      Zoe Worries

      Zoe Worries Cover
      by Tower Curator "...a whole army outside the front doors!" "At least a thousand of them." "I bet it has something to do with the girl with the eyes." "She isn't even here!" "Exactly." Zoe shot a silencing glare at the group of students in her class. It wouldn't help at all, but she at least made the effort to keep her charges under control. Rumors were already spreading from the students who had caught a glimpse outside to the ones who hadn't. Like all rumors, they were slowly being blown out of…
    • Ylva | Out of the Fire Cover
      by Tower Curator Juliana ran out of the small building titled Womens Ward. Even without asking her, Zoe could see the blond hadn't found her roommate. Truly a troublesome student. If Eva just ran off somewhere with Mr. Carter without telling anyone, Zoe would be sticking a tracking tag on the girl. If she hadn't run off... well, she would probably still be getting a tracking tag, so long as she came back in one piece. "I couldn't go into her room," Juliana said, "but I made a lot of noise at the door. I don't…

      Wrong

      Wrong Cover
      by Tower Curator "Hold on a moment," Eva said. She didn't get texts often. Usually only when there was an emergency. Either Zoe or Nel using Zoe's phone would send her something. Even rarer were actual phone calls. Right now, her phone was ringing. They had been right in the middle of their conversation about demon hunters, tactics, possible offensive avenues, and defensive security measures. Now somebody was interrupting it. Rude. Probably. Unless it was an emergency. In that case, Eva might be able to forgive…

      Women’s Ward

      Women’s Ward Cover
      by Tower Curator Zoe put on a light smile as she greeted her old teacher. "It is good to see you again, Genoa. Carlos." Juliana's father gave a light nod of his head. "I wish I could say the same." Genoa slid down her circular sunglasses to peer over the top. Zoe tried to maintain her smile. It felt strained and fake. She did not like the look she was getting. Understandable though it was. "A situation has arisen involving your daughter." "So I hear. Where is she?" "Juliana, along with her two…

      War Games

      War Games Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva was absolutely certain that Arachne wasn't actually attempting to kill her. She was only mostly certain that Genoa wasn't trying to kill her. Whatever the case, neither of them was messing around. Not that Eva could blame them. They all had been told in very plain words exactly what would happen to them should they fail to perform. Putting her back to a wall, Eva took a moment to catch her breath. Pinned between the mass of insects led by Arachne and the few but elite human mages headed by Genoa,…

      Vektul

      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…
    • 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…

      Ultimatum

      Ultimatum Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva honestly wasn't sure what was going on. Supposedly, two people were fighting her. In reality, the nun hadn't hit her once. The white fire of the Elysium Order burned through the forest. Another burst of flames would spread out and around the ground anytime Eva and Arachne got out of sight. But that was about the only thing the nun was doing. A good amount of lightning had come close. Relatively. Never quite close enough to even burn off hairs on her arms. Arachne's dodging and Eva tossing fireballs…

      Trousers

      Trousers Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva dropped out of the sky, seething with her fists clenched tight as she grit her teeth together. Her final blink had carried her over the makeshift wall of the Brakket dormitory plaza. The first thing she noticed were the arachnid legs scattered about. Arachne's dismembered legs. Perhaps the source of the disturbing feeling. Or so Eva thought until she spotted the rest of the demon, the hunter, and the doll. The hunter's curved sword was buried in Arachne's stomach. Blood boiled the moment…

      Treatment

      Treatment Cover
      by Tower Curator Hot air permeated the entire building. The pleasant kind of hot air. It wrapped around and enveloped Eva. She didn't need all the heating runes covering her clothes here. She didn't even need clothes, but she couldn't muster the energy to pull them off. Eva reclined with a soft sigh, sinking deeper into the cushions of the couch. All of her aches and pains leaked out into the leather. The couch accepted all of it without complaint. If it did complain, she might have been a little worried. Her…
