Chapter 262: Manners
9th February 2013, Diagon Alley
(Jasmine Sayre POV)
I took another look at my sister and almost winced, “We’ll start tomorrow, but as for now, you will go take a night’s rest while I try to figure out when the next meeting of the Court of Shadows will take place. And eat properly, I don’t like how thin you’re getting.”
Rose nodded with a slight smile on her face and teleported away, probably to wherever she was staying ...

Chapter 261: Roses and Violets
9th February 2013, Sayre Manor
(Jasmine Sayre POV)
I ended up sending Rose to deal with the court months ago, as a small test. I will admit that the situation was very complicated and required a delicate touch, but it didn’t seem to be working at all, considering that I lost contact in the American branch of the court for some reason.
In contrast, Wanda and Jean were doing very well under Emma Frost’s leadership in Ge...

The witch gave him a disappointed look, “You should not want to. Power comes at a price, and even should you sacrifice your sight as he did, he was forged in the flames of betrayal and death. He was broken, alone, just as I was. It was why we got along so well, in the first place. His power was impressive, and it far surpassed mine at the time, but he wasn’t happy, n...

A lone tear came down from the Morrigan’s eyes, and she continued, “He was my friend, the first one I made after I lost everything, and it broke my heart to know that he was going to kill himself soon, and that there was nothing I could do about it. In many ways, he inspired me. We had both lost our homes, but even after all the agony and betrayal he had suffered, he didn’t give ...

17th October 2012, Scotland, Earth
(Thor Odinson POV)
Before he could air his grievances, he looked behind him and saw what the Morrigan was staring at. It was what appeared to be a large rectangular rock, with an even larger stone pole coming out of it. It felt familiar for some reason, like an echo, or a voice of someone who spoke to him in his childhood. It resonated to his soul like no other. In his hand, his hammer started vibrating...

Thor sighed, exasperated, “This is horrible…”
The Morrigan shook her head, “No, Odinson, your ancestor’s bargain was struck and why should anyone care? Your souls might reincarnate, but you are still different people, with different lives, ambitions and so on. And you don’t really reincarnate in the same post, but your names tend to be engraved in your souls...

Thor nodded and walked towards the Bifrost, “I trust you.”
And he meant it. He trusted Heimdall with his life and if the man thought that he needed to speak with the Morrigan, then he will trust hi...

Thor Odinson was bemused. In the last few years, which were barely more than a fraction of his lifetime, he had learnt more about being aa king than he did in the thousand years that preceded them. The god of thunder had always assumed that being King would have brought him nothing but glory and riches. He wanted to be like his father, to live up to the songs of glorious battle against wort...

They would undoubtedly go after her, and Hermione didn’t know how that would end up. The court was powerful and influential, but Jasmine Potter was just on another level, and she seems pretty peaceful, doing her own thing, whatever the hell that was. Having the Court going after her would cause wars, and nothing but chaos, something that Hermione often tried to avoid as it ...

Previously, the young witch was barely processing the impact of the woman’s return, and she didn’...

Hermione was interrupted by a cough behind her and she jumped in fear. In front of her was the demon that she saw fighting in the memories of her subordinate. In a small way, she had hoped that she was mistaken, that Jasmine Potter had died and that this was not an imposter.
But now, she knew that this was a vain hope. She couldn’t mistake the sheer presence ...

It was so emotional, so illogical, and in its core, it was so lonely. ...
