being on the gate she had made within her new dormitory room. She wasn't even that wobbly from the teleport. Still, she took a moment to steady herself before moving around. In that moment, she glanced around. Both with her eyes and her less mundane senses. She immediately froze. The very first thing that she noticed was Zagan. She couldn't see him, but she could feel him. His overwhelming presence occluded everything else. Whatever had happened, he wasn't trying to hide in the…

Lynn’s Conclusion

by Tower Curator — Eva slumped over her desk. Basila lay curled up on top. Eva lightly prodded the sleeping sculpture, poking the side of its scaly head. It didn't seem to like that. Every now and again, it would snap at her finger. Some kind of mental conditioning kept it from biting hard or with its fangs. It ended up suckling around Eva's spindly finger. That only made Eva prod it more. Her master didn't have any useful advice about her eyes. He only said, "don't take the first deal you hear," and stalked off to…

Marionette

by Tower Curator — Juliana walked through the streets of Brakket city. Despite being late September, the temperature was through the roof. Part of the problem might be the several pounds of metal she wore. She made air holes at strategic points to let it breathe a little; it didn't help all that much. What a horrible day to be out, Juliana thought as she took a long drink from a water bottle. The temperature was supposed to drop next week. Juliana had half a mind to go home and come out then. That wouldn't do. She was…

Security

by Tower Curator — Martina smiled as she looked over the assembled guards. Her office was somewhat crowded. It was never the largest room, even if it was the highest office at Brakket. Having herself, Zagan, two demons, three mage-knights, and an elf made it feel very small indeed. The elf wasn't her idea. He was some child elf that heard about Lurcher. Upon learning about the hiring of security, he applied. The school's administrators approved. He was eager to make a name for himself defending human school children or…
