The Crippled Wolf-Stark SI: Ch.55

Chapter 55

EDDARD STARK

With each passing day, the Red Keep kept turning into a prison for him and his men, and it was no different today as he found himself in his solar, arguing with his Master of Coin.

“They are attacking the North, my land, and yet you ask me to stay here,” he argued with the old fat lord from White Harbor, and this was the first time a Manderly had broken faith with a Stark.

“Who am I to ask anything of you,...

CAPTAIN BARTOLOMEO ‘THE CANNIBAL’

Justice was a term thrown around rather loosely. Each person he had met had his own definition of this word, one which was embroidered into the cape of every marine.

Some used it as a shield for their own nefarious gains, others thought it to be the maintenance of the status quo. Everyone had their own definition, and those who did not were too insignificant and did not matter at all in this wo...

CASSIUS BLACK

Until now, Cassius had never been to the Headmaster's Office. And the place was as magical and intriguing as he had hoped it to be. It was small, but the walls were littered with magical artifacts and other little knick-knacks.

He could not recognise most of them, except for one. A small, lighter-shaped object. The Deluminator. As his gaze lingered on the object a little longer, the Headmaster smiled, cutting in.

“You know you are not as bad as I thought you would be, kid,” the giant monster she had once feared added from behind the cage, as she sat there hugging her knees.

“If only you weren’t dying, you and I could have become really good friends,” the Sanbi, or rather Isobu, added, his words making her heart skip a beat.

“I would like to think that we are good friends,” she replied wi...

CREGAN STARK

The war was over, and after the demise of Renly, the men of the Reach and the Stormlands’ were quick to lay down their arms, and so hostages were taken and divided between the various castles of Riverrun, until a final accord was reached.

But winning the war was the easier thing. It was winning that was troublesome. The legitimacy of their war came from Myrcella’s heritage and the honor of House Stark, both of whi...

Lucius Malfoy stood at the centre of courtroom number ten, with the Minister and the whole jury seated above him. The expectations had been that the man would plead ‘not guilty’ and that he would fight tooth and nail to avoid going to prison.

Yet much to the surprise of everyone, Lucius Malfoy had done no such thing, and had pled guilty to all charges brought against himself, and even now as he stood there at the centre of the Hall, he ...

He had waited for many a millennium to achieve his purpose, inciting conflict between the incarnations of Indra and Ashura again and again, so that he might achieve his purpose for his mother.

He had come close, but success had eluded him. Even now, with the failure of Obito, he had thought that he was poised for failure once more, even though this incarnation of Indra was the most driven and powerful one yet. Even amongst his peers, Madara...

Decades after his death, the world still remained ensnared by the words of ‘that man’—words spoken in between laughs, just before his execution—words which continued to inspire thousands of pirates to this day.

Gold Roger, the Pirate King. His words had set ablaze an age of piracy and, and the Marines had been trying to stem the tide of this rising age ever since.

On the morning of the battle, Margary Tyrell walked into the tent of her King and Lord Husband and screamed at the sight she saw, for there lay her King and her brother, naked as the day they were born, with nothing but sheets to cover them as they lay there with wine strewn across the floor, and the smell of death thick in the air.

And so, the war of succession ended not in battle, but with poison and suicide. With their King dead, the arm...

He had scoured through nearly every book, every tome in the Black Family library, yet he had yet to come up with an explanation for the way the Horcruxes had reacted. The Black Family library was one of the most extensive libraries in the Wizarding World, and for it to lack any material on this meant that any search otherwise would also be useless.

He was in uncharted territory.

“Damn it all,” he cursed as ...

The Wizarding World of Britain was a lot different today than it had been a few days ago. The decadence and the status quo that had managed to survive two wars were finally breathing their last as anger and frustration with the established order grew beyond reason.

Fear of the likes of which people had not experienced since the death of the Dark Lord more than a decade ago, was prevalent once more as families, Mu...

Itachi was strong. There was no doubt about it. He faced chunin and Tokubetsu jounin daily because of his rank in the Police Force. People around him praised him for being a genius and compared him with his brother, yet he had always known they were wrong.

A genius he may be, but he could not compare to his brother. Izuna Uchiha had been a household name by the age of nine and had an S-rank bounty on his head by the ...

Aegon Targaryen, the name was once synonymous with Aegon the Conqueror—the man who first conquered Westeros and its Seven Kingdoms. For a hundred years, if anyone was to utter that name, then the person that came to mind at first was ‘The Conqueror’.

Lucius Malfoy scanned through the frightened crowd, running around like headless chickens and revelled in the power and the fear that he had so missed. It had been decades since he had seen people cower like this in front of him, and he had sorely missed this sensation, as the men around him wreaked havoc everywhere.

They had especially waited until after the match, for he had reasoned that, cautioned as they may be, few Aurors would be abl...

He was aware of their individual prowess and was a bit excited to see them act as a team, especially when being tested by none other than Konan.

And he was not the only one.
