Chapter 10.1- The Seadragon's Roar

Uncaring for who might be watching or what they might say, Corlys swept me into his arms the second I landed, holding my head between his right arm and his chest like it was an egg he was scared he would crack while seeming to be doing is best to shatter my ribs at the same time. I did my best to return the hug.

“Well done. That was very well done. Haven’t seen flying like that since your mother” He said, and that was high praise. Rhaenys was pretty much universally accepted as t...

Chapter 9: The Seadragon's Roar (The Seadragon's Rage)

I was born to be on the seas, I thought, as I felt the wind through my hair as Father’s flagship cut through the waves like a knife through butter.

“We’re going to hit eight knots, and we’re barely even close to top speed,” one of the crew said to Father, and I could see a smile split his face. Corlys Velaryon was a serious, serious man, but there was one place where he was relaxed all the time: in the open sea with the wind in his hair and a ship beneath his feet. I looked t...

Chapter 43.6- Doom Days

I had to turn to the side to allow Cedric’s spell to fly past my shoulder and hit nothing but air, continuing on into the distance. Cedric himself? He was no longer on his platform. It took me a second to find him hurtling through the air with both hands on his wand as he swung like he was attached to some rope from the ceiling, coming straight in our direction. I was about to send a finite in his direction and bring an end to whatever harebrained scheme the Hufflepuff had cooked up in his ...

Chapter 9.6- The Seadragon's Roar

The scorpion bolts screamed past us as they managed to fire, only one of them coming so close that I had to lean to the side to make Igneel bank to avoid it. Good. We flipped, going a complete 360 and began shooting downwards again. These people had no knowledge of how to contest Dragons in the air. No real knowledge, rather. They knew how to use the scorpions but not well enough. Blanket fire was useless when you wasted all your payload in one shot and had to reload immediately after. It was...

XXXX- KUSHINA UZUMAKI

When her brother had told hr that he would be taking her ff to war with him, this was not. What she had expected. If she was being honest, she had been more than a little bit scared. Especially since Grandmother Mito and Big Brother had fought about it. They had tried to keep her out of the room, but she’d figured out their barrier seals years ago, and they still hadn’t caught on that she could listen in on them whenever she wanted to. Probably because she rare...

Chapter 43.5- Doom Days

He seemed to growl with rage and then arced his hand backwards before lashing to with his wand like it was a whip. From the end of his wand came a thin stream of blue flames that covered the distance between us faster than any spells had, and rocked my whole body when I blocked with a protego. The whip— for that was what it was rested against my shield for a second before Krum brought it to bear again, sending it against my shield and this time forcing me to take a step back from th force t...

Chapter 43.4- Doom Days

I turned around to see that it was Fleur that had sent the spell my way. She had somehow transfigured wings from her back and was flying straight for the central platform. She would easily outpace both Cedric and I if she made it without opposition . Of course, this was the triwizard tournament— there was no lack of opposition. Cedric sent a piercing hex her way that she was forced to turn around to deflect. I forced her to form a shield proper with my blasting curse as I prepped and jumpe...

Chapter 62.5- One Thousand Hands

She ran right at him and he moved backwards as the one with explosion release was in her way again.. he was the one with the most short range skill, middling as his taijutsu was. She leaned backwards to avoid a stretched punch. Just as expected, he released an explosion in her face. Fudō meant that she felt none of it, her mangekyou ability even protecting her eyes from the sudden influx of light. So instead of reeling like he Ould have expected, she came further in. His eyes were wide and s...

Chapter 9.5- The Seadragon's Roar

I watched as the rest of Corlys’ plan had come together almost perfectly. The three chasing fleets had reenforced to group together, becoming one larger fleet that chased the much smaller Velaryon fleet but found themselves unable to catch up to us with our superior speed. Igneel and I shot higher and higher in to the air until we were completely covered by the clouds themselves. From this high, I couldn’t see more than tiny dots to represent the ships themselves. By contrast, Igneel coul...

XXXXXX- UZUME

The three of them worked well together, she thought as she traded blows with the one with explosion release. He punched an explosion in her direction, but it was child’s play for her hand to reach up and smack his wrist, guiding his blow over her shoulder and away from her. His taijutsu might have been special for an Iwa shinobi but Uzume had grown up with prodigies like Uraume and Shorirama himself. Compared to them, this man’s taijutsu, for all its explosive nature a...

