The Meeting

by Tower Curator — "I don't see why this is necessary," Devon complained. He struggled tying his tie. He last wore a tie around the same time he last participated in a demonology circle. Probably further back than forty or fifty years. And that had been a clip on. "Zoe Baxter is a very precise woman. You don't want to look like a schlemiel." "I'm supposed to examine a possible dark artifact. Not looking to date some girl." "Well," Eva crossed her arms, "I don't want to be pitied as the poor kid who was mentored…

Juliana Explores and Devon Arrives

by Tower Curator — Eva's bed was empty once again this morning. Ever since she disappeared for two days a few weeks ago, Eva spent the night someplace else about once a week. And she wouldn't say where. If Juliana had to guess, Eva ran around with her mentor going on fun adventures and bounty hunting. But the girl didn't trust Juliana. She avoided, dodged, deflected, or otherwise ignored any questions about herself. The times she did answer were either obvious lies or so vague they could describe anyone. Then…

The Airplane

by Tower Curator — "A cat carrier?" The security agent quirked an eyebrow. "It just has a few books in it," Eva said with a shrug. "I'm planning on coming back in a car and bringing a cat with me. I figured I could use it as a carry-on for the flight." Too much information? Did I offer an explanation too fast? Eva suppressed a nervous swallow. If she was caught, there would definitely be problems. When the officer didn't say anything, Eva prodded, "is there a problem with that?" "No, I suppose not. Run it through…

The Hospital

by Tower Curator — Sunlight crept through the second floor of the abandoned retirement home. It prowled through the corridors until it came to the last room. Ignoring the blood wards and avoidance runes, it pounced on the sleeping girl. Eva groaned and pulled her covers over her eyes. She slept through her alarm and school with it, only to be awoken by the cruel morning sun. She missed some of the final tests for the year, yet somehow school just didn't feel as important with all the events of yesterday. Besides, what…

Elysium Sister

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…
