Dragonlord Chapter 136: A dragon's wedding

“It’s happening.” Daenerys whispered, standing on the balcony, looking over at the city walls in the distance, feeling a sense of powerlessness settle in her heart.

It was as if something heavy made of iron was sitting where her heart was supposed to be. She often found herself forgetting to breathe the last few days as her brother made a decision that pushed her to the edges of despair. She was to be married four days from now, and they were supposed to sail from Pentos the very...

The Lion Cub Chapter 125: I open at the close

The dim torches adorning the walls of Nott Manor flickered like a dying ember as Voldemort strode into a dark dungeon, his presence dark and foreboding. Shadows clung to the walls, twisting in unnatural shapes as if recoiling from the very aura of the Dark Lord. A lone figure stood in the centre of the room, surrounded by dust and the remnants of forgotten luxury.

It was none other than Ollivander, the master wandmaker of magical Britain.

Ollivander’s silver hair shimmered faint...

Dragonlord Chapter 135: To win at all costs

Triston Sunderland glared at his servants, scurrying away from him like rodents as if seeing a big cat. The last few weeks have been nothing but hectic for him. There was only chaos and utter craziness around him, some of which was his own making.

When he had agreed to host Myrish pirates, it was on the understanding that he would secure some easy coin from his guests, support from House Arryn, and have the opportunity to swindle the unsuspecting Northerners. What he didn’t expect to ...

The Lion Cub Chapter 124: The funeral P2

Despite McGonagall’s plan to conduct the funeral faster so that the students could be brought home as soon as possible, it was not fast enough for some parents. Harry, being a prefect, had a front-row seat when parents came marching into Hogwarts to collect their children from the castle. He had escorted a fair share of Gryffindors from the castle.

Some of the brave lions strenuously objected to being taken away. Such students thought they would be perceived as cowards, but Harry smot...

Dragonlord Chapter 134: The Brave Companions

Harry read through the report in his hand from the Sea Dragon’s Academy of Magic. The number of students recruited into the academy for its first year was modest, but it was expected to be this way. The first batch of the academy only consisted of fourteen students. It was a smaller number than he expected, but it was manageable. He had yet to attract a substantial number of learned men into the academy.

Since he was not keen on ceding any academic ground to the Maesters in his lands,...

The Lion Cub Chapter 123: The funeral P1

Severus took measured steps as he closed in on the infirmary with a basket full of ingredients in his hand. Each step he took became difficult as he felt like he was being weighed down by tons of iron on his legs and shoulders. The weight of the act he was about to commit was not lost on him. His hands shook uncharacteristically as he turned a corner, and his eyes fell on the doors to the infirmary.

‘Ten more steps, and I’ll be a murderer once more.’ Severus thought.

He reme...

Dragonlord Chapter 133: Enemies across the seas

Gwap felt like his limbs were weighed down by iron. For a brief moment, he wondered whether the knights on the mainland felt like him when they went to battle or were in a joust wearing their colossal steel plate armour.

Then, he snorted at the silliness of the comparison.

‘A fisherman comparing himself to a knight. A knight might die of shame.’ Gwap thought with a grin.

He pulled as hard as he could at the net and managed to drag the last few portions of the net into hi...

The Lion Cub Chapter 122: The fall of Dumbledore P2

Harry stared at the back of Dumbledore’s head as he muttered and hummed while talking to himself about the wards bound to the crystal basin protecting the Horcrux inside. He didn’t disturb the man while Dumbledore tried to discern the nature of the wards and barriers. Instead, his eyes were peeled open, and he observed the lake, which was made of a potion surrounding them from all sides. The unnatural stillness of the lake gave him an eerie feeling, and he felt like a hundred eyes were st...

Dragonlord Chapter 132: The conflicts of godly men

Bip sharpened the edge of his axe with a whetstone while keeping an eye on the slumbering streets of Fleabottom. The streets were unlike the shit-stained, smelly streets he remembered. Green shrubs lined the sides of the streets with colourful flowers in between. The lords and knights no longer threw their shit in the streets of Fleabottom. The drainpipes were no longer broken; instead, the drains led straight to the sea.

There was now even a popular saying among the Fleabottom folks; U...

Sorcerer of heaven Chapter 8: Gathering intel

“Well, this changes a lot of things, but…” Captain Kyoraku trailed off with a sigh after watching the video recordings of the Ryoka Harry gathered.

Captain Ukitake was also present within the quarters of Captain Kyoraku in Squad 8 barracks. Lieutenant Nanao stood beside Harry, watching the two Captains converse.

“But…?” Captain Ukitake prodded.

“You saw the Ryoka boy in action, did you not Harry-san?” Captain Kyoraku pinned him with a pair of grey eyes shinin...

