      Saija and Srey

      Saija and Srey Cover
      by Tower Curator "Weren't you supposed to go back and visit your mother tonight?" Juliana glanced over to Shalise and shrugged. "Still plenty of tonight left." "But... why are we here?" Leaning back in the booth, Juliana snacked on a plate of chips. "There aren't many places open in the evenings." Shalise frowned, sulking slightly in her third of the booth, leaning into the corner. Her dislike of the location was understandable, though not very sensible. The Vertex club had a bit of history with Shalise. It…

      Vektul Cover
      by Tower Curator "When he said help, he was talking about Void, right?" Arachne shrugged. "What else would it be?" "Well, I don't know. He was obviously talking to me and not you. You're the one who has been given the mission, not me." "Is there something you need help with?" Arachne paused in her weaving, looking straight at Eva. "You know you only need to ask me." Flopping down on the women's ward couch, Eva shook her head. "I don't think I need help with anything. Not right now. But he might have been…

      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…
    • Uncomfortable Attentions Cover
      by Tower Curator "Welcome. To some of you, this will be a welcome back. To others, an initial greeting. "This year, we will be making history with our students and among other schools around the country. We will be blah blah blah." Eva filled in her own words in place of the new dean's speech. She already knew what was happening. For the most part, at least. Really, she didn't know why she had bothered attending. Beginning of the year speeches were never interesting, this one least of all because of her…
    • Power Overwhelming Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva snapped her eyes open. She took a deep breath, glancing around as she took in her surroundings. She was on her back, staring up at the starry sky. Arachne, Catherine, and Qrycx the carnivean all stood around her with Arachne being the closest. Hovering over her with occasional glares at the other demons, Arachne had a protective air about her. It couldn't have been too long since the end of the ritual. Pre-ritual, everything had gone roughly the same as last time. Obviously Zagan wasn't around…

      Surgery

      Surgery Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva popped into the gate room of the women's ward. As Arachne hopped off her and grew back to her full height, Eva pulled out her cellphone and sent Zoe a message stating that she had put out the fires and was taking a rest at the prison. Not entirely true, but not a lie either. At least it would keep her from worrying when Eva didn't end up at the apartments. Heading out of the gate room and into her own room, Eva added a fresh bit of blood to her warding scheme. It was somewhat annoying that she…
    • The Powers that Be Cover
      by Tower Curator Coughing twice, Zoe waved a hand in front of her face. A quick order shield had been enough to deflect most of the debris. Dust still made it through. While it was possible to make a shield airtight, it generally wasn't a good idea if she wanted to breathe for more than a few moments. Of course, she hadn't anticipated all the dirt being thrown up into the air, effectively blocking off her breathing anyway. With a whip of her dagger, Zoe quickly cleared away the dirt around her, filling the space with…

      Out Camping

      Out Camping Cover
      by Tower Curator Just as Nel had described, the camp was deserted. Halfway around the world, a small forest held a small camp. Two small-sized tents occupied a small clearing. A fire pit in the center still had some smoldering embers amidst plenty of ash. A bench and a makeshift table looked as if they had been fashioned from the surrounding woods. That and magic. With Shalise being an air mage, she would be able to use blades of wind in place of an axe. Eva wasn't sure if Shalise was adept enough at magic to do so,…
    • Meeting Adjourned Cover
      by Tower Curator After hearing Anderson's true plan---getting children to summon demons and either bind them within their bodies similar to what Shalise had done with Prax or contract with them---Eva was significantly less worried. If Anderson was trying to turn more humans into demons or even just amputating limbs to graft demon limbs on, she imagined that there would be no small amount of outrage from just about everyone. Parents, teachers, and plenty more would be rioting. Not that summoning demons was much better.…

      Broad Daylight

      Broad Daylight Cover
      by Tower Curator "How is she?" Nurse Post blinked as she looked up from a clipboard in her hands. A number of graphs and charts covered the topmost paper. Even if Eva had been standing at a proper angle to clearly see the papers, she doubted that she would understand most of it. A squiggly line here. A flat one there. Tons of words that were shorthand for something. One really had to be in the medical profession to understand any of it. Which was why she had asked. Rubbing her temple, Nurse Post shook her head…
