      Enigma

      Enigma Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva glided to a stop just outside of what she had taken to calling the alternate women's ward. The women's ward of her domain. And something was wrong. She could feel it. Some uncanny sense of sickness in her stomach that told her something was wrong. It had nothing to do with her gliding. Whenever Eva entered her domain, she never had to fear. Everyone else who came in fell from some height. After tiring of having to stop her fall every time, Zoe had created a sort of air cushion to land…

      Encased

      Encased Cover
      by Tower Curator Arachne hissed through her teeth. Another of her legs was lying on the ground. Attacking with them had definitely been the right choice. Arms, and the hands attached to them, were just too valuable. Especially while she was weaving webs. It hurt to lose them. When Eva had amputated her legs, she had taken several anesthetics to numb herself to the pain. Arachne hadn't. And frankly, it hadn't hurt much at all. The following weeks she had spent regrowing her legs had been more annoying than any kind of…

      Emergence

      Emergence Cover
      by Tower Curator Juliana didn't bother jumping to the side to dodge the oncoming icicle. There was no need. Her earlier manipulation of reality worked perfectly. Unless, of course, the hunter deliberately made her attacks miss. That was a possibility. Not one that Juliana could understand however. So she wasn't too worried, even while watching the icicle that had been aiming directly at her head as it skimmed past the metal of her helmet. Not a single attack had actually hit though all had come close. Every missed…

      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…

      Drawing Straws

      Drawing Straws Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva reached into the large leathery bag. By a strange happenstance, she was the first to choose a marble. The first school to leave the ready area had gone to the far left, the second had gone to the far right. Third and fourth went to the left and right leaving Brakket right in the center. Right in front of the marble bag. The opening was right at waist height. Despite being able to easily see inside, Eva couldn't actually see anything. Some darkness spell was keeping everything below the lip of the…
    • Downtime Exploration Cover
      by Tower Curator Through a thin slit in a heavy metal door, Eva watched as Sawyer's body turned to ash in a high intensity fire. Bright orange light bathed over everything around, even though the only exit for the light was the small slit that Eva watched through. Copying the women's ward a second time had given Eva plenty of space to create a makeshift kiln. Every scrap of Sawyer's body was inside except for the finger that Eva had kept. Even the shards of teeth that he had spat out onto the floor. There were still…

      Down Once More

      Down Once More Cover
      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…

      Double Trouble

      Double Trouble Cover
      by Tower Curator "What did you do to Arachne?" The thing using her body spun around, whipping out its tail mere inches from Eva's face. Eva didn't flinch. Mostly because of her anger, but partially because she was so used to not moving that doing so actually felt awkward. Instead, Eva kept up her glare while trying to keep her breathing under control. This thing, this being, could probably snap her like a twig and crush her to powder as easily as Eva could step on an ant. Attacking it couldn't go over well no matter…
    • 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…
    • 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…
