Chapter 63.6- Doom Days

“Okay, so I get how you made then philosopher’s stone, but what does that have to do with me? Or even Russo?”

“We intend to make another here” Nicholas said, and I froze, becoming ramrod straight. My wand fell into my fingers. They had killed thousands of muggles for the first one. While I didn’t judge because they were muggles and had it coming for what they’d done, this was different. This was magical blood he intended to spill. Could I outduel Nicholas Flamel? Maybe. Ma...

XXXXX- TOSHIRO

He sensed the build up of Shori’s chakra before the jutsu was fired, and that might have been the only thing that save his life. From being teammates with the Senju scion from a young age, he knew there was one language Shorirama Senju spoke better than any other.. it was violence and escalation. So when he felt the build up and calculated that they would be in the path of whatever he was going to unleash, Toshiro pushed back against Hayate of the Six Swords, forcing hi...

Chapter 82.5- One Thousand Hands

I went for his head. Seeking to scramble’s brains and end the fight there. He twisted his head to the side, leg racing to catch me in the chest. I backpedalled, giving space to allow myself come at him again. When his foot hit the ground, however, the ground beneath him exploded, two creatures made of black lightning shooting at me. Staring at the chakra that made them up, I knew I would not be able to react in time to get a jutsu of my own off. I crossed my arms in front of myself and felt...

Chapter 29.5- The Seadragon's Roar

“Brother” he turned to the side, watching his younger brother walk up to him.

“They are acquitting themselves adequately at the very least” He spoke of the battle at the front of the fleet. The fleet’s tip was in battle with what was obviously a fringe element of the wider Velaryon fleet, and they were struggling to win. That was harsh, he admonished himself. It was not so much as they were struggling to win in that the Velaryon sailors were well acquainted with the concept of...

Chapter 63.5- Doom Days

“I thought we could ignore them. They would learn better with time. It was a mistake. Knowing what I know now, we should have run. Left in the dead of the night. Not left a single trace of ourselves for those creatures— for they lowered themselves beneath beasts in the end.” He took another long breath. Like he was preparing himself for what came next.

“And then one day while I was out gathering ingredients for Perenelle, they struck. Wards were far from advanced at the time, a...

Chapter 82.4- One Thousand Hands

My new transformation had not come without cost, I realised. My chakra, normally light and free flowing like water, felt like mud as it moved through my coils. It was dense. So dense that it was a struggle to move it anywhere it did not naturally want to go. Ninjutsu was basically a non-starter in this case. Okay, not ninjutsu as a whole, but anything that required precise control. I’d probably manage a fireball three times hotter and bigger than normal, but I’d struggle to even cast the ...

Chapter 29.4- The Seadragon's Roar

Like an arrow, we sailed through the air. Igneel folded in his wings, not spreading them as we flew downwards. So that meant thanks to gravity we were flying down even faster than we had been flying into the air. Was it even flying at this point. I closed my eyes as I felt the wind sting against them, folding my body down and bracing myself for impact. Through Igneel’s sharp eyes, I could see as the realization reached those aboard the ship that they were the ones we were coming for.

Chapter 63.4- Doom Days

“Well, be that as it may, back to the story then” he said, before pausing.

“And where were we again?”

“You had just gotten married” I said.

“Oh yes. Perenelle and I lived many years married and I won’t say those days were perfect, but they were simple, and they were happy. We had gold aplenty to keep ourselves from penury, and on the side Perenelle ran a potions shop were she sold tinctures and remedies to people from all over the city. I, on the other han...

Chapter 82.3- One Thousand Hands

I began to release natural energy from the seal, but this time instead of natural energy on one side, my chakra on the other, and Kurama’s coming over everything later on, I put my chakra on one side, and then Kurama’s on the same side, merging our chakras best as I could— which was not very good— but Kurama himself could do it as easy as breath. And then the nature energy was on the other side. The combination created a stronger form of sage mode, the potent natural energy (and ther...

Chapter 29.3- The Seadragon's Roar

In the air again, we were kings. No, riding a dragon meant we were kings no matter where it was we were— the ground, the sea, the fucking skies. We were kings of it all, unbeatable, unquestionable. Vhagar showed it as she dove down again. Two massive gouts of flames burned a line into the water, basically splitting the ships in two. The Velaryon ships had begun boarding the Triarchy ships on the other side and collecting surrenders. It was near impossible to make out individuals from this f...

