    • Disturbance in the Women’s Ward Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva rolled a bloodstone between her fingers. Aside from the bloodstone embedded in the hilt of her dagger, this was her last bloodstone. And it was one of the good ones, too. The ones from the museum that had a drastically longer shelf life than they should. As such, despite having the ritual circle set out and all the reagents collected, Eva was loath to actually put it to use. According to the ritual tome, what she currently had set out should give her a one-way connection to the target, allowing…

      Examinations

      Examinations Cover
      by Tower Curator "Excuse my brother. He isn't so high-strung normally." Eva pulled back from Juliana and turned her eyes to the man she had called Erich. That explained the vague likeness to Genoa that she had noticed. Yet he lacked all of the relative frailty that embodied Carlos. Which didn't actually mean anything. Juliana wasn't frail in the slightest. She had inherited her father's height impairment while taking after her mother in every way that mattered. Probably a good thing. She might not have survived…
    • Discussions and Waiting Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva watched as Zoe left with the body of Simon. Somehow, Eva was hoping that she wasn't about to return the body to the hospital. Its condition was far from pristine. Seeing it would probably cause a lot of grief if he had anyone that cared about him. Perhaps returning his ashes would be the best course of action. Brushing his hands together to get rid of chalk dust, Devon stood from the circle. "Everything is drawn correctly," he said. "Seems a sick kid won't do. At least, not one that sick." With a…
    • Trouble in Prison Town Cover
      by Tower Curator "They thought I had lied to them. Led them into a trap." Shalise started at the anger in Sister Cross' words. "So they threw you into prison?" Lynn shook her head. "After the public relations disaster with the riot involving my chapter, my augur disappearing, and the failure of the inquisitorial squad after being briefed by me, they stripped me of command. "Leading them into a trap was just an excuse to dispose of me. I warned them about the devil-class demon and his involvement in Sister…

      Distant Visions

      Distant Visions Cover
      by Tower Curator Nel paced in front of the door that led out of Ylva's domain. The last time she left the domain, a series of bad things happened. Mostly to her. But this time was different. Right? Lady Ylva had threatened the Elysium Order, so they shouldn't come after her. Eva had her blood wards up around the entire prison, so no one should be able to teleport in and kidnap her. And if someone started unraveling the wards, Nel was going to sprint at full speed for Ylva's domain, sky cracking or not. Nel stopped…
    • A Read Letter Day Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva tossed a book over her shoulder. Worthless. It didn't matter how many tomes she went though, none of them described anything remotely similar to the enigmas. A number of creatures had violet blood. Humans could have blood that appeared purple under the right lighting and oxygen levels. A very select few mundane creatures even had natural purple blood. As such, blood wasn't much to go off of. Not for her at least. Wayne had taken a sample from the iced enigma to use in alchemy and regular…
    • A Day with Irene Cover
      by Tower Curator Irene stretched out in her bed, ready to enjoy yet another day off. The diablery class hadn't met for a whole week. Not since the incident. That wasn't to say it was canceled. Just suspended. Supposedly they would be having regular meetings again on the first of March. While actively attending the class, Irene hadn't been aware of just how stressful it actually was. Between the intensity of Catherine and Eva, slipping away or making up excuses to her sister and Jordan, and the ever-present feeling of…

      Patched Up

      Patched Up Cover
      by Tower Curator "Eva." The girl in question froze solid. Almost literally. The ambient temperature dropped faster than a lead weight in water. It reached the point where Eva could see her own breath. With a stiff back and tense muscles, she turned around. Her hastily fashioned crutch clanked on the marble tiles during her maneuver. Putting on a polite smile, she performed a cautious bow. "Ylva." "You came through Hell." "I did," Eva said, suppressing a wince. "And I swear, it is not my intention to proceed…

      Enigma

      Enigma Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva glided to a stop just outside of what she had taken to calling the alternate women's ward. The women's ward of her domain. And something was wrong. She could feel it. Some uncanny sense of sickness in her stomach that told her something was wrong. It had nothing to do with her gliding. Whenever Eva entered her domain, she never had to fear. Everyone else who came in fell from some height. After tiring of having to stop her fall every time, Zoe had created a sort of air cushion to land…

      Containment

      Containment Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva hadn't seen all that many movies, but those she had seen were of the horror genre. And the scene in front of her looked like something straight out of a horror movie. Blood stained the walls, the floors, and even the ceiling. The blood wasn't smeared on, nor did it spell out macabre messages. It formed large circles of an arcane nature. None of it dripped--Eva had made sure of that. So thorough were her shackles that she actually had to finish up from outside the room. She didn't want to risk…
