      Zoe Worries

      Zoe Worries Cover
      by Tower Curator "...a whole army outside the front doors!" "At least a thousand of them." "I bet it has something to do with the girl with the eyes." "She isn't even here!" "Exactly." Zoe shot a silencing glare at the group of students in her class. It wouldn't help at all, but she at least made the effort to keep her charges under control. Rumors were already spreading from the students who had caught a glimpse outside to the ones who hadn't. Like all rumors, they were slowly being blown out of…

      Transference

      Transference Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva vanished. Irene vanished. Worst of all, she was in history class. Easily the most boring class at Brakket. Juliana found most of the practical classes to be fairly dull except on the odd occasion that they let her cast magic at her level instead of the class' level. Zagan's class turned out to be one of the better classes in that regard. Zoe's class was actually her favorite. She often challenged Juliana to think in new and unusual ways. History tended to be the exact opposite. Professor…

      Security

      Security Cover
      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…

      Uneasy Days

      Uneasy Days Cover
      by Tower Curator The clouds were unnatural. Yesterday had been bright and sunny. Not a cloud for miles around. Eva wasn't in the habit of watching the news, but she imagined the forecast would have been sunny for the next several days. The sheer level of overcast hanging over the school's campus--and only the school's campus--had several students skipping school. It was far too ominous for their tastes. Eva might have agreed had she not known the cause. While she hadn't specifically asked for clouds, it could only…

      Marionette

      Marionette Cover
      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…

      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…

      The Imp

      The Imp Cover
      by Tower Curator Brakket had become polluted since this time the previous year. At least three demons freely walked the streets. Their stench wafted through the streets as a dead skunk on the side of the road might. It wasn't so much a smell as it was sense, but that was just how Arachne explained it. Still, the news worried Eva. There were apparently three demons running around where Eva was certain there had been only two. That was not including Arachne herself. There were traces of others. According to Arachne,…

      Bullfight

      Bullfight Cover
      by Tower Curator Things were going to Hell in a handbasket. Lynn Cross only wished the situation wasn’t so literal. Something went very wrong somewhere along the line. Royalty from Hell itself targeting the Elysium Order. Not just any part of the order, but Charon Chapter. The idea would have made Lynn laugh under other circumstances. Under less dire circumstances. Now the whole town had shown up to burn the order out-of-town like some sort of puritan witch hunt. Fools. The lot of them. The town was…

      Zoe Experiments

      Zoe Experiments Cover
      by Tower Curator Zoe Baxter had been feeling off-balance the entire day. There was a weight in her pocket unlike anything she'd felt before. It didn't hold back her movements or tear through the threads holding her pocket together. For all she knew, the weight was nothing but her imagination. Symbolic, most likely. Cursed metal, otherwise. When she first put the ring on in the presence of Ylva, it shrunk down and latched onto her finger. She nearly went into a panic. It took a lot of self-control not to pull out…

      Confrontation

      Confrontation Cover
      by Tower Curator "I need a shower." "You say that every other session." "Every other session is a workout session," Shelby wiped her forehead on her sleeve. "Look at this. Its gross." Jordan brushed her arm off to one side. "If it is so gross, don't rub it in my face." "Don't be such a baby. It is only sweat." "You're the one who called it gross in the first place." Shalise giggled at her friends' antics. Since Professor Kines' combative magic club started, the pair had grown closer. Shelby always hung…
