Chapter 35.4- The Seadragon's Roar

XXXX MID 109 AC

This was the second shipment so far, and so far so good it seemed like the Triarchy were keen to keep their end of the bargain. If only things with Dorne had been so simple, I thought with some measure of disappointment.

“I’ve never seen anyone look sad to be receiving gold before. Chin up, brother” Laena whispered to my side.

“Just thinking about Dorne” I said.

“I don’t see why you won’t just have us burn their coast and leave it at ...

Chapter 69.4- Doom Days

At least that was how it tended to work according to the books Tom Riddle had read on the subject. He’d never er actually done it before. Neither had I. But that was the good thing about the dark arts. They were deceptively easy to use when you ad enough talent.

“Rise, and do my will” I muttered in Gaelic, waiting for the spell to take hold. The wind in the room seemed to go still as the body lurched and rose upright. Almost like it was not used to moving. And then it looked down ...

“Most likely.” He said.

“Then that works for me.” I said, turning back and walking towards the room I’d been imprisoned in.

“Last I checked, you blew a hole in his chest, Harry Potter” I heard his call after me.

“I wonder what they teach at Durmstrang if you think that is an unfixable problem” I tossed back, smile on my face.

“They must put delusions in the broccoli juice in Hogwarts”

“The what?”

“Broccoli juice? You know the dri...

“First of all, what kind of ward is it?” He asked.

“I didn’t ask for a lesson. Just help me remove the ward” I growled back.

“Well, it is not like you find yourself spoiled for choice, is it? We either do this my way or not at all” He said. I looked back at him, and he met my age, not even flinching or backing down slightly. Oh fuck it.

“It’s a boundary ward of some sort. Creates a boundary that no one can pass”

“Mostly correct. But most wards are...

“Now that we all know what we’re doing here and what our individual roles are. We can get to the first order of business. Which is?” I prompted.

“The war” Shikahime filled the silence.

“Indeed. We wiped Iwa off the map so they won’t matter. But Kumo, Suna, and Mizu remain standing. What are we going to do about that?”

“Your letter to Suna hasn’t received a response yet, so we can’t tell if they want to proceed with the war or not. Mizu has stopped th...

“Kneel” He said, and I must have misheard. I looked back at Ben, far at the back and he nodded. This was it. Laena was beaming ear to ear. She’d been in on this for sure.

I dropped to one knee, not even caring about what the mud would do to my breeches. I was getting Knighted.

“Good. Now you can help me polish my boots from there” He said with a laugh. I looked up at him, not shy to say I was gobsmacked. What the fuck?

“A jest, a jest.” He said. And uncaring...

“Everything will be fine, sister. Trust me.”

“That’s the problem”

“Hm?”

“I do. No matter what, I do.”

“That doesn’t sound like a problem to me”, I said with a smile. She just ignored me and kept on walking though, forcing me to speed up to catch up to her.

I heard him not long after I saw him. Even with so much distance between us, Borros would make his voice heard no matter what.

“Cousin” He shouted.

I smiled back at...

Chapter 88.2- One Thousand Hands

And continuing the theme of the council being made entirely of my people, the next person to rise was Shikahime. Where the others had done so crisply and sharply, she rose with a sort of lazy lean that suited her even for all it was out of place in the cold discipline of the room. “Nara Shikahime. Intelligence, Counter Intelligence, and Strategy” She said. And that was another invention of mine.

The goal there was simple. Put the Nara mind towards spying. Well, not spying per se. T...

“And so I call this first meeting of the Hokage’s advisory council in order” I said, feeling the robes as they weighed be down as well as the comforting weight of the hat as I rose from my seat.

We were in one of the many meeting rooms that dotted the Hokage tower. Having it rearranged into a semi-permanent meeting space for this council of mine had been the first thing I’d tasked myself with this morning. In some ways, you could call it my first pos...

“This is a terrible idea. I must state my objections to this”

“Yes, you have stated your objections, Uncle. Seven times at this point, If I’m counting right”

“Eight” Laena corrected by my side.

