Chapter 40.6- Doom Days

Knowing the spell meant that it was just a simple matter of a countercurse. At least that was the case when the curse was placed on a person. When placed on an object, however? The calculations were fundamentally different. It was why cursebreaking was such a hallowed profession and why they were always in demand.

Regardless, this would b easier than actual cursebreaking. For one, there was only one curse on the comb, and for the other it hadn’t been there long enough for the magic t...

Chapter 59.6- One Thousand Hands

Shiba was the most dangerous of them, his swarm rising with him and dealing with swathes of Kumo shinobi as they came. Every shinobi that tried to engage him at a distance found their bodies covered by specially bred insects that imparted electric shocks at a distance. Apparently, the Aburame had made them by mimicking the behaviour of electric eels. Those who came close were cut apart with Toshiro’s seamless Kenjutsu, near impossible to oppose with how he weaved genjutsu into every movemen...

Chapter 6.6- The Seadragon's Roar

I wrote the letter, and then another, before moving to the Maester’s tower. One of them to the Red Keep, and the other to High Tide.

—108 AC— RHAENYS TARGARYEN

She watched her cousin as he dismounted his dragon, the cancacterous Blood wyrm, her father’s dragon. Claimed in revenge for her decision to clam his mother’s, she knew. She and Viserys might have been able to rescue a cordial relationship from the pressures of court and the competition for the throne but Daemo...

Chapter 40.5- Doom Days

I furrow my brow for a second before I began. A blood malediction was an interesting kind of curse in that it was supposed to pass down the bloodline of the person initially cursed, and a perfect one would get worse over time until it ended the entire line. That was why the curse tended to be attached to other curses that tended to fall into the more minor part of the dark magic spectrum. Well, not just that. There was the fact that a curse that was too powerful or detrimental would fail to t...

Chapter 40.4- Doom Days

I started without hesitation, spinning my wand into the blood boiling curse, and then twirling into the blood freezing curse immediately after. The way he hummed at the maneuver told me that I’d taken him aback with the speed at which I’d executed both of the spells, especially as they were both silent and without the complete wand motions for either spell.

“Ahem. A bone breaker then” He said, and with a snap the model’s arm snapped around to the other side in less than a sec...

Chapter 6.5- The Seadragon's Roar

But his size did not matter in this situation, because I had something he didn’t— a plan.

A good one, even. We rolled along the ground for a few seconds and that confusion was all I needed to find the dagger strapped to my side and place it at his neck. “Yield?” I asked this time with audible menace in my voice. I was irritated enough at that his first trick to run him through with the dagger if he tried something else. Not through his neck though. Maybe his shoulder. Yeah, tha...

Chapter 59.5- One Thousand Hands

With the woman under Inoken’s control, his movements shifted again. Where with the first man, he had shrunk in on himself trying to avoid attention and make sure that no one noticed him, with the woman it was the exact opposite. Like he expanded himself to take as much space through the road as possible, and despite that, no one touched him. The woman was given a wide berth, the kind of which that would make sense for a pariah, not the respected Jounin that she had to b to be entrusted with...

Chapter 59.4- One Thousand Hands

They covered the tunnel quickly, being careful to be stealthy enough that they weren’t announcing their presence but well aware that the tunnel was so small that if there was anyone else here, then hey would notice them in virtually no time. Hence the speed in their movements. The tunnel had multiple outlets but beyond using Inoken’s control of the Iwa scouts to get a good understanding of the village layout, they were also using that access to figure out where the village jinchuriki was ...

Chapter 6.4- The Seadragon's Roar

“Yeah, yeah” I said with irritation building at how quickly my win was disregarded before I took my stance again. This time, the Morningstar wielding knight was more hesitant, no willing tp play my game and trying to force me to play his home by remaining in his stance. I knew I couuld outwait him but I could already hear Manfred’s scathing words in my ear if tried that strategy. The Baratheon household were not big fans of what they perceived to be cowardice. I turned away from him fo...

Chapter 40.3- Doom Days

Said Vampire did not look up until he had finished draining the body of every drop of blood it had. Even as pale as the idiot had been before being caught in the vampire’s grasp, it did not hold a candle to how he looked now.

