      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…

      Failure

      Failure Cover
      by Tower Curator It had taken about an hour for Catherine and Devon to discuss the changes to the circle. Considering that it had taken almost an entire month for Devon to design the latest version of Eva's treatment circle, that was essentially lightning fast. Either Catherine was really a genius at understanding how rituals worked and how to change them, there hadn't been all that many changes to be made, or Devon just cared so little for Catherine's safety that he wasn't too interested in checking, double checking,…

      Evacuation

      Evacuation Cover
      by Tower Curator Wayne kept his fireball steadily humming in front of the two of them. A warning that he could and would protect himself at any sign of hostility. She, in turn, had one arm linked around his like they were a couple. Her other arm kept Zoe pressed against her chest. Despite his growing tension, Serena was the picture of relaxation. She leaned her head against his arm, knowing yet uncaring of the flames just inches away. A show of power? Or stupidity. Either way, she hadn't attacked him yet. Wayne was…

      Ambush

      Ambush Cover
      by Tower Curator The good news was that there were few cars on the freeway heading towards the city, leaving the freeway mostly clear of enemies. The bad news was that the outgoing lanes were bumper to bumper. The military had cleared away most of the ones near the wall--with a bulldozer, by the looks of things--but the rest were just blocking the road. They looked abandoned, but Wayne wasn't about to let his guard down. He kept one hand on his tome as he drove along. A constant trickle of magic left him ready for…

      Teleport Home

      Teleport Home Cover
      by Tower Curator It took most of the rest of the day for Eva to finally shake herself out of her stupor. After having a few minutes to calm down, Lucy's domain probably hadn't been the worst thing ever. It was close, but not the worst. The tentacles weren't even that bad. Eva could stand tentacles. That monster covered in holes on the other hand... Another shudder wracked Eva's body at the thought. Whatever it was, Eva wouldn't mind never seeing it again. At the moment, Eva was assuming both the tentacles and 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…

      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…

      Blood

      Blood Cover
      by Tower Curator "Sarah!" Wayne hammered his fist against the heavy oak door. "Sarah! Open the door!" He rattled the handle to no avail. It was locked. "Maybe no one is home," Serena said, arms clasped behind her head as she leaned against the wall. Zoe clung to the vampire's shirt, pressing her mask up against a curtained window near the two. Since rescuing Zoe from the thralls, the younger girl had stuck close to Serena. At first it had been mere holding hands. After about ten minutes of walking, Serena…

      Convincing

      Convincing Cover
      by Tower Curator "Are you insane?" "That seems pretty ambitious." Everyone in the clearing jumped to high alert. Everyone except for Eva. She had seen their followers through her sense of blood. Letting them know what she was up to was something of a risk, but she needed humans for the ritual. People would be finding out sooner or later. Might as well start with those she knew best. Putting a hand on Arachne's shoulder to calm her down---she was the only one Eva was really worried about starting anything as neither…
    • 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…
