    • Nothing Ever Goes Right Cover
      by Tower Curator A final bolt of lightning hit the blob of flesh that had taken the place of Vektul. With it came perhaps the loudest sound that Eva had ever heard. A constant roar of thunder for several seconds until it finally faded to a faint buzzing. Rather than merely vanishing into aether as normal lightning bolts did, this one persisted. It burned brighter and brighter. Eva wasn't quite willing to glance away. Vektul's mass appeared to have fallen into some sort of torpor, but Eva wouldn't count on it staying…
    • No Rest for the Demons Cover
      by Tower Curator Catherine sat back on the couch in the women's ward. With her cellphone in hand, she started jotting down notes. Important observations about the previous twenty-four hours that she felt vital enough to jot down. She had nearly perfect memory. The notes were just in case she did manage to forget something. As unlikely as that was. What she really needed to do was to print them out and send them to her domain. The cellphone was an amazing tool that the humans had come up with, but it was no replacement…

      New Recruits

      New Recruits Cover
      by Tower Curator Ylva and Nel popped into the room, hand in hand. Nel in her dark robes and Ylva in her white sheer dress. Eva jumped. Still leaning back in her chair with her feet propped up, she just about lost her balance and fell backwards. She managed to save herself with a quick blink to her feet just in front of the table. To the best of her memory, Ylva had never teleported on her own before. She didn't know why she hadn't expected her to be able to. Given Ylva's power level, it would be more surprising if…

      New Arrivals

      New Arrivals Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva's forehead throbbed. Not horribly. She had suffered through worse headaches before. The ritual to share Sawyer's senses for one and anytime enigmas were around for another. And this current headache was already subsiding to unnoticeable levels. The only reason the headache was special at all was the cause. A dozen demons were making their way from the outskirts of town towards Brakket Academy. Altogether, they weren't so bad. It was just that they had all come into Eva's range at the same…

      Nel’s Bad Day

      Nel’s Bad Day Cover
      by Tower Curator "Abomination receives treatment for hand maintenance," Nel mumbled to herself as she typed out the words. She had no idea what she actually saw, and she didn't care. Nel doubted it was anything terrible based on the girl's actions over the last four months. Whatever was going on there, she didn't want to give any more reason for Sister Cross to think about replacing her. "Besides, it might actually be treatment for her hands." She didn't type those words. Nel moved back to her altar. At first…

      Nel in Hiding

      Nel in Hiding Cover
      by Tower Curator "An attack?" "Indeed." Eva watched her master's reactions carefully as he soaked up the details of what happened. Zoe Baxter seemed calm while delivering the news, but her master's heart rate jumped. Arachne stood behind Eva's chair with her arms wrapped around Eva, stoic in her expressions as usual. Her heart tube thing didn't change its pulses in the slightest. She was almost sad that she had missed it. It sounded like a lot of fun to watch. It was her first day out of the infirmary and…

      Nel

      Nel Cover
      by Tower Curator Nel huddled in the corner of Devon's cell house while the two argued out a plan. A seizure ran through her body. Nel avoided collapsing thanks solely to her already being crouched down. She tried hard to keep her eyes off of all of the demons they had summoned. It wasn't easy. Her eyes wanted to look. It'd be worse if she connected to the source. As it was without being connected, she retained some control. The female was the easiest to look at. Although whatever she was made from was inhuman,…

      Neighbors

      Neighbors Cover
      by Tower Curator "We decline your request." Eva blinked, not quite sure what to say. Her hands moved from the floor where she knelt to rub back and forth in front of her chest. That had not been the response that she had expected or wanted. "Rest assured, We do not decline out of malice." Eva looked up at Ylva. The apartment adjacent to Zoe's was a far cry from the splendor of Ylva's domain. Everything was entirely mundane. The kitchen appliances were beige colored and looked like they belonged in the…
    • Near-Death Experience Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva woke with a sheen of sweat coating her body. There was a twisting in her stomach, something she couldn't quite explain. It wasn't hunger. More like disgust or revulsion. Something was wrong. Throwing her blankets off, Eva took a look around her room in the women's ward. Aside from the messy bed, everything was neatly organized. Her dresser held all of the various knickknacks that she had acquired over the past few years. None had been moved. Her room was just as she remembered leaving it the…
    • Musings on Students Cover
      by Tower Curator It was no wonder that Zoe Baxter had run off. Human children were menaces. The entire lot of them. Even the quiet ones. In fact, they were the worst of all. The others tended to be more honest with their disinterest. They would twiddle with their phones, or their thumbs, or simply ignore her while talking--loudly, more often than not--with their friends. The quiet ones sat, taking notes in their notebooks. They waited for dismissal before gathering their supplies and they always turned on their…
