      Void Domain

      Void Domain Cover
      by Tower Curator Devon stalked around the prison courtyard, staring at the ritual circle drawn out where there had once been a basketball court. Eva's treatment circle. Likely the very final one. He doubted that it was truly necessary. Taking a sample of her blood and examining it with a few spells, Devon had found nothing human about her. He couldn't be sure if it had been her actions during the ritual---which he hadn't seen with his own eyes---or if Void had interfered after pulling her down to Hell. Or perhaps it was…

      Frustration

      Frustration Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva landed within her domain with far more grace than Nel. Given that jostling Serena might kill her if she wasn't dead already, that was probably a good thing. The first thing that Eva noticed was the lack of any ill feelings. Every time she had shown up while Shalise had been residing inside, Eva had felt sick. The same enigma sickness that she felt around the field. It was entirely absent. There were no tracks in the sand that might have belonged to enigmas either. They had burrowed beneath the…

      Downtime Exploration

      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…

      Dismantling Operations

      Dismantling Operations Cover
      by Tower Curator The pleasant heat vanished. A cool musk rushed in to replace it. Slowly, carefully, Arachne set Eva down on the slightly uneven ground. She used all of her legs to help steady Eva until she got her balance under control. Eva shrugged her off and kept her own balance. She stumbled forwards almost immediately. One of Arachne's limbs reached out and steadied her. Without toes, Eva had to pick up her feet straight up in order to walk. It wasn't quick and it wasn't elegant. More of a waddle.…

      The Frying Pan

      The Frying Pan Cover
      by Tower Curator "You knock on your own door?" Irene quirked an eyebrow in Juliana's direction. The two finished shopping in record time. The subpar selection offered by shops around Brakket certainly helped. Still, Juliana made out with a new uniform and plenty of everyday clothes. Her favorite purchase was a brand new winter coat. It was cut long with an outer layer of wool and fleece lining. Her old coat wasn't technically ruined due to being hung up near the door when the golems attacked. As long as Zoe lifted…

      Other Treatments

      Other Treatments Cover
      by Tower Curator A wall of cold water slammed into Eva's face. Her eyes snapped open. The icy liquid ran down her neck and chest, sending all kinds of shivers through her body. Cold did not agree with her. Coughing and sputtering, she tried to reach out with her awareness and get some sense of what was going on. She was in the women's ward on her couch. A somewhat soggy couch that had just had ice water dumped all over it. There would definitely be shouting about that later on. Devon stood over her with a…

      Underground Academy

      Underground Academy Cover
      by Tower Curator "How exactly are these students being screened?" Without so much as glancing up from tapping away at her cellphone, Catherine shrugged. "That's up to your governor." "Anderson?" "That's the one." Eva leaned back in her chair, balancing it on two legs as she rested her feet on a neighboring seat. For a few moments, she just stared at the ceiling tiles. They weren't very interesting. It had never stood out much to Eva, but Brakket was dull. Aside from the Infinite Courtyard, there was very…

      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…

      The Hospital

      The Hospital Cover
      by Tower Curator Sunlight crept through the second floor of the abandoned retirement home. It prowled through the corridors until it came to the last room. Ignoring the blood wards and avoidance runes, it pounced on the sleeping girl. Eva groaned and pulled her covers over her eyes. She slept through her alarm and school with it, only to be awoken by the cruel morning sun. She missed some of the final tests for the year, yet somehow school just didn't feel as important with all the events of yesterday. Besides, what…

      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…
