      Enigma

      Enigma Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva glided to a stop just outside of what she had taken to calling the alternate women's ward. The women's ward of her domain. And something was wrong. She could feel it. Some uncanny sense of sickness in her stomach that told her something was wrong. It had nothing to do with her gliding. Whenever Eva entered her domain, she never had to fear. Everyone else who came in fell from some height. After tiring of having to stop her fall every time, Zoe had created a sort of air cushion to land…

      Return

      Return Cover
      by Tower Curator Zoe pinched the bridge of her nose. Wayne had to return soon with news. Between Devon muttering to himself and the constant whining of the demon infesting Shalise's body, Zoe was about ready to hog-tie the two of them and gag their mouths. Especially Shalise. Or Prax. Whoever it was. Keeping Shalise's body available was a must. The worst case scenario would be that entity deciding to return to that giant castle before Eva showed up. Zoe wasn't entirely certain that she could blame it if it…

      Recovery

      Recovery Cover
      by Tower Curator Zoe's chest heaved as she took a deep breath of the crisp air within Ylva's domain. She turned to Wayne, letting all the air out in one long sigh. She gave off a half-smile, full of nervousness and worry. "Are we really doing this?" Wayne gave a short grunt. "I've done a lot of crazy things in my life. Jumping head first into Hell will be a new one." "You don't have to come with me." Wayne frowned. He opened his mouth, ready to berate her for saying that. After a moment of silence, he shook his…

      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…

      Domains

      Domains Cover
      by Tower Curator The surface of the liquid was so close. Juliana could see the light glinting off the surface. She stretched high, pulling herself up through the murky liquid with a long sweep of her arm. Her metal was gone, left back at the prison. All that she kept was around her arms. The two bracers barely made up enough to form a dagger or two. And Juliana was very seriously considering ditching that much. Her movements were slow and sluggish. Like she was swimming in honey. The water she had entered at the…

      Escape

      Escape Cover
      by Tower Curator "Stop," 'Shalise' said. She dug a hand into Juliana's shoulder and pressed her up against the wall. Six demons of varying size and shape ran past without a second glance in their direction. All hurried on down the corridor towards the crystal room. Just like the last three groups had. Prax held her for another few seconds, completely ignoring the metal flowing around his fingers. Juliana couldn't be entirely certain when that had happened. She only noticed that she had activated her ferrokinesis…

      Changes

      Changes Cover
      by Tower Curator Juliana groaned out. Fever heat had always bothered her. She hated the simultaneous inclination to both kick off her covers and gather them around her in a cushy pile. There was just no winning either way. The moment the covers were off, she'd be too cold. Gather them up and she'd be too hot. And someone had the brilliant idea to dump an extremely heavy, extremely hot blanket on top of her. Groaning again, Juliana reached out to shove the blanket off. The tips of her fingers found themselves…

      Crystal

      Crystal Cover
      by Tower Curator "Mother?" Shalise hissed, hoping she was being quiet enough that the demon couldn't hear. On the demon's side of things, she did nothing but stand there, ignoring the ongoing battle out in the open area of the room. She wore a polite, almost regal smile. Nowhere near as elegant as some she had seen on Ylva. It might pass as an imitation in the right lighting. Unfortunately, that smile did nothing to calm Shalise down. That wasn't the kind of smile one greeted a friend with. It was something to wear…

      Free at Last Cover
      by Tower Curator You must get up. But the tiles were so cold. At some point in her thrashing, Shalise's shirt had come off. She couldn't bring herself to care. With her bare stomach pressed against the floor, the metal tiles could take the heat away. Get up, she thought in a masculine voice. Grunting in resignation, Shalise pushed herself up to a sitting position. "Oh," she said as she glanced down. Her shirt hadn't come off. Finger sized tears ran across her chest, centered around the black brand on her…

      Prax

      Prax Cover
      by Tower Curator Something jabbed Shalise's side between her ribs and her hips. Shalise jumped to her feet. That didn't last long. She teetered and wobbled at the sudden lack of blood in her head. She let out a light groan as she moved a hand to her forehead. "Sorry," said Juliana. "You weren't waking up." Shalise looked around as soon as the spots cleared from her eyes. The big winged demon still sat in his chains against the wall. Juliana sat against one wall. She looked like she was holding on to…
