Emergence

by Tower Curator — Juliana didn't bother jumping to the side to dodge the oncoming icicle. There was no need. Her earlier manipulation of reality worked perfectly. Unless, of course, the hunter deliberately made her attacks miss. That was a possibility. Not one that Juliana could understand however. So she wasn't too worried, even while watching the icicle that had been aiming directly at her head as it skimmed past the metal of her helmet. Not a single attack had actually hit though all had come close. Every missed…

Transformation

by Tower Curator — Staring into Arachne's vacant black eyes frosted over Eva's heart. Arachne's eyes absorbed light. There was no shiny gloss, no light from within. It was like staring into the back of her skull if she had no brain or other organs behind her carapace. Her mouth hung open, slack. No wide grin filled with pearly teeth, no displeased frown. Just a vacant stare. "Arachne," Eva said, voice barely audible even to herself in the roaring winds around the ritual circle. She turned slowly, no longer standing…

Finishing Touches

by Tower Curator — Eva paced back and forth, trudging through a section of cold damp ground with every step. After ensuring that hunters weren't going to jump out of the woodwork and attack her or the ritual circle, she had set to clearing away the dome of snow. The snow was all gone. She had even cleared it enough to allow a decent path outside the ward. Yet the melted snow had to go somewhere. With the winter-chilled ground hard and cold, it turned the dirt to a freezing mud all too quickly. In fact, the mud was getting…

Ultimatum

by Tower Curator — Eva honestly wasn't sure what was going on. Supposedly, two people were fighting her. In reality, the nun hadn't hit her once. The white fire of the Elysium Order burned through the forest. Another burst of flames would spread out and around the ground anytime Eva and Arachne got out of sight. But that was about the only thing the nun was doing. A good amount of lightning had come close. Relatively. Never quite close enough to even burn off hairs on her arms. Arachne's dodging and Eva tossing fireballs…

A Final Defense

by Tower Curator — Eva's eyes snapped open. A little tingle in the back of her mind, subtle but enough to wake her up. She hadn't actually been sleeping. Not completely. Lying in bed with her eyes closed wasn't the same thing as total unconsciousness. Sleeping was something she hardly did these days. She kept it up if for no other reason than the boredom of the nights while everyone else was asleep. A small part of her wondered how the other demons handled it. Catherine probably stayed up all night, either working on her…

Slight Delay

by Tower Curator — "Hank Hanson here at Brakket City coming to you with another live report. A series of earthquakes have torn through the city over the past few days. Today has had a few particularly bad ones. I have been in talks with Alexander Anderson, acting dean here at Brakket Academy. He does not believe that they are magically instigated; however, he has assured me that he has people investigating the possibility." The camera drone pulled back, moving away from Hank's award-winning smile to display an overview of…

Reformation

by Tower Curator — Zoe sighed as she walked down the streets of Brakket. Eva insisted that nobody walk around alone. Which, honestly, was not poor advice at the moment. However, she needed time to think. Teleporting straight to Genoa's house wouldn't give her enough time. Or any time, really. Teleporting was near instant. Barring any sudden wards popping up, teleporting would be a perfectly viable escape from any dangerous situation. And she was keeping careful watch for any sign of a ward. A cold wind picked up,…

Finishing Touches

by Tower Curator — Hands clasped behind her back, Eva walked around the completed ritual circle. Arachne followed along at her side, as usual, and Zoe had joined in as well. Catherine flew overhead, snapping pictures of the entire thing. They had a few changes to make that Catherine pointed out as errors. After her final check, the circle would be ready. Ready. An odd thought. They would summon Void. Void would fix the sky. Maybe send Life back into its natural dormancy. And then who knew what? It was an odd feeling. She…

Left Behind

by Tower Curator — At least two enigmas had landed in the city. Nothing had come close to Eva's ritual circle. Brakket security had cleaned them up---disabling them and moving them to a containment ward that Anderson had set up within the zoo. Since they couldn't be permanently killed, they needed to be kept from regenerating and running rampant. Of course, that was all his job. Eva concerned herself with nothing more than a quick run-through of the city. She was pleased to have found nothing especially concerning. The…

Maternal Matters

by Tower Curator — Eva froze, staring at the creature. It scampered off to hide the moment she snapped her head over, but she continued staring. The thing had spoken. Words---her name---had come out of its mouth. "I thought you couldn't get it to talk," Eva said without taking her eyes off the thing. "It didn't do anything but growl and slobber when I tried speaking with it." Catherine leaned forward, nearly touching the bars of the cell with her face. "That was my name, right?" "I doubt it actually knows the…
