      Rain on a Parade

      Rain on a Parade Cover
      by Tower Curator "Well that... that... that just rains on my parade!" Clement pulled the binoculars away from his face to glance towards his partner. Gertrude was leaning half over the edge of the roof with the visor from his armor pressed against her eyes. Her mouth was twisted into a pout. With a gentle hand, Clement pulled her back. She wouldn't die from the fall. They were on top of some sort of dancing club for the students to waste time in, it was only a few stories high. The idea that she would even be injured…

      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…

      Willie

      Willie Cover
      by Tower Curator "Mom!" Juliana jumped to her feet. Fear beat in her chest. That was... a lot of blood. Eva pulled out her black dagger and jammed it into her mother's chest. Juliana almost started spouting a stream of profanity before she remembered what that dagger was for. A moment later, the constant stream of blood stopped flowing from the arm-sized hole in her mother's chest. While the blood stopped, the wound did not heal. "Eva, she is old." Arachne moved closer as she shrunk down to her human…

      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…

      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…

      Obelisk

      Obelisk Cover
      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…

      Distant Visions

      Distant Visions Cover
      by Tower Curator Nel paced in front of the door that led out of Ylva's domain. The last time she left the domain, a series of bad things happened. Mostly to her. But this time was different. Right? Lady Ylva had threatened the Elysium Order, so they shouldn't come after her. Eva had her blood wards up around the entire prison, so no one should be able to teleport in and kidnap her. And if someone started unraveling the wards, Nel was going to sprint at full speed for Ylva's domain, sky cracking or not. Nel stopped…

      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…

      Security System

      Security System Cover
      by Tower Curator At least nothing is on fire, Eva thought with a welling of relief deep inside. In fact, better than nothing being on fire, nothing looked damaged at all. Everything in the women's ward was just where she had left it. Outside, well, the prison was a fairly large place. Eva was mostly certain that everything was normal. Her blood wards gave her a view of the place in a manner reminiscent of her using clouds of blood to see and through that, she couldn't see anything amiss. Neither could she sense the…

      Banishment

      Banishment Cover
      by Tower Curator Just before the bull slammed into him, it stepped on a bit of rubble. The rubble moved, causing its hoof to slip. Clement's fist, and the ring on his finger, went straight over the devil's head. Using the enchantments on his boots, Clement hopped back before the bulk of the bull could crash into him. He shook off the brief sensation of nausea---a sensation that had been getting worse as the fight went on---and took a moment to catch his breath. The devil being far enough away and still picking…