Chapter 9.4- The. Seadragon's Roar

It was still challenging, making the climb with my barely pubescent muscles and with very little to hold on to for support other than the rough rope. As I felt the rope sting my hand, I made a decision to start wearing gloves more often. Just because I ran hot and didn’t need them for their protection against the cold didn’t mean they wouldn’t be useful for other things— the rope burn I was feeling being a perfect example.

When I reached the deck, two of the crew men reached d...

Chapter 43.3- Doom Days

Each of the floating stone platforms stood a considerable distance away from the ledge, and from each other, but it was clear that they made up some sort of path to the larger platform at the edge of the room. The platform that I could see that both Krum and Cedric were on their way to. That was probably where the next coin lay. I took a breath before casting a featherweight charm on myself. It took to some extent as I shot myself at the platform wit a silent venti. The wind charm bl...

Chapter 9.3- The Seadragon's Roar

—

Being in a rowboat in the midst of ships moving at their full speed was an experience that I was far from certain that I wanted to repeat. For one we already had two close calls where ships unable to see us had almost ploughed straight through us. It was only the quick thinking, and even quicker rowing of the two men with me that saved me from dying in probably the most ignoble way a Dragonlord had ever fallen.

“What are your names?” I asked the two men as they rowed with...

Chapter 62.3- One Thousand Hands

He turned to the side, dropping one arm towards the ground and cloaking it in a rock fist. It was barely in time for him to catch the blade sent his way. The white haired one met his eyes, and he could see a casual disregard of who he was and the power he had worked so hard to gain. He focused his chakra and slammed his foot against the ground. Several earth spears shot from the ground, skewering the man to death. Is earth spears were crushed then as two of his own men came at him.

Chapter 9.2- The Seadragon's Roar

“Yield?” I asked, doing my best to enjoy every second of this. Of course, that was just when he suddenly moved and I had to move my blade to avoid shortening him by a head as he began to retch unto the deck.

“Tell him he’s cleaning that up himself” Corlys shouted from his position at the wheel and I sighed. Of course, that meant that as his squire I was going to end up having to do the cleaning. The smile on my father’s face told me that he had a pretty good idea about that...

Chapter 62.2- One Thousand Hands

He contemplated jumping in on that fight before he noticed that he was surrounded.. His opponents came out of the shadow, one from each direction.

“This the one?” One of them asked, a boy with silver hair and a blade in his hands.

“Yeah, the Tsuchikage’s son. Shori wants him alive” The girl replied. The same girl that he’d almost got with his trap earlier. The other two, a blonde boy, and a Hyuga girl with one arm stared at him, shifting their stances slightly as the...

Chapter 43.2- Doom Days

“Okay, that’s all well and good but what do you want with me?” I asked this time.

“Remember the second task?” He asked, and I began to chuckle. If that was what he was here for, then this was going to be a very short task for him.

“Here for revenge for that? Trust me when I say that’s not going to go well for you”

“No, no. of course not. Just making sure you don’t get the chance to come for me. So I’ll look at the puzzle or whatever is keeping the ki...

Chapter 43.1- Doom Days

“Riddiklulus” I muttered for the umpteenth time, turning this version of myself into a pale fascimile of a ghost that lost its tether to the ground and floated off into the ceiling. I chuckled. That one was actually almost funny. The creature winced but apart from that just continued its footing. It was the tenth boggart I was facing in a row, and after the second, they had stopped triggering my rage, instead triggering a sort of amusement on my end. It was funny just how many they were. ...

XXXX- KITSUCHI

He weaved seals faster than he ever had in his life, moving like his life depended on it. It did. He slammed his palms on the ground, executing a perfect earth moving code to move the piece of eaarth he stood upon above the surface and neatly avoid the fireballs that shot through the air. He weaved seals again, enclosing his fist in a stone fist and catching the young man that had been foolish enough to jump straight at him in the stomach. He pushed forward, sending the ...

