      Leakage

      Leakage Cover
      by Tower Curator Catherine's heels clicked in a steady rhythm as she walked down the empty hallway of Brakket Academy. She considered running. The quicker she made it home, the sooner she could join in on her clan's planned raid against those pathetic humans and elves. Well, they were all humans--probably--including her own team. But her team had chosen the demonic race, so their hearts were in the right place. As it was, she was already a full half hour late because of 'secretarial duties' that she had been…

      Disturbance in the Women’s Ward

      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…

      Examinations

      Examinations Cover
      by Tower Curator "Excuse my brother. He isn't so high-strung normally." Eva pulled back from Juliana and turned her eyes to the man she had called Erich. That explained the vague likeness to Genoa that she had noticed. Yet he lacked all of the relative frailty that embodied Carlos. Which didn't actually mean anything. Juliana wasn't frail in the slightest. She had inherited her father's height impairment while taking after her mother in every way that mattered. Probably a good thing. She might not have survived…

      Discussions and Waiting

      Discussions and Waiting Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva watched as Zoe left with the body of Simon. Somehow, Eva was hoping that she wasn't about to return the body to the hospital. Its condition was far from pristine. Seeing it would probably cause a lot of grief if he had anyone that cared about him. Perhaps returning his ashes would be the best course of action. Brushing his hands together to get rid of chalk dust, Devon stood from the circle. "Everything is drawn correctly," he said. "Seems a sick kid won't do. At least, not one that sick." With a…

      Special

      Special Cover
      by Tower Curator "Tell me, Juliana Laura Rivas, what makes you better than those that have been felled by my hand?" Juliana's mind raced. This was yet another mistake. Diablery got her into this mess. Whatever could have possessed her to make her think diablery would get her out of it. Stupid, stupid, stupid! The only bright side to this was the slim chance that Zagan might go kill Willie after he killed Juliana. It was his fault that she had called Zagan here in the first place. Maybe if she made enough noise,…

      Willie

      Willie Cover
      by Tower Curator "Mom!" Juliana jumped to her feet. Fear beat in her chest. That was... a lot of blood. Eva pulled out her black dagger and jammed it into her mother's chest. Juliana almost started spouting a stream of profanity before she remembered what that dagger was for. A moment later, the constant stream of blood stopped flowing from the arm-sized hole in her mother's chest. While the blood stopped, the wound did not heal. "Eva, she is old." Arachne moved closer as she shrunk down to her human…

      Partners

      Partners Cover
      by Tower Curator Juliana sat in her seat, gripping the armrests. This... she wasn't sure what to call it. Farce was a word that came to mind. Whatever it was, it had gone on long enough. By the looks of it, Eva didn't even know how close she had come to having her skull caved in while pulling off her cowboy impression on the back of that beetle. She had missed a broken plank by mere inches. Glancing away from the giant theater screen, Juliana frowned at Willie. He had leaned over, barely touching his seat. In…

      Reunion

      Reunion Cover
      by Tower Curator "I hope this washes out," Eva said, tossing her sticky hair over her shoulder. No matter how much she tried to strain it out, it was like the gunk multiplied in her hair as her fingers ran through it. Her fingers were covered in the stuff as well, so she probably was just wiping more through her hair than she was actually cleaning off. "Better than sand," Arachne said. She wasn't even trying to clean herself off. The black ooze added a layer of sheen to her already shiny carapace. Eva wiggled her…

      Back into the Fire

      Back into the Fire Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva tossed the now slightly damp towel over her shoulder, not caring in the slightest where it actually landed. She exited the showers completely in the nude. Arachne followed her out at her heels. Devon still sat, snoring in his chair. For a moment, she considered waking him. After glancing at the large bruise on his forehead, Eva decided he looked tired enough to leave alone. Besides, he managed to sleep through all the noise of the showers. Never had she felt so alive. She stopped and…

      Domains

      Domains Cover
      by Tower Curator The surface of the liquid was so close. Juliana could see the light glinting off the surface. She stretched high, pulling herself up through the murky liquid with a long sweep of her arm. Her metal was gone, left back at the prison. All that she kept was around her arms. The two bracers barely made up enough to form a dagger or two. And Juliana was very seriously considering ditching that much. Her movements were slow and sluggish. Like she was swimming in honey. The water she had entered at the…
