Chapter 5.5- The Seadragon's Roar

I blocked the attack, gritting my teeth as I felt my arm and shoulder shake from the force of his blow. Ser Manfred was terrible when it came to holding back. I moved my own sword into position but my return blow was too slow and he was slapping my blade away with a flick of his wrist in a manner of seconds.

I stepped back, mindful of my footwork to not let myself get tripped up for the seventh time today. With my step back, I took a step forward almost immediately, aiming t...

Chapter 5.4- The Seadragon's Roar

—

“Welcome to Storm’s End” Boremund Baratheon greeted me with those words as I was led into the throne room where storm kings had ruled from for generations. High Tide was a beautiful castle in its own right, a masterpiece of marble and glass, but there was something it just lacked when compared with Storm’s End. For one, the Baratheon Castle was at least half again High Tide’s size. Not quite impractically large like Harrenhall had been. But it was still clear that the cast...

Chapter 58.4- One Thousand hands

This time, with a smile on her face to match mine, she mirrored my movements, coming for me just as I came for her.

She struck first or at least tired to, a sweeping kick that hit nothing but air as I jumped straight over it, and as I fell, I dropped two kunai aimed right at her. She deflected the both of them with immense force, sending them flying into the distance. One disadvantage of facing someone that knew all your tricks was that they knew all your tricks. I landed on the floor ...

Chapter 58.3- One Thousand Hands

I did, jumping to the left as a bolt of screaming lightning shot across the area where I’d just been standing. A second later, I belt Uzume’s chakra bleed into the mist and it was only my familiarity with her bag of tricks that had me blowing out a gust of hurricane force winds as I spun in a circle to dismiss the now electrified mist before it could reach me. She said nothing, remaining silent, but I felt her fingers and hands move in deliberate movements. Shurikenjutsu, I figured. The o...

Chapter 5.3- The Seadragon's Roar

I looked over at Corlys behind her shoulder and he just winked in my direction. Yeah, he’d definitely be sending more even if I squandered this bit. Good news, because I hd no doubts that my experiments would end up being quite expensive.

“Is Laena coming?” I found myself asking, even if I knew the answer already.

“She seems to have gotten it into her head that you will not leave without her saying goodbye and so has locked herself away in her rooms” Mother said with a...

“Have everything?” She asked, while making sure that I was tight against the saddle. Generally, I preferred to ride without chains, but Rhaenys had vetoed that in seconds citing the storms that plagued the region I was going to be visiting.

“Considering you oversaw the packing, I think I should be asking you that question” I said cheekily and I saw the temptation to clap me over my ears for the cheek, but she changed her mind and gave me a peck instead.

“The ...

Chapter 58.2- One Thousand Hands

The shuriken that had been tossed in the air to symbolize the fight beginning landed on the forest ground with a solid chunk and then we were off. With everyone else, I fought passively, weathering attacks and waiting to ee what they could do. With Uzume, doing that would be so suicide as it would let her get into the groove of things so I started on the front foot. With an explosion of steam, I covered the distance between us faster than I ever could have and unleashed a punch straight at he...

Chapter 5.1- The Seadragon's Roar

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 58.1- One Thousand Hands

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 ...

He ducked underneath the kunai slash is new student sent right at his head. Come at me with the intent to kill, he had said, and to his surprise these young ones had not hesitated even for a second. Not even his cut little sister had done more than give him a questioning look before unleashing the full cope of her power towards achieving that goal. Speaking of little sister, he moved like water to avoid the golden chains that attempted to encircle hi...

Chapter Thirty-Eight- Doom Days (Complete)

I shattered multiple blocks of granite with powerful curses. Confringo, confringo, confringo, I mentally incanted over and over again, trying to empty my mind of the fury that filled it. With a roar, a blast of blue flames left my wand, scarring the floor and heating a block of stone so thoroughly that it exploded from within. Once it didm, I fell to my knees, spent. The duel with Krum had gone far from well. I’d done ,y best, but he was too fast with the staff, too dangerous. My magic had ...

104 AC

“Continuous blast” I said, and watched as Igneel obeyed perfectly, sending a stream of red flames straight at the boulder we were practicing with. I timed it mentally, counting up the seconds as I marveled at his growth. Years ago, he would have struggled to get to five. Now, he did not stop until seventy-three.

“Seventy-three” I told him in High Valyrian, and his claws scuffed the ground as he growled in irritation. On more than one occasion, but mother and Laena ...

“I watched the duel yesterday” I began today’s training session with as I prepare myself to deflect paintballs shot at me t tremendous speeds like we’d been doing for the past few sessions.

“Indeed? Tell me what you learned” Flitwick asked, turning to his teapot and waving his wand. The pot set about making tea within itself while the half goblin moved towards his seat behind the desk.

“That the both of them are worlds more powerful than I am” I said. H...

Chapter 38.5- Doom Days

The sand smothered the fire but Voldemort was not done. He fired a killing curse at Dumbledore when the man should not have been playing attention, but the old man willed the sand to his defence and it blocked the killing curse, stopping it in its tracks by smothering it just the way it had smothered the flames.

The Dark Lord, irritated and allowing it to visibly show on his face began a spell chain that even I struggled to recognise. Curse after curse flowed from his wand, each one si...

Chapter 57.6- One Thousand Hands

“Okay then. I’ll be ready” I said with a smile. A good fight might just be what the doctor ordered. It meant all of tomorrow morning would be gone in terms of productive time but from what Uraume was saying, then it was going to reap enough dividends to be worth it.

