Chapter 16- The Seadragon's Roar (Pushing the Ship)

LATE 108 AC

The Targaryens burned their dead. It was fitting of a house with dragons on their sigil and dragons as their mounts. We, Velaryons, however, cast ours into the sea. It was not just a matter of casting the body into the sea, though; there was a process that we followed for our honored dead. It could be as simple or as complicated as you wanted it to be. Of course, the simpler you went, the graver the insult you were seen to be paying to the deceased. Someone who had died igno...

I knocked him out again as I walked back and forth. What was I going to do now? He hadn’t done it. Somehow, the bastard was innocent. That meant I’d broken into the home of a sitting clan head, assaulted him, branded him with a seal, and did it all for no good reason. There was only one way this ended, and it wasn’t going to be positive for me. I couldn’t imagine trying to talk my way out of this one. Maybe if I were officially the Hokage then I could say he was getting up to treason,...

“Thank you for asking, Sirius. So shieldbreakers, on an arithmantical level work by dismantling the protective intention integrated in shield spells. That’s why they don’t need to be so powerful that they break the shield. They simply ‘nope’ them out of existence. Thy don’t target the shields, just the intention to protect” I said leafing him to the next question with my explanation. Teaching was fun. I wondered why I didn’t go out of my way to do it more in my past life.

“I promise I’ll get you back” I said, when I finally stopped retching. A mouth refreshing charm got rid of what remained of the taste, and I only looked at the accumulated slugs for long enough to vanish them with a flick of my wand.

“All I hear is talk, more doing less talking if you want to adopt the way of the Marauder, my young apprentice” I just scowled at him.

“Now I need you to help me test something else” I said.

“Oh? Another spell? Someone’s been...

It turned out mastering the shield was just a matter of cementing my intention and adding it to every step of the drawing process. With the nature spell I’d use to trap the hellhound, it had been unconscious since I’d kept the chant in mind as I drew the runes and so I could partition my mind to both parts of the spell simultaneously. With this one, with a much shorter incantation and a complicated runic structure, I’d started off focusing on the latter first and then the f...

“We take Torturer’s Deep next” I said to the gathered crew of Captains.

“Torturer’s Deep?” Vaemond asked, and I noticed the way he captains turned to him as he spoke. Almost like they expected him to be the one with actual authority here. They had given me doubtful looks when they enterred the ship and found me sitting on he chair that was ordinarily reserved for the Captain. With the Seasnake gone, we were hosted on Vaemond’s ship.

“Precisely that. ...

Things had gone even better than I had anticipated. My story had stood up to scrutiny even better than expected. The conclusions reached were that Danzo had escaped with the Jinchuriki. He had been negligent in securing her, they had fought, and he had lost. It had been easy for me to track her down and put her down again. Except that this time it was easily decided that the tailed beast be transferred. Since this was the course of acton that almost everyone else had been pushing...

If her memories ended up being viewed by the Yamanaka, I needed to give them enough to think that everything was above board and to believe the story I wanted them to.

“What the hell are you talking about?” She asked, trying to push herself to her feet.

“I will become Hokage with your power, Jinchuriki. I will use you to—“ I never got to finish the sentence as she formed a single handsel and shot a stream of lava at my clone that I could tell blocked her vision of my ...

I completed the journey under the guise of Danzo Shimura and stopped outside the hospital, staring at the building. Azula remained there. She had seemed initially accepting of my offers but since then., I’d noticed a hesitance on her part. A hesitance that gave me a bad feeling about hr loyalties Ordinarily, I would keep her in place as a possible future resource but using her to get rid of a threat to my rule was worth it. Especially considering the plan I was coming up with.

Chapter 16.5- The Seadragon's Roar

First things first, was taking the Stepstones. We had full control over one of the islands now— Grey Gallows. The lack of communication from Daemon’s contingent told me they were yet to fully take Bloodstone as well. While I thought about Daemon, I made the choice to have a message sent informing him of Corlys’ death. If he was going to betray us, then it would be better he did it now. If he reneged from the war effort later on, then it would be harder to figure things out if he did so ...

Chapter 16.4- The Seadragon's Roar

We watched the fire spread for the rest of the night, into the early hours of the morning.Only when the ship and the bot had finished burning and whatever remained had sunk did we leave the beach and head inside our accommodations. Both Mother and Laena were staying in the old pirate King’s quarters that Corlys had commandeered while I had taken residence in one of the rooms within the longhouse. It was far from a castle which is what both the ladies would be used to, but neither of them we...

I watched it as it made the journey, nursed in the waves. I knew the force I’d put on the boat had more than died out by this point but the boat only slowed down a bit, still carried by the waves as it made the journey down to Corlys’ ship. It sailed like the seasnake sailed for most of his life. This was his final journey. His final voyage. His tenth and his last. I watched the boat as it crossed the sea to the ship even as I backed out of the sea and made my way back to land.

“Okay, okay. I’m leaving. You’re one mean kid, you know that right, Harry?” He asked even as he backed out of the room. I just watched him leave, making sure not to blink as I watched him leave. It wouldn’t be the first time that he’d pretend to leave only to sneak back in and play a prank or two. Only when I was certain he was gone did I fully relax. I turned back to the work. A shield charm was a good test of concept, I thought.

For one, it would be possible to mathematic...

When I formed the facsimile, I began to weave seals. With how old the technique was, it was no surprise it needs fifty-five whole seals. The maker had clearly relied heavily on the symbolism there— five elements, five nations. I finished that, and then felt the seal began to build within me. I took a kunai and carved the seal into the golem’s head. Golem was not the best word to use for this technique, but it was a passable one. You could also consider it a clone with a transformation te...

