What is dead may never die (Chapter 63)

A fire in the blood

Theon POV

The city was dirtier than I thought. On the surface, it was a great city, as big as King’s Landing. Yet it didn’t have the smell of shit anywhere, or maybe my senses were dull, but the dirt on the streets didn’t bother me. What bothered me was the chains, the leases. The absence of freedom bothered me immensely. It made me sick.

Yet it reminded me of what I truly wanted: freedom. I was immersed in being a king and getting revenge on Jalabh...

Chapter 31

It has been more than a month since Kaen sealed his students. During that time, they learned not to rely on their clan gifts and strengthen their weaknesses. Of the three Kaen like Shino the most, the boy proved resourceful. It was he who managed to break the seals Kaen placed on them. Kaen didn’t expect the boy to find a way so soon without anyone’s help.

While Hinata showed some interest and talent in medicine and medical ninjutsu, Shino was thoughtful and patient...

Seeds of doubt

Edmure POV

Silence fell when the self-proclaimed Aegon left the dungeons of the Great Pyramid. I looked at Daenerys, and she looked back at me. There was nervousness in her eyes, but most of it was rage. At what or at whom, it was hard to say. Was it at herself for her powerlessness or at those around her testing her limits?

“Now I can see why you were indisposed in helping Queen Shireen,” I said. “The golden company is with him, isn’t it?”

Mother of Dragons

Daenerys POV

Seeing my children flying through the ocean made me realize they weren’t small. I heard from Arstan that Balerion was two hundred years old before he died. Balerion was so big that his shadow would engulf entire towns when he flew. My dragons were still little compared to him as they were young. Still not big enough to pluck krakens from the sea, as Arstan believed they would in due time.

As the great cog groaned as they sailed, Daenerys list...

Chapter 30

It was clear that the Hyuga clan didn’t like Kaen much. It was expected after what he had said about the clan previously. But not everyone was darting piercing eyes at him. From a few branch family members he met, Kaen would notice admiration and hope. Hiashi had a reason for his plan, after all.

It was only a matter of time before the branch family was fed up with the treatment they were receiving. One only needed to find a way to nullify the effects of the seal on t...

Crimes and judgment

Edmure POV

As soon as I was accepted into Queen Daenerys’s court and left mostly alone, I started planning. The Tattered Prince still has not arrived, which might take some time. I knew I couldn’t strike Euron alone and needed help. As much as Asha was helpful, I couldn’t truly trust her. I knew I had to move fast.

The first thing I did was ask about Queen Daenerys’s visitors. I confirmed that Euron was in the Great Pyramid, and as I expected, he ...

Lightning lord

Beric POV

I watched as a mass of smallfolk marched to the east. King Stannis had to force villages and towns to leave for the Crownlands and King’s Landing. Even if he took all their food and resources, he led them to leave uncontested. I didn’t know why he did so. He could have just left them be and moved on. It is not like we lack resources.

Was it to trick the Tyrrells and the Lannisters? Make them think that we are struggling. Or was it to get in the g...

Chapter 29

Kaen looked at his three genin. They were full of anticipation for the start of their careers. Even though he knew he shouldn’t enjoy it, he loved destroying their wills and taking the dirtiest D-rank missions. Kaen knew that to be a shinobi, physical training wasn’t enough. They needed endurance more than anything.

It wasn’t easy on the body and mind to do some missions. So firstly, Kaen needed to break their will to rebuild it back. It was quite a hot day, a per...

Hard offer to pass

Edmure POV

I sharpened my sword as we sailed to Mereen. I could see eyes covering me with interest. Only a few of Asha’s crew knew of my identity. To others, I was a guy with a face covered in bandages. Asha kept a close look at me too. As a whetstone went through the blade of my sword, I could see her flinching.

“I know what you are thinking,” I said.

“What am I thinking about?” She asked.

“You are thinking of betraying me. Joining...

The wolf pup

Arya POV

“You still are not seeing, boy,” I could only listen to my teacher as he struck my arm.

“You too fast,” I complained.

It has been over a year since my teacher, Syrio Forel, started teaching me. Yet it didn’t feel like she learned much. I could win against Bran in our secret sparring, but I could never even touch Syrio. And it didn’t even feel good to win against Bran of the late, as he spent most of his time with Robb and learning to r...

