Zoe Baxter

by Tower Curator — Eva crept closer just as the sun dipped below the horizon. The only lights on were the front living room and the basement. That didn't bode well. The basement light was never used unless daddy was entertaining a guest. None of the guests were ever good news. Eva hopped over the waist-high old-fashioned iron fence and walked to the back door. A peek through the back door window showed an empty dining room. Eva took a quick glance around before stepping into the house. Sounds of laughter and the…

Void Domain

by Tower Curator — Devon stalked around the prison courtyard, staring at the ritual circle drawn out where there had once been a basketball court. Eva's treatment circle. Likely the very final one. He doubted that it was truly necessary. Taking a sample of her blood and examining it with a few spells, Devon had found nothing human about her. He couldn't be sure if it had been her actions during the ritual---which he hadn't seen with his own eyes---or if Void had interfered after pulling her down to Hell. Or perhaps it was…

Unruly Guests

by Tower Curator — Eva stopped pacing in front of the makeshift cell for the enigma-like creature. Actually, it wasn't all that makeshift. Maybe a little run-down and worn out, but it was a genuine prison cell. They had enough of them around the prison to spare, so Eva had insisted. Originally, she had wanted the creature to be kept within the solitary confinement building. It was isolated from the rest of the prison and had fairly heavy-duty doors and walls. Devon, in his infinite wisdom, had decided that he could handle…

Uneasy Days

by Tower Curator — The clouds were unnatural. Yesterday had been bright and sunny. Not a cloud for miles around. Eva wasn't in the habit of watching the news, but she imagined the forecast would have been sunny for the next several days. The sheer level of overcast hanging over the school's campus--and only the school's campus--had several students skipping school. It was far too ominous for their tastes. Eva might have agreed had she not known the cause. While she hadn't specifically asked for clouds, it could only…

Trouble in Prison Town

by Tower Curator — "They thought I had lied to them. Led them into a trap." Shalise started at the anger in Sister Cross' words. "So they threw you into prison?" Lynn shook her head. "After the public relations disaster with the riot involving my chapter, my augur disappearing, and the failure of the inquisitorial squad after being briefed by me, they stripped me of command. "Leading them into a trap was just an excuse to dispose of me. I warned them about the devil-class demon and his involvement in Sister…

Treatment

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…

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…

The Crypt

by Tower Curator — "Damnit Arachne you damn demon," Devon shouted. Things quickly descended to chaos in the small room. Eva's master had thrown himself to the floor. He clutched one hand with the other. An arrow poked through to the other side of his hand. "This is the sixth damn time you've done this." Juliana, to her credit, jumped at the action. She erected a large barrier to cover most of the doorway and was launching large chunks of earth at their attackers. "The girl wasn't even in line of sight of the…

The Book

by Tower Curator — A chilly breeze ran over the dormitory rooftop. Eva shivered. The early sunsets and low temperatures in mid September were nothing like Florida. She had purchased pants, but hadn't expected to need them until November or December at least. At this rate, Eva would need to go out and buy some long underwear. Or perhaps look into magical methods of keeping warm. Surely they existed. If not, her runes hadn't failed her yet. She'd just use the same runes that heated her shower water. In contrast to the…

Teleport Home

by Tower Curator — It took most of the rest of the day for Eva to finally shake herself out of her stupor. After having a few minutes to calm down, Lucy's domain probably hadn't been the worst thing ever. It was close, but not the worst. The tentacles weren't even that bad. Eva could stand tentacles. That monster covered in holes on the other hand... Another shudder wracked Eva's body at the thought. Whatever it was, Eva wouldn't mind never seeing it again. At the moment, Eva was assuming both the tentacles and the…
