      Reset Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva, hands clasped behind her back, patrolled along the edge of the ritual circle. More specifically, she paced back and forth in front of the demon hunter and the nun. While the nun had her back pressed against the tree, staring up at the eye through the portals with a slack jaw, the hunter was face-down in the dirt with her mouth slightly to one side. Just enough to endlessly spew nonsensical threats at everyone who walked by. Thankfully, Zoe had stopped by and stilled the air around her head, keeping…

      Catch It

      Catch It Cover
      by Tower Curator "Dean Anderson here." Eva sat on the edge of a table, staring out the window. So far, nothing had fallen from the sky that she had been able to see. Neither had anything approached the building. In fact, the pulsing of the violet streaks had died down to their usual levels of activity. Or inactivity, as the case was. Around her, most of the students had lost their nervousness. They were going about class as normal. Even Juliana had gone back to her seat after watching and not finding anything too…

      Crystal Courier

      Crystal Courier Cover
      by Tower Curator "To be fair, if she hadn't summoned a demon, Arachne and I wouldn't have known where to look. In fact, we had been heading in the wrong direction prior to her summoning." Both Genoa and Carlos turned away from their daughter to glare at Eva. Behind them, sitting in the living room chair like it was the hot seat in an interrogation room, Juliana looked up and gave Eva a slight smile. A smile that did nothing to offset the intensity of her parents' glares. Under other circumstances, Eva might have wilted…

      Help from Below

      Help from Below Cover
      by Tower Curator "A lot of help she is," Eva mumbled as she slipped her phone back into her pocket. Deep wrinkles of thought and worry lined Genoa's face. Since picking up Juliana's cellphone, she hadn't stopped pacing up and down the street. She did pause as Eva finished her call. "Nothing?" "Nel was using the armored hunter's blood to track them, assuming it is that hunter again. He died. Plus her vision was slipping as well. She only really was able to watch them thanks to her watching them non-stop since they did…

      Bait and Switch

      Bait and Switch Cover
      by Tower Curator "Welcome back to Brakket Magical Academy for another night of mystery and imagination. I'm your host, Hank Hanson, and with me is the lovely Zoe Baxter, professor of theory here at Brakket Academy." "Thank you, Hank," Zoe said, trying to keep her smile as natural as possible. "Now," he said, "for those of you just joining us, a quick recap of the last event and the purpose of this tournament as a whole." As he started speaking, Zoe started tuning him out. Not enough to completely ignore him. She…
    • Hard Work Pays Off Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva couldn't be more pleased with the way things were going. The second event was coming up in two days. She didn't have to participate in it. The ritual circle was nearly finished. It wouldn't be done by the time of the second event, but would definitely be done before the third. Especially if they decided to have a longer break between events for the December holidays. With Anise and Chris both helping, their progress had been through the roof. Of course, Eva still needed to find people for the…
    • One for the Angles Cover
      by Tower Curator "Construction?" Neuro asked with a frown, toying with of the golden triangles that adorned the tips of the demon's long hair. "Yep. Building a house maybe," Eva said with a shrug. She couldn't really think up anything else it might be. Saija's eyes narrowed to thin slits, glancing off to one side to avoid looking at anyone. Her lips curled back into a teeth-clenched grimace. "Building?" She nudged Irene in the side. "I told you we should have done that last event. How am I supposed to build…

      Stalkers

      Stalkers Cover
      by Tower Curator "I volunteer." Everyone in the room turned to look at Eva. Nobody knew what the event would be. Wallace Redford had been keeping extremely tight lipped about the matter. Eva knew that more than one demon had tried following him around. Probably several humans as well. Then there were the other schools which probably had their own spies. If they had found anything, they weren't sharing. They were supposed to be discussing possibilities. Personally, Eva was just hoping for straight up combat. Maybe…

      Press-Ganged

      Press-Ganged Cover
      by Tower Curator "Everyone must be on their best behavior," Saija said in a mocking tone of voice. It wasn't hard to guess who she was mocking. Anderson had been running around the entire school, snapping at anything out of place. Which, in his eyes, was just about everything and everyone. Especially anyone who had their uniforms crooked, ate messily, slacked off during class, or breathed too loudly. He had landscapers come in and tidy up every visible plant around Brakket. Eva had been concerned that they might…
    • Assistance Rendered Cover
      by Tower Curator Juliana turned away from Eva with a slight shudder. Her skin had cracked and broken in the blast. If her hair loss had been the extent of her injuries, that would be one thing. It had taken an effort to not throw up when she first saw Eva coming up the stairs. Between her charred black skin, cracks in the char looking like a dried desert, and a red almost glow emitting from between the cracks, she did not look well. Worse, if such a thing was possible, Eva didn't even seem to notice herself. She…
