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…

Out Camping

by Tower Curator — Just as Nel had described, the camp was deserted. Halfway around the world, a small forest held a small camp. Two small-sized tents occupied a small clearing. A fire pit in the center still had some smoldering embers amidst plenty of ash. A bench and a makeshift table looked as if they had been fashioned from the surrounding woods. That and magic. With Shalise being an air mage, she would be able to use blades of wind in place of an axe. Eva wasn't sure if Shalise was adept enough at magic to do so,…

Pursuit

by Tower Curator — Eva wasn't jealous. Not the slightest little bit. Prax's domain was something special. Willie's domain had been... less than entrancing. His theater was fancy enough, on the inside at least. But at no point could Eva recall just stopping and staring with a gaping mouth. The only thing of any real note was his golden bee statues. Those just didn't appeal to Eva. The first time she had entered Ylva's domain, she was struck dumb with a sense of awe. The bottomless pit and the storm clouds overhead…

Domain Maintenance

by Tower Curator — Eva's first thoughts upon landing on the sandy beach could be summed up in three simple words: What a mess. She glanced around her domain with a sinking feeling in her stomach. That unpleasant feeling that she had felt while enigmas were still 'alive' permeated the place. It didn't take long to figure out why. As Eva moved up the beach to the entrance to the alternate women's ward, she stopped and froze with a gaping mouth. Mess was putting it lightly. Just about every one of the trap doors had…

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…

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…

The Meeting

by Tower Curator — "I don't see why this is necessary," Devon complained. He struggled tying his tie. He last wore a tie around the same time he last participated in a demonology circle. Probably further back than forty or fifty years. And that had been a clip on. "Zoe Baxter is a very precise woman. You don't want to look like a schlemiel." "I'm supposed to examine a possible dark artifact. Not looking to date some girl." "Well," Eva crossed her arms, "I don't want to be pitied as the poor kid who was mentored…

Brakket Magical Academy

by Tower Curator — Classes at Brakket were far more interesting than any class at a non magical school. That was simply by virtue of most classes having magic flying around them. The teachers themselves weren't all that different. Class might be better if Eva had been more new to the whole magic scene. The school building itself was a boring affair. Eva felt sure it was built by regular people. None of the rooms even had the oddities that the dorm study rooms had. The only exception to this was the courtyard. The…

Stress

by Tower Curator — Ylva didn't sleep. At all. Zoe wasn't quite sure what she expected, but she had laid out a fairly fancy bed for the demon. She had a gigantic bed in her domain, after all. Unless that entire thing was solely for Nel. It wasn't until the first week had passed that Zoe got any kind of real sleep in. Her time was spent watching Ylva. Waiting for her to do something. On the first night, Ylva had gone around and inspected seemingly every object in Zoe's apartment. Some, she would pass by with barely…

Settling In

by Tower Curator — An earthquake tore through the prison. Potion vials rattled, dust shook free from the walls, one of the runes providing light failed. Eva snapped the treatise on necromancy shut with a barely restrained sigh. That's the fifth time in the last hour. She glanced over at Juliana, Shalise, and Devon, all of whom were glued to the window. "Any sign of them stopping for the night?" Eva asked. "I don't think I'll be able to sleep like this." "I think they're trying to kill each other." Juliana just shook…
