      Juliana in the Dorm

      Juliana in the Dorm Cover
      by Tower Curator An awkward air hung about the usual group. No one talked, no one laughed. Everyone sat around picking at their food. Everyone except for Max. He had his usual double helping of refried beans and a side of string beans. Eva wasn't sure what was up with everyone. Juliana, she could understand. The girl had barely spoken two words since Eva refused to talk about blood magics or demonology. She didn't think she had done anything to the others. None of them asked about Shalise. Either they already knew…

      The Crypt

      The Crypt Cover
      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

      The Book Cover
      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…

      The Meeting

      The Meeting Cover
      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

      Juliana Explores and Devon Arrives Cover
      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…

      Elysium Sister

      Elysium Sister Cover
      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…

      Zoe Baxter

      Zoe Baxter Cover
      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…
