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…

Only Way Out

by Tower Curator — Footstep after heavy footstep jolted Juliana awake. She immediately wished that she had stayed in blissful unconsciousness. Everything hurt. If she had thought she was in pain before, that had been nothing compared to what she now felt. Her leg had been dislocated, fingernails broken, ankle crushed, arms broken, back battered and bruised, and her head throbbed. And that was just the big things. But she was alive. A painful existence, but she existed nonetheless. If she were the more optimistic sort,…

Help from Below

by Tower Curator — "A lot of help she is," Eva mumbled as she slipped her phone back into her pocket. Deep wrinkles of thought and worry lined Genoa's face. Since picking up Juliana's cellphone, she hadn't stopped pacing up and down the street. She did pause as Eva finished her call. "Nothing?" "Nel was using the armored hunter's blood to track them, assuming it is that hunter again. He died. Plus her vision was slipping as well. She only really was able to watch them thanks to her watching them non-stop since they did…

Banishment

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…

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…

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,…

Security System

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…

Rain on a Parade

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…

Failure

by Tower Curator — It had taken about an hour for Catherine and Devon to discuss the changes to the circle. Considering that it had taken almost an entire month for Devon to design the latest version of Eva's treatment circle, that was essentially lightning fast. Either Catherine was really a genius at understanding how rituals worked and how to change them, there hadn't been all that many changes to be made, or Devon just cared so little for Catherine's safety that he wasn't too interested in checking, double checking,…

Revised Treatment

by Tower Curator — Juliana Laura Rivas flipped through the news. It had been months and there was still no sign that anything was amiss around Brakket City. The purple streaks in the sky had attracted a good amount of attention for the first month. Brakket was fairly isolated from much of the mundane world, but not so much that the sky would go unnoticed. Even had satellites not been able to pick up the anomaly, people in neighboring cities could look out the window and see the sky. It was simply too huge of an effect…
