    • Revised Treatment Cover
      by Tower Curator Juliana Laura Rivas flipped through the news. It had been months and there was still no sign that anything was amiss around Brakket City. The purple streaks in the sky had attracted a good amount of attention for the first month. Brakket was fairly isolated from much of the mundane world, but not so much that the sky would go unnoticed. Even had satellites not been able to pick up the anomaly, people in neighboring cities could look out the window and see the sky. It was simply too huge of an effect…
    • Of Demons and Demonhood Cover
      by Tower Curator Finding Catherine wasn't half as hard as Eva had imagined it would be. Really, quite the opposite. It was as simple as walking into the Brakket Academy main building and heading for the secretary's desk in the reception area. Catherine sat at her usual desk, absolutely absorbed in whatever was on her computer monitor. Eva had no idea why she had expected anything different. It was doubtful that she had a home outside of her secretary desk. A few minutes of standing around, waiting for Catherine…

      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 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…

      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…

      School Business

      School Business Cover
      by Tower Curator Returning to school just wasn't quite the same. It didn't feel right. So much had happened and so much was going to happen that sitting in class and practicing thaumaturgy just felt unimportant. Like being concerned over a mosquito bite while bleeding out from a missing arm. Eva leaned back in her chair and shut her eyes. She was supposed to be practicing heat manipulation. None of Isaac Calvin's directions actually made it to her conscious thoughts. The unending swirl and churn of her worries and…

      Return

      Return Cover
      by Tower Curator Zoe pinched the bridge of her nose. Wayne had to return soon with news. Between Devon muttering to himself and the constant whining of the demon infesting Shalise's body, Zoe was about ready to hog-tie the two of them and gag their mouths. Especially Shalise. Or Prax. Whoever it was. Keeping Shalise's body available was a must. The worst case scenario would be that entity deciding to return to that giant castle before Eva showed up. Zoe wasn't entirely certain that she could blame it if it…

      Special

      Special Cover
      by Tower Curator "Tell me, Juliana Laura Rivas, what makes you better than those that have been felled by my hand?" Juliana's mind raced. This was yet another mistake. Diablery got her into this mess. Whatever could have possessed her to make her think diablery would get her out of it. Stupid, stupid, stupid! The only bright side to this was the slim chance that Zagan might go kill Willie after he killed Juliana. It was his fault that she had called Zagan here in the first place. Maybe if she made enough noise,…

      Willie

      Willie Cover
      by Tower Curator "Mom!" Juliana jumped to her feet. Fear beat in her chest. That was... a lot of blood. Eva pulled out her black dagger and jammed it into her mother's chest. Juliana almost started spouting a stream of profanity before she remembered what that dagger was for. A moment later, the constant stream of blood stopped flowing from the arm-sized hole in her mother's chest. While the blood stopped, the wound did not heal. "Eva, she is old." Arachne moved closer as she shrunk down to her human…

      Loyalty

      Loyalty Cover
      by Tower Curator Abominations this, sacrifice for the people that. Does Brother Maynard never tire of hearing himself speak? Standing at attention while listening to speeches about the glory of a combat death in the service of fellow men was possibly one of the most tedious things Ali had ever experienced. Especially when, despite the necromancer being present, their primary goal was the hunting of one of their own. The rogue augur Nel Stirling would surely be comforted by the false sorrow projected by Brother…
