    • Finishing Touches Cover
      by Tower Curator Hands clasped behind her back, Eva walked around the completed ritual circle. Arachne followed along at her side, as usual, and Zoe had joined in as well. Catherine flew overhead, snapping pictures of the entire thing. They had a few changes to make that Catherine pointed out as errors. After her final check, the circle would be ready. Ready. An odd thought. They would summon Void. Void would fix the sky. Maybe send Life back into its natural dormancy. And then who knew what? It was an odd feeling. She…
    • Finishing Touches Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva paced back and forth, trudging through a section of cold damp ground with every step. After ensuring that hunters weren't going to jump out of the woodwork and attack her or the ritual circle, she had set to clearing away the dome of snow. The snow was all gone. She had even cleared it enough to allow a decent path outside the ward. Yet the melted snow had to go somewhere. With the winter-chilled ground hard and cold, it turned the dirt to a freezing mud all too quickly. In fact, the mud was getting…

      Failure Cover
      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,…

      Extra Lessons Cover
      by Tower Curator "F D P L T C E O," Shalise said without hesitation. "Good," Professor Baxter said. "Next line down?" "P E Z D I O E T O." "Close. Still, better vision than almost any normal person." Professor Baxter shut off the projector. "Keep practicing that spell and I might have to pull out the air mage chart." Shalise canceled the spell. Her vision went dark and she could barely hear the professor talking. No, it didn't go dark. Her brain just needed a reboot and adjust to unenhanced senses. It…

      Excerpt: Planes Cover
      by Tower Curator An excerpt from Supernatural Flora, Fauna, and Things that Just Do Not Fit by Carlos T. Rivas: How is one to classify magical life? Mundane scientists begin with deciding whether or not the item of their interest is living. A reasonable starting point. They then categorize it based on its characteristics. Is it an animal? A plant? Fungus? And so on and so forth. They then further divide it down a list of taxonomic ranks until they end up with a the item's scientific name. However, mundane…

      Examinations Cover
      by Tower Curator "Excuse my brother. He isn't so high-strung normally." Eva pulled back from Juliana and turned her eyes to the man she had called Erich. That explained the vague likeness to Genoa that she had noticed. Yet he lacked all of the relative frailty that embodied Carlos. Which didn't actually mean anything. Juliana wasn't frail in the slightest. She had inherited her father's height impairment while taking after her mother in every way that mattered. Probably a good thing. She might not have survived…

      Evaleen Spencer Cover
      by Tower Curator A friendly chime rang throughout the office as the door closed. "Just a moment," called a voice from the back room. After a brief scuffle of footsteps, the owner of the voice appeared next to the front counter. "Ah, Eva. Good to see you again," the woman said, "and who have you got there? Another stray?" Eva shrugged her shoulders, hefting the sleeping kitten in her arms upwards. "Not a stray this time. His collar says 'Mr. Mist' but there is no owner information." "I can't say I've seen him…

      Evacuation

      Evacuation Cover
      by Tower Curator Wayne kept his fireball steadily humming in front of the two of them. A warning that he could and would protect himself at any sign of hostility. She, in turn, had one arm linked around his like they were a couple. Her other arm kept Zoe pressed against her chest. Despite his growing tension, Serena was the picture of relaxation. She leaned her head against his arm, knowing yet uncaring of the flames just inches away. A show of power? Or stupidity. Either way, she hadn't attacked him yet. Wayne was…

      Escape

      Escape Cover
      by Tower Curator "Stop," 'Shalise' said. She dug a hand into Juliana's shoulder and pressed her up against the wall. Six demons of varying size and shape ran past without a second glance in their direction. All hurried on down the corridor towards the crystal room. Just like the last three groups had. Prax held her for another few seconds, completely ignoring the metal flowing around his fingers. Juliana couldn't be entirely certain when that had happened. She only noticed that she had activated her ferrokinesis…

      Enigma

      Enigma Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva glided to a stop just outside of what she had taken to calling the alternate women's ward. The women's ward of her domain. And something was wrong. She could feel it. Some uncanny sense of sickness in her stomach that told her something was wrong. It had nothing to do with her gliding. Whenever Eva entered her domain, she never had to fear. Everyone else who came in fell from some height. After tiring of having to stop her fall every time, Zoe had created a sort of air cushion to land…
