      Press Conference

      Press Conference Cover
      by Tower Curator After ensuring that she was indeed alone within her domain---she hadn't found any enigmas, humans, or demons wandering around, nor had she sensed the presence of any---Eva returned to the common room to further inspect the column sticking through the roof. As it turns out, it wasn't a column. All four sides angled inwards ever so slightly up until high above the roof where the angle bent sharply towards a central point. She had searched every inch that she could see and found nothing. No markings or…

      Heart of Stone

      Heart of Stone Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva opened her eyes, surprised to find she had eyes to open after watching the avatar being torn apart in the walls of the teleportation tunnel. She had fully expected to be torn apart as well. Even if Void reclaimed her, she would still have awoken in that void where nothing existed save for her mind. Awaking in a familiar place, staring at a familiar cracked sandstone ceiling, Eva let out a soft sigh. The women's ward. Her own bed. Definitely a far cry from the endless abyss that had been her earlier…

      No Rest for the Demons

      No Rest for the Demons Cover
      by Tower Curator Catherine sat back on the couch in the women's ward. With her cellphone in hand, she started jotting down notes. Important observations about the previous twenty-four hours that she felt vital enough to jot down. She had nearly perfect memory. The notes were just in case she did manage to forget something. As unlikely as that was. What she really needed to do was to print them out and send them to her domain. The cellphone was an amazing tool that the humans had come up with, but it was no replacement…

      Obelisk

      Obelisk Cover
      by Tower Curator Catherine snapped a quick picture of the ritual circle Devon had devised to close the portals. It could be handy in the future given her other plans. For the moment, it had served its purpose. Magic now spent, the faint glow dimmed and was extinguished, plunging the entrance to Brakket Academy in the dark of the night. As it should be. Her phone's clock and the light of the sky now matched without the portals flooding daylight everywhere. She scanned the dark, starry sky---cleared of any clouds by the…

      Flames

      Flames Cover
      by Tower Curator The sky burst into flames. Catherine couldn't help herself. Despite the mild danger of being stuck in an almost hypnotic trance should she stare at the massive eye overhead, she looked up. Burning meteors raced towards the eye from the edges of the shimmering portals. One impacted one of the molten teardrops. Rather than be forced down towards Earth, it continued straight towards the eye, neither stopped or slowed. Everywhere one of the meteors hit, the eye caved inwards. Like a giant bed sheet with…

      Pest Removal

      Pest Removal Cover
      by Tower Curator Devon strode into the Brakket Academy main lobby area with two demons in tow. Once upon a time, doing something so brazen would have gotten him killed without a doubt. Who in their right mind would ever allow a demon summoner and demons into a school? How times had changed. His weren't even the only demons he had spotted around the school. He had spotted a capra demon disguised as a student turning one of the many enigmas into minced meat just outside the entrance to the school. A few nearby human…

      There Can Be Only One

      There Can Be Only One Cover
      by Tower Curator "Kneel." Across the entire ritual circle, everyone reacted in some way or another. Well, everyone except for Saija. Being passed out apparently afforded her some protection against Eva's command. Zoe, being already on her knees, didn't react much either. Her head bowed down. Not to the point where it hit the floor, but just a nod. Which was perfectly fine with Eva. She had no desire to cause the woman any further pain. The two most affected were Catherine and Srey. Both hit the ground hard enough…

      KNEEL

      KNEEL Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva left Devon behind to finish his ritual design and to continue managing the defense of the prison. There wasn't much to defend. Devon himself and whatever research notes he might have had lying around. Eva didn't think that the enigmas would be too interested in a bunch of notebooks and papers, but who knew with them. As for Eva, she didn't think that she had left anything irreplaceable around. Most important things were over at the dormitory. Which, if she was being honest, was probably under attack…

      Back in Record Time

      Back in Record Time Cover
      by Tower Curator Zoe stared at the spot where the portal had been. She had been too slow. Nothing of Hell remained behind, just the smooth marble-like stone that made up the majority of the ritual circle. Not even blood remained within the portal's boundaries. Everything that was Eva was gone. A second portal had opened to swallow her legs---or what was left of them---though Zoe hadn't paid that portal so much attention. She had been focused solely on Eva's wide red eyes. She had been too slow. Zoe knelt, hand on…

      Down Once More

      Down Once More Cover
      by Tower Curator "Huh." Eva stared down at the blade, even ignoring the startled shout from Zoe and the sudden movement from the demons who might as well have been statues up until now. Normally---and her experience with blades so far in her life supported this fact---blades hurt when they jabbed through her. This one... didn't. Not more than a slight pinch, anyway. In addition, Eva had killed people before. A number of them. Perhaps not as many as Sawyer, but she had killed enough. And she had killed enough of them…
