Development in Treatment

by Tower Curator — Eva stepped out of the women's ward gate room to find a corpse lying on her couch. Somewhat unusual. Not exactly what Eva had been hoping to find immediately after teleporting home. Especially because she was still feeling somewhat wobbly and wanted the couch to herself. Slumping into one of the chairs, Eva sent a glare in the corpse's direction. The corpse didn't even look up from her book. "Curls today? Your hair was straight at the cathedral." The vampire sat up on the couch, resting the…

Clean Up

by Tower Curator — Irene stood outside, enjoying the bright sun beating down on her skin. Brakket Academy just didn't get enough sun. Doubly so given that the last two months had purple streaks in the sky. They were disturbing and unnatural. Most of her time had been spent inside as much as possible. As if that would save her from anything. Shaking her head, Irene put thoughts of Brakket Academy out of her mind. She was back home in New York and a safe distance away from everything troubling. Probably. Demons…

Vacation

by Tower Curator — Late May air in Florida felt sticky and viscous. Like wading through soup. It was almost nauseating to breathe in. Air up in Montana was dry. Even in the middle of winter with snow covering the ground, the air remained dry. Eva's first breath after teleporting in had felt almost like she was drowning. Even after spending a few days wandering the streets, her skin still felt far too moist. Like she was in constant need of a shower. She had this constant sheen coating her like sweat. Even on top of…

Split

by Tower Curator — Shalise jumped to her feet, ready for another attack. Lynn was at her side in an instant. It was somewhat off-putting. Lynn's lightning and fire was far more effective at dealing with the enigmas than anything Shalise could put out. Sure, her muscles were strong and afforded her a certain level of toughness that she would otherwise lack, but not a single one of the creatures had actually made it within grappling range since Eva had brought along Lynn. She shouldn't be complaining, but Lynn just…

Cool Down

by Tower Curator — The tension in Irene's muscles had to be reaching their peak. She felt like she had been exercising nonstop for the past two hours. Her body couldn't possibly tense up any further. Every impact against the shackles she had set up only caused her grip on her wand to tighten, proving that notion wrong. Every high-pitched whine had her arms shaking just a tiny bit more than they were before. Every cannon blast that followed the whine had her ears ringing and her vision blurring for a second or two…

Cathedral Exit

by Tower Curator — Zoe dove to the side, ducking into the white room while narrowly avoiding the returned lightning from the stairwell. While her own lightning might not have been the most powerful thing she could have thrown, she had serious misgivings about killing people who were just doing their jobs. Especially when she was the one breaking and entering with the intent to steal priceless artifacts. The Elysium Order was under no such hesitations. White lightning that only narrowly missed colliding with Zoe hit the…

To the Obelisk

by Tower Curator — Sister Abbey had turned out useful after all. The door to the next staircase had been not only locked, but warded as well. Said wards went far over Eva's head. She knew her blood wards and some runic equivalents to certain wards, and that was about it. She was fairly certain that the wards were beyond Zoe's expertise as well. At least the ones specific to the Elysium Order. Regular thaumaturgical wards, Zoe could probably have taken down herself. With study, Eva had no doubt that Zoe would have been…

Into the Cathedral

by Tower Curator — Three things made getting into the Elysium Cathedral much easier than it had any right to be. The first was the map. Drawn by Nel both from memory and from scrying, it had possible routes to the relic chamber along with some annotations about which directions would have them encounter how much resistance. Most of it was guesswork and estimations. Nel had to remain behind to prepare the salt, so she couldn't give real-time updates. The nuns could and would move around and invalidate most of her…

Ready for Theft

by Tower Curator — "Wayne isn't coming with us?" Eva asked as she shook off the icy cold of Zoe's method of teleportation. Digging her claws into the brick wall of the building they had appeared next to, she pulled herself into a proper standing position. "I thought you said he would be here." "He will be. He just had to make a brief stop somewhere else first." Rubbing her claws up and down her arms, Eva watched an equally shaky Arachne as she unfolded herself from her smaller spider form. Without a gate nearby,…

Supply Run

by Tower Curator — Zoe stopped before a well-worn wooden door with a familiar brass handle. She pushed the door open, fully expecting to be welcomed into the bar and parlor by Tom's smiling face. A bright light had her wincing away the second she stepped inside. It took her mind a moment to catch on to the fact that something was wrong. The bar was never brightly lit. Lights were kept perpetually dim. Tom was not a mage, but she had often wondered if he didn't have some sixth sense for incoming customers. The lights…
