Chapter 15

BENJEN STARK

The castle had not changed much in the years he had been away. The children had grown up so much since the last time he had seen them. The Royal family sat on the stage as well, all of them except the Queen, who was conspicuously absent.

“So, the rumors are true?” he asked his brother, whose hair now had hints of white.

“Which ones?” his brother asked as Benjen pointed toward his brother’s second son, ...

DAPHNE GREENGRASS

The wizarding world was filled with strange and eccentric phenomena, ranging from unique spells to one-in-a-kind creatures, from ghosts to ghouls, and so forth. Amongst these very strange and eccentric occurrences was also the boy who had just left their table.

Cassius Malfoy, the younger twin of Draco Malfoy.

He had been strange ever since he was a kid, and she could say that given that she had known him fo...

MINATO NAMIKAZE

Days, not hours. Days of constant, high-paced, high-focus battles before he finally took some respite. Iwa’s entire bomber squad numbered into thousands, and yet now nothing remained of the entire unit as Minato stood there above a hill watching the planes littered with Iwa’s dead.

It was a slaughter, an absolute slaughter. One he had carried out with his own hands, and despite the remorse and the questions tha...

INUMAKI HERAKLES

And Inumaki felt his worst fears come to life as Loki and Freya familia stood face to face. This was an overture on the part of Freya familia that could not be overlooked, and their presence here, on direct orders of Freya, hinted that she was making a move.

He found the timing of it all much suspicious and troubling and feared the worst.

“This is preposterous!” “How can Freya familia do that!” “Th...

AEGON TARGARYEN

Fighting a war was rather straight forward, it was a game of addition and subtraction—sometimes multiplication and divison. But mostly simply addition and subtraction, and the war was a game in which you just had to make sure that your subtractions in human life were lesser than your opponents over an extended period of time, while your additions in weapons, food, and alliances was more.

It was simple, really. 2024-12-26 18:57:37 +0000 UTC View Post

ROBERT BARATHEON

“I will not stand for this,” his wife screamed in his face, and he doubted half the Winterfell would have heard her shriek as she glared at him with those green eyes of his, like a lioness made to anger.

And he had expected this, yet his mind was made. And though she doubted his love for his children, Robert did love the three little gremlins, especially the younger two, who had inherited none of his eldest’...

IZUNA UCHIHA

The death of his team had been a mystery to him, and he had always been suspicious of foul play, and yet he never had proof of it. The precise attack of Kumo’s team caught them all by surprise and could not have been a coincidence. And yet, despite his initial research, he had found no evidence to the contrary, evidence pointing towards a certain one-eyed war-mongering bastard having a role in that tragedy.

But he h...

Around two years later!

HERMIONE GRANGER

Her Third Year at Hogwarts had begun with another surprise as the Wizarding World held its breath as it saw its most secure and dangerous prison escaped by one Sirius Black.

Black had been sentenced to life in Azkaban for murdering more than a dozen people, including a hero of the Wizarding World named Peter Pettigrew. He was a follower of the Dark Lord known as Voldemort, a m...

Chapter 1-Prologue

ARCTURUS BLACK-(1991)

The Most Ancient and the Most Noble House of Black was nearing its end. The most prominent family of Britain’s Magical World was dying. He was the last that remained of this fabled and storied family, and he was but a dying man barely clinging to life.

His heirs, all taken from him, caught in the middle of a nonsensical war started by a madman.

He had feared this very fate decades ago, his hei...

AIS WALLENSTEIN

The scenes all around her were one of carnage and destruction, in a way reminiscent of the day she had lost everything. She had lost her mother.

And as she thought of that dark day, she gripped her sword tightly in her hand, her left arm lay there limp beside her, and she stood her ground between the corrupted spirit and her fallen comrades.

They had attacked the spirit together, hoping to bring it down, and ...

EDDARD STARK

Eddard watched Cregan walk into his solar. His second son was now dressed in formal garbs for the feast later, though the boy was nervous. He could tell from how his gaze continued to linger on him as he walked towards the desk and the chairs, leaning down on his cane.

“You called for me, Father,” he began briskly as Eddard nodded and motioned for him to sit down.

“Yes, I did,” and the truth was that he ...

FUGAKU UCHIHA

The appearance of the Third Raikage to the front lines had surprised everyone, and had stabilised the crumbling Kumo defences, buying them valuable time for the Third Raikage was a shinobi that one did not face without consequences.

He was arguably one of the strongest shinobi living, rumored to have faced and defeated teh Hachibi all by himself. Something that perhaps only the Shodaime and Madara Uchiha could boast ...

INUMAKI HERAKLES

Fighting the red-haired tamer, Revis was not as easy as he had expected, and as he jumped back and avoided another one of her attacks he could feel himself getting tired.

They had been dungeon diving for days, and Inumaki and Ais had been leading the charge, from the front during the later half of the campaign. And while being High-level adventurers, their endurance was much vast, it was not infinite.

AEGON TARGARYEN

The oath-taking ceremony had gone as per his expectations as the lords of the realm gathered and swore their allegiance to him as the successors to King Viserys’s throne. Most of the Houses were present. Few bent their knees with some grumblings. The reluctance of Ormund Hightower was visible to all, and yet they all bent the knee nonetheless.

All of them except House Velaryon, who chose to ignore the King’s ca...

CREGAN STARK

The Royal Party’s arrival had only increased the bustle of the castle, and despite its massive size, Winterfell was showing its limits as the castle hosted the Royal retinue and put to use all its mighty towers and expanded Halls.