Kaen observed his team as they waited for him in the training field. To say he was displeased would be an understatement. Even though he agreed to it, he felt tricked. Kaen knew the Third Hokage was a trickster, but he didn’t expect this. Letting out a sigh, he moved from his position to the team he was assigned to.

“You late, sensei,” A boy with spiky black hair said.

“We been waiting for you, sensei,” The only girl said shyly.

Kaen narrowed his e...

The old white knight

Barristan POV

I did not like these people. Aegon Targaryen, as he called himself, was at the front. Behind him was Euron Greyjoy. From his eye, I could tell he was not someone to be trusted. That eye smiled too much like it hid many things. Then there was Jon Connington. He had not shown any respect to the Queen, only caring for the boy he brought.

They have been in court for weeks, demanding her Grace’s assistance in helping them attack the Seven King...

Countless rats

Loras POV

With each day, it was harder to stay in Red Keep. Rats scurrying around my feet made me tense. Sometimes I wanted to stab them all to death as the cats of the keep let them go free. I couldn’t move around the keep or the city without them keeping watch on me. It wasn’t enjoyable when they watched me train, not letting me concentrate.

My patience was pushed every day. I knew they knew that I know they were watching me, yet there was nothing I coul...

The air was heavy, and just like Naruto, every other classmate was hopeful and anticipating the result of their training. Only one final part of the exam was left, performing one of the academy jutsu. Naruto’s hands trembled with excitement and worry. Even if he knew he wasn’t the smartest, he worked his ass off to learn mathematics and history to pass the test.

“For the last test, please perform clone jutsu,” Iruka-sensei announced to Naruto’s dread. “Pleas...

Truth

Edmure POV

The ships pierced through the small fleet from Yunkai. Before they could realize what was happening, half of the ships were already on fire. The rest quickly sailed away in fear. I clenched my sword’s hilt. The left part of the face and eye started burning in pain. These bastards were waiting to attack Yunkai ships.

There was no way it was coincidental that they started attacking just after I defeated the ground forces. It was clear that they waited for an...

Bluff

Davos POV

We were surrounded; about fifty thousand came from the Westerlands led by ser Garlan Tyrell and another fifty thousand from the Crownlands. When we heard of them coming, we had no choice but to do something. We had about seventy thousand men from the Vale, the Stormlands, and the Riverlands, yet the lords of different lands didn’t get along much.

Biggering and shouting ensued as the war council commenced. King Stannis was silent for the most part and let hi...

Kaen was now a jonin, an elite shinobi, yet he was bored. There weren’t any missions for him for months. He played with Ash while reading books about seals while enjoying the warm sun outside his house. In the end, Kaen gave up on learning anything new and let Ash grab his hand and bite his thumb while he used his other fingers to scratch Ash’s neck.

He had too much time to do nothing. There were no S-rank missions, A-rank missions were already taken, and the B-rank...

Negotiations

Edmure POV

The night began to fall when we had patched our injuries and rested enough. I have sent scouts to watch the Yunkai host and what they are doing and put men in the perimeter to watch out for search parties. I did not doubt that the Yunkai would want to take revenge upon us, even if that was the last thing they did.

We were lucky to find a hill to stay close to. It overlooked the lands nearby, so I was confident that no host would be able to sneak at us...

The end of preparations

Theon POV

I pretended to sleep with Arianne resting next to me. While I lay on the bed with closed eyes, Rocky moved into the palace. Warging into Rocky, I moved unnoticed. I was climbing the walls, getting into rooms of lords and ladies. The night of the banquet wasn’t as silent as one may think. Plotting and scheming were everywhere.

The news of my wanting to marry the princess of Dorne shook the lords. They couldn’t predict it, nor did they lik...

Sasuke had trouble moving as arrows flew at him. They hit him with their blunt arrowheads, knocking him back. It was getting harder and harder for him to stand up. The seals put on his body made him feel heavy. The traps in the field made Sasuke hesitant to move fast, as he had to be careful not to step on them.

