      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 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…
    • Detours Visiting the Dead Cover
      by Tower Curator "Oh no," Eva groaned. At first she had thought it was mere coincidence. People around school, especially those in her age group, often went to the same locations. As such, it shouldn't be too odd if some people followed her around all day. They visited the same classrooms or simply had class nearby. However, most people wouldn't walk around the school after class had ended for the day. Neither would they make three complete circuits without finding their destination. Even if they were from a foreign…

      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…

      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…

      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…

      A Sixth Sense

      A Sixth Sense Cover
      by Tower Curator With a long guttural noise from the back of her throat, Arachne tried to sit up. Eva slammed her foot down on Arachne's shoulder despite the sword at her neck. The sudden move shouldn't alarm the doll too much. In fact, pretty much nothing alarmed the doll. Throughout that entire fight with the hunter, Eva hadn't noticed a single recognizable emotion cross her face. And even with a sword at her neck, Eva couldn't allow Arachne to move. The sword had come perilously close to cutting straight through…

      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…

      Stuck Together

      Stuck Together Cover
      by Tower Curator Catherine glanced back and forth between the two arguing people. She never would have expected Baxter to take her side. The professor had not left her with the impression that she was well liked when she kicked Catherine out of her classroom the last time she got injured. Few humans would side with a demon in the first place, though the point may have been moot. The sides were between Catherine and Ylva. "We cannot allow her to leave. She will betray Us the moment she perceives a lack of…
    • A Vampire, a Demon, and a Nun Walk into a Bar… Cover
      by Tower Curator If Eva had been regretting the ritual before, she was now thinking that it just might be the death of her. Sawyer was still dissecting corpses around the ritual ring. By the looks of things, he would be at it for a while. Which gave Eva plenty of time to focus on the events around her, despite the queasy feeling it gave her. As they moved, first to a van and then from the van to a small smoke-filled bar, Eva held on to Nel. Both for support and because she had decided to wear her blindfold. While…