The Prince of Whispers Chapter 14: Battle beneath the hills

Khal Qerrmo grinned maliciously as his bloodriders chased after the women folk fleeing the village. The Andals were weak cowards in his eyes. They never had the guts to stay and fight. Instead, they scrambled to run away at the sound of his Khalasar’s hooves. Most importantly, the few Andal warriors who had the guts to take a weapon into their hands did so by wearing steel armour like the cowards they were.

Those who had no strength to protect their women did not deserve to hold on to...

What should be the fate of Severus Snape?

Severus Snape is a complex character.

He unwittingly led to the death of countless people including the woman he loved and her husband. But he dedicated his life to bring down Voldemort.

On the other hand, he abused a lot of children in his time as a professor at Hogwarts. He also tried to have Sirius Black killed even after knowing the survival of Peter Pettigrew. So, he is not one to let go of old grudges. He has also used his position of power to bully Harry Potter as a twist...

The Lion Cub Chapter 121: The fall of Dumbledore P1

“It’s time Severus. You must ready yourself and complete the mission assigned by Tom this week.” said Dumbledore, eyeing his trusted companion with a look of pity. 

He knew it was a terrible thing he was asking, but there was simply no other way.

“There is still time for us to do something else. Together, we can surprise the Dark Lord and destroy his body. He will be weakened in his spirit form. We will have enough time to find all his anchors and destroy them for goo...

Dragonlord Chapter 131: War drums

Varys walked through the dark tunnels of Maegor’s holdfast with ease as he knew the secret tunnels beneath this part of the Red Keep like the back of his hand.

He found it amusing that right now, above his head, Stannis Baratheon had placed much of the ladies in the court in Maegor’s holdfast. There were no nefarious intentions in the Baratheon king’s actions in the beginning, but now the situation was no longer the same.

It was glaringly obvious what the man was doing after...

Sorcerer of Heaven Chapter 7: Ryoka invasion P1

Harry ran through the empty street of the human settlement, keeping his senses alert. An incessant cackling followed him, but he didn’t turn around to look behind. He knew a Hollow was after him.

He ran faster, making the Hollow follow him until he was sure they were far away from any urban area. Channelling a dense amount of reiatsu to his feet, he used shunpo to disappear from the perception of the Hollow and appeared right behind with a finger aimed at its head.

Harry sighed as he enjoyed the warm waters of the hot pool relaxed his muscles after a long hour of training with Oberyn. His skin was soaked in the heat, and the oil hugging his body made it all the more relaxing. The hot dip in his pool was not only relaxing his muscles but also his poor, abused ears.

After he had forced Jon to stay back from the mission in the Bite, his wayward brother had a few choice words to say to him. After all, it was a simple miss...

The Lion Cub Chapter 120: The fall of Aragog's clan

The crowd in the stadium roared in approval as Vicky caught the quaffle just as it looked like it was going to go through one of the hoops.

“Gryffindor fans can breathe easy now that their Keeper has caught the bludger.” Luna said breezily through the magnifier.

“Not the bludger. It’s the quaffle!” McGonagall hissed from Luna’s side.

“Is it?” Luna seemed genuinely surprised.

“Yes, I’m sure, Miss Lovegood.” McGonagall said with gritted teeth.

The Prince of Whispers Chapter 13: As bright as a star

The streets were layered with flowers in the Flatlands as they rejoiced in the culling of the Dothraki horde. The celebration was such that even colourful spice powders were layering the streets, and the people were in jubilation over their victory. The Magisters, landowners, merchants and slaves all rejoiced as one as the Dothraki prisoners were marched through the streets, their arms and legs chained and no weapon or horses on their person.

Personally, Reginald felt no great sense of ...

Should the North annex the Three Sisters?

Conflicts brews in the Bite and the Narrow Sea between the North and the Vale of Arryn over the actions of the Sistermen and Myrish pirates.

Baelish has fanned the flames for a while now grom the shadows and Jon Arryn struggles to control his wayward bannermen.

The Lion Cub Chapter 119: Herpo's Dark Arts P2

“What… what did you say?” Slughorn looked pale as a ghost as he stared at the blackened remains of Ravenclaw’s diadem.

“I said this was once a Horcrux.” Harry repeated slowly, closely watching the understanding dawn on Slughorn’s face.

“You know, I had wondered how Voldemort survived the Killing Curse that night. I theorised the Dark Lord had taken precautions to guard his mortality. After all, I had seen him in his spirit form in my first year at Hogwarts.”

Dragonlord Chapter 129: Dornish passion P2

Nymeria’s eyes shined with unbridled curiosity as Harry led her down a secret stairwell attached to Harry’s chambers. The spiralling stairwell was lit up with little spots of dull yellow lights. She was sure it was the work of Harrion’s magic as there were no flames in sight. She had seen similar lighting in the great hall of Avalon, where the ceiling hosted thousands of specks of light to represent the stars visible in the night sky. The only difference she could see was that these lig...
