Chapter 18.2- The Seadragon's Roar

“You called this meeting, Otto?” The king asked. He was the last to enter a swap his prerogative as monarch. Runciter did not make any special note of it. What he did note though was that both Lords Beesbury and Strong had come in together. Considering how their quarters were stationed, then the most probable cause was that they had been together when the meeting was called and notice was given. He considered looking for one of the runners to ask more directly, but he did not pa...

Chapter. 52.3- Doom Days

Both of those were notable limitations but it wasn’t like I could just overwhelm a man who had the ability to mess up my aim at any time or force me to become unable to shield his spells. The only saving graces were that beyond the ability to seemingly puppet my wand arm whenever he wanted and however he wanted to control it, he was a bang average duelist. Okay, that was disingenuous and unfair. He was a great duelist for his age, but as far as I was concerned, he was nothing special. I had...

Chapter 71.3- One Thousand Hands

“Iwa? Is Konoha not the enemy here? Was it not Konoha who killed the Second Raikage and stole his body, denying us a proper burial? Was it not Konoha who stole the eight tails from us? What is our business with Iwa when the true target sits there unmolested?” He instantly opposed the idea. Even if Killua had been somehow able to sway the Raikage to this foolish line of thinking, he was confident that logic would prevail. Most looked at the Raikage’s form and assumed him a brute with lit...

He entered the war tent and found it almost bursting at the seams. Everyone had been called in, it seemed. He was one of the last fro what he could tell looking about the room he moved to take the seat at his Kage’s right hand side. Killua gave him a smirk as he sat next to him while Yui opposite him seemed to not even have noticed that he was here.

“Silence” The Raikage commanded, and the whole room snapped to attention. Well, the whole room except for those two idiots...

Chapter 52.2- Doom Days

How the hell was he just controlling my body without even hitting me with a spell or anything like that. I took a step forward and he matched me. This time I sent two spells in his direction, each one a blast of silver that marked them as gouging curses. They were a step up from piecing curses. Each one would take a mighty chunk out of him once they hit. So they didn’t. He weaved between both spells moving like he was walking on air before his wand moved again.

This time, it was a ...

XXXXX- THE GRANDMAESTER

Another emergency meeting of the Small Council would probably be called in light of this revelation, he thought to himself with a sigh. Sometimes he regretted accepting his Uncle Allar’s invitation to the capital. Being in the Capital when the former Grandmaster died, adding his blood relation to the man and the pedigree of his original family before he had forsworn them to forge his chains with the Citadel had probably combined to make him the best choice for ...

“Form up” He roared at the top of his voice. To their credit, the maggots were at attention in a matter of seconds. Good. Almost good enough. He looked at them. There were close to forty of them arranged in a straight line in front of spaced out targets. Another month, another set of maggots to take through the basics. He almost wondered what the Raikage had done to convince the Lightning Lord to give them such free rein to recruit, but it was not his place to question. ...

Chapter 52.1- Doom Days

I held my wand in a loose grip even as I rocked on the balls of my feet. There were dozens of duelling platforms all around me. I was standing on platform seven— an auspicious sign if I was one to believe in such things as I waited for my next opponent. My first duel had passed without incident, the boy who faced me having been nothing special. His attempts to use transfiguration against me would have been cute if they had not been so disgraceful. To watch a wizard on the cusp of maturity s...

Chapter 70- One Thousand Hands

“Do we have the votes?” I asked Uraume the question the first thing in the morning. Uzume was scheduled to arrive in a matter of minutes, and while she had delivered me my first political victory in these chambers, Danzo was not Hiruzen. Hiruzen was almost universally beloved by the clans. He was my granduncle’s chosen, and that meant something. We had tossed some mud on his robes with the Danzo scandal, but the monkey was nothing if not a political animal. I had expected him to defend ...

Chapter 51- Doom Days (Welcome to Broekzele)

The World Cup was nothing compared to this, I thought to myself as Sirius and I were quickly ushered off the landing platform our Portkey had deposited us on. Literally seconds after we landed, another group landed on the platform. They were similarly ushered off, smiling all the while as they chattered excitedly, before another group took their place. It wasn’t just the arrival platforms that were bustling. The government of the magical Netherlands had set aside an entire magical city with...

Chapter 17- The Seadragon's Roar (Burning Grass)

Seaspeaker did not want to be found, and it seemed we could not force the issue. Even with all the planning and plotting I did, all the strategies I forced Daemon to implement, we could not find hide nor hair of him on the island. The archer that tried to kill me had given us a location in the forest, confirming an early theory that they were hidden within it, but the camp had been long abandoned by the time we got there. Searching the forest for him didn’t work either. All my would-be assa...

“Useless. Absolutely bloody useless. How do we lose near five hundred men taking down a few fucking pirates?” Daemon Targaryen’s rage was a terrible thing. He tossed things this way and that, he roared like the dragon he rode, and he looked like if he could spit fire he would.

“They planned it well. Led us into a false sense of security with the previous caves. Just a straight line of killing down to the end. We bled for every cave we took, but the bleeding was noth...

Chapter 17.5- The Seadragon's Roar

This was the fourth such cave they were clearing in half as many weeks. The pace of the progress irritated him more than anything else. Every cave taking made them bleed for the effort. Every ground of space they took from the pirates, they bled for. These men did not run at their superior training, arms, or supplies. Instead, they seem to revel in the disparity. Trying their best to equalize the differences.

Borros was not blind either, he could see just how they were doing it. The pi...

Chaptr 51.6- Doom Days

“Back to the rules before I interrupt my riveting speech again for something as boring as a duel between some of the best to ever do it” He said, keeping his face straight as half the stadium began to laugh again.

