    • Pre-School Chores Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva stopped at the staircase and stared. It is a good thing I asked Zoe to wait outside, she thought. The book showed no one other than herself and Arachne within the building. Clearly that was only partially true. Part of a person lay halfway up the staircase to the second floor. Two legs and part of a torso. Blood splattered around the walls and ceiling, though there was no sign of anything above his shoulders. All dried to the point where Eva could only vaguely tell it was there in the first…

      Banishment

      Banishment Cover
      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…

      by Tower Curator A burning sensation ached within Arachne's legs. It was an odd feeling. A foreign feeling. She couldn't remember the last time she had any ache at all. It was a testament to how hard she was pushing herself. Allowing herself out of Eva's sight while there were troublesome events afoot was a horrible idea in hindsight. But she couldn't help it. Genoa was just so fun. She never got to go all out against anything these days. At least not without also worrying over potential collateral damage. Even…

      A Final Defense

      A Final Defense Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva's eyes snapped open. A little tingle in the back of her mind, subtle but enough to wake her up. She hadn't actually been sleeping. Not completely. Lying in bed with her eyes closed wasn't the same thing as total unconsciousness. Sleeping was something she hardly did these days. She kept it up if for no other reason than the boredom of the nights while everyone else was asleep. A small part of her wondered how the other demons handled it. Catherine probably stayed up all night, either working on her…
