      Book Two Epilogue

      Book Two Epilogue Cover
      by Tower Curator You saved my life. I'll spare yours. This one time. Do not test my goodwill. Eva frowned as Arachne read the three lines again. There was no signature, but it didn't take a lot of guesses to figure out the sender. Eva could only recall saving one life in her recent memory. Maybe. Zagan agreed to not kill her. As long as he was planning on following through with that, Eva didn't actually need to interfere. How Sister Cross got the note onto her pillow without either waking Eva or alerting…

      A Vampire, a Demon, and a Nun Walk into a Bar… Cover
      by Tower Curator If Eva had been regretting the ritual before, she was now thinking that it just might be the death of her. Sawyer was still dissecting corpses around the ritual ring. By the looks of things, he would be at it for a while. Which gave Eva plenty of time to focus on the events around her, despite the queasy feeling it gave her. As they moved, first to a van and then from the van to a small smoke-filled bar, Eva held on to Nel. Both for support and because she had decided to wear her blindfold. While…

      Beacon

      Beacon Cover
      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…

      Snapped Back to Reality

      Snapped Back to Reality Cover
      by Tower Curator Finally Blood flowed out to fill the vacancy where Eva's legs used to be. Enough time had passed that she could form nearly full legs with the amount of blood that she had. They might have been slightly thinner than Arachne's legs, but that wouldn't impact their ability to carry her around in the slightest. After a few more days, she should have enough blood for a proper set of arms and legs. Eva glanced to the side of her leather seat---modeled after the most comfortable chair in Brakket Academy's…

      Press Conference

      Press Conference Cover
      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…

      Heart of Stone

      Heart of Stone Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva opened her eyes, surprised to find she had eyes to open after watching the avatar being torn apart in the walls of the teleportation tunnel. She had fully expected to be torn apart as well. Even if Void reclaimed her, she would still have awoken in that void where nothing existed save for her mind. Awaking in a familiar place, staring at a familiar cracked sandstone ceiling, Eva let out a soft sigh. The women's ward. Her own bed. Definitely a far cry from the endless abyss that had been her earlier…

      Pest Removal

      Pest Removal Cover
      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…

      There Can Be Only One

      There Can Be Only One Cover
      by Tower Curator "Kneel." Across the entire ritual circle, everyone reacted in some way or another. Well, everyone except for Saija. Being passed out apparently afforded her some protection against Eva's command. Zoe, being already on her knees, didn't react much either. Her head bowed down. Not to the point where it hit the floor, but just a nod. Which was perfectly fine with Eva. She had no desire to cause the woman any further pain. The two most affected were Catherine and Srey. Both hit the ground hard enough…

      KNEEL

      KNEEL Cover
      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

      Back in Record Time Cover
      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…
