SER WILLAM ROYCE
As soon as Lord Corbyn’s retinue arrived at the Eyrie, he felt something was wrong. It was a hunch, for on the surface, nothing was wrong about the man’s arrival or his retinue, but Willam had fought a grinding war for several years, and in all that time, he had learned one simple rule.
If you feel something is wrong, then it probably is.
Aegon must have felt something similar even back in the capital. T...

LADY ASTRAEA
It had been nearly ten hours since she had sent that kid after her familia members. From the intel the guild had provided, she knew that her children had gone to the 30th floor to deal with Rudra's familia.
In normal circumstances, sending only one adventurer as backup into such a deep floor was simply suicide. And yet he was not a regular adventurer, and as she stood outside the dungeon she prayed in her heart for the...

INEI YOTSUBA
The atmosphere in the waiting room for the final of Monolith Code was literally chilling as he sat there with two of the School’s premiere female icons standing beside him, glaring at the other two contestants.
Both Miyuki and Mayumi were glaring so hard that the poor bastards sitting at the corner of the bench were shivering both in fear and the cold that was permeating throughout the room. It was fun to watch two ...

LADY JESSICA ATREIDES
Jessica watched as the ship landed on the platform, Hwatt stood beside her as they all gathered to welcome the Duchess in all but name, her daughter Alia to Summerhall.
Leto was in the garden, he had wanted to come as well, but she had talked him out of it, asking him to rest while she welcomed their daughter to the castle.
Her relationship with Alia was unique, undergoing the ritual of becoming a Rever...

VISERYS TARGARYEN
Today was supposed to be a joyous day, one where two of the realm’s strongest houses were going to ally with one another. A day where decades of animosity were to be buried with a single marriage between Alicent Hightower and Aegon Targaryen.
Daemon’s actions from that night had damaged the honor of Otto’s daughter, and despite the truth of that night, maybe the rumors had begun already and would chase afte...

SAERA BLACKFYRE
Saera Blackfyre was a special child. One born with a destiny and burden that had come to her from a lineage that went back hundreds of years. She was an avenger, the last remnant of a lineage robbed of its birthright, the last flagbearer of the legacy of House Blackfyre—the true heirs to the Iron Throne.
And yet she had desired none of it. None of the legacy, none of the burdens. No, the truth was Saera Blackfyre...

KICHIJOU MASAKI-The Crimson Prince
Masaki was the scion of the Ichijou clan. He had been hailed as a prodigy ever since he was a child, believed to be peerless in his age group and yet all that praise had proven itself to be a lie.
He was not the prodigy he believed himself to be. He was strong, but he would admit openly that he was not as strong as Inei Yotsuba. He had expected himself to be distraught, to be angry at realising t...

The Nine School Competition was coming to a close, with only two events remaining. The Female Mirage Bat and the male-specific Monolith Code were the only two events left, and they were essentially the highlight of the event. This year, they were considera...

Life had changed much for Alia Atredies, and she had gone from being a second daughter to the heir of House Atredies. From being afraid and little to full grown girl, one who now sat in the seat of the Duke of Caladan ruling over the ancient seat of House Atredies, governing over these lands as her father and his forefathers did so before her.
To her, though, it felt as if she was not doing anything different, for sh...

The Astrea familia stood for justice, equality, and peace. They were the harbingers of hope for the populace, and yet what was that justice remained a debate even in their own familia, with each member of their family harbouring their own definition.
Alize had her own definition. It was to smile when few could and give hope when everything seemed lost. That was her definition of justice, and ...

And as she stared at her face in the mirror, she found her eyes tracing the features of her face, trying to discern the difference her ...

A much contrast from the chunin exams of his time, and he could not be more prouder as he saw both participants and the populace laughing and smiling as the exam began.

Life in the Eyrie was mostly monotonous. All the tasks of ruling had always been so effectively delegated by Aegon that she rarely had to worry about anything. Not that her council was ever ignored. On the other hand, Aegon would always force her to attend Council Meetings, and other important negotiations and meetings, directing the people towards her himself as he tried to take a backseat and not infringe upon her po...
