Chapter 14

DUKE LETO ATREIDES

Yesterday’s events still rang in his head; even after an entire sleepless night, he had failed to grasp the sheer absurdity and severity of just what had happened in these very Halls.

He had expected the day to be eventful. Meeting a Freemen Naib was going to be interesting. And it had been Stilgar, which had been quite a surprise. He had learned much about the Fremen from their short meeting and gained both a...

The Burnt Prince- GOT SI Ch.19

Chapter 19

Two months had passed since the Great Burning of Meereen, where several manses and fields in the city had been burnt by what was declared a Dothraki raid. A lie yet one written by those in power, and so few could challenge their word.

The Dothraki had come indeed, more accurately they had been led to many manses and fields, with both getting burnt and looted, their occupants either taken away as slaves or pushed into the very flames that ra...

FREIDA REISS

Freida Reiss was born a noble girl. The eldest of her father’s four children, she had always known her duty, always known of the fate she would have, the weight that rested on her shoulders.

She smiled and laughed even as the weight continued to grow. Uncertainty continued to gnash at her as the expectations to overpower a curse that had lasted for over a hundred years weighed her down.

Yet she must do so. She ...

ERWIN SMITH

It had been quite some time since Erwin Smith had been back to his hometown. The years had done little to change the place, the houses were the same, so were the people, yet he was not the same Erwin who had left this place all those years ago.

Around ten years ago an angry ignorant child had left this place in search of answers, he had joined the basic training and excelled in it, finally joining the Survey Corps to sa...

Chapter 1

A hundred years ago, a great war erupted in the Eldian Empire. It was a deadly affair that was unlike anything ever seen in history. The war was between people closely related to the King himself, and it would cause so much strife for the King, seeing his own kin turn on one another, that he would give up his own empire.

That man was King Fritz, and with a cabal of loyal men and women, he would leave for an isolated island, renouncing war and leaving beh...

SHISUI UCHIHA

“You,” he asked simply too perplexed by the notion of fighting the daimyo-sama himself, that he forgot his manners.

“...daimyo-sama,” he added as soon as he got his bearings, though the young lord did not seem to mind his lapse in manners as he smiled, still chakra rushing off of him as waves, showing highly trained control.

“Indeed, me. Do not worry, though, Shisui Uchiha, I am not so easy to kill,...

As Lady Jessica sat before her Duke, a storm of doubt and consternation raged within her. Her internal struggle was palpable, a clash of many facets of herself. The Duke, perceptive as ever, sensed her turmoil but did not rush her to speak.

Within Lady Jessica, a battle of identities raged. The Bene Gesserit sister, the apprentice of the Reverend mother, the one raised by the secret sisterhood, was at odds with the mo...

Shisui Uchiha, a prodigy from the Uchiha clan, knelt before the young Fire Daimyo in the training grounds. The honor of being selected for the Guardian Twelve, the elite group protecting the leader of the Fire Country, was undeniable. Yet, a recent revelation gnawed at him. The strained relationship between Konohagakure, his village, and the capital, underscored by the treasonous act of the esteemed elder Danzo Shimura, cast a shadow on this relationship.

LETO ATREIDES

Leto observed the Fremen's departure from his solar, their absence leaving a palpable void. The room was hushed, each person grappling with the weight of the recent events in these Halls.

No one spoke a word. Gurney was quiet and contemplative, as was Thufir, and Leto’s fingers tapped the table slowly.

Kazab’s intervention had gone beyond anything he had expected. The revelations made by the young man had b...

Daemon Targaryen was accustomed to death and killing. He had himself slain hundreds, thousands of men until now, with his own hands. Yet his killings had been done in retaliation, drawing his blade against people who stood against him, trying to do the same to him.

Yet even he had not seen this level of butchery. The Wise Masters of Meereen were slavers dealing in human flesh, and they had done so for centuries now, and that brought with it...

MINATO NAMIKAZE

Observation skills were crucial for a shinobi. In a world shrouded in secrecy and subterfuge, the ability to see beyond the surface was paramount. Thus, Minato couldn't help but notice Kushina's somber mood upon her return from the capital. He waited patiently, hoping she would confide in him, but weeks passed without a word about her meeting with the Daimyo. Finally, he decided to broach the subjec...

In the solar, he had used the Voice. And he had used it masterfully, focusing it only on her, his ability and control over the prowess rivalled that of a Reverend Mother, strengthening her conjecture that this person was non...

“I would win,” and those words were said with full seriousness as Leto found himself staring at Harkonnen butcher Inzal Kazab.

Leto's meeting with Kazab was far from what he had envisioned. He had sought Kazab, yes, but this unexpected encounter was a twist he hadn't seen coming.

And then there was the other problem. Inzal was young—younger than he had imagined. His face reminde...

Tsunade was yet to give her answer, and the way she was spending so much time in the capital and their new daimyo’s loft ambition hinted at a greater plan. Now, it would all depend on what s...
