Nel in Hiding

by Tower Curator — "An attack?" "Indeed." Eva watched her master's reactions carefully as he soaked up the details of what happened. Zoe Baxter seemed calm while delivering the news, but her master's heart rate jumped. Arachne stood behind Eva's chair with her arms wrapped around Eva, stoic in her expressions as usual. Her heart tube thing didn't change its pulses in the slightest. She was almost sad that she had missed it. It sounded like a lot of fun to watch. It was her first day out of the infirmary and…

Nel

by Tower Curator — Nel huddled in the corner of Devon's cell house while the two argued out a plan. A seizure ran through her body. Nel avoided collapsing thanks solely to her already being crouched down. She tried hard to keep her eyes off of all of the demons they had summoned. It wasn't easy. Her eyes wanted to look. It'd be worse if she connected to the source. As it was without being connected, she retained some control. The female was the easiest to look at. Although whatever she was made from was inhuman,…

Neighbors

by Tower Curator — "We decline your request." Eva blinked, not quite sure what to say. Her hands moved from the floor where she knelt to rub back and forth in front of her chest. That had not been the response that she had expected or wanted. "Rest assured, We do not decline out of malice." Eva looked up at Ylva. The apartment adjacent to Zoe's was a far cry from the splendor of Ylva's domain. Everything was entirely mundane. The kitchen appliances were beige colored and looked like they belonged in the…

Near-Death Experience

by Tower Curator — Eva woke with a sheen of sweat coating her body. There was a twisting in her stomach, something she couldn't quite explain. It wasn't hunger. More like disgust or revulsion. Something was wrong. Throwing her blankets off, Eva took a look around her room in the women's ward. Aside from the messy bed, everything was neatly organized. Her dresser held all of the various knickknacks that she had acquired over the past few years. None had been moved. Her room was just as she remembered leaving it the…

Musings on Students

by Tower Curator — It was no wonder that Zoe Baxter had run off. Human children were menaces. The entire lot of them. Even the quiet ones. In fact, they were the worst of all. The others tended to be more honest with their disinterest. They would twiddle with their phones, or their thumbs, or simply ignore her while talking--loudly, more often than not--with their friends. The quiet ones sat, taking notes in their notebooks. They waited for dismissal before gathering their supplies and they always turned on their…

Mummies

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…

Motivations

by Tower Curator — "I understand that the dean's secretary was filling in during my absence, the topic--" "We discussed rituals again," Mr. Weston all but shouted out as he hopped to his feet. "At first I thought it was going to be some boring thing we already learned last year. Then she started getting into all the gritty details." He paused and glanced around the room with a raised eyebrow. "Or should I say gooey details?" Several snickers ran though several of the students--both male and female. More than a few…

Melancholy

by Tower Curator — It was surprising how normal everything seemed. Not seemed. Everything was normal. Just like after Halloween, people's lives went on. School went on. Learning went on. Everyone just ignored the empty table where her students usually sat. And there was nothing Zoe Baxter could do about it. The students who had come to class were not paying any sort of attention. Not surprising. Zoe was only going through the motions of her lesson. No personal touch, no emphasis or animation in her actions.…

Meeting Adjourned

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.…

Meeting

by Tower Curator — Wayne Lurcher downed his second glass of absinthe. She could have just told me. It would have been better that way. None of this skulking about, avoiding and ignoring needed to happen. What did she think I would have done? After all the dubious magic I taught her. Of course, he hadn't been entirely truthful on the origins of most of that magic. But still, she was the premier magical theorist. Surely she could have guessed. She had to have known that there was no chance Wayne would bring hunters to…
