AEGON TARGARYEN

Aegon stood near the bay and watched the weapons, including trebuchets, scorpions, and so much more, being loaded onto the ships, all made from fine castle-forged steel.

Night had come, yet the men worked tirelessly under the lights of the torches that were now lit along the bay. As half of them loaded the ships, the rest drilled for battle, clad in basic armor and holding nominal spears.

The spear was his ch...

CREGAN STARK

Cregan sat in the Hand’s solar, as he had many a times before when Jon Arryn had been hand. The old man had often called him into his solar to simply have company or a helping hand—a competent and well-read helping hand.

And Cregan was the King’s charge, and given Robert Baratheon’s nature, the responsibility of his upbringing lay with the older man, and so many a times the man would teach him the ways of ruli...

Chapter 18

After a tumultuous day, Britain’s Wizarding World waited with bated breath for the daily issue of the Daily Prophet to chew on the latest piece of news and gossip about the scandal surrounding one Sirius Black.

Reporters, lawyers, and others had surrounded the Ministry’s building for the entire day and night, hoping to get a glimmer of news for their respective papers, yet the Ministry remained tight-lipped about the issue.

IZUNA UCHIHA

Izuna’s little gamble had not worked. He had hoped that Orochimaru’s endorsement would have been enough to push his father’s name ahead of Minato-san, for while he did trust Minato-kun, he also knew that the man was more cynical and practical than people realised.

While he knew that the man would not protect Danzo Shimura if he brought forward proof of his erroneous behavior, he also knew that he would hesitate ...

EDDARD STARK

Eddard had been in the city for less than a week, and already he was beginning to loathe it with all his heart. With each passing day, he saw the truth in Cregan’s words as he experienced the depravity and politics of the people of the Red Keep.

He could see their gazes linger on him, trying to judge him, and he wondered if he would have been able to see it all without Cregan’s warning.

Here in the capital, ...

ALBUS DUMBLEDORE

Hours had passed since the special edition of the Daily Prophet had been published, and now the entire magical society of Britain was looking to the Ministry for answers.

The Ministry itself was in an uproar, as reporters continued to harass each and every member for any new information regarding this massive scandal. A scandal which continued to worsen with every passing hour.

“You cannot believe this, Al...

DANZO SHIMURA

“Minato Namikaze,” Hiruzen’s voice cut through the room before Danzo could speak up.

And he watched as the daimyo’s eyes widened, before a bemused smile appeared on his face.

“Namikaze, the Yellow Flash,” he asked as Hiruzen nodded once more, as Danzo found himself defeated by his lateness once more. And he wondered, had he really made a mistake this time again by holding his tongue but not offering...

RHAENYRA TARGARYEN

Days had passed since words had last been exchanged between her and Aegon. Meaningful words.

They still spoke to one another, gave their greetings, smiled in pretense, and laughed with their children, but since that day, she had felt the schism between them widen, as if a line had been crossed, that the thread binding them together had broken.

She often wondered if he felt the same way, yet she lacked the ...

JON SNOW

Jon had never thought that he would get to leave Winterfell, and yet here he was thousands of miles away from his home as he rode towards the capital city of Kingslanding. The journey to the capital was much quieter and somber as the royal family still mourned the loss of the Crown Prince.

Despite his constant desire to leave Winterfell to make something of himself, Jon found himself missing his old home and the people in...

ALBUS DUMBLEDORE

Hogwarts was a school of great importance in the Wizarding World. It was amongst the most ancient and important educational institutes in the world, despite its struggles in the recent times, the school’s history and pedigree made it a place of great respect and reverence.

And as its Headmaster Dumbledore hoped to inspire, and provide a nurturing atmosphere for the young and bright minds of the next generation o...

DANZO SHIMURA

It was rare for someone like him to be threatened given that his existance and operations were a rather well guarded secret, and to most of the village Danzo Shimura was nothing but an old, retired war hero that had once been a teammate of the Sandaime Hokage.

But now, for the first time in many years, Danzo had found an enemy who had uncovered his secret, a stubborn, resilient enemy who plotted against him without a...

HERMIONE GRANGER

The next morning, the castle was filled with rumors and gossip of different kinds. For the weekend had been filled with a flurry of issues that could each occupy the castle’s usual gossip mill for weeks, and yet all of them had happened in a span of half a day.

Half a day.

They had been cleared to visit the dorms, and now everyone was gathered in the Main hall for breakfast before they left for the dorms t...

CERSEI LANNISTER

The caravan rode to Kingslanding with haste, stopping only to take a short respite from the arduous journey and to let their horses eat and forage before taking to the road again.

Cersei did not mind the faster pace of the journey. With every passing village and settlement, she felt her heart ease further and further, as the fear that had gripped her heart ever since she had first stepped into the North began to f...

MINATO NAMIKAZE

The Ninja world was both cruel and unequal. Shinobi from the same village, of the same age would be different from one another because of their talent, hardwork, and lineage.

Minato was one such example, and though he worked much hard, he was not blind to his own talents for the ninja arts. Kakashi had possessed that talent too, and so had Obito and Rin, but Kakashi was a cut above the rest.

Though, none of i...

RHAENYS TARGARYEN

Wars begin in death and treachery, but they are fed on pride. Those had been her grandsire’s words, upon the death of her father. At that time, she was young, too young to see the meaning behind his words or even remember them.

But years later, when the world had not turned so bitter, she had asked the ‘Old King’ why he had not turned every living soul in Dorne to ash for the killing of her father. Why had ...

CREGAN STARK

The rest of the week passed without much fanfare. Sansa and Arya were particularly unhappy about their father’s decision and protested vehemently against being left behind in the North, though for very different reasons.

Sansa, despite her dislike for Joffrey, was still rather enamored with the idea of knights, tourneys, balls, feasts, and so forth. She had grown up hearing tales of these things, and did not wish to...

HEADMASTER ALBUS DUMBLEDORE

There was a reason that he had argued so much against the deployment of the dementors around Hogwarts, for in his mind, there were few creatures fouler than the cloaked that traversed this land than the dementors.

They cared for nothing, had no pleas, had no excuses, and were always hungry for souls and joy. To this day, witches and wizards remain oblivious to the origins of such creatures, but none cou...

MIKOTO UCHIHA

A month had passed since the tragic death of Hatake Kakashi, and now the entire war was officially over as a succinct truce with Kiri was reached as well, and now the village prepared itself for a great transition as the Third Hokage announced his intend to retire.

And so, the village streets were filled with gossip about those contending for the job. Many names were thrown out, though of them only three were actual ...

HARRY POTTER

“I am afraid that will not be possible, Mr Potter,” Professor McGonagall’s answer did little to alleviate his sour mood.

All of the students had gathered outside the castle to hand in their permission slips for the Hogsmeade trip, and the entire Third Year class was leaving for the village. All of them except him.

“But professor, I was hoping that you could sign the slip,” Harry pleaded, but the Transf...

EDDARD STARK

It was as if the fates were plotting against them. Days had passed since Cregan had been found, but Eddard had not been able to make time to meet his son in all that time.

And now, days after Prince Joffrey's death, the castle was beginning to return to normal as the Royal retinue began preparing for their departure.

Reluctant as he was, the trail for the one who had hired the bandits had gone cold, and the man ...

Chapter 29

In a cave hidden deep into the Earth, in the great unknown an old and decrepit man sat there all alone in a chair. His white hair and wrinkly skin told of his age that went beyond the norm, and now he was only yet alive because of the tubes that connected him to the giant statue, that stood behind him.

And as he sat there, the air was suddenly disturbed as the very space inside the cave was distorted as another figure appeared in the cave.<...