“So, in case I forgot to mention, those application forms you signed to partake in this exams included a caveat that on failing to obey lawful directives issued by the proctor then you would submit to a penalty of the proctor’s choice. In this case, that pen...

Chapter 6.3- The Seadragon's Roar

He plodded over towards me as this time instead of running in his direction, I let him be the one to make the first move. He swung the Morningstar straight in my direction. I took a step back, noting how the rod the chain and the ball at the end of the chain moved in unison. He waited for me to counter with an attack of my own but I did not, content to stand and wait for him to make the next move.

Make the next move he did, as he swung for me again and once again I took another step ba...

Chapter 59.3- One Thousand Hands

They moved like shadows once they were out of their hole in the mountain, working to cover it silently, quickly, and most importantly stealthily. Now the genjutsu that covered them was entirely Toshiro’s. Kizuru’s auditory genjutsu worked by cloaking one sound as another. Out in the wilds that would have been ideal, but here any sound was going to be investigated regardless and they needed him to preserve his chakra for the next stage of their plan when they would actually need him to be ...

Chapter 40.2- Doom Days

“Any questions? No? Good. Now we’ll take this in alphabetical order. Mr. Abdussatorov, you first” The examiner said, turning to one of the four that had been shivering with an intense look ion his face.

The man stepped forward, and I could swear that he honest to gods moaned when he grabbed a hold of his wand. The first spell he was asked to use, the organ liquefying curse was sloppy as it left its wand in a sputtering blast of acid yellow. Still it brought him some form of sick ...

Chapter 40.1- Doom Days

“Here is a special exemption granted by the Director of Education permitting you to use spells rated as up to Class Five dark magic within this exam and for the purposes of this exam only” The man across from me said, red eyes gleaming. The red eyes had been getting to me since the minute I’d stepped into this room and only the knowledge that Voldemort would rather be gelded than take a job as a paper pusher for the ICW had me keeping my wand sheathed. His complexion, so pale that he mi...

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Doom Days (Can you dance?)

“No, not like that” I whispered as the glass ballerina shattered into a million pieces. With a sigh and a wave of my wand, it came back together again. “Now, let’s try again, Miss Perkins. I need you to animate that to dance and just to dance. You can see that it is in a certain position already. What do they call that?” I asked myself, trying to figure out what the ballet position was known as.

“A pirouette” my student for the day said. That was it.

“Yes, that’...

“This is so fucking stupid” She heard Inojin whisper in hr ear, and didn’t nod but agreed with him all the same. It was stupid, and risky, but it was the way to get the job done. She and Shori might have been the only ones who knew how well and truly fucked Konoha was at this point. Shori’s innate insanity might have been the only thing keeping the people from protesting his reign in the streets but he needed to deliver something, and deliver it quickly. That ...

I pressed the attack, transitioning from a straight slash that forced my opponent backwards to a stab at his chest that he had to lift his held to block. When he brought his Warhammer to bear, I weaved to the side before my foot found the back of his knee and forced him to one knee. He tried to bring the hammer around again, but a slap from the side of my sword into said arm made him think better of it. Next, my sword was at his throat, he was yielding and I almost began jumping a...

“Good morning, My name is Topsy Turvy. You might address me as Madam Turvy for the duration of these exams, even as I struggle to see any reason why you would want to address me during this process” The woman appeared at the desk in front of the room in a puff of smoke the moment the clock struck to make it 8 o’clock.

“As you must both be aware, the ICW does not tolerate cheating or malpractice of any forms in any of their examinations but this one most especially. Any attempt...

“Mr. Harry James Potter for the Advanced Wizarding Levels” I said to the man at the reception desk. He took hold of my wand, placing it in their scanner before humming as it told him something.

“11 inches, Holly and pheonix feather. In use for four years?” He asked. I nodded.

“Good, you can go in. Good luck, Mr. Potter. Those things are a nightmare” He said, and I nodded, taking the warning seriously. There was a reason I’d delayed my exams to this point ...

