Chapter 43: Tending to Wounds
[Early Morning — Guest Quarters, East of Red Keep]
"I believe you now have a decent understanding of the situation?"
I nodded. It was indeed a complicated and overwhelming situation to take in all at once.
"I do believe so," I replied, "Although I cannot promise it won't be messy. I have never interacted with them, nor do I have much information about everything else."...

[Early Morning — Red Keep, King’s Landing]
{Cersei Lannister}
He was a handsome man.
He didn’t dress like a sorcerer, nor did he dress like someone beneath the High Septon. He was simply a handsome man of foreign descent, clad in elaborate attire. The only Westerosi trait about him was a slight resemblance to the Dornishmen. Otherwise, he claimed to hail from Ulthos.
“So, you are...
Chapter 41: Coalition
[Late Evening — Lounge of West Gate Brothel, King’s Landing]
{Petyr Baelish}
I do not fear a man who is full of rage, can kill a hundred men, or break a thousand gates.
I fear a man who remains calm even in the vilest of places and the most ghastly of situations.
"Certainly not the luxury I expected from the brothel owned by the kingdom’s Master of Coin." He sat with hi...
Chapter 40: A Sorcerer and Two Whores**
[Red Keep, King’s Landing]
{Cersei Lannister}
Day after day, the fear of people leaving Joffrey's side has grown larger.
Jaime was still trapped, and the Kingdom could do nothing about it.
Even when I begged for their help, they could not help. They refused to.
"Do you wish to have someone sent for Uncle Jaime’s rescue, Mother?"
Oh, poor child. He ...
Chapter 39: Crow’s Eye (2/2)
A sorcerer and an assassin—two men who were never meant to mix, yet they stood in the same place.
“You know me, don’t you?”
The man stared at me for a second before turning his head away. “Euron Crow’s Eye Greyjoy,” he said. “Your name is infamous.”
This made me laugh. “And I know what you are too, a man from a group far more sinister than any known assa...
Chapter 38: Crow’s Eye (½)
[Slaver’s Bay]
{Mateo of the Faceless Men}
“What… kind of monster are you?”
No sorcerer, no human should be able to fight in that condition. No human should be able to defeat the Faceless Men without a weapon, and even a sorcerer should fall against the techniques of the Faceless.
“I should be the one asking you that question.” He asked standing with his arms slashed, sta...
Chapter 37: Masks.
“You are leaving?” She slumped a little upon hearing this. “I thought you would travel with us to Westeros?”
“That was the plan, but unfortunately, I will have to divert.”
Overextending wasn't the order of the day.
“It would be quite difficult to traverse this desert without you around,” Ser Jorah also showed a disappointed look. “We had gotten too used to your company.”
It ...
Chapter 36: Swaying the Masses
[Late Evening — Wyker’s Bar, Qarth]
“Those damned foreigners.”
Amidst the whispers of the quiet bar, the loud crash of a cup breaking against a wall and staining it brown echoed.
“They took our food, our wealth, and now they even want our people!”
“Quiet, Donavan. If the guards or any of the Thirteen’s men hear you, you’ll be forced into hard labor.”
T...
Chapter 35: Quieting Qarth (2/2)
[Tower of the Undying]
{Daenerys Targaryen}
"Be not worried, Mother of Dragons."
The man's words held no convincing strength.
"You shall find your answer in the tower, through prophetic visions and knowledge of the lost."
My hatchlings. He promised I would have a vision of their location inside the tower. It gives you visions and answers your worries, he said.
Chapter 34: Quieting Qarth (½)
[Three Days Later — Qarth]
{Jorah Mormont}
This place was awfully perfect.
“Please, do enjoy the food and the drinks. They have been personally prepared by our best cooks, and most of the drinks are unique to Qarth.”
Blood-red wine, a bitter taste yet a sweet aftertaste—something that felt the total opposite of any other drink I had previously tasted.
The scent w...
Chapter 33: Essos.
[A month and half — Red Waste]
Essos.
That was the continent where I stood. Not much was available on this place, mostly because there were no written records that I could study or examine.
“One would think you are inscribing spells of sorcery if they see those writings.”
Language, writing, and even the ways people communicated were significantly different in these lands compared to any o...
Chapter 32: A Sorcerer
[Late Evening — Khaleesi’s Bathhouse]
{Daenerys Targaryen}
Targaryens are made of fire and fury.
Our blood is hotter than lava, thicker and much more viscous than the blood of those traitors.
None could defeat us. None had the blood of the dragon inside of them.
We, the Targaryens are the blood of the dragon —the true heirs of the seven kingdoms and the descent of the...
Chapter 31: New Beginning
‘Chaos, quite satisfactory.’
I stirred things up enough that not a single individual had the time to breathe. So, it best be satisfactory.
‘Damage to the world was quite decent.’
Killing the hero, causing a continental war just for it to evolve into a world war between the world of magic and without.
Yeah, it was definitely worse than the previous two world wars that they h...
END OF ARC 1:
Chapter 30: The End of Everything
[Present Time — Inside Hogwarts]
{Aurora Sinistra}
“We are under attack!”
This is not good.
This is horrific!
“Snape.” I had to call the man. He was lost in his thoughts, his mind cold from the death of Dumbledore. “We have to move. The whole school is under attack, the students' lives are in danger....
Chapter 29: The Death of the Old Wizard
[Present Time — Outskirts of Hogwarts]
{Tom Marvolo Riddle “Voldemort”}
“M-My lord, is it wise to attack now? To attack without gathering our entire army?”
It was a question that plagued my mind as well. Worry, though never shown, did seep inside me.
We had barely a fraction of what we once had, with men still scattered throughout the lands, yet we came here — t...
Chapter 28: Strikes Back!
