KENSHIRO OUGI
Kenshiro Ougi led the forces as they rushed toward the forces of the lord of Shinobi. The arrows had stopped earlier after about five barrages. The arrows, on closer examination, had been smithed out of chakra metal, and hence, he could reason out that the enemy had a limited supply of them.
Still, for a samurai to be so skilled in the art of archery and use it as such was a testament to their strength. Suddenly, as ...

RHAENYRA TARGARYEN
Weeks had passed since the news of Prince Daemon’s demise had rocked the whole continent. A battle between brothers, a duel not just between men but between dragons reminiscent of the times of Maegor the Cruel, yet this battle had not been part of a grander war.
No, the war was yet to come, and this battle had ended it before it could even begin. The battle had left great scars, Lady Rhaenys Targaryen had been...

In the Greatest of the three cities of Slaver’s Bay, gigantic pyramids overlooked the expanded city of Meereen. Many in number, yet few matched the splendor of the Great Pyramid, touted as one of the wonders of the world with the Golden Harpy atop it, standing there in all its glory for all to see.
The city was ruled by ten Great families, families that traced their origins back to the time of the Ghiscari Empire of the Old. The ten famil...

BRUCE WAYNE
“I am Gotham’s reckoning!” came the answer, ringing alarm bells. He could already tell that they were being surrounded as he spoke, their movements all too familiar to him after years of training in similar manoeuvres.
“The League?” he realized as the man.
“Indeed, at least what is left of it after your brother decided to hunt us down,” came the answer, his voice thick and grizzly as the giant of a ...

MIYUKI KATSUGAWA
“You are leaving again,” she spoke up worriedly as her lord husband reworked his armor after having taken it off only for a few hours. He was tired, she could tell.
“Yes, I am. The enemy marches towards us with all its might. We have no time to waste,” he replied as he tightened his shoulder blade before turning towards her.
She bit her lip.
“But you could stay the night,” she pleaded, a bi...

Tsunade found herself sitting beside her old teammate, who continuously seemed to be looking up and down at her like a gaping fool, his gaze ticking her off until she finally found her patience end.
“Speak, or I shall leave,” she said, and as he opened his mouth, she added threateningly.
“And if it is anything inappropriate, I will bash your head in,” she warned him and saw him halt as he raised his han...

Starfall was somber. The castle, which had once been burnt by the dragons, was somber at the death of a Dragonborn. Or was it just her, she thought as she sat in her room atop the Eastern Tower along the raging shores of Torrentine. Its raging waves had dulled as well since that day, much like her world.
Many a moon had passed since that fateful day, and she had left the capital before it happened as per his wishes. After hearing the rumors...

The little island of land was filled with tension, the air filled with the smell of blood, fire, and the sea. The waves washed on the shore with all their might, much like the two of them.
Daemon’s sword sang through the air. Darksister blurred through the air, aimed at his neck. He ground his feet on the rugged ground and swung at the incoming sword.
The swords met in the air, sending sparks flying, as the...

JIM GORDON
Gotham was a strange city, a resilient city. He had spent nearly all his life in the city and had watched it wade through tough times with his own eyes. He had seen the streets fill with crime and hopelessness, seen the very people sworn to protect the innocents become the very monsters they were supposed to shield the populace from.
Yet the city was resilient, surviving through it all until the times had eventually got...

Yet Miyuki herself was a beauty in her own right, and that part of her didn’t truly trouble her. No, what troubled her were the rumours and the words she had...

Blood filled his mouth as he was pushed back rather violently, sending both of them barrelling into the ground, the force from her push much greater than what could be expected from a woman her size as he was sent crashing into the wall.
“AGHH!” he grunted in pain as his back hit the wall, and he fell down as pain rippled through him. Yet he pushed him up despite the pain, spitting the blood that filled his mouth to the side.

They had come out relatively unscathed out of the battle, his men suffering little to no loss in the small skirmish that had taken place before the Fire Temple had stepped in. So, his men, while unscathed, remaine...

She found herself once more in Slavers Bay, where human flesh was cheaper than bread and wine. Where chains were common and slaves commoner still. The city had seen a great shift in her eyes, though even she had not seen a King arise, for even throughout her long life, the city had been governed by its Wise Masters. And how wise they were.
Meeren, the city was the crown jewel of Slaver’s Bay, the Northern city was the largest and most popu...

Rhaenys Targaryen had thought that losing the crown to her cousin had been nothing much as long as she was able to keep her family together. Ever since the day she had first held her daughter in her hands, the crown had become meaningless to her. Her children and her family had become the things she cherished the most.
That is why the decision of the Council had hurt her, yet she had been able to move on, ignorin...

A Trial by Fire, a test of courage for those who had dedicated their lives to R’hllor. Many had asked for it over the years, some as a test of their devotion and some even as a bluff.
Yet the latter had soon learned of their folly.

Deep in the Black Cells of the Red Keep, the door to a cell opened once more just as dawn was set to break. A person clad in the finest set of clothes walked in slowly, his hair silvery blonde reached down his shoulders, his iliac eyes similar in colour to the prisoner entrapped in the cell.
The night of torture failed to hide away the similarities in their faces as the two Princes and two brothers came face to face, alone, for perhaps the l...