“Just one more time, please think about your best memories. The times you’ve felt happiest. You need to isolate those feelings and put them into the magic. It’s not enough to just say the words and point your wand— not with charms at this level” I said, only for my words to get ignored as I was struck with another light pink bolt of magic.

“At this point if you won’t even—“ Another bolt of magic that failed to have any effect.

“Did you even try for ...

Chapter 39.3- Doom Days

The fifth years filed in across the next five minutes. A Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff class. At least Flitwick had the goo sense not to have me working with other Gryffindors o Slytherins. Those ones would have found some way to make this experience even more painful than it already ws. Flitwick’s idea of teamwork, contrary to what I had expected consisted of me being attached too the problem children of his class- from the first years to the fifth years.

When Egdecombe finally came in, ...

“Well done, Miss Perkins. Fifteen points to Ravenclaw for an amazing performance” Flitwick said, heralding the applause. She looked up at me, shocked to be recognised but I just gave her a smile and joined the applause.

“Well done to you as well, Mr. Potter. That’s some good teamwork skills I’m seeing” He said, and even the urge to scowl from the reminder of what this punishment truly was could not beat the pride I felt at seeing the little girl succeed at a spell she’d p...

“The Daimyo?” I asked Uraume as we stepped into my office with Uzume by our side this time. She hadn’t left since the ight ended, and considering that was the most fun I’d had n a long time, I ain’t much opposed to having her around.

“Looked into it, spoke to a few of the ministers that he came with that the Hyuga have business with. Offer him a place in Konoha, the security of our walls, promise him that nothing will touch him here, and he will be your man till he dies” ...

I stared at the letter with rage building in my gut. I knew there was something I failed to take into account with this Baratheon squireship.Just go away for a few years, gt stronger and develop at your own pace had bee the offer, and I’d taken it like a good without causing to think about what I would be missing. Now, I could see it clearly. Corlys’ letter wrote about the pirates in the Stepstones attacking Velaryon ships without hesitation nor reprisal, and then his ...

Chapter 5: The Seadragon's Roar- Into the Storm's End

On today’s episode of women being near impossible to understand, we have the pre-teen Laena Velaryon, I wrote in my journal as I looked at her over the dinner table. Mother would ask me to put it away once the old arrived, so I quickly went back to writing my thoughts down as I thought them. Laena had been pissed at being unable to go flying with Vhagar. With that context, one would have expected her to be overjoyed at that punishment being lifted with my imminent departure. But against all...

Chapter 58- One Thousand Hands (Complete)

I started the fight in sage mode. There would be no holding back on my end. Not with the Daimyo himself, surrounded by six of his guardians to prevent any runaway attacks, here in the audience to witness the match. The conversation yesterday had been less than effective, with the both of us essentially just going around and around in circles. I explained the nitty-gritty of my plan to the Daimyo, and showed him why it was necessary to sacrifice those villages, and he lamented sacrificing the ...

“Then this loss shouldn’t surprise you” I said as my feet sunk into the shoulder of my mecha and I gained an instant awareness of the giant mud construct I’d made. The bones of this jutsu were similar to that of my mud clone jutsu. I had no idea how Hashirama made constructs with some ability to fight on their own because that seemed to be something completely out of the question for me.

Her Sussano’s first punch probably aimed to take advantage of my seeming inattention, but...

Chapter 5.6- The Seadragon's Roar

I weaved to the side, trying to move away from his sword’s range. My first stab was caught on his shield as I forced him to finally bring said shield to bear. I danced backwards, avoiding the predictable shield bash before banking to the side suddenly. My sword moved for his back, but he whirled around with speed that belied his size. My sword was sent flying into the air as it came in contact with his, and the next second, his sword was at my throat.

“Yield” I muttered sullenly,...

Chapter 58.5- One Thousand Hands

Now, it must fall upon me to describe the battlefield in which Uzume and I fought upon, to enable you understand just what was about to happen. The Jounin sparring league held their matches in a large clearing within training ground 44 that got wider and wider with each fight between powerful jounin. Now, the clearing was so wide that it was about the size of three football pitches squashed together, surrounded by the giant trees that called the Forest of death home. In that treeline stood, s...