[Late Night — Dumbledore’s Office, Hogwarts]
{Severus Snape}
“You had been called by him, weren’t you?”
“Multiple times.” My answer wasn’t a lie. He knew about everything, and I was obligated to tell him the truth. “And each time, I left with a scar.”
I extended my arm, the burn marks from the Morsmordre spell. The spell, while used to signal his arrival...
Chapter 27: Embracing Chaos
[Evening — Near Witchery]
{Nymphadora Tonks}
Should I tell him?
Will he think that I am weird? It hasn't even been that long since we have known each other?
Don't people usually take time to develop these feelings? Am I confused?
Maybe, I should take time to think about it.
Yeah, I should.
But for how long do I have to wait?
Even now,...
Chapter 26: When For One Everything Comes Together, For The Other Everything Falls Apart
[Daybreak of Monday — Dumbledore's Office, Hogwarts]
{Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore}
“Ugh…”
“Are you alright?”
He fell on the ground, gripping his forearm and clamoring in pain.
Squatting down, it fell in my sight.
“By Merlin…”
Snape groaned, pain prominent in...
Chapter: Fall of One, Rise of Another
[Saturday — Order of Phoenix Headquarters]
{Nymphadora Tonks}
This… was insane.
“I consider you all to be the most capable of your art.”
Professor Dumbledore had never shown this much attention to me. But well, the matter in hand required him to be attentive to everyone, and win everyone over.
“Each of you are skilled enough that you can save yourself and...
Chapter 24: Taming the Blacks**
[Daybreak —Malfoy Manor]
Bellatrix Lestrange —No, her husband was dead and she was a widow. She also hated her husband. Yet still kept the name Lestrange.
But for me, she was a Black. She was one of the connections I could make with the Blacks. Sirius was dead, killed by the Death Eaters as they escaped the prison.
So she was a link that I needed.
“Why would he not save...
Chapter 23: Striking When the Iron is Hot
[Early Morning — Ministry of Magic Headquarter]
{Cornelius Oswald Fudge}
“Sir, are you alright?”
My hands trembled, vision blurred and even the pain of the glass shards cutting my feet didn't register.
“You are bleeding, sir!”
“Huh?” I looked down and I was indeed bleeding, the glass that fell shattered and slit my foot a little. “Oh.”
Chapter 22: Jailbreak
[Wednesday — Malfoy Manor]
{Narcissa Malfoy}
N-No.
Why?
This cannot be true. Surely not!
“Unfortunately, I do not think you will be able to keep most of what you own.”
This cannot be!
“Most of the money in your treasury, most of the things inside the manor and even some of the properties that you own will be confiscated .”
No! I cannot al...
Chapter 21: Left to Rot
[Early Morning — Minister of Magic’s Office]
{Cornelius Oswald Fudge}
“Minister.”
No.
“Minister.”
This is not good, this is disastrous.
“Minister Fudge!”
“Huh? Oh.” I had to drop the paper on the table, words down. “Yes?”
“Do we release a statement?” He was just as worried as I was, even the thunderous wind was calmer ...
Chapter 20: Secret Ploys
[East Wing Care Center, Miles from Azkaban]
{Nymphadora Tonks}
Agh, that hurts… that hurts real bad. The pain on my neck, on my back, around my abdominal and worse of all, the pounding pain over my head. My eyes could barely open and when it did open slightly, the sudden burst of light had me groaning.
“Are you alright?” It was a soft voice, a woman’s voice but I didn’t know who it was.
Chapter 19: A Prisoners’ Delivery
[Late Evening — Auror Post, Brighton]
“You seem tired.”
The continuous travels, the late night events and the general lack of sleep was to blame. Magic of Protection got rid of the tiredness that I felt mentally but the body still needed rest.
“I mean I could have gone alone if you wanted some rest.”
“The fresh air is more relaxing than sleeping at this point.” I ...
Chapter 18: The Big Bad Wolf
[Dawn of Monday — Somewhere in Ayrshire Hills]
They say this place is haunted. Spirits roam the castle that I just crossed, wails are heard during the middle of the night.
Makes sense considering what I was here for.
It was barely dawn, light had not even fully seeped in. The cold was pretty unbearable for me and the vision around the place was horrible.
Nothing was visible fo...
Chapter 17: After Dinner Tea**
{Aurora Sinistra}
“I said this was a stupid and dangerous proposal.”
She was angry.
“But who listens to me?”
Oh, she was furious.
“How bad is he hurt?” Dumbledore asked.
“Horribly.” Pomfrey said, “But he will live. Lately that's all everyone has been doing, living horribly.”
“I mean…” Oh, I hope he doesn't say something stup...
Chapter 16: And the Victor is—
[Day of the Duel — Training Grounds, Hogwarts]
{Lucius Abraxas Malfoy}
“He will do just fine.” The man had features non-native to the lands. “He has a few tricks up his sleeves.”
“I hope so, professor.”
He said he was from the Middle East, not native to Britain nor used to the culture. But he seemed to have adjusted faster than any other.
Though how ...
Chapter 15: A Father’s Worry
{Harry James Potter}
“Professor, do you think I can win?”
She took no part in duels, or so she said. But she did, she came to me right after I went to professor Dumbledore.
Sadly, he said he couldn't help me and said he would find someone for me to learn from. Professor Flitwick said that he would only teach the basics of duels and its etiquettes, beyond that would be unfair.
So...
Chapter 14: Duel!!!
[Evening of Friday — Hallway of Hogwarts]
“You sure are busy.”
I was, from head to toe.
“Not enough to not give you a reply.” I turned as I knew exactly who it was. “Professor Sinistra.”
“I better get a good dinner for what I did.” She had her seductive smile stuck to her face. “It’s not for free that I went against my previous decision.”
Sinistra was a genuinely interest...