As their father departed with the King, the Royal House was to be shown to their specially prepared abodes. Their mother led the Queen, Robb the Prince, Sansa the young Princess and so for...

MINATO NAMIKAZE

By now, Minato’s team had penetrated deep into Iwa, and it would soon be time for him to leave them. He would separate and move towards the front lines, drawing the attention of Iwa’s forces in the hope that his team would be able to infiltrate and take out the Kanabi bridge.

Already, they had dealt with a few Iwa-nin, and the team’s performance was satisfactory enough. Kakashi’s new jutsu, the one he had p...

GODDESS HESTIA

Hestia was no stranger to death. As a Goddess who had lived for thousands of years, she was far more understanding and aware of human life's frailty. Perhaps this frailty and mortality made humans so attractive to gods and goddesses like them.

But death was one thing. Slaughter was a whole other thing, and what she had witnessed that day was not death. It was a slaughter, and now, despite it being days past the Cath...

EDDARD STARK

The King’s retinue was set to arrive any second now as the whole of Winterfell gathered in the yard for the welcome. There was excitement in the air, the guards, the people, everyone seemed rather excited to have the King of the land gracing them with his presence.

His wife and children seemed excited as well, except for one of them. Cregan’s eyes were steeled as he continued to look at him as if asking him to see...

OROCHIMARU-The Snake Sanin

Summons were perhaps the most interesting and useful tool a shinobi could employ. Especially his own summons, which, much like the slugs summon of Shikkotsu forest and the Toad Summons of Mt. Myoboku, were legendary summons, bringing with them utility and prowess that were in a way second to none.

“Hahaha, interesting,” he whispered as he uncovered one of his eyes, through which he was monitoring the...

RYUU LEON

Ryuu Leon rushed out of the dungeon, her journey back made a lot easier by the healing of her wounds, and even as she ran she could feel it. The difference that her rank up had made, as she felt herself to be faster, stronger and better than before.

And even then the injuries she had sustained prior to the rank up had made it impossible for her to face, the Ikelos familia captain and so she had been ordered to call for I...

RHAENYRA TARGARYEN

The audacity of the Vealryons had caught them all by surprise. The House was considered the sister House of the Royal family, one which had served on the King’s council for the longest of times, one which had married into the Royal family many times and had turned around and stabbed them in the back, allying itself with foreign slavers, as it displayed its hungry ambitions.

An ambition which had been whispered...

EDDARD STARK

Eddard had not felt such unease since the day he had carried her sister’s babe in her arms. Not until that day, had he ever felt so troubled and conflicted, and yet he had hardly slept at ease ever since his little conversation with Cregan.

The words. The insinuation still rang in his ears as he stood over the yard and watched his children spar. And they were his children, both Robb and even Jon, and nothing would c...

KUSHINA UZUMAKI

It had been a few weeks since Izuna-kun had left for his posting, and there was yet to be any report from the border, though there were rumors about several skirmishes breaking out, but that was quite the norm.

Things in the village itself were tense as the village prepared to face the pincer attack from Iwa and Kumo, and sadly for her, nearly everyone she held dear was to be involved in the defence of the village ...

A sense of unease had been keeping him on the edge ever since the expedition had begun, and their Goddess had shared this premonition with her, making him even more wary.

It was why had slowed the pace of the expedition, not to overlook anything and yet just as they had been about to depart from the floor 18th, Riveria, Inumaki-kun had stopped, glancing towards the entrance before his fears were...

CREGAN STARK

Cregan had long contemplated on just how much to divulge to his father, and in the end, he had decided to tell him enough to figure out how much on his own. For all his faults, Eddard Stark loved his children and kin, and he hoped the man would take his warnings about Joffrey to heart.

He had tried to influence Sansa as much as he could, but he had been away from her and the rest of his siblings for years, and letters ...

SHIKAKU NARA

Two weeks, that was the time the young Uchiha had needed to make his preparations, as the Snake Sanin interrogated a few captured Kumo-nin to identify all their routes, encampments and formations.

How the golden haired jounin had done this, Shikaku did not wish to know.

But the plot was set, and it was time to act.

If their intel was correct tonight, Kumo would be attacking one of their flanks, using the c...

DINOYSUS-Enyo

Demeter watched as the Goddess of the Harvest folded onto herself as he sauntered towards her and seeing her cower in fear at his gaze, made him shiver with excitement. It seemed he had trained her well.

Demeter was the scapegoat he had chosen, to hideaway his identity as Enyo. He had blackmailed her using her children’s lives as leverage, and what a fool she was to compromise on her own free will just because of s...

VISERYS TARGARYEN

There were times when Viserys thought that if times had been different perhaps he would have been a different man as well. If he had been challenged as their grandfather had been, or as the Conqueror had been then his legacy and life would be different.

Alas, he was challenged but in the most cruel way. Challenged in a way similar to Maegor had been, challenged with the lack of an heir, and now he was faced with ...

Tyrion smelled the capital before he even walked through its walls, and immediately began to think about his decision to come to the wretched place. Though, as he thought of the wonders awaiting him in the North, from the vaunted and histories castle of Winterfell to the enigmatic Wall and the fabled Night Watch with its twenty towers guarding the realm of men from dangers unknown, the doubts that had crept up vanished i...

CREGAN STARK

The Journey back to Winterfell was liberating and much lighter, at least for the horses carrying his luggage as he found himself two trunks and a whole lot of gold lighter, around more than fifty thousand golden stags lighter, after having managed to convince the Lord Manderly to go along with his little plot.

Cregan’s ability to act had been much limited when he had been sent to the capital. He had always been much ...