With my activity for tomorrow decided, I decided to spend the rest of the day crossing as many things off my agenda as possible. That meant clones, and a lot of them. One clone sent to the Uzumaki compoun...

Chapter 4.6- The Seadragon's Roar

“You couldn’t give a guy a warning?” I asked, turning to Igneel instead of my mother. He whimpered while Meleys growled in his direction.

“That’s enough of that. He’s in trouble as well as you are” Mother said, looking the Queen that she never got to be. At least she did for a second before she sighed and slid from Meleys’ saddle unto the uneven roofing of High Tide before walking over to me.

“You couldn’t stay inside any longer could you, my boy?” She aske...

Chapter 38.4- Doom Days

But if time was on Dumbledore’s side, then chaos was on Voldemort’s. He was like a boulder tossed into the ocean. He looked at every factor arrayed against him and then laughed in their faces. With a vicious slash of his wand, fiendfyre bloomed into being. Now, I had controlled flames before. Fire was literally my element of choice when it came down to it, but what he did? Comparing what he did to what I usually did was like comparing an ember to a firestorm. It was like trying to see the...

Chapter 4.5- The Seadragon's Roar

This body needed to be in the sky. It needed to feel the wind against its skin. The itch of being confined half one from irritating to unbreakable in no time at all, and now I was going to finally do something about it.

I pushed upwards with my left leg and hand at the same time to allow my right to get purchase on the next openings. My fingers searched upwards and onwards, grabbing into suitable holds to keep my body stable. It was almost unreal, how this body had such instinctive str...

“Did you see that?” I asked Uraume now that we had retreated to my office. “That girl, she has no understanding of time and place. To challenge me like that in front of all the Jonin. What the hell was she thinking?” I ranted, feeling frustration take over. I honestly had way too much on my plate— between training, working on m side projects, and preparing the village for invasion while looking like I was doing nothing but whiling away the time as the spies form other vill...

Chapter 38.3- Doom Days

He apparated to the side, but Dumbledore was already moving even before he did so. With a wave of the elder wand— and that was surely the wand of elder held between bony fingers— the ground rose to his control. First the cobblestones turned Tinto a majestic lion that roared and made my bones shake. The lion ran at Voldemort even as a massive proud eagle took to the skies next. Third was a badger as the Hogwarts headmaster called upon the mascots of his school’s house to fight for him. <...

“You don’t worry me like that ever again” She whispered in his hair as she held him close— not even dully cognizant of how she had covered the space between them— breathing in his scent. He smelled like dragon dung and charcoal but most importantly, he smiled alive.

In all honesty, I should have seen this coming. With hindsight on my side, it as clear that it was inevitable. What was a parent’s instinctive solution for fighting children— separation. Tha...

Chapter 57.4- One Thousand Eyes

Just what I wanted, as far as I was concerned. Because when we won this, there would be no doubt who the biggest, baddest, scariest kid on the block was, and then we’d see how they reacted and act accordingly— te silk glove or the iron fist. It would all be up to them.

“I overruled your decision” I told Uzume, staring her right in the eyes. I knew I was going to be faced with anger, raw fury. The kind of fury that meant that I had assigned the duty of informing her to ...

Chapter 57.3- One Thousand Hands

The nature chakra enhanced clones came immediately in the aftermath of that attack, and it was only Kurama in my head warning me of their intentions that allowed me avoid the first attack from underneath. I felt the ground beginning to shift into mud and I put my own chakra into the fray, trying to force it to maintain its solid state. My elemental manipulation was too sloppy in the tailed beast cloak to consider allowing them change the environment like that. Fighting them off was just a mat...

Chapter 4.3- The Seadragon's Roar

Whatever she was about to say escaped her mind as she watched Igneel bank past the Castle through Corlys’ immense glass windows. Her smile grew at seeing her prodigious son’s equally prodigious dragon, but it died as she saw the shadow behind him. Vhagar. The oldest living dragon came upon Igneel in a flash of bronze and the next thing she knew, the two dragons had collided into each other. The noise was something that she ached to cover her ear from as Igneel managed little resistance to...

XXX- RHAENYS

The Queen who never was was a woman of great and deep passions. She loved wholly and fully when she could. She had loved her father, her mother before she was lost to her, her husband, and fairly recently, both her children. She would love to say she loved them equally, but there was no way to deny the fact that Laenor, even with all his precocious mischief worried her less than Laena did. He was just so much more careful most of the time— at least when it did not concern...

Chapter 57.2- One Thousand Hands

“Okay, so what did you learn from that?” I asked, sitting in front of what was to become my team of genin. I felt a strange attachment to them. These people that I had known as characters in another life, and who I have only known about one in this one. Kushina’s eyes were dim, disappointed. Even Mikoto was downtrodden. Namikaze on the other hand seemed to be watching me like a puzzle he was trying to solve.

“We should have gotten your hands locked up first to prevent you from ...

Chapter 38.2- Doom Days

On one side, Dumbledore. Behind him lay a crowd of the sick, the injured, the dead, and dying. It was the quintessential knight in shining armour situation where he stood before the downtrodden, trying to protect them from the big bad wold. The big bad wolf in this case was Voldemort. And he stood on the other side. His followers— the death eaters stood behind him, egging him on as he faced what the world had known as its most powerful wizard. This was the duel that cemented, Voldemort’s ...