“Eight times” I amended.

“And yet you insist on going forward with this this this foolishness”

“And yet I insist” I agree.

“Please Nephew.”

“Your pleas are noted, as are your objections. Both are unfortunately disregarded....

Chapter 69.1- Doom Days

I should probably have kept the fiendfyre for long enough to destroy these wards at least, it seemed, I thought to myself as I stood before the door. My rationale had been the fact that with the size the fiendfyre had reached, there was no chance I was going to manage that much without basically announcing myself to the rest of this place. And to be honest, I just wanted to get out of here.

I wanted nothing to do with whatever wierdos had decided reviving an old Grindlewald base to run ...

Chapter 87: One Thousand Hands (Complete)

I stared back at Iwa. This was the place, for good or for ill, that would mark the beginning of my legacy. Here I had fought the Third Raikage to a standstill and then been robbed of a true conclusion by a foolish woman. A foolish woman who had gone on, along with her Suna allies, to kill my cousin and one of her teammates. The other sits in a seal now, waiting to see if we can manage to fix him with the greatest medic of our generation having been killed before her time. And this was also go...

Chapter 68: Doom Days (Meeting Gellert)

While I had not expected the portkey, that did not mean that I was anywhere close to being caught with my pants down. The second the portkey began to whirl, I braced myself for it to release me. As expected, the man pretending to be Julian Russo had not released me even as we were being hurled through a hole torn in the very fabric of space-time.

That didn’t matter, though, because I had a plan. As the spinning began to slow, I played up my natural clumsiness with magical transportati...

Chapter 34: The Seadragon's Roar (Splitting the Difference)

“They sure did manage to step in it this time, didn’t they?” I commented to Laena from where we sat in front of Igneel.

“Yeah, I wondered why you were being so specific about timelines in your letter when there was so little chance of them being able to understand the timeline perfectly. You did it so they would move as quickly as possible, didn’t you?”

“Indeed. They would spend their time trying to figure out when the letter was sent to figure out how much time they...

Chapter 34.6- The Seadragon's Roar

“So we are fully in agreement as to everything then” I said, basically ending the negotiation after what felt like hours of talking and grinding out specificities.

“Yes. The terms are satisfactory. Our scribe and yours can exchange copies now” The interpreter relayed the Lyseni’s words. I gestured to Bernard, and he walked forward with his draft of the treaty. I read it over to make sure everything was in order before handing it over to the Lyseni who was doing the same with ...

Chapter 78.6- Doom Days

“They do want to die, you know? Their present existence is little but pain and hunger. They’ll brave the former in their desire to end the latter” Grindlewald said from the side, sounding more amused than anything else. I huffed, and turned my wand on the first one that made it through the flames.

My blasting curse shot it back in the direction it was coming from. I thought for a second and then stabbed my wand into the ground. Spikes rose in a circle around me that stretched to ...

“You’d have thought that it would have taken them less time than it has to figure out that they like each other” She heard the voice behind her, not even bothering to turn. She had seen Shikahime’s approach from a mile away— literally. Scouting with her byakugan was a bit of caution that she was unsure would ever leave her after the war. Getting caught off guard out there would have meant a quick death and a shallow grave. Those instincts weren’t the kind to l...

It took longer than it should have for me to get myself under enough control to stop laughing. And when I did, it was to find Uzume looking at me with a strange sort of smile. The kind that said she wasn’t sure whether to laugh with me or see to it that I got some help.

“Well, if you must know, I’ve been thinking.”

“Never a good thing” She said, and I couldn’t help but laugh again.

“Yes, yes. But war is easy. Ruling is going to be much harder. For war, I j...

“Now to the matter of the slaves.” I broached.

“Having us turn over our slaves would an overreach”

“One that we must all stomach, I am afraid. It is a non-negotiable. I will have twenty thousand slaves who work in the following industries: shipbuilding, glassmaking, dyemaking, pleasure, administration, customs enforcement, cloth making, and agriculture” I said.

“You mean to build industry in the Stepstones?”

“What I mean to do with the Stepstones ...

