Obelisk

by Tower Curator — Catherine snapped a quick picture of the ritual circle Devon had devised to close the portals. It could be handy in the future given her other plans. For the moment, it had served its purpose. Magic now spent, the faint glow dimmed and was extinguished, plunging the entrance to Brakket Academy in the dark of the night. As it should be. Her phone's clock and the light of the sky now matched without the portals flooding daylight everywhere. She scanned the dark, starry sky---cleared of any clouds by the…

Reset

by Tower Curator — Eva, hands clasped behind her back, patrolled along the edge of the ritual circle. More specifically, she paced back and forth in front of the demon hunter and the nun. While the nun had her back pressed against the tree, staring up at the eye through the portals with a slack jaw, the hunter was face-down in the dirt with her mouth slightly to one side. Just enough to endlessly spew nonsensical threats at everyone who walked by. Thankfully, Zoe had stopped by and stilled the air around her head, keeping…

Book Nine Epilogue

by Tower Curator — "Lucy?" Eva called out as she crept into the dormitory room assigned to the demon in question. Unlike the student demons---who were all housed in the Rickenbacker---Lucy's assigned room was over in the Gillet. Eva honestly didn't think that she had ever been inside. It was eerie. She was so used to everything being where it was in the Rickenbacker that walking inside its identical twin sent shivers down her spine. Everything was mirrored. Instead of turning left at the top of the stairs, she had to turn…

Crystal Courier

by Tower Curator — "To be fair, if she hadn't summoned a demon, Arachne and I wouldn't have known where to look. In fact, we had been heading in the wrong direction prior to her summoning." Both Genoa and Carlos turned away from their daughter to glare at Eva. Behind them, sitting in the living room chair like it was the hot seat in an interrogation room, Juliana looked up and gave Eva a slight smile. A smile that did nothing to offset the intensity of her parents' glares. Under other circumstances, Eva might have wilted…

Results

by Tower Curator — Eva flopped over on her bed. "Ah, I'm tired," she mumbled to nobody in particular. Nobody else was around. Juliana and Shalise had gone over to Genoa's house to watch the event. Irene, Jordan, and Shelby were all there as well, along with Saija, Srey, and Vektul. A gathering that might have had Eva worried for their safety from demon hunters had she not been so tired. Especially because she was relatively certain that Genoa had participated in the event as an antagonist to one of the…

Conversations

by Tower Curator — "Wow." Eva rested her head on the table with a soft sigh. She had tried to keep her discussion quiet. That had failed within seconds. Vektul, as Eva had asked of him, had gone around and warned the other demons of the sky cracking idol and the demon hunters. Unfortunately, he had gone around and told everyone during lunch. Everyone, in this case, included more than just the demons. Eva would be surprised if anyone in the whole school didn't know what had happened the night before. Having only…

Paranoia

by Tower Curator — Vague directions, as it turned out, were not the best ways to find people. Especially not people who were spying on Eva and probably knew that she was on her way to find them. Given the time it had taken to gather everyone up, their spy would have had plenty of time to move. Srey ended up bringing everyone to a stop in an alley some distance from the school. "This is the spot." Eva glanced around, looking for any sign that someone had been around. Her sense of blood wasn't picking anything up.…

Saija and Srey

by Tower Curator — "Weren't you supposed to go back and visit your mother tonight?" Juliana glanced over to Shalise and shrugged. "Still plenty of tonight left." "But... why are we here?" Leaning back in the booth, Juliana snacked on a plate of chips. "There aren't many places open in the evenings." Shalise frowned, sulking slightly in her third of the booth, leaning into the corner. Her dislike of the location was understandable, though not very sensible. The Vertex club had a bit of history with Shalise. It…

New Arrivals

by Tower Curator — Eva's forehead throbbed. Not horribly. She had suffered through worse headaches before. The ritual to share Sawyer's senses for one and anytime enigmas were around for another. And this current headache was already subsiding to unnoticeable levels. The only reason the headache was special at all was the cause. A dozen demons were making their way from the outskirts of town towards Brakket Academy. Altogether, they weren't so bad. It was just that they had all come into Eva's range at the same…

Uncomfortable Attentions

by Tower Curator — "Welcome. To some of you, this will be a welcome back. To others, an initial greeting. "This year, we will be making history with our students and among other schools around the country. We will be blah blah blah." Eva filled in her own words in place of the new dean's speech. She already knew what was happening. For the most part, at least. Really, she didn't know why she had bothered attending. Beginning of the year speeches were never interesting, this one least of all because of her…
