      Frustration

      Frustration Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva landed within her domain with far more grace than Nel. Given that jostling Serena might kill her if she wasn't dead already, that was probably a good thing. The first thing that Eva noticed was the lack of any ill feelings. Every time she had shown up while Shalise had been residing inside, Eva had felt sick. The same enigma sickness that she felt around the field. It was entirely absent. There were no tracks in the sand that might have belonged to enigmas either. They had burrowed beneath the…

      And Battery

      And Battery Cover
      by Tower Curator Sawyer stood at the crest of a hill that overlooked the ritual site. He turned his head one way then the other, taking in the destruction down below. His actions gave Eva a nice overview of everything as well. Much of the field was on fire in some capacity or other. Eva hadn't managed to explode every casket, but a good chunk of them were nothing more than craters. Most of the skeletons and enigmas on the field were dead, thanks to the efforts of the vampires and Nel. It was a strange sensation to…

      Assault

      Assault Cover
      by Tower Curator The field wasn't any different in person. Not that Eva had expected it to be. Her ritual gave her a perfect picture of exactly what Sawyer saw and felt. She had already known how the place would look, feel, and smell. Looking at it with her own eyes didn't matter in the slightest. In fact, she was actually feeling better than any time that she had visited through Sawyer's eyes. The ritual was fading away. In an hour, maybe two, it would have run its course, leaving Eva all by her self. She could…

      Mummies

      Mummies Cover
      by Tower Curator Clement walked down the streets towards Brakket Academy. Naked. Well, not quite naked. He had jeans and a tee-shirt. But he felt naked. Without his armor, anything could kill him. A random bus that had its brake line cut, a brick falling from a high building, even tripping over his own shoelaces could send him to the ground and snap his neck. Clement glanced down at his tennis shoes. They were still tied in neat little knots. Too many things could end his usefulness to Gertrude without…
    • Surgical Happenings Cover
      by Tower Curator "I can't believe scum like that tasted your blood before me," Serena sulked once they were back in their room. "I can't believe that we're working with those monsters," Nel said, gripping her hands into fists. "They should be exterminated, not bartered with." "Hey! I'll have you know that I would very much resent being exterminated." Eva moved past the bickering idiots and slumped straight into one of the beds. At this point, she wasn't sure if she would care about them murdering each…
    • A Vampire, a Demon, and a Nun Walk into a Bar… Cover
      by Tower Curator If Eva had been regretting the ritual before, she was now thinking that it just might be the death of her. Sawyer was still dissecting corpses around the ritual ring. By the looks of things, he would be at it for a while. Which gave Eva plenty of time to focus on the events around her, despite the queasy feeling it gave her. As they moved, first to a van and then from the van to a small smoke-filled bar, Eva held on to Nel. Both for support and because she had decided to wear her blindfold. While…
    • A Day in a Necromancer’s Life Cover
      by Tower Curator It only took six hours for Eva to regret ever performing the ritual. By twelve hours, she was certain that she would be sick multiple times before the ritual wore off. The doubled vision and senses, she could handle. Sitting in one spot with her eyes shut went leagues in preventing her from feeling ill. Anything that reduced her sensory inputs to only Sawyer helped exponentially. No. Her regrets didn't have anything to do with the ritual itself. Rather, her regrets stemmed from ever thinking…

      Road Trip

      Road Trip Cover
      by Tower Curator "Going somewhere?" Eva glanced up from her work to find Serena leaning against the doorway. Her arms were crossed over her chest and she had a slight frown on her face. Turning away with a slight shrug, Eva continued packing everything that she thought she might need. "Just a little road trip. Though how I'm actually going to take it is still up for debate." Eva tucked a potion satchel filled with poisons into the side pocket of her suitcase. They might not be any good at all, but no sense in…

      Failure

      Failure Cover
      by Tower Curator It had taken about an hour for Catherine and Devon to discuss the changes to the circle. Considering that it had taken almost an entire month for Devon to design the latest version of Eva's treatment circle, that was essentially lightning fast. Either Catherine was really a genius at understanding how rituals worked and how to change them, there hadn't been all that many changes to be made, or Devon just cared so little for Catherine's safety that he wasn't too interested in checking, double checking,…
    • Other Treatments Cover
      by Tower Curator A wall of cold water slammed into Eva's face. Her eyes snapped open. The icy liquid ran down her neck and chest, sending all kinds of shivers through her body. Cold did not agree with her. Coughing and sputtering, she tried to reach out with her awareness and get some sense of what was going on. She was in the women's ward on her couch. A somewhat soggy couch that had just had ice water dumped all over it. There would definitely be shouting about that later on. Devon stood over her with a…
