Chronosphere

by Tower Curator — Octavia didn’t know that Alyssa knew where she lived. How could she? Alyssa hadn’t figured it out through any conventional means. She had cheated. An angel had provided the information. Even if Octavia did move on from her hovel, Tenebrael could presumably point her out a second time. And a third. Tenebrael might not be able to act because of rules and regulations that Alyssa didn’t fully comprehend, but she could provide more information than anyone. If only Alyssa felt like she could rely on the…

A Princely Meeting

by Tower Curator — Alyssa woke, feeling slightly nauseous. She kept her eyes closed because of the sensation. It was that unpleasant lead arms and swimming headache that came with a severe lack of sleep. Which was entirely her fault. She had returned late, first of all. Then there was the debacle with Kenziel—who had returned with two crystals in hand; Tenebrael hadn’t eaten them in front of her, but Alyssa didn’t doubt that she would later on. She had gone on and told Tzheitza about the angel’s recommendation for…

Divine Inspiration

by Tower Curator — “I have gone on a brief walkabout of your world. It is quite the mess. But, I am pleased to inform you that it is not unsalvageable. How would you like to be brought up to a fully compliant status? It won’t be easy, but I think we can get you back to schedule in as little as one thousand three hundred years. Working with a competent Archangel, you’ll hardly have to lift a finger.” Kenziel’s tone had shifted to that of a used car salesman. Except, instead of slapping the roof of a car, she was…

Flawed Plans

by Tower Curator — There was a flaw in Alyssa’s plan. No one was following her. In fact, nobody could follow her. She spent all that time looking over her shoulder. Obviously nobody was going to follow her when she was invisible. If they were even going to follow her in the first place. Nobody had known that she was going to be at the Gobbtop tavern tonight. Tenebrael had dropped her and Jason off only a short distance away. The only people who might have tried to follow her would have been people already in the tavern…

Tineye

by Tower Curator — Chris Altrac was a surprisingly diligent man considering his former homeless status. He had jumped into the world feet first and, after getting a few pointers from Alyssa, wound up doing well for himself. As well as someone could do in less than a week, that was. He had moved into the inn Alyssa had invited him to during their little discussion. It was one of the places Alyssa had sought out for herself in case she ever had to leave Tzheitza’s potion shop. Not the nicest place around, but he had a…

French Toast

by Tower Curator — “What did you think you were doing? Are you insane?” The programmer sat across from Alyssa, looking around with a bleary expression. Three thick slices of French toast sat on the table in front of him, swimming in maple syrup. A dollop of whipped cream had been plopped on top, cradling a single strawberry. To its side, a glass of orange juice stood tall. Condensation on the side of the glass dripped down to a cork coaster protecting the wooden table. Maybe it was a bit late for breakfast foods,…

Setting the Bar

by Tower Curator — Alyssa had expected another dingy alley. Shady bars were always supposed to be adjacent to alleys with flickering lights and eerie atmospheres. There obviously wouldn’t be any flickering lights in the middle of the day, but there should still be a spot for the alley once darkness fell. This bar had apparently missed the memo. The building looked relatively nice. A wood exterior, stained a rich amber, had an almost welcoming tone to it. The only thing Alyssa would identify as creepy would be the…

Adrift

by Tower Curator — Alyssa… wasn’t quite certain what was going on. She could remember her last thoughts well enough. She had held out her hand for Tenebrael, accepting the angel’s offer of more power. Which sounded terrible when phrased like that. Like she was some kind of children’s super villain. But it was all for a good reason. Which was also a super villainy thing to say. “Focus on what you’re feeling. Try to seek me out. It will help.” Tenebrael had said that. Alyssa distinctly remembered her…

Mathematics

by Tower Curator — “My head is going to explode.” Kasita hadn’t made it in time. A terrible misfortune. Maybe she could have made sense of something. Alyssa sure wasn’t getting anywhere. She had a notebook out in front of her, but the page was blank. It was supposed to be notes of her lesson with Tenebrael. Tenebrael was teaching her… something. Alyssa just didn’t know how to write it down. If she had her phone, maybe that would have helped. But Tenebrael had taken that upon their arrival. They had…

Donations

by Tower Curator — Alyssa’s breath caught in her throat. She clenched her fists around Tenebrael’s shoulders, hoping she wasn’t getting in the way of the wings. The ground disappeared from under her feet and Alyssa pinched her eyes shut. Wind dragged at her hair, pulling it back. Her shirt, a regular cotton tee, whipped about in the sudden gust. It was all Alyssa could do to hold on for dear life. The logical part of her mind said that Tenebrael couldn’t hurt her. Even if she could, she probably wouldn’t. But…
