      Rescued

      Rescued Cover
      by Tower Curator Genoa started off with the easy ones. The slow, the sluggish, the immobile. None of them had the ability to move out of the way. Most of the golems had the same weakness. While the sewn on demon bits had strength and durability, their human parts were just as weak as any other human. Their creator had learned a few tricks since the attack on Brakket. A good number of the golems had armored plates stapled onto the human body. One, Genoa noted as she stabbed another through the throat, had a shiny…

      Reformation

      Reformation Cover
      by Tower Curator Zoe sighed as she walked down the streets of Brakket. Eva insisted that nobody walk around alone. Which, honestly, was not poor advice at the moment. However, she needed time to think. Teleporting straight to Genoa's house wouldn't give her enough time. Or any time, really. Teleporting was near instant. Barring any sudden wards popping up, teleporting would be a perfectly viable escape from any dangerous situation. And she was keeping careful watch for any sign of a ward. A cold wind picked up,…

      Prison Prep

      Prison Prep Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva took a moment to relax. On Ylva's throne. It wasn't easy. The throne was carved out of the same black marble the rest of the throne platform was made from. It had no cushions, no curvature, and it was far too large. Eva couldn't sit with her back against the throne's back without her calves hitting the relatively sharp edge of the seat. The hel was a skeleton while sitting on the throne. Maybe her nerves didn't function in that form. Maybe they didn't function anyway; she was barely better than a…

      New Recruits

      New Recruits Cover
      by Tower Curator Ylva and Nel popped into the room, hand in hand. Nel in her dark robes and Ylva in her white sheer dress. Eva jumped. Still leaning back in her chair with her feet propped up, she just about lost her balance and fell backwards. She managed to save herself with a quick blink to her feet just in front of the table. To the best of her memory, Ylva had never teleported on her own before. She didn't know why she hadn't expected her to be able to. Given Ylva's power level, it would be more surprising if…

      Nel’s Bad Day

      Nel’s Bad Day Cover
      by Tower Curator "Abomination receives treatment for hand maintenance," Nel mumbled to herself as she typed out the words. She had no idea what she actually saw, and she didn't care. Nel doubted it was anything terrible based on the girl's actions over the last four months. Whatever was going on there, she didn't want to give any more reason for Sister Cross to think about replacing her. "Besides, it might actually be treatment for her hands." She didn't type those words. Nel moved back to her altar. At first…

      Nel in Hiding

      Nel in Hiding Cover
      by Tower Curator "An attack?" "Indeed." Eva watched her master's reactions carefully as he soaked up the details of what happened. Zoe Baxter seemed calm while delivering the news, but her master's heart rate jumped. Arachne stood behind Eva's chair with her arms wrapped around Eva, stoic in her expressions as usual. Her heart tube thing didn't change its pulses in the slightest. She was almost sad that she had missed it. It sounded like a lot of fun to watch. It was her first day out of the infirmary and…

      Nel

      Nel Cover
      by Tower Curator Nel huddled in the corner of Devon's cell house while the two argued out a plan. A seizure ran through her body. Nel avoided collapsing thanks solely to her already being crouched down. She tried hard to keep her eyes off of all of the demons they had summoned. It wasn't easy. Her eyes wanted to look. It'd be worse if she connected to the source. As it was without being connected, she retained some control. The female was the easiest to look at. Although whatever she was made from was inhuman,…

      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…

      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…

      Motivations

      Motivations Cover
      by Tower Curator "I understand that the dean's secretary was filling in during my absence, the topic--" "We discussed rituals again," Mr. Weston all but shouted out as he hopped to his feet. "At first I thought it was going to be some boring thing we already learned last year. Then she started getting into all the gritty details." He paused and glanced around the room with a raised eyebrow. "Or should I say gooey details?" Several snickers ran though several of the students--both male and female. More than a few…
