      A Plan to Escape

      A Plan to Escape Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva came down into her domain hard. It was supposed to catch her, and probably would have had she not considered her current situation so urgent. Her domain compensated for her urgency by not slowing her down. That was fine. Her legs could take the abuse. Eva rolled out of the way and glued her eyes up to where she had come from. She didn't want to take any chances that the woman had followed her. This nagging feeling in the corner of her mind told her that the moment she turned, she'd be…

      Pursuit

      Pursuit Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva wasn't jealous. Not the slightest little bit. Prax's domain was something special. Willie's domain had been... less than entrancing. His theater was fancy enough, on the inside at least. But at no point could Eva recall just stopping and staring with a gaping mouth. The only thing of any real note was his golden bee statues. Those just didn't appeal to Eva. The first time she had entered Ylva's domain, she was struck dumb with a sense of awe. The bottomless pit and the storm clouds overhead…

      Domain Maintenance

      Domain Maintenance Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva's first thoughts upon landing on the sandy beach could be summed up in three simple words: What a mess. She glanced around her domain with a sinking feeling in her stomach. That unpleasant feeling that she had felt while enigmas were still 'alive' permeated the place. It didn't take long to figure out why. As Eva moved up the beach to the entrance to the alternate women's ward, she stopped and froze with a gaping mouth. Mess was putting it lightly. Just about every one of the trap doors had…

      Complications

      Complications Cover
      by Tower Curator Irene sat in her seat, shifting back and forth. Her first day back in diablery class had her feeling intensely nervous. She had been the one to cause the brief intermission in their lessons. Surprisingly enough, the rest of the class wasn't staring at her in one way or another. She had expected a glare or two at least. She did almost cause them injury--from their perspective. Or worse. Perhaps those that were the type to glare had already been kicked out of class. Those that were left tended to…

      Disturbance in the Women’s Ward

      Disturbance in the Women’s Ward Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva rolled a bloodstone between her fingers. Aside from the bloodstone embedded in the hilt of her dagger, this was her last bloodstone. And it was one of the good ones, too. The ones from the museum that had a drastically longer shelf life than they should. As such, despite having the ritual circle set out and all the reagents collected, Eva was loath to actually put it to use. According to the ritual tome, what she currently had set out should give her a one-way connection to the target, allowing…

      Examinations

      Examinations Cover
      by Tower Curator "Excuse my brother. He isn't so high-strung normally." Eva pulled back from Juliana and turned her eyes to the man she had called Erich. That explained the vague likeness to Genoa that she had noticed. Yet he lacked all of the relative frailty that embodied Carlos. Which didn't actually mean anything. Juliana wasn't frail in the slightest. She had inherited her father's height impairment while taking after her mother in every way that mattered. Probably a good thing. She might not have survived…

      Discussions and Waiting

      Discussions and Waiting Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva watched as Zoe left with the body of Simon. Somehow, Eva was hoping that she wasn't about to return the body to the hospital. Its condition was far from pristine. Seeing it would probably cause a lot of grief if he had anyone that cared about him. Perhaps returning his ashes would be the best course of action. Brushing his hands together to get rid of chalk dust, Devon stood from the circle. "Everything is drawn correctly," he said. "Seems a sick kid won't do. At least, not one that sick." With a…

      Trouble in Prison Town

      Trouble in Prison Town Cover
      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…

      A Read Letter Day

      A Read Letter Day Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva tossed a book over her shoulder. Worthless. It didn't matter how many tomes she went though, none of them described anything remotely similar to the enigmas. A number of creatures had violet blood. Humans could have blood that appeared purple under the right lighting and oxygen levels. A very select few mundane creatures even had natural purple blood. As such, blood wasn't much to go off of. Not for her at least. Wayne had taken a sample from the iced enigma to use in alchemy and regular…

      Patched Up

      Patched Up Cover
      by Tower Curator "Eva." The girl in question froze solid. Almost literally. The ambient temperature dropped faster than a lead weight in water. It reached the point where Eva could see her own breath. With a stiff back and tense muscles, she turned around. Her hastily fashioned crutch clanked on the marble tiles during her maneuver. Putting on a polite smile, she performed a cautious bow. "Ylva." "You came through Hell." "I did," Eva said, suppressing a wince. "And I swear, it is not my intention to proceed…
