      Encounters

      Encounters Cover
      by Tower Curator "Mortals. Free me." Juliana stared. It was a stare of pure disbelief. He couldn't be serious. She stared for another reason too. The demon before her was utterly and thoroughly ripped. Juliana had only seen one other with as awe-inspiring musculature. That, oddly enough, had also been a demon. Zagan, during his fight with the nuns, had offered a lifetime supply of eye-candy. Looking closer--without actually entering the cell--Juliana decided that Zagan was better. He was well-defined. This demon…

      Encased Cover
      by Tower Curator Arachne hissed through her teeth. Another of her legs was lying on the ground. Attacking with them had definitely been the right choice. Arms, and the hands attached to them, were just too valuable. Especially while she was weaving webs. It hurt to lose them. When Eva had amputated her legs, she had taken several anesthetics to numb herself to the pain. Arachne hadn't. And frankly, it hadn't hurt much at all. The following weeks she had spent regrowing her legs had been more annoying than any kind of…

      Emergence

      Emergence Cover
      by Tower Curator Juliana didn't bother jumping to the side to dodge the oncoming icicle. There was no need. Her earlier manipulation of reality worked perfectly. Unless, of course, the hunter deliberately made her attacks miss. That was a possibility. Not one that Juliana could understand however. So she wasn't too worried, even while watching the icicle that had been aiming directly at her head as it skimmed past the metal of her helmet. Not a single attack had actually hit though all had come close. Every missed…
    • Elysium: Augurs and Demons Cover
      by Tower Curator Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Not even impenetrable darkness indicative of a pitch black room. As expected. Searching for Nel Stirling had not produced any results over the past six months, today would be no different. If only she had the decency to leave behind a body. Annie could think of a thousand more useful things to do with her time. Ten thousand that she would rather be doing. She had started keeping a mental list. It wasn't like there was anything else to do. Even bringing a notebook to…

      Elysium Sister

      Elysium Sister Cover
      by Tower Curator A second crack tore through the alley, bringing with it a blinding light. Eva heard her master cry out in pain. The demon who tackled her quickly tore herself free and moved between the attacks and Eva. She almost charged forward, but something caused her to hesitate. Eva, on the other hand, didn't hesitate for a second. She whipped out two vials of her blood. The first was poured in a small circle, setting the radius and center point. The second vial was used to form a golf-ball sized globule…
    • Elysium Reordered Cover
      by Tower Curator Nel Stirling, formerly of the Elysium Order, augur to the Charon Chapter, stood in a position that she had never thought she would occupy. She sat at the head table in the Elysium Grand Cathedral. Not the Salem Cathedral. Not any of their other training centers. The Grand Cathedral. To the Elysium Order, there was no place more central to their power. It was within this building that the leaders resided. Within this building was the vault containing a vial of every augur's blood, ready to be given to…

      Drawing Straws

      Drawing Straws Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva reached into the large leathery bag. By a strange happenstance, she was the first to choose a marble. The first school to leave the ready area had gone to the far left, the second had gone to the far right. Third and fourth went to the left and right leaving Brakket right in the center. Right in front of the marble bag. The opening was right at waist height. Despite being able to easily see inside, Eva couldn't actually see anything. Some darkness spell was keeping everything below the lip of the…
    • Downtime Exploration Cover
      by Tower Curator Through a thin slit in a heavy metal door, Eva watched as Sawyer's body turned to ash in a high intensity fire. Bright orange light bathed over everything around, even though the only exit for the light was the small slit that Eva watched through. Copying the women's ward a second time had given Eva plenty of space to create a makeshift kiln. Every scrap of Sawyer's body was inside except for the finger that Eva had kept. Even the shards of teeth that he had spat out onto the floor. There were still…

      Down Once More

      Down Once More Cover
      by Tower Curator "Huh." Eva stared down at the blade, even ignoring the startled shout from Zoe and the sudden movement from the demons who might as well have been statues up until now. Normally---and her experience with blades so far in her life supported this fact---blades hurt when they jabbed through her. This one... didn't. Not more than a slight pinch, anyway. In addition, Eva had killed people before. A number of them. Perhaps not as many as Sawyer, but she had killed enough. And she had killed enough of them…

      Double Trouble

      Double Trouble Cover
      by Tower Curator "What did you do to Arachne?" The thing using her body spun around, whipping out its tail mere inches from Eva's face. Eva didn't flinch. Mostly because of her anger, but partially because she was so used to not moving that doing so actually felt awkward. Instead, Eva kept up her glare while trying to keep her breathing under control. This thing, this being, could probably snap her like a twig and crush her to powder as easily as Eva could step on an ant. Attacking it couldn't go over well no matter…
