BAELON TARGARUEN
With the King confined to his bed, and the Queen sent to Dragonstone for safety and protection, the burdens of the realm all fell onto Baelon’s shoulders. The legacy of Jaehaerys Targaryen was hard to carry in times of peace and prosperity, and Baelon had been thrust into leading the realm during a plague.
He could not have been put to the test at a worse time. Her father’s support for the Hospital and Galen h...

DAENERYS TARGARYEN
Daenerys had accepted the King’s offer to regain control over her life. To regain some semblance of agency and security, and yet that feeling had been ripped from her in an instant when the King had asked his men to arrest her just to save his wife.
It was not an entirely surprising thing, for she was but a fugitive to him. A stranger, whose life held no meaning. Still, the actions had pained her.
She wa...

NARCISSA BLACK
Choice.
Narcissa had long convinced herself that she had lost her power of choice years ago. She thought it a consequence of the privilege afforded to her as a daughter of House Black. Her entire future had been decided for her.
Her House had been chosen for her even before she had set foot at Hogwarts, and the same could be said for the rest of her life as well. Her marriage was decided by her father, and the...

ASUMA SARUTOBI
Few people could boast of surviving a confrontation against one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. The Bloody Mist’s shinobi had a history with violence, and none exemplified this more than its most respected unit—the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
Seven shinobi, each wielding one of Kiri’s treasured blades, formed one of the most fearsome units of the entire continent. They were not just feared for their prowe...

SIRIUS BLACK
Sirius sat at the table, still and somber, and while usually he would spend his time at the table eating and taunting the Slytherins, now his eyes continued to linger on the seventh-year senior from Hufflepuff, Carina Dubov.
The brunette was a sort of recluse and hardly ever interacted with anyone beyond her House. Yet it was not her interaction with other Houses that intrigued him, but her interactions with one Ted T...

“What the hell were you thinking?” Zabuza nearly screamed at the scum in front of him, as the bastard had the audacity to laugh as he answered.
“I just did not know a so-called ninja would be so fragile,” and he had the audacity to laugh, for he did not realise the sheer trouble that he was in.
There would be consequences for this. Severe consequences.
“What does it matter if the girl lives or not!”...

GALEN
The plague tore through the Capitol like a swarm of locusts, and despite his best efforts, Galen had yet to get a handle on the situation, and for good reason.
As soon as teh gates and the ports were closed, the rumor about the plague spread like fire, and the people began to panic, despite his own continued assurances. They tried to flee the city, tried to run away, and for good reason.
Many alive today had survived t...

JON STARK
They had ridden to the Wall in pure horror. Jon had feared absolute carnage, yet the castle seemed fairly calm and quiet as his horse rode through the walls, and he asked the guards for a chance to meet with his uncle.
The men seemed tired and afraid, and horrified. But not hopeless.
In the end, he was led to the top of the fortress, where his nuncle stood gazing down at a field of broken and unmoving bones, fitted...

The Marauders had a secret. Well, they had many secrets, but only one that could split their group apart.
Sirius had taken to calling it their furry little secret. But even those words did not lessen the severity of Remus’s position, and now the secret was out. Thankfully, for them, they were lucky that it was Alder Evans who had uncovered their little problem and their solution for it, otherwise the Marauders would...

Asuma Sarutobi was a rather good teacher. The man had the patience of a saint, and his prior experience as a sensei showed itself as he helped each of them progress in their skill set.
It took Shikamaru and Ino a few days to get the hang of water walking, after which he had them spar with him constantly. Hikari himself had learned a few tricks from the man about Katon, but until his issue with his sword was resolved, ...

War was upon them. Full-fledged and deadly war.
And the people who had the power to do anything were simply too blind to do anything of value. Their new Minister, Harold Minchum, had come into power with a promise of reform, yet he was surrounded by Voldemort’s inner circle, who continued to hobble him and any of his reforms.
And that was the harsh truth that kept Alastor awake at night, for this was the grea...

JAEHAERYS TARGARYEN
The fever ran hot, as Jaehaerys found himself both old and tired as plague once more came to devastate his family and his people just as it had years ago.
Years ago, at the beginning of his rule, he had learned perhaps one of the harshest lessons that disease cared not for Kings and Queens. It cared not if you are pious, or cruel, or King or of common birth, for if the Stranger has marked you for death, then no...

The skies above Dragonstone were dark, yet in that darkness, two men moved quietly over the rocks as they headed for the castle, their ship far away as Euron Greyjoy and Jon Connigton moved through that familiar terrain.

Catching cats. Babysitting. Painting fences. Trimming lawns.

There was no official explanation for the reason for the existence of such missions, except to support budding shinobi ...

The prank from the Marauders set off a sort of war. House Slytherin was not one to back down after they had been humiliated twice over, so within the Halls and corridors of Hogwarts, a war started between House Slytherin and House Gryffindor.
The Snakes chose to strike with spells rather than pranks, and the Lions struck back. The Prefects had long lost their patience, and even Alder’s efforts became useless, for eac...

Plague.
And the word stirred up long-lost memories in her heart. Memories from when she had been young and hale, with enough will and energy to ride the Seven Kingdoms atop her Silverwing. When she was not yet old and frail, and her first child had not yet been born.
Even back then, it had begun just like this, with a simple complaint of fever and chills, and what had followed suit was death and tragedy th...

Daenerys did not know what to think of Myrcella Baratheon. She had grown up hearing tales about the Lannisters and the Baratheons, which made her think of the two families as some sort of Monsters, yet the girl she had met was no monster.
She was smart, steadfast, and extremely loyal to her King and husband. But she was no monster. They met three times before Daenerys was granted an audience with the King, and e...

Thousands had lost their lives, and while love had bound his hands at that time, regret chained them again for now.

Alder had no plan on letting that monster gain power and wreak havoc across the wizarding world as he had before, but he was not naive enough to think t...
