Illusions

by Tower Curator — "There," Arachne said. Not that she needed to say anything. Eva could feel the flames from a block away. Particles of blood started vanishing from her control as they neared the inferno. "See anyone?" "They're still around." Arachne's long tongue darted out of her mouth to run across her lips. "I can almost taste them." "Don't get eager. If it looks like a trap, we're running." Eva focused on her blood sense. It wouldn't help if the demons had a trick like Ylva in sunlight, but it was the…

Help from Below

by Tower Curator — "A lot of help she is," Eva mumbled as she slipped her phone back into her pocket. Deep wrinkles of thought and worry lined Genoa's face. Since picking up Juliana's cellphone, she hadn't stopped pacing up and down the street. She did pause as Eva finished her call. "Nothing?" "Nel was using the armored hunter's blood to track them, assuming it is that hunter again. He died. Plus her vision was slipping as well. She only really was able to watch them thanks to her watching them non-stop since they did…

Hard Work Pays Off

by Tower Curator — Eva couldn't be more pleased with the way things were going. The second event was coming up in two days. She didn't have to participate in it. The ritual circle was nearly finished. It wouldn't be done by the time of the second event, but would definitely be done before the third. Especially if they decided to have a longer break between events for the December holidays. With Anise and Chris both helping, their progress had been through the roof. Of course, Eva still needed to find people for the…

Halloween Streets

by Tower Curator — "Terrible night, isn't it?" "Is this an attempt at small talk?" The man grumbled something under his breath. Zoe took her eyes off searching the streets and glanced at him. Wayne's eyes searched the tops of buildings as they walked down the deserted street. He, like her, was fully dressed in his usual black suit. He held a large tome open in one hand as if he was in the middle of reading it. He wasn't, of course. Zoe had never understood why he used a tome as a focus. Their storage capacity…

Halloween Club

by Tower Curator — "This is a nightmare." "How did things come to this?" Eva shared a glance with Juliana. Beads of sweat dripped down her forehead despite the cold October air. "If only you'd have done this earlier," Shalise said at their backs. The two sighed at the same time and each turned back to their current enemy. "I don't even think that one has a chest," Juliana said with a look of disgust. "This is supposed to be a school. For kids. How can they let something like this happen." "No. It just got…

Granted Eyes

by Tower Curator — "Demon of strength?" Arachne let out a long laugh. "When I kill you, I think I will be taking your title." "Fool. Such arrogance will be your demise." Arachne laughed again. As if. The carnivean only had one tentacle of any significant length remaining. And that would soon be gone. It was disappointing, actually. Carniveans were supposed to be strong. Very strong. Sure, if it managed to wrap a tentacle around anything, that thing would break off--two of Arachne's legs and most of one arm were…

Goodbyes

by Tower Curator — Eva stretched, rubbing the last vestiges of sleep from her eyes. The sky outside her window had the blue tint of pre-dawn morning. Eva smiled, glad she got up at a more reasonable time than the day before. She swung her legs out of bed and almost stepped on the sleeping Arachne. Her lithe weight would probably not even be noticed by the demon, and if it was, it sure wouldn't hurt her. Still, Eva carefully stepped over Arachne. After hopping in and out of the shower, Eva found Arachne had moved to…

Genoa Rivas

by Tower Curator — A white-robed nun stood outside each of the dormitory buildings. One in the short pathway leading to the Rickenbacker and one on the opposite end of the street in front of the Gillet. Eva froze at the sight of them. There was still a good distance between her and the dorms. She spun and headed down an alley in the entertainment area just outside of the dorms. The thick snow crunched under her feet as she ran to a secluded spot. "Arachne," she whispered, "there are Elysium nuns outside the…

Finishing Touches

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

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…
