Hi all,
Here’s the second chapter for the week. This one gave me a massive headache.
Chapter 28
Ash eyed Paul warily. He still wasn’t convinced the man wouldn’t attack him if he got the chance.
"What is the top prize?" Ash asked. "The Keystone?"
"Who knows?” Paul replied. “But it must be something good if the Tower Association and Team Magma are both after it. They must know something we don’t."
"Team Magm...

Hi all,
Here’s the first chapter for the week.
Chapter 32
The Griever approached Harry, its wings tucked into its sides. It was much larger than the others and had a thick, dark mane, leading him to believe it was the Alpha.
Harry's hand instinctively moved toward his weapon, muscles tensing as the beast drew near. The text above its head showed that it was level sixty-five. Not something he wanted to fight.
The Gri...

Hi all,
Here’s the final chapter from last week. This week's schedule will be posted shortly.
Chapter 86
The grand opening had been a remarkable success. Lucas sat in his office, going over the sales figures as evening fell. Every Eevee and most of the eggs had sold out—a fantastic result that left his inventory nearly depleted. Fortunately, another batch of eggs would be produced over the next few days.
He'd anticipate...

Hi all,
Here’s the third chapter for last week. The Resurgence chapter will be out tomorrow.
Chapter 102
Harry walked through the grand entrance of MACUSA headquarters alongside his grandfather. The lobby's ceiling stretched impossibly high, adorned with murals depicting America's magical history. Wizards and witches in formal robes hurried past them, busy with their own matters.
"Ready for this?" Charlus asked.
Harry shr...

Hi all,
Here’s the second chapter for the week.
Chapter 24
Harry bolted upright in bed, his heart hammering against his ribs. The nightmare clung to him like a second skin—his body transforming, black wind replacing flesh and bone until he resembled Typhoon more than himself. Worse still had been the complete lack of control as he'd slaughtered everyone he loved, one by one, their terrified faces turning blank as life fled their ey...

Hi all,
Here’s the first chapter for the week.
Chapter 27
Ash's eyes snapped open, alerted by a noise. He relaxed when he realised where it was coming from. The metal groaned around him, shifting and settling as if the massive vessel were still somehow alive despite being grounded for centuries.
He sat up silently, careful not to disturb Erika and Zinnia. He decided to let them rest some more, since they had a big day ahead of ...

Chapter 31
Harry and Celeste emerged from the gate into the Shadowlands. He looked around to get his bearings.
They stood on the edge of a barren wasteland. Dead trees jutted from cracked earth like skeletal fingers, their branches twisted and bare against a sky stained the colour of faded bruises. Perpetual dusk shrouded every...

Chapter 85
Lucas sprawled on the sofa, staring at the ceiling as his mind replayed the day's chaos. The television droned in the background, some mindless game show providing white noise. Sabrina sat across from him, legs tucked beneath her as she read a book.

Chapter 5
Harry stared at Hadrian, waiting for his older self to start talking. He wanted some answers.
Hadrian turned slowly. "I'm assuming you're referring to the duel."
"You know bloody well what I'm referring to," Harry said. "You took over my body without permission. One minute I was fighting, and the next I was a passenger in my own body."
"Would you ...

Harry stared at the transforming vessel. Typhoon's essence poured into the human shell, stretching and warping it beyond recognition. The young man's skin split further along his spine, dark wind howling from within.
"What's happening?" Harry shouted to Kaze over the roaring gale. "Why is he manifesting directly i...

Chapter 26
Blood dripped from Ash's knuckles as he stood over his fallen opponent. The creature's final twitches gradually subsided, its eyeless face frozen in what might have been surprise. The arena fell silent, thousands of clicking mouths suddenly still.
Ash backed away cautiously, keeping his eyes on the surrounding creatures. None moved to stop him as handlers dragged the cor...

The courtroom buzzed with whispers while they waited for the trial to begin. Harry studied Remus Lupin out of the corner of his eye. Despite his shabby appearance, he carried himself with quiet dignity.
"You said you were friends with my parents," Harry said.
Remus nodded. "James, Sirius, Peter and I were inseparable at Hogwarts."

Harry hefted a wardrobe across the dormitory. He manoeuvred it carefully between the rows of freshly assembled beds. With a grunt, he positioned it against the wall and stepped back to assess his work.

Here’s the final chapter for the week. Lucas and Sabrina have to deal with the aftermath, and he finally moves his breeding operation.
Chapter 83
The camera flashes blinded Lucas, who shielded his eyes with his forearm. A wall of microphones thrust toward his face as reporters shouted questions over one another. Chaos had descended within minutes of Rayquaza placing the massive temple structure on his newly purchased land.

Harry spread the newspapers across the kitchen table, his jaw clenching with every headline.