Chapter 63.3- Doom Days

“Like I said, we were born in Pompei as…” He was about to say, and then his wife placed a hand on his shoulder.

“Names have power” She reminded.

“Indeed. You may know us as you know us now. Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel. It’s the names we’ve used for centuries now, so I guess they are as true as any other. We were born there, and we grew up within two powerful noble families. Perenelle’s family had had magic for generations, while I was what you might refer to ...

Chapter 29.2- The Seadragon's Roar

They panicked. Someone must have even bricked their pants with how suddenly they turned to the air only to find a mountain of a dragon falling down upon them. We didn’t give them the time to turn their scorpions about. “Dracarys” I roared in unison with Igneel and his flames roared next, covering a large swathe of the air with flames, setting two or three boats on fire before we dove upwards again, abandoning the straffing run.

Vhagar’s attack came after ours but she was worlds ...

Chapter 63.2- Doom Days

“Okay, you can talk now” I said, leaning back into my seat and waving my hand through the air in as casual a way as I could manage even as I could feel the weight that constricted around my magic. It felt like it was not going to do anything, but it was there. Present, waiting, watching, judging. I thought about telling Sirius what they were going to say, and I felt it press down on me. Not painfully, but just subtly so as to remind me of its presence. That was good at least. It meant the...

Chapter 82.2- One Thousand Hands

He reached for my hands, grabbing a hold of both my wrists as he began to forcibly wrench them apart. We struggled against each other for— I don’t even know how long. Me on top of him, him beneath, snarling at what he must have viewed as the injustice of it all. We kept struggling and then there was a flicker of movement. I closed my eyes for a second in the struggle, and I felt him move ut hit was too late tl do anything about it. I felt my skull crack, my brain tossed about like clothes...

Chapter 82.1- One Thousand Hands

Changing plans to seal him meant we had to weaken him as much as possible. Part of me wished I hadn’t agreed to Grandmother’s terms of not bringing the Uzumaki to war. If we had fie or six sealing masters on hand, this would be much easier. Of course, there was a chance that I’d manage to het all six of them killed and in that case, I’d have lost six people who could have otherwise been able to save thousands of lives in the long term with their seals and inventions. Uzume moved to th...

Chapter 29.1- The Seadragon's Roar

House Velaryon had the best sailors in the world. This was a piece of information that I had grown up taking for granted, but now I could see it clear as day. The disparity in the way they efficiently got their ships in order, completing a perfect retreat in good order that led the Triarchy’s fleet by the nose into one of the few natural choke points in the Stepstones. Two large islands so close together that there was only a narrow corridor between them. Not so narrow that ships could not ...

Chapter 63.1- Doom Days

“So Perenelle will be the binder?” I asked, leaning forward now.

“You can’t bind your own unbreakable vows by yourself? I would have expected you to have reached that level by now” He said, something lurking behind his eyes.

“That’s impossible” I rested instantly. Because it was. Magic did not like being bound, and no one wanted to die. Your note intent to not die would prevent the vow from taking hold. It was like asking someone to cast the killing curse on them...

Chapter 81- One Thousand Hands (Complete)

“Like I’d fucking let you,” I snarled, pushing myself off the ground and straight at him. I kicked the glowing green hand upwards, forcing it away from the wound. Uzume, now recovered, stomped the back of his knee with so much force that the chakra she’d used was probably visible to the naked eye. A less elegant version of my cousin’s technique, but effective enough to be useful. She forced him down on one knee while I ground a rasengan into his head.

No dice. At least the wou...

Chapter 28- The Seadragon's War (The Eve of Battle)

“We must fly out to meet the fleets by dawn on the morrow,” Rhaenys started the meeting. I nodded. Part of me was surprised that they had not managed to overrun us in the day I’d wasted being unconscious and then questioning Bernard. At least now I was somewhat sure of where his loyalties stood and that he understood that I would not be as forgiving in the future if those allegiances managed to slip in the wrong direction again.

“I agree. But the question is how. The old formati...

Chapter 62- Doom Days (Banquets)

The rest of the gala passed without incident. I watched both Okonkwo and Sirius throughout. Sirius, ever the social butterfly, seemed to enjoy how he was being ferried from table to table all through the night. Everyone seemed curious about the escaped convict, Sirius Black, who turned out to be the former but not much of the latter. I’d already counted two who had been unnaturally curious about how he’d made it out. I’d keep my eyes on them as well in case they were moved to try someth...

