KONAN
Izuna returned to the balcony just as the match was about to reach its final moments. The Hozuki Kekkei Genkai was a true headache to deal with, and despite the constant training, Anko was struggling against the Kiri genin.
“So, how is the match going?” he asked as he stood by her, and Konan raised a brow.
“I think we are nearing the end of the bout,” but despite that, she was no longer looking at it, as her ga...

DAENERYS TARGARYEN
Thousands of miles away from the Red Keep where the people danced and dined in celebration, Daenerys Targaryen wept in sorrow, as her children were buried into the ground once more.
And it was twice now that she had lost her children, and though these were not humans. The three dragons that had hatched in the pyre lit for her brother and for her child were like her children. They were her hope, a symbol of power...

Back in Marine HQ, the old Lady Tsuru was quite amused as she found herself getting visited by one of the Most Powerful men in the entire Marine organization. The little brat had grown up quite a bit, as he sat there looking down at her with a solemn look.
“I thought that you would be more receptive to my request, ‘great staff officer’?” he began, making her raise a brow. After all, he was far too young to intimidate her.

CASSIUS BLACK
“It’s dragons!” whispered Hermione, as she ambushed the three of them in the library once more. Both Daphne’s and Tracey’s heads snapped towards her, as Cassius continued to work on his Transfiguration homework.
“What?” asked Tracey.
“The first task,” Hermione clarified, clearly flabbergasted by the information, as both Daphne and Tracey realized the gravity of the situation as well.

MADARA UCHIHA
So, it was finally here—the pinnacle of this age of shinobi. And Madara had been fairly disappointed until now, but he hoped that the sage mode would help assuage his boredom.
“You need not be so cautious,” Madara said to the white-haired shinobi who frowned as he gathered his nature energy, as Madara relaxed his muscles.
“I will wait,” he offered, and saw those eyes widen, for in his mind, even his S...

CAPTAIN BARTOLOMEO
While Bartolomeo was an employee of the World Government, the truth was that he hated the organization with every fibre of his being. He was not an anarchist by nature, and was a firm believer in order and justice.
But as it was currently oriented, there was no justice in this world apart from the whims and directives of the ‘Gorosei’ and their creator, the person sitting on the throne.
As a Mar...

CREGAN STARK
The coronation ceremony and the Royal wedding had been combined into one singular entity. Though the realm was at war, the marriage would do much to assuage the uncertainty surrounding the Crown and the succession.
And so, within a few weeks, even as the negotiations for the true peace between the Reach, the Stormlands, and the Crown continued to happen, the time of the Royal Wedding approached.
Though the negot...

MINATO NAMIKAZE
The first four matches were fairly simple, or at least as simple as a match could be in this situation. The first bout had been between a kunoichi of their village and one of Iwa’s geniuses.
Kurenai Yuhi was the daughter of a genjutsu master, and her mastery of the art was at the level of a jounin. But Deidara was nothing to joke at either. The Iwa genin was in a class of his own, having formed an entire battle s...

THEON GREYJOY
The betrayal by the Starks had cut deep. He had never thought that Eddard Stark would imprison him, cut him out as he had, but he was wrong. He was never a son to him, despite how Theon may delude himself, but Stark blood did not flow through his veins, so why had he ever thought that he could be a Stark?
No, he was an outsider. The son of a traitor. A hostage meant to be exploited in war, and so Theon would return t...

Being a Marine meant that one had to be a symbol of respect and dignity for the people, and a symbol of fear for the pirates. Hina had joined the Marines to be that symbol, and given that she was amongst the few in her generation blessed with the powers of a Devil Fruit, she had thought that getting through the academy would be easy for her.
Yet all devil fruits were not created equal, and while she ha...

Suna had provided each team with a separate training ground, though Konoha had chosen to use only one of the provided grounds as the six genin gathered in the clearing for a lesson.
Kurenai had expected a usual training session involving some sparring, chakra exercises, and so forth with their sensei, so she, along ...

Logue Town was a very interesting place. It was one of the key ports in the East Blue region, situated at the mouth of the Grand Line. Hence, it was nearly a given that any ship sailing through this sea would make port there, especially a pirate ship.
It was also the birthplace and the execution site for the former King of the Pirates Gol D Roger, and the reason for this choice remained shrouded in mystery to this day. E...

There were very few Marines who dared to dream. It was in the nature of the organization that it stifled dreams and aspirations. The World Government had no need of dreamers. It needed dogs, loyal and dutiful dogs who would dare not question any of their orders.
