      Out Camping

      Out Camping Cover
      by Tower Curator Just as Nel had described, the camp was deserted. Halfway around the world, a small forest held a small camp. Two small-sized tents occupied a small clearing. A fire pit in the center still had some smoldering embers amidst plenty of ash. A bench and a makeshift table looked as if they had been fashioned from the surrounding woods. That and magic. With Shalise being an air mage, she would be able to use blades of wind in place of an axe. Eva wasn't sure if Shalise was adept enough at magic to do so,…
    • Meeting Adjourned Cover
      by Tower Curator After hearing Anderson's true plan---getting children to summon demons and either bind them within their bodies similar to what Shalise had done with Prax or contract with them---Eva was significantly less worried. If Anderson was trying to turn more humans into demons or even just amputating limbs to graft demon limbs on, she imagined that there would be no small amount of outrage from just about everyone. Parents, teachers, and plenty more would be rioting. Not that summoning demons was much better.…

      Broad Daylight

      Broad Daylight Cover
      by Tower Curator "How is she?" Nurse Post blinked as she looked up from a clipboard in her hands. A number of graphs and charts covered the topmost paper. Even if Eva had been standing at a proper angle to clearly see the papers, she doubted that she would understand most of it. A squiggly line here. A flat one there. Tons of words that were shorthand for something. One really had to be in the medical profession to understand any of it. Which was why she had asked. Rubbing her temple, Nurse Post shook her head…

      Banishment

      Banishment Cover
      by Tower Curator Just before the bull slammed into him, it stepped on a bit of rubble. The rubble moved, causing its hoof to slip. Clement's fist, and the ring on his finger, went straight over the devil's head. Using the enchantments on his boots, Clement hopped back before the bulk of the bull could crash into him. He shook off the brief sensation of nausea---a sensation that had been getting worse as the fight went on---and took a moment to catch his breath. The devil being far enough away and still picking…

      It’s Time

      It’s Time Cover
      by Tower Curator It is time. Arachne growled as awareness returned to her. Her face ached. It was as if it were on fire. Given that she had used her head as a shield for Eva, the pain wasn't too unexpected. Lifting an arm, Arachne ran her needle-like claws down the smooth chitin that made up her face. Her fingers nimbly moved between her eyes, not scratching a single one. A simple action, but it brought back memories. After being cast down to Hell, her body had been corrupted by the jealousy and envy of false…

      Rage

      Rage Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva snapped into being on the gate she had made within her new dormitory room. She wasn't even that wobbly from the teleport. Still, she took a moment to steady herself before moving around. In that moment, she glanced around. Both with her eyes and her less mundane senses. She immediately froze. The very first thing that she noticed was Zagan. She couldn't see him, but she could feel him. His overwhelming presence occluded everything else. Whatever had happened, he wasn't trying to hide in the…
    • Near-Death Experience Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva woke with a sheen of sweat coating her body. There was a twisting in her stomach, something she couldn't quite explain. It wasn't hunger. More like disgust or revulsion. Something was wrong. Throwing her blankets off, Eva took a look around her room in the women's ward. Aside from the messy bed, everything was neatly organized. Her dresser held all of the various knickknacks that she had acquired over the past few years. None had been moved. Her room was just as she remembered leaving it the…

      Security System

      Security System Cover
      by Tower Curator At least nothing is on fire, Eva thought with a welling of relief deep inside. In fact, better than nothing being on fire, nothing looked damaged at all. Everything in the women's ward was just where she had left it. Outside, well, the prison was a fairly large place. Eva was mostly certain that everything was normal. Her blood wards gave her a view of the place in a manner reminiscent of her using clouds of blood to see and through that, she couldn't see anything amiss. Neither could she sense the…
    • Landlord’s Bad Day Cover
      by Tower Curator "Eva," Juliana called after the rushing girl, "wait up." The problem with armor, especially metal armor, was that it weighed a ton. Not a literal ton, but definitely more than a school backpack. Other students never carried even a fraction of the weight of Juliana's armor during their entire tenure at Brakket Academy. Being a physically fit person, it wasn't a big deal most of the time. Her mother's training had built up her muscles and a slow yet steady increase in the amount of metal she carried…
    • Rain on a Parade Cover
      by Tower Curator "Well that... that... that just rains on my parade!" Clement pulled the binoculars away from his face to glance towards his partner. Gertrude was leaning half over the edge of the roof with the visor from his armor pressed against her eyes. Her mouth was twisted into a pout. With a gentle hand, Clement pulled her back. She wouldn't die from the fall. They were on top of some sort of dancing club for the students to waste time in, it was only a few stories high. The idea that she would even be injured…