Vhagar remained in the air as Igneel and I shot at the ground. A few meters from it, he spread his wings as far as he could, catching the wind and slowing us almost to a crawl. Dragon flight remained one thing I just couldn’t understand. Considering his mass and considering how fast we had been going, there was just no way that spreading his wings should have done anything to meaningfully slow us down. And yet it did. We landed, light as a feather— another skill Igneel and ...

He was about to say something, but then her head snapped to the side.

“Inoken is being followed” She said.

“Iwa shinobi?” He asked instantly, hand moving to his blade. They couldn’t afford to lose another friend now. Not after Choni, Kuro, and Izuku.

“No. Suna.”

“What the hell is Suna doing here?” But did it matter. They were after their friend and they needed to move.

“Impossible to tell, but they are hunting him down. He’s fast, but t...

Chapter 62.6- Doom Days

A wand appeared in Lachonis’ hand. So quickly that I couldn’t even tell where he had drawn it from. Mine fell from holster a second letter. I didn’t expect to be attacked. Not by this couple at least. They looked old and harmless but then wasn’t that the point of looks? To deceive? He slashed it over our heads, and I felt the weight of a ward fall down upon me. It had been so quick. I’d never even read about a ward being cast so quickly.

I looked at them, wary now.

I stayed there frozen, never even getting to reply before she had rolled off the bed and practically fled the room, heading to her own. Fuck. I smashed my head back into my pillow. Fuck. I should have just kissed her last night. It took me more time than it should have to roll out of bed and begin washing.

Daily washes were a quirk of mine that was yet to catch on, but I had faith. No one was smelling or anything. With the way the weather was and with how good the perfumes were, people...

When I loosened the last one, she stepped forward, moving away from me. The brief twinge of disappointment that rose through me died a quick death as she pulled down the gown, leaving her in her underwear. Medieval underwear left a lot to the imagination, however. I absently added it to my list of things to invent. Lingerie. Laena would look heavenly in lingerie, I thought to myself.

She was putting on my tunic next. And then she was walking back over to me.

“Aren’t you goin...

Chapter 62.5- Doom Days

“Good, so I must introduce you to someone now” He said, not letting go of my hand and practically puling me across the banquet hall to the other side. It was no far from where Okonkwo was holding court with her bevy of admirers. I noticed she was showing them some plant summoning like she had used against Cece and they were enraptured. I buried my scoff but not well enough because Russo turned to me with a raised eyebrow. Then his gaze followed mine. He nodded approvingly instead of scoff...

He still remembered the pitying looks he had received when the teams had been announced. Not everyone made it obvious, of course, but even Sensei had taken him aside to offer some condolences. He hadn’t understood it then. He wasn’t the best in the class by any measure, but he had smoked the written test and passed the physical ones as well. He was just as much a shinobi as Shori and Uzume. All he had to do was work hard, and one day he would close the gap.

And nowhere was it truer than in that battle. He felt most sorry for the Iwa shinobi that had been hiding in the building before the Uchiha’s fire release jutsu turned it and a quarter mile of space around it to ash. Their fates were almost as bad as that of the civilians trapped in the building the Raikage had wrestled Shorirama Senju through. They didn’t even notice how much death and destruction they were causing in their battle, and from what Cee’s senses could tell the only one who...

Chapter 28.3- The Seadragon's Roar

I couldn’t tell for sure. I couldn’t tell anything for sure. I walked into the room after her, swinging the door shut, near wincing at the way it slammed. It felt like everything was heightened now. In this silence between us, that lasted an eternity, all the world seemed to make its presence felt. The moonlight streaking through the window was so bright I had to wonder if it had always been so or if the moon itself had abandoned cloud cover to watch this.

The sound of the key turn...

“Not in the slightest. Your performances have been outliers by all metrics. You should not have beaten Miss Kuzetsova. And definitely not so easily. You should not have beaten Mr. Serrano either. And against Mr. Volkov? You should have had no chance in hell”

“Well, I think you’re just late to the party. The whole world got used to seeing me do the impossible during the triwizard. Just accept that I am better than you thought and move on. I don’t think obsessing this strongly ...