So like I was saying: four breeds. The first, the half bats. They all had wings, but the presentation of their bat features differed beyond that. Some had fully human bodies with bat heads, others had bat limbs but human sized, and there was even one who looked especially vicious that was a bat in every respect but the single human head. The head of a human child at that. That one would die no matter what, I decided. And beyond the bats, there were the half snakes. They were basically all the...

Chapter 87.4- One Thousand Hands

“A bird?” I asked, looking about with my byakugan. I could spot a certain Hyuga girl of to the side watching us dance with a smirk on hr face.

“Uraume?”

“Ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies” She said, basically confirming that it had been my Hyuga cousin who had called her here.

“Well, now you’ve seen me” I said.

“And you will keep dancing if you know what is good for you” She said pointedly when the music of the present song came ...

“But it is my offer” I said, and the Magisters spoke to one another in their Bastard Valyrian until one of the Lyseni men finally spoke to the interpreter. And the man finally turned to me, clearly more pleased to be able to actually relay the message that had been given to him.

“The Triarchy can not afford the terms of the offer you have laid out before us. We can suggest other terms however. The return of the Westerosi slaves who have found their way into Triarchy territory thr...

“And what makes you think I would not be able to make it out of here on my own?” I asked, quirking my eyebrow at him. He looked to be in his mid-teens. Probably about sixteen or so. Gellert Grindlewald had been one hell of a prodigy, but he hadn’t been so strong as to say that I wouldn’t give myself good odds if we were to face ourselves in combat.

“You are what? Fourteen? Fifteen? While I myself am only a few years older, I can tell you that there are no wizards like me out ...

Chapter 87.3- One Thousand Hands

“Do you think I don’t hear Tobi’s voice as well? Do you think my conscience has cleared me for sending hum to save my family and having him not come back? I had hoped this would change with the village, but all the village has done is not prepare you adequately. You will love, and you will lose that love. My children, my husband, my siblings, cousins, friends, all dead. Each one is another voice in my head. And one day you will have so many voices that they will all blend together. Now ...

Chapter 34.3- The Seadragon's Roar

“Threatening to attack our cities is not how one begins a peace negotiation” The announcer turned interpreter turned to me and said after one of the Magisters spoke. He was translating his words then.

“Sending an insult is not how one replies an offer to discuss the terms of peace” I shot back.

“What insult? This one is unaware of any insult?” Vaemond bristled in his seat but did not rise. On my signal, Igneel roared into the sky, before breathing the hottest flames ...

“One of who, Gellert. Tell me”

“You would have the truth from me, but you lie to me just as assuredly. Tell me now and tell me the truth. Who are you and how do you know who I am?” He asked.

“I am Harry Potter of Great Britain. I know who you are because we were taught about you at school. You grow up to become a Dark Lord of some notoriety. You unite Europe against you, and still you fight on, outmatching them all with your brilliant mind and skill with a wand” With...

Chapter 78.2- Doom Days

I aimed my wand at the far end of the wall, the part that I felt was moe likely to lead outside and fired a blasting curse. It blew through the wall, yes, but then there was nothing behind it but more stone.

“I’d advise you not to continue” I spun on my heels, finding myself next to a man somehow. When had he gotten in here? How had he done so? Without my notice?

“Is this some sort of illusion?” I asked instantly, clearing my mind again. Nope, he was still there when I...

Chapter 34.2- The Seadragon's Roar

“Presenting: their majesties, the representatives of the Grand Council of the Triarchy…” They had brought an orator, of course. A very long winded one it seemed as I shared a look of long suffering with Laena before we took our seats. The man was still talking, taking great care, it seemed not to forget a single irrelevant and undoubtedly self-invented title this group of eight had given themselves in their long and insignificant lives.

The gist of it was that there were four of ...

“You should be out there” I heard her footsteps, cane moving before feet followed before I heard her voice speak. If I turned around . But then again, I had sensed her chakra walk into the building minutes earlier. She was moving slower than she should have. Her voice was quieter as well.

“Doing what? I’m more useful in here....
