The Crippled Wolf-Stark SI: Ch.76

Chapter 76

VARYS-The Spider

Varys thought himself a great warrior, though he did not wield a blade or a bow. His weapon was perhaps far more potent than both those things could ever be.

He was a merchant of words and whispers, and assassins. Through these very weapons, he had slowly and surely hollowed out an empire and empire that had stood tall for around three hundred years.

And though it was the Baratheons and the Starks who had fo...

GALEN

It was considered lucky for a commoner if they were allowed to step into the Halls of the Red Keep even once, but the castle had now become a regular part of his life.

He saw the stark contrast between the nobles living in opulence and the commoners barely eking out an existence. It was a world of great divide, one that he detested. Yet as a man, he could do little to change this unequal world.

In the end, he was summo...

HINATA HYUGA

“Begin!”

With that shout, the boy in front of her moved like a blur, as Hinata struggled to hold her ground. The first strike came at her chest, and thankfully she was able to parry it away pushing it to the side with the palm of her hand, but just as she was about to try and counter, the boy moved fast, as he spun on his heel and aimed a strike at her shoulder forcing her to defend once more.

PAH!

TYWIN LANNISTER

The festivities for the Royal Marriage came to an end, though for him and the rest of the occupants of that damned room, the celebration had been cut short the moment they had laid their eyes on the monsters in that room.

And Tywin Lannister was not a Godly man, but even he felt the ungodly nature of that thing. It was alive, yet dead, and if the King’s words were true, the enemy in the North threatened to turn e...

CASSIUS BLACK

“Protego Diabolica!” Cassius whispered, and the fire around him morphed into a giant skeleton. It roared as Tom, standing in front of him, whispered the same spell name. For Cassius, however, it was darkness that coiled around him, taking the form of a giant snake that rushed towards him.

BOOOOM!

The darkness clashed against the fire of his skeleton as Cassius, met Tom’s gaze and realised that this was it...

TSUNADE SENJU

Oftentimes, as Tsunade stared at the village, she found it somewhat unrecognisable. The streets, the buildings, and the people remained the same, but one could see the shifting of the era, just as her ancestors had witnessed it when her grandfather had brought an end to the Warring States Era.

But this was different, for while the Village system seemingly remained intact, the world was beginning to change through oth...

GALEN

Galen’s life had become rather hectic after he had taken up a position in the King’s council, and while previously he could turn all his focus on helping the people of the city.

Now, he had to temper that with the rest of his duties. So, despite the Sun having long set, and the streets of the city now lit up by fires, he still sat in his humble little home dealing with the ill who had come seeking his aid.

Cregan sat in the Hand’s solar as they entered the third day of celebration for the Royal Wedding, and the banquets and the feasts would last a dozen more days, along with a tournament that held a prize of over fifty thousand golden stags.

The windows to his side showed only the darkness of the night, for the Sun had long set. The city slept soundly, and he wondered if any of the people who had just witnessed a whit...

The entire school gathered in the stands once more, as the Third and Final task of the Tri-Wizard tournament was set to begin. But before the task, they were set to hold a few exhibition matches, organized to set the mood.

There were going to be a total of three matches, set in such a way as to indicate different levels of mastery over duelling arts.

The first match was set to happen between two students, him a...

There was no man more feared and reviled on the continent than Izuna Uchiha, and looking at him now made her think of the past, and how he had been so little once, filled with so much life and vigor.

But duty and war had ruined him, and now the boy who had once been filled with love and joy was nothing but a cold warrior driven only by purpose and lethality.

DAENERYS TARGARYEN

“Truth is I have come to meet you, Princess Daenerys...” and the words stilled her, and the shift in the man’s posture and demeanor was evident, as Seer Jorah raised her blade once more, preparing himself for battle.

Guards stood watch at her manse at all times. All she needed to do was give one order, and they would all rush to her room, and have the man in chains before he could even harm a hair on her...

The Fourth Great Ninja War lasted for approximately half a decade and resulted in the demise of nearly twenty thousand men, along with the deaths of three Kages. It was one of the most brutal wars, and saw the global order shift from the one established by the mighty Hashirama Senju.

Within but a few days of the war, Kono...

Though to the common eye the world was calm and serene, those with the astute eyes of a ninja could see the flickers of chakra, and hear and see the blurs and whispers as the masters of darkness rushed in and out of the massive compound.

The Hyuga Clan compound was in absolute pandemonium, with shinobi blurring from one building to another as they mobilised their men to search for their lost child. His elder twin’s absence had been the fir...

BALON TARGARYEN

For a year now, a deep sense of melancholy and uncertainty had taken hold over the Red Keep, for though the realm was held together by the King, the King himself was held together by a common son of a Blacksmith.

Barth, the name was nearly synonymous with King Jaehaerys himself, and though the histories may reduce the King's septon to a mere footnote in history, the truth was that his shadow hung far and wide over ...

Daenerys watched as her captors all left her little solar, her betrothed walking out behind them. As he was about to get into the carriage, the boy glanced up towards the balcony one last time, and their eyes met.

She had dreaded meeting with this nephew of hers. For just the very thought of him had her mind reminiscing about her own brother, and how he had been.

 But Aegon was nothing like Viserys. The boy was young,...

Albus stared at his old student and felt nothing but disappointment. In the boy.

But more so in himself, for what stood in front of him—a soul infesting, a young and innocent body like a parasite. Something that was an affront to everything natural and holy about magic, and all of it was because of his faults.

DORAN MARTELL

Doran had never been as agile as his brother. Oberyn was the spear and shield of Dorne, its shining warrior—its Red Viper. Doran was the grass that hid the viper, the one who hid it, protected it, and offered it aid in hunting down its prey.

But grass he may be, but he was Dornish and his heart seared with the same fiery rage as his brother as he remembered the fate of his sister. It was because of this rage that h...

Cassius stared at the silvery form of the Slytherin founder and could not help but be mesmerised. Even through the silver, he could see the color of his eyes, and it was a familiar deep green, as the bearded man eyed him down.

He was an old man with a long white beard and a staff in his hand, but even in death, the proud Salazar’s back refused to bend, as the man stood tall.

The Good Queen was loved by all, and for good reason. The Queen was well known for her generosity and kindness. She was the voice of mercy and benevolence in the Red Keep, and was one of the reasons in his mind that Jaehaerys was as popular and successful as a King.

He saw in her the same kindness as her daughter Maegella as she gazed at him with that smile of hers, and motioned for him to sit down.