“As for the magicks allowed, we will be following the ICW standard for duelling competitions, and so any spell that would cause damage rated as A or higher on the Manton’s scale will be disallowed and punished.” I refreshed my memory on the specifics. Less than an A...

Chapter 51.5- Doom Days

She twirled in space and then sent a spell at a seemingly random position. of course I knew that if she had made it this far in her duelling career then years out of practice or not, there would be nothing random about that position. her opponent must have thought the same as well as he began working even harder to end the fight. Bhattacharya was a powerful wizard— there could be no doubt about it. Th way he chained spells that should have drained a lesser man with little to no hesitation s...

“Hiruzen Sarutobi” I said the name and watched her expression. It did not shift, change or crack. Almost like she truly didn’t care who the target was.

“Saru, huh?” She said, now there was a smile slowly building on her face. As if it had taken her seconds to hear what I said… or as if it had taken her seconds to figure ut what I meant.

“So you want to be Hokage, boy?”

“What did I say about calling me your boy?”

“No idea. Can’t remember” S...

“You’re insane” I said once it was clear that she was no longer in danger of keeling over and dying in a second or two, and that was the truth. Either that or she was just not as well informed as he thought as he was. Madara Uchiha. What I knew of him from canon was enough to make me feel a just trepidation at every mention of his name. What living in this world told me and the context it provided as to just what sort of man he had been in his youth— well, let’s just say Hashirama ...

Chapter 51.4- Doom Days

“So tomorrow will have the first stage of the qualification rounds and over morrow will have the second stage. Two days from now, we will proceed with the Round of 64. Now I can already see some of you making plans to skip or wondering what to do with that time. I enjoin you all to come watch as many of the duels as possible. You need to know how the contestants are doing to make good bets, don’t you?” He said before spewing the fakest laugh I ever had the misfortune of hearing.

The welcoming ceremony was unlike anything I had seen before. In bothy lives. Firstly, there was the dragon made of fireworks that flew about the stadium, making complex dives, twirls, banks, and ascents every which way in a pattern that was as mesmerizing as it was impressive. And then every few seconds or so, it would stop and breathe out a torrent of fireworks that exploded into all sorts of magical creatures that lasated a few seconds before dissipating. And that was only the...

“Dawn tomorrow. The ships will remain here and Vaemond will depart on the Seahorse to bring the next set of ships here as well as the men to sail them. Once we have those reinforcements we can look into Torturer’s Deep.” She said. She had amended the plan to say we would wait for reinforcements before attempting any conquering of our own. She was probably not too keen on repeating he mistakes the had led to her Husband’s death.

The only issue with that was that the reinforcement...

Chapter 17.3- The Seadragon's Roar

In the end, the decision to burn the forest was made. Was it the right thing to do, or was it just the easy thing? That was the thought was on my mind as I flew Igneel above one end of the forest. Both Vhagar and Meleys were larger by Igneel by some margin so they could produce more fire. I was sure we burned hotter than they did, but the goal here did not require that heat.

Mother was in position, I could tell. So was Laena. When Mother blew her horn, I moved in almost instantly. Igne...

“No. No killing him. Hiruzen will live to see me build the village into something he never could.”

“Then I’ve got bad news for you, Shori, if you want the job you’ve got to find a way to get rid of the guy before you. Is he going to abdicate? Is that the plan?”

“No. We can’t even give him the chance to abdicate. He’d name anyone but me for a successor and I won’t stand for that” I said.

“Okay, so what’s your plan.”

“If the Clan Council...

“So you want me to try to take advantage of the fact that she might have been sweet on my Granduncle to get her to examine her sitting Kage and release that report for me?” I asked.

“Precisely. You’ve got the plan more or less figured out then” She said. I narrowed my eyes even as the door swung open, admitting Uzume.

“Should I be worried?” She asked.

“About?” Had she heard Uraume’s and I’s discussion from the hallway.

“My niece. Why are she...

Chapter 70.2- One Thousand Hands

“Okay then. Who do you think would vote against us?” I tried.

“Definitely the Sarutobi and Shimura Clans for one. The Onikuma clan have some old business with Hiruzen. I couldn’t get the specifics, but they owe him. The Aburame are wildcards like ever— seconding Danzo only to end up voting for you in the first vote just goes to show that it’s impossible to tell what happens in their heads. The Inuzuka don’t blame you for Kuro, but they also don’t have much good to say a...

I reached into my other pocket and tossed him a single Galleon. “Word of advice kid, don’t place your fingers into pockets that look as nice as mine. These are enchanted to catch you out. Wizards dressed more poorly are more likely to have failing, fading, or non-existent anti-theft enchantments”, I said, disabling the trap and allowing him to leave unmolested. He did not, instead staring at me, and then at the galleon, head snapping between both over and over again. I just chuckled bef...

Chapter 17.2- The Seadragon's Roar

“You heard me, Ser”. She said with arched brow. Laena was far from pleased with how Vaemon had conducted himself just as our father had been about to die. There was a time and place for prosecuting naked ambition, and in her view, the deathbed of a man was no one of them. I felt it was naive thinking in a way. There was no better place for baring naked ambition than at a man’s deathbed. Make your fina request and be either accepted or rebuffed. It just so happens that his final request ...

Chapter 50- Doom Days (Grunt work)

Dumbledore was a fool, I thought as I stared at the newspaper. It was happening even in this world. There was no dead Cedric, just a heavily injured Krum who had returned home the second he was declared stable enough to travel. So there wasn’t as much reason to look into the aftermath of the Triwizard Tournament as there must have been in canon. Still, the old man had stood in front of the Wizengamot in full session and declared Voldemort’s return to the wizarding world. Maybe it was the ...
