    • Power Overwhelming Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva snapped her eyes open. She took a deep breath, glancing around as she took in her surroundings. She was on her back, staring up at the starry sky. Arachne, Catherine, and Qrycx the carnivean all stood around her with Arachne being the closest. Hovering over her with occasional glares at the other demons, Arachne had a protective air about her. It couldn't have been too long since the end of the ritual. Pre-ritual, everything had gone roughly the same as last time. Obviously Zagan wasn't around…

      Surgery

      Surgery Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva popped into the gate room of the women's ward. As Arachne hopped off her and grew back to her full height, Eva pulled out her cellphone and sent Zoe a message stating that she had put out the fires and was taking a rest at the prison. Not entirely true, but not a lie either. At least it would keep her from worrying when Eva didn't end up at the apartments. Heading out of the gate room and into her own room, Eva added a fresh bit of blood to her warding scheme. It was somewhat annoying that she…
    • The Powers that Be Cover
      by Tower Curator Coughing twice, Zoe waved a hand in front of her face. A quick order shield had been enough to deflect most of the debris. Dust still made it through. While it was possible to make a shield airtight, it generally wasn't a good idea if she wanted to breathe for more than a few moments. Of course, she hadn't anticipated all the dirt being thrown up into the air, effectively blocking off her breathing anyway. With a whip of her dagger, Zoe quickly cleared away the dirt around her, filling the space with…

      Out Camping

      Out Camping Cover
      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,…
    • Meeting Adjourned Cover
      by Tower Curator After hearing Anderson's true plan---getting children to summon demons and either bind them within their bodies similar to what Shalise had done with Prax or contract with them---Eva was significantly less worried. If Anderson was trying to turn more humans into demons or even just amputating limbs to graft demon limbs on, she imagined that there would be no small amount of outrage from just about everyone. Parents, teachers, and plenty more would be rioting. Not that summoning demons was much better.…

      Broad Daylight

      Broad Daylight Cover
      by Tower Curator "How is she?" Nurse Post blinked as she looked up from a clipboard in her hands. A number of graphs and charts covered the topmost paper. Even if Eva had been standing at a proper angle to clearly see the papers, she doubted that she would understand most of it. A squiggly line here. A flat one there. Tons of words that were shorthand for something. One really had to be in the medical profession to understand any of it. Which was why she had asked. Rubbing her temple, Nurse Post shook her head…

      Banishment

      Banishment Cover
      by Tower Curator Just before the bull slammed into him, it stepped on a bit of rubble. The rubble moved, causing its hoof to slip. Clement's fist, and the ring on his finger, went straight over the devil's head. Using the enchantments on his boots, Clement hopped back before the bulk of the bull could crash into him. He shook off the brief sensation of nausea---a sensation that had been getting worse as the fight went on---and took a moment to catch his breath. The devil being far enough away and still picking…

      It’s Time

      It’s Time Cover
      by Tower Curator It is time. Arachne growled as awareness returned to her. Her face ached. It was as if it were on fire. Given that she had used her head as a shield for Eva, the pain wasn't too unexpected. Lifting an arm, Arachne ran her needle-like claws down the smooth chitin that made up her face. Her fingers nimbly moved between her eyes, not scratching a single one. A simple action, but it brought back memories. After being cast down to Hell, her body had been corrupted by the jealousy and envy of false…

      Rage

      Rage Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva snapped into being on the gate she had made within her new dormitory room. She wasn't even that wobbly from the teleport. Still, she took a moment to steady herself before moving around. In that moment, she glanced around. Both with her eyes and her less mundane senses. She immediately froze. The very first thing that she noticed was Zagan. She couldn't see him, but she could feel him. His overwhelming presence occluded everything else. Whatever had happened, he wasn't trying to hide in the…

      Shocking

      Shocking Cover
      by Tower Curator "This is a surprise. After all that skulking about, you come out of the woodwork now?" Clement stood unmoving. He could feel the sweat beading down his skin beneath his armor. The battle hadn't even started yet. Demons never really frightened him. They were arrogant beings, the kind of monsters who thought themselves so above humanity that nothing short of an army could beat them in combat. When faced against a medieval knight and a lithe girl, most tended to laugh. If given the chance to monologue,…
