Beacon

by Tower Curator — "You really can't leave?" Eva shook her head. Taking one step forward, she fell through the asphalt as if it were nothing more than an illusion and splashed into the waters of Hell. Zoe blinked, glancing left and right to try to find out where she went. Eva took a step back before her professor could panic, she moved back onto the island proper. Which only caused Zoe to jump back with a slight gasp. Closing her eyes momentarily as she let out a short sigh, she said, "You aren't just blinking away and…

Press Conference

by Tower Curator — After ensuring that she was indeed alone within her domain---she hadn't found any enigmas, humans, or demons wandering around, nor had she sensed the presence of any---Eva returned to the common room to further inspect the column sticking through the roof. As it turns out, it wasn't a column. All four sides angled inwards ever so slightly up until high above the roof where the angle bent sharply towards a central point. She had searched every inch that she could see and found nothing. No markings or…

Obelisk

by Tower Curator — Catherine snapped a quick picture of the ritual circle Devon had devised to close the portals. It could be handy in the future given her other plans. For the moment, it had served its purpose. Magic now spent, the faint glow dimmed and was extinguished, plunging the entrance to Brakket Academy in the dark of the night. As it should be. Her phone's clock and the light of the sky now matched without the portals flooding daylight everywhere. She scanned the dark, starry sky---cleared of any clouds by the…

Pest Removal

by Tower Curator — Devon strode into the Brakket Academy main lobby area with two demons in tow. Once upon a time, doing something so brazen would have gotten him killed without a doubt. Who in their right mind would ever allow a demon summoner and demons into a school? How times had changed. His weren't even the only demons he had spotted around the school. He had spotted a capra demon disguised as a student turning one of the many enigmas into minced meat just outside the entrance to the school. A few nearby human…

KNEEL

by Tower Curator — Eva left Devon behind to finish his ritual design and to continue managing the defense of the prison. There wasn't much to defend. Devon himself and whatever research notes he might have had lying around. Eva didn't think that the enigmas would be too interested in a bunch of notebooks and papers, but who knew with them. As for Eva, she didn't think that she had left anything irreplaceable around. Most important things were over at the dormitory. Which, if she was being honest, was probably under attack…

Back in Record Time

by Tower Curator — Zoe stared at the spot where the portal had been. She had been too slow. Nothing of Hell remained behind, just the smooth marble-like stone that made up the majority of the ritual circle. Not even blood remained within the portal's boundaries. Everything that was Eva was gone. A second portal had opened to swallow her legs---or what was left of them---though Zoe hadn't paid that portal so much attention. She had been focused solely on Eva's wide red eyes. She had been too slow. Zoe knelt, hand on…

Down Once More

by Tower Curator — "Huh." Eva stared down at the blade, even ignoring the startled shout from Zoe and the sudden movement from the demons who might as well have been statues up until now. Normally---and her experience with blades so far in her life supported this fact---blades hurt when they jabbed through her. This one... didn't. Not more than a slight pinch, anyway. In addition, Eva had killed people before. A number of them. Perhaps not as many as Sawyer, but she had killed enough. And she had killed enough of them…

Huh

by Tower Curator — Eva's eyes snapped open to find the stone surface of the ritual circle, still glowing in a vibrant violet light. She wasn't sure when she had closed her eyes. A deep rumbling in the ground beneath her feet had pulled her out of her torpor. Seeing the ritual circle sent a jolt through Eva's body. She couldn't believe that she had fallen asleep. Straining the muscles in her neck, she barely managed to look straight forwards. And her head ached every moment of the way. She only just got to see…

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…

Ultimatum

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…