Chapter 50.2- Doom Days

Comments about my possible instability being caused by my mother’s muggle blood had had him spitting fore for days. I’d had to convince him it truly wasn’t worth it to go give Barnabas Cuffe a piece of his mind to make him more considerate of use what he allowed to be posted on his paper. It truly hadn’t been worth it. Maybe I could ignore it because I didn’t care all that much about Harry’s parents and saw insults them as just another thing to be ignored. Rather than confronted. ...

Chapter 16.2- The Seadragon's Roar

We continued to build. This was the first time I was ever building something exclusively with my hands in this life, and the same went for both my mother and sister. I wished it didn’t but it showed. It was a good boat, definitely seaworthy, but it was nothing compared to what had initially drawn up. Instead of that impressive mini-ship that would show his magificence and how much we valued him, it was all we could do to make a small fishing boat. I had confidence it would sail though. Sail...

Chapter 69.2- One Thousand hands

First things first, I had to get rid of Danzo himself. There was no chance I could convince him int letting this slide. If I were him, there would be no chance I’d forget this, or fail to use it to the fullest.he would inevitably try to weaken my position with this, which was not something I could much afford at this resent time. Could I make him forget? I laughed at the thought. Genjutsu a jounin as paranoid as Danzointo forgetting something? Might as well start flying or some shirt. Exce...

Chapter 50.1- Doom Days

Dumbledore was a fool, I thought as I stared at the newspaper. It was happening even in this world. There was no dead Cedric, but 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 Tri-Wizard 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 right thing t...

Chapter 68- One Thousand Hands (Complete)

There was only one thought on my mind as I gazed at the empty casket. Danzo. Fucking Danzo. He dared. He fucking dared do this? While I lived? The audacity ate at me. It was a small miracle that I remembered to put the casket back where it had been and arrange things so there was no trace of my presence and actions. All the while, I thought of what I would do to Danzo once I got my hands on him— after I got back my Grandfather’s body.

When everything was sorted, I felt for the Hirai...

Chapter 15- The Seadragon's Roar (Last Wishes)

Laena had been serious about not seeing Father in this state. Even now, she was out flying with Vhagar while I sat with Mother and the maester, watching him sleep soundly.

“So there’s nothing you can do? Nothing at all?” This was not the first time Mother was asking this question.

“Maybe if I had gotten to him a few seconds after he was wounded, then I would have had a chance. Not a guarantee, mind you; it would have been a slim chance regardless. Wounds like this, well, w...

Chapter 49- Doom Days (All things End)

It took a whole day for me to remember that my ICW AWLS results had been scheduled for release the day after the Third Task. I knew I won the third Task; I had the cup and the bag of gold sitting on my desk to drive that point home. Since there was only so much I could do while essentially strapped to a hospital bed, I had space for my mind to stray.

“So how’d the results turn out?” I asked Sirius. My godfather had his face buried in the Daily Prophet, but he clearly heard me and ...

“What do you mean? What are you talking about?”

“Why, the runic magic you used in he first take, of course. Being able to cast rune based magic without extensive preparation is something that is near impossible, especially considering you did it by combining elder furthrak runes with a West African language. Every attempt to replicate what you did has failed, and so it is something that remains uniquely yours and allows you to develop a set of skills that even Tom will not be abl...

Chapter 15.6- The Seadragon's Roar

It made sense to some extent. Making her even more attractive meant she would have no shortage of suitors and it was up to us to pick the best one rather than Corlys seeking a marriage since he would not be around for that anymore. Should I have felt bad that he didn’t necessarily trust me to find Laena a good husband? Nope, there was no chance I’d have trusted myself with that either. Wasn’t even certain I was comfortable with her getting married at all? Who is to say that she wouldn�...

I waited to see what he would try next, and was slightly disappointed when he shot to his feet and instead of closing the distance again, began to weave seals at a rapid pace. He breathed a wind release vacuum wave in my direction. I broke down the technique with my byakugan as I saw it form and be sent at me. Danzo was well known as one of the most dangerous wind release users in the village— if not the most dangerous because of his invention. The Vacuum techniques. While standard wind rel...

“What do you mean?” I asked, pouncing on the statement. Was this just him trying to discourage me so I didn’t get much better to make it easier for him to use me as a sacrifice.

“Tom Riddle was a prodigy among prodigies. When it comes to magic, he had more talent than even myself. More talent than I have seen in any other. He could learn spells by intuition alone. He could feel the magic around him and bend it to his will in ways that most wizards would not dare. And he could d...

He lay on the floor for a second or so while I waited for him to get up. This time, he did so slowly. So slowly that without the byakugan, I might have even fallen for it and assumed he was on his last legs.

“What is the meaning of this? Showing up to my house unannounced? Attacking me? A sitting clan head? You must have grown arrogant in your position if you think the village will stand for this? You’ll never be Kage when I’m done with you” He spat, the vitriol in his voice wa...

“He wants you all to come in now” Mother said, poking her head outside the room. I’d taken hold of Laena’s hand and essentially refused to let go of it since I managed to convince her to come here, to join us in this. We went into the room, and I felt her squeeze my hand like a vice caught in her grip as she caught sight of him for the first time.

“My daughter, my star of the sea” He called to her, voice still shaky but there was a strength to it now. Not the kin...

“You’re welcome” Laena said about ten minutes later, walking into town with the man in front of her loon like he had seen hell itself.

“I didn’t say thank you” I pointed out. We had o fix that roof, and it wasn’t like we had an abundance of laborers to work with. Still I signaled for the man to be taken into custody and he was.

“Then I guess we should revisit your education on manners”

“What would you know about manners?” I snorted. This gi...
