“Nepal?” He asked as he walked into the Dining room snatching an apple from the table and reading the headline over my shoulder.
“Was only a matter of time, I guess” I said in reply. And that was the truth. Japan in this world had some of the strongest and most dedicated wizards in the world. They’d more or less fought the entire world when they launched their first attempted conquest of Asia and held the world to a stalemate. Now that it had been decades since then and much ...

Against my better instincts, I froze with fear. Luckily for us all, my sister had no such higher functions, and she’d turned once she saw me frozen. “There she is” she yelled for all the sailors to hear.

With Vhagar’s size it proved difficult to convince the crew to sail The Leana Velaryon over to the next island. I considered just flying Leana over on Igneel but then that would bear the risk of having her smell like another dragon and maybe drawing Vhagar’s ire. I...

“You can’t wait till we find Vhagar, can you?” I asked with a smirk. She shook her head and then began enthralling me with tales of what she had read about the Bronze beast that would have in another world burned her name into history with her actions in the Dance of Dragons.

The Stepsons were pirate infested at their best, and so we weren’t caught my by surprise. “Position, Lord Leanor?” The true captain of this vehicle called out. I simply stared down the approaching ship. The Dragon Carrier was behind us, but not much so.
“Send a signal to the crew of the Dragon Carrier” I said and watched with a telescoping eye— a far eye in local parlance as the top half of the deck was removed. My bond with Igneel meant he could feel exactly what I wanted ...

The second ship was something that I’d gotten the idea of from my previous life. It was an aircraft carrier— designed for the only kind of aircraft that called this world home— Dragons. That meant it was essentially a massive barge. I’d designed it for igneel, an taking his seemingly endless rapid growth into account, made it suited for something half again his current size so that meant ti could carry a wagon like meleys even if it would be a bit cramped for the red queen herself.

I walked with her until she took her seat and then I walked across the room, saying my final hellos to everyone I passed before I took my seat opposite her and next to Uzume. Was it strange that we were next to each other? It would have been if I was the Senju clan head as they were on the opposite end of the room, diametrically opposed to the Uchiha and all that.

“So what are you going to call this one?” Leana asked as we watched my latest invention come off the assembly line. The assembly line itself was one of my inventions. It allowed the shipyards of Driftmark produce ships just as quickly as the famed Arsenal of Bravos. House Velaryon ruled then waves and I would not see our dominance contested by a city of merchants and bankers. Losing my bid for the throne had actually been a boon in a lot of ways. For one, it had shown Father ...

Tsunade was huddled ver the Hokage’s body, pumping it with chakra and trying her best to put his organs back together. It said something about the situation he was in that even a healer ofTsunade’s skill was struggling to just keep him alive. Half his chest was gone, his heart had lost a good chunk of its mass and then there was hi lung— singular. The other one was just completely gone. So no, H...

The pair, two women, made an attempt to resist her will, but the first met her eyes in shock and turned to the side, stabbing her partner with a kunai right in the throat before freezing in the complete motion and allowing Uzume to bury a shuriken into her neck before jumping over to the Hokage.

Even with my flame freezing charm, I could feel the heat of the place against my skin. It was a fucking erupting volcano. I slashed my wand to the side, redirecting a spurt of magma to the side, allowing it to roll down the ground to my side. Above the arena, there was a large stone platform that was basically at the centre of the volcano, floating above it. Around the pla...

__ I twirled my wand as I apparated from platform to platform. I dodged away from a stunner by turning on the spot and sent one of my own at my opponent who also apparated to avoid it. I appeared behind the platform he’d chosen before he could even adapt and fired a stunner straight ahead. My spell hit nothing but air and I felt myself be slapped into consciousness.

Even with Kurama’s chakra shielding me, the top layer of skin covering both my arms had been burned right off. Fuck. Its just nature chakra— since kurama’s own chakra stacked in on top of that, I would have lost both arms and probably much off what lay behind them— my head. The injuries were already beginning to scab and heal over— such was he vitality of Kurama’s chakra, but still they did a lot to drive home the threat this man posed.

I layered another flame freezing charm over myself before slashing my wand to create a shield spell. The fire washed over my position, spreading to my left and right, but failing to touch me. Well, piercing spells clearly weren’t the way to go. They’d just taken off the magma which I was forced to realise had been limiting it by making it move even slower than it was capable of. The fire elemental tore through the air after its fire ball and crashed into my shield.

The attack landed, but I was surprised little when my foot hit naught but water. He pushed on with the attack, the scythe coming around again as I began to straighten up.

In the end, we were reasonably late to the Great Council. Not so late that the event had begun, of course. But we had made the choice to send a statement. Corlys had come ahead a week earlier, his fleet heading to drop him off at Maidenpool from where he continued on with a retinue that was about two hundred strong. Us, we left much later than he did and ended up making it to the castle around two days after he did. The dragons made a show of their arrival.

It wasn’t like what he gave me was enough to use the jutsu as even with my eyes I could scarcely understand what exactly he was doing.

They had to be limited to a certain space so the Egyptians had grown fond of using them to guard tombs until it was found that elementals were connected to their creator, ta...
