    • 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…

      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…

      And Battery

      And Battery Cover
      by Tower Curator Sawyer stood at the crest of a hill that overlooked the ritual site. He turned his head one way then the other, taking in the destruction down below. His actions gave Eva a nice overview of everything as well. Much of the field was on fire in some capacity or other. Eva hadn't managed to explode every casket, but a good chunk of them were nothing more than craters. Most of the skeletons and enigmas on the field were dead, thanks to the efforts of the vampires and Nel. It was a strange sensation to…

      Assault

      Assault Cover
      by Tower Curator The field wasn't any different in person. Not that Eva had expected it to be. Her ritual gave her a perfect picture of exactly what Sawyer saw and felt. She had already known how the place would look, feel, and smell. Looking at it with her own eyes didn't matter in the slightest. In fact, she was actually feeling better than any time that she had visited through Sawyer's eyes. The ritual was fading away. In an hour, maybe two, it would have run its course, leaving Eva all by her self. She could…

      Mummies

      Mummies Cover
      by Tower Curator Clement walked down the streets towards Brakket Academy. Naked. Well, not quite naked. He had jeans and a tee-shirt. But he felt naked. Without his armor, anything could kill him. A random bus that had its brake line cut, a brick falling from a high building, even tripping over his own shoelaces could send him to the ground and snap his neck. Clement glanced down at his tennis shoes. They were still tied in neat little knots. Too many things could end his usefulness to Gertrude without…
    • Surgical Happenings Cover
      by Tower Curator "I can't believe scum like that tasted your blood before me," Serena sulked once they were back in their room. "I can't believe that we're working with those monsters," Nel said, gripping her hands into fists. "They should be exterminated, not bartered with." "Hey! I'll have you know that I would very much resent being exterminated." Eva moved past the bickering idiots and slumped straight into one of the beds. At this point, she wasn't sure if she would care about them murdering each…
    • A Day in a Necromancer’s Life Cover
      by Tower Curator It only took six hours for Eva to regret ever performing the ritual. By twelve hours, she was certain that she would be sick multiple times before the ritual wore off. The doubled vision and senses, she could handle. Sitting in one spot with her eyes shut went leagues in preventing her from feeling ill. Anything that reduced her sensory inputs to only Sawyer helped exponentially. No. Her regrets didn't have anything to do with the ritual itself. Rather, her regrets stemmed from ever thinking…

      Road Trip

      Road Trip Cover
      by Tower Curator "Going somewhere?" Eva glanced up from her work to find Serena leaning against the doorway. Her arms were crossed over her chest and she had a slight frown on her face. Turning away with a slight shrug, Eva continued packing everything that she thought she might need. "Just a little road trip. Though how I'm actually going to take it is still up for debate." Eva tucked a potion satchel filled with poisons into the side pocket of her suitcase. They might not be any good at all, but no sense in…

      Neighbors

      Neighbors Cover
      by Tower Curator "We decline your request." Eva blinked, not quite sure what to say. Her hands moved from the floor where she knelt to rub back and forth in front of her chest. That had not been the response that she had expected or wanted. "Rest assured, We do not decline out of malice." Eva looked up at Ylva. The apartment adjacent to Zoe's was a far cry from the splendor of Ylva's domain. Everything was entirely mundane. The kitchen appliances were beige colored and looked like they belonged in the…

      Split

      Split Cover
      by Tower Curator Shalise jumped to her feet, ready for another attack. Lynn was at her side in an instant. It was somewhat off-putting. Lynn's lightning and fire was far more effective at dealing with the enigmas than anything Shalise could put out. Sure, her muscles were strong and afforded her a certain level of toughness that she would otherwise lack, but not a single one of the creatures had actually made it within grappling range since Eva had brought along Lynn. She shouldn't be complaining, but Lynn just…