Kaen didn’t make it easy to dodge his arrows. Sasuke had to twist his body to avoid the arrows. He tried to move as little as possible. After a few hours of b...

Edmure POV

Arrows flew, hitting my shield, few men near me fell to the ground with arrows impaled in their throats and chest. A battering ram was trying to get close to the main gates even after getting hit by the bolts from scorpions. With my order, a valley of arrows finished the rest of the men protecting the battering ram.

As the sun set and the light was gone, the men from both sides retreated. I ordered the men to collect the dead and the weapons and arrows...

Banquet

Theon POV

Word has reached that the Lannisters and the Tyrells have sent more than fifty thousand men to the Riverlands. Oberyn had told me that and asked to meet with Doran in his solar. I wasn’t busy, as I had left others to make sure to sell our treasure. I wanted to empty my ships of unnecessary things before going for Essos.

Even without Doran’s wish to find Daenerys Targaryen, I would still go to Astapor. I wanted unsullied. A few thousand of them could bri...

The assassins that Kaen believed pretended to be the farmers were long gone. The little traces they might have left were gone. It was near impossible to track them. At least it would be if he didn’t have sharingan. With the knowledge that they might be assassins, Kaen concluded that their target might be Daimyo or one of the Land of the Fire leaders.

The capital was far for ordinary people but only a three days run for a shinobi. But a shinobi from a foreign land woul...

Preparations for a war

Tyrion POV

It was clear that we were made out to be fooled. The Westerlands were all but lost. We have no way to recover it, at least for now. The small council was in disarray. I could feel their confusion, desperation, and fear. The lords and knights of the Westerlands that came with my father are now begging to return home to reclaim what was lost.

Still, Casterly Rock and Lannisport are standing, even if the Tyrells pushed Stannis Baratheon back. A...

Kaen could feel eyes on him every time he returned to the village. Danzo couldn’t let him be unmonitored. At the same time, Danzo could do nothing in the village against Kaen. Kaen couldn’t do anything to him too. Outside the village, if Danzo tried something, Kaen would get rid of his men, but in the village, Danzo could watch him as he wished because if he did something, Danzo would get a justification to get rid of him.

To Kaen, it was annoying. Danzo still didn�...

Siege of Astapor

Edmure POV

It is said that war never changes. I call it bullshit. War constantly changes, from the weapons to the people using them. I fought in many battles, yet this one was different. The lands, the people, and the goals were neither mine. I looked at the little girl as she looked down on the Yunkish army.

About seven to eight thousand men. Yunkish slave soldiers only accounted for a third of the host. The rest of the men were sellsword companies and Iron...

Viper meets a Kraken

Oberyn POV

Fifty ships lay in front of us. The Ironborn, with only a name, could know what they want and what they will do. At least, that was in the past. Now, I couldn’t understand what was going on. Fifty isn’t a small number if you want to raid some villages, but this is Sunspear. Even if it’s one of the smallest cities in Westeros, what kind of madman would attack it with only fifty ships?

Doran kept a close eye on this madman, but even he cou...

The target was moving suspiciously. Kaen observed that the target was nervous about something. He didn’t know why but suspected the target would meet an important client soon. Kaen’s job was monitoring the target and reporting to the team leader. Otherwise, Kaen would have already approached his target.

Kaen’s team’s mission was to investigate the human trafficking that is suspected to be happening in this area. His target was a merchant who grew in power and we...

Unexpected encounter

Tyrion POV

Drinking and whoring were all I wanted now, yet it didn’t bring as much pleasure as I expected. Everything seemed empty. The gold poured from my purse as wine spilled from my cup, yet what did matter? Well, I didn’t have anything else to complain about. I could only enjoy the empty pleasure as nothing else was left for me.

Besides Bronn and a few other household guards, everyone else took what they could and ran away. That bastard Qyburn s...

Golden waves

Theon POV

To say that Arbor was a rich land would be an understatement. Aside from gold, there were barrels of the most expensive wine, silk, and jewelry. Our ships were overflown with loot. Men were thrilled with our victory. After drinking and celebrating all night, they didn’t even complain that I let go of people to run away.

Of course, there were some dissatisfied voices about not being able to get thralls to serve them. But I couldn’t let go portion of...
