I nodded and began to make my way to my room once we separated, only to notice that I had more than one shadow this time. “Laena, pardon me if I’ve gotten it wrong, but should you not have turned towards your rooms at the previous hallway?” I asked. I had taken a room some distance from both my Mother and Sister not out of any desire to be distant, but more because of how close it was to everything else. It was also easier to start exploring from smack dab in the middle of things than a...

XXXXXX- CEE
His Kage was not winning, he thought to himself as he practically flew across the village. He had just been barely able to hide when Shorirama Senju had intervened in the fight with Kinkaku and Ginkaku. He had felt it keenly when the two of them had been ripped apart. He thought the Raikage in rage would be the scariest chakra he ever had the displeasure of sensing. The beast inside the Senju had him beaten and quite handily at that. Whatever part of the nineties had remaine...

He cauterized his would staring right into my eyes as he did so. As the smell of burning flesh spread across our very man-made battleground. I tried not to give in to despair, but that was proving far from easy. I’d burst too fast, used my trump card before it was ready. I should have forced him down to one finger before redirecting the attack. Now he knew what I was planning, I doubted he was going to whip it out again.

“Is that so?” I drawled in my best impression of a certain Potion Master. Speaking of him, it was still surprising that Dumbledore hadn’t gotten him back to Hogwarts yet. He’d gotten off the Obstruction of Justice charges very easily. Under veritaserum he had testified that when I had knocked him into the wall with my disarming charm he had suffered a concussion and so hadn’t been thinking clearly when he made his decisions.
“Quite so. I tried to get a conversation with you ...

“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...

“We must fly out to meet the fleets by dawn on the morrow” Rhaenys started the meeting with. 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 future if those allegiances managed to slip in the wrong direction again.

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 got moved to try somethi...

He hadn’t even been dead for a few hours, and he looked so different already. I knew it wasn’t anything physical. It was just like I had seen with Corlys. His animated expressions, his life, wasn't there, and it made all the difference. Daemon Targaryen, the Rogue Prince, was dead. And it had happened at the hands of a bastard from the Iron Islands of all people, with poison of all tools. The question then became, what would we do now? We had to tell Viserys. We had to.

The explosion of the Fire Release: Rasengan bloomed in the distance, expanding in a field of red that had the hair on my arms standing on end.
“Do you think that was enough?” Uzume asked. I scoffed. There was no chance it was.
“No chance,” I answered.
“I did put a lot into that,” she said, defending herself. I nodded, but I knew the truth. If he fought a tailed beast and came out unscathed, then there was going to be very little we could do to deal with him. Stil...

If I succeeded in getting under his skin with that one, it was difficult to tell rom his face. But then I did notice the number of outstretched fingers drop from four to three, and then I was leaning backwards, barely avoiding losing my head with that one. Uzume was on the counter almost instantly. Several fireballs peppered his form and he turned instead, aiming for her next. She stood her ground. He hadn’t figured out stasis yet, clearly. There was nothing to be gained from fighting Uzume...

Not just that, he was happy that he had been able to help me in my time of weakness. Happy that I was still here, and now happy that I was up and standing. He wanted us to go flying. We hadn’t flown for leisure in so long. He missed it.
I took a deep breath as I stumbled backwards. What had that been? Igneel was watching me with his head tilted to one side. Had those been Igneel’s thoughts? They were clear. Very clear. That wasn’t normal, was it? Not for us. I usually hd to conce...

The arrow hit, and I felt my breath escape my lips in a sigh as just like everything else, it broke against his armour, not managing to make it through. Irritated, I expanded and exploded the rasengan right between us, teleporting behind him. His arm was there to block my raised kick, but that left his midsection open for Uzume to slam a rasengan into. It ground against his shield to no effect. I inhaled, exhaling a storm of flames that covered him but did little to stop him from coming at me...

We reached the boat in a matter of minutes and then I knelt to examine it. It was made by hand, that was clear enough. My experience making one allowed me to see that much. It was more a raft than a boat, if I was being honest with myself. But how had Pate built this under everyone’s nose? I wouldn’t accuse us of being the most attentive of people, especially when it came to the serving staff, but I could authoritatively say that there was no chance I had ever run into him on his way out ...

The path that was created for his jutsu- positive and negative charges blooming for a second before the world became black lightning.

He moved. Was Movement even a good word for it? One second he was somewhere, and before the next he was somewhere else. I felt Uzume’s kick against my ribs toss me to the side while he barreled into her. Of course, with stasis, she would be fine no matter how strong he had gotten. I tracked him wrestle her through three buildings in a row, sending kunai into the air and aiming for everything I could. The more advantages I had on the battlefield, the better.