Chapter 8- The Seadragon's Roar (Before the War begins)

“Is Tarth the most beautiful island in the Seven Kingdoms?” I found myself wondering as we stared at the island as it revealed itself through the early morning mists. Lord Tarth had not come in person with his ships, but had sent his son and heir, Quentin Tarth, to lead the barges that had been assigned to moving our Stormland force from the mainland over to the island. From there, it would be up to my father to ferry us the rest of the way, and he and his ships were scheduled to arrive a...

Chapter 61- One Thousand Hands

I buried the urge to bury my head in my hands as I stared at the map of Hi no Kuni and began to consider my next options. Somehow, Iwa had managed to figure out that we were the ones behind the attack. That was the only thing that could explain their sudden expansion into our borders. I’d spoken a big game about being ready for the war when it came, and now that it was here, I found myself at a crossroads. Kumo was supposed to be the first to strike—that was the whole point of everything....

Chaoter 42: Doom Days (Most Haunted Place in Britain)

The length of polished wood slammed into my palm in one of the most reassuring feelings known to wizardkind. I briefly considered my options before deciding that searching the forest for Fleur would be a waste of time. So, I shot into the air at full speed, feeling the winds roar past my body with how fast I was moving. I had to weave and duck my way through the foliage that made up the canopy of the Forbidden Forest before I found myself in the open sky. And then I jetted off to the castle e...

Chapter 8.6- The Seadragon's Roar

At that name, bro one said anything further and they began planning the specifics of the attacks themselves. The troop carriers were here already while the carracks that would form part of the offensive against the Pirates at sea were already on their way to the stepstones. Corlys would join them on a fleet made one of caravels to catch them thanks to their superior speed and make both the landing and the first assault together.

“So that’s the plan, Gentlemen” Corlys said at the ...

Chapter 8.5- The Seadragon's Roar

He took two carved ships and placed them against the map he’d brought with him from his flagship. Few houses bothered to have detailed maps that covered more than their holdings so it was no surprise that the Tarths did not have one, and it was no surprise that Corlys had thought of this fact in his own plan-making and organizing.

One of the ships he slid straight to one of the marked islands on the stepstones. The other ship, he moved at a slower pace towards Bloodstone.

“B...

Chapter 42.6- Doom Days

I turned into the hallway, beginning to make my way to the kitchens. From here, it was about a five minute walk as I travelled the castle’s back and out of the way corridors. Of course, I could not help but notice how things were different. The portraits were alive with a sort of enthusiasm I hadn’t ever seen them exhibit. They scurried about from frame to frame, etching me travel through the castle and whispering to themselves. If my instincts wee right, then they were probably keeping t...

Chapter 62.6- One Thousand Hands

The steam cleared because of some wind release jutsu from within the Iwa group, and it was so bad that I almost wished I hadn’t used that jutsu.

Steam was uniquely gruesome in the damage it could cause. I could have used a wind release rasenshuriken or a lightning release: spear of heaven to achieve similar results with nature chakra at my disposal but I knew that neither of those would cause as much chaos and damage as my steam bad. Because the bodies were still there. Just boiled t...

We arrived Tarth in no time, and then were promptly informed that Corlys’ ships had been sighted and it was only a few hours until he would arrive by their calculations. Of course, I knew it would be faster. Especially if they’d started using any of the newer designs I’d “dreamt up”. Indeed, I was right and in an hour and change, my father arrived at the head of a fleet. His ship was a smooth thing that was carved at an angle. A caravel Westeros’ first caravel I was cert...

Chapter 42.5- Doom Days

I scowled and with a thought fire bloomed into being. I incinerated my own creations before they could get more than a few steps close to me. I turned to the ghost and fired a spell that just posed through its incorporeal form.

“Nuh uh, utsy bitsy Potter. No cheating. Play Peevesees game” He sang, floating about to a different end of the hallway. At those words, the knights began to approach again. I mentally took stock of what I had to keep track of. Peeves had some of his water b...

Chapter 61.5- One Thousand Hands

“Are you going to come die or not” Onoki asked from his position, hands crossed. I smiled and shrugged before I began to stretch.

“So you see there were no traps around. I’m not really that much of a fan of overkill, you know. Maximum efficiency and whatnot. So when I hatched this plan up, there was only the need for a single trap. Can you guess when you walked into that one? I’ll give you the answer— it was when you did not turn around and head home the second you knew I w...
