Rise of the Dragon - Chapter 007

[A/N: I greatly enjoyed writing that chapter, though I am still not sure what to include in this story and what not at this point, as the Narutoverse has so much to offer power- and plotwise.

Anyway, enjoy!]

Chapter 007 – Resistance Seal

[Year 69 – March – Konohagakure – Senju Compound]

Beneath the Senju Libraby there was an underground stone chamber, which was currently lit with a few candles and lanterns, though the room was mostly empty except a s...

The Phoenix - 085

[A/N: Canon is finally coming around, even though there are some changes and more will come, I am very happy that the story has finally reached this point. I will probably write five or so more chapters, before taking some time to write a chapter or two for my Naruto FF, like I had promised to some of you and maybe one for The Wanderer.

Enjoy!]

Chapter 085 – Wolf

[297 AC – Two months later]

Walking through the dense woodland, Phenex' mind was wandering t...

The Phoenix - 084

Chapter 084 – Connection

[297 AC]

Softly, Rhaella's hand brushed over Phenex' bare chest and abdomen, while he was still fast asleep. She didn't want to wake him either, as she felt at peace by just listening to his heartbeat while resting her head on his chest.

These quiet moments where she could just be by his side were worth more to her than anything else. Being able to love whom she loved, feeling his warmth on her bare skin after a night of shared intimacy - how could...

The Phoenix - 083

Chapter 083 – Pentos

[297 AC]

“So the Pentoshi decided to yield, so that they may prevent falling victim to the same fate that has befallen Qohor?”, Phenex remarked with intrigue, as he sat in the council chamber.

Kinvara sat by his side, while the rest of the Bright Sun council were also present.

"Yes, the Prince has basically offered his and the magisters' loyalty and willingness to follow the Red Temple's orders and rule. Of course, he was not as direct in his...

The Phoenix - 082

[A/N: Sorry for the late update, I had to take care of some personal matters.]

Chapter 082 – Promise

[296 AC]

Phenex' impression of Jorah Mormont was not very positive and he had even glanced at the man's essence through his inborn connection and power over everything that was life, to make sure he didn't misjudge him, which he didn't.

The former Lord of Bear Island was a man without substance, lusting and obsessing over beauty and riches while trying to m...

The Phoenix - 081

Chapter 081 – Fire and Blood

[296 AC]

The earth trembled and shook under the feet of Phenex and his thirteen, as they saw the Dothraki horde drawing nearer from the distance.

With a smooth motion, Phenex unsheathed Eclipse and Dawn, while the Feathers also readied their weapons, doing so in silence and with focus.

Looking up, Phenex saw Sapphire and Jade dancing impatiently in the sky. Normally he and Rhaella made sure that their aggressive side was somewhat tempered...

The Phoenix - 080

[A/N: So the Dothraki will not be subdued and added to the Red Temple's forces. I have thought about this a lot and as stated last chapter, I simply do not believe that they would be willing to give up their traditions and culture without many revolts and rebellions.

The Dothraki are too primitive and lack interest and knowledge in anything else that didn't belong to their society. They don't build their own cities, they don't record their own history. Every settlement they conquer, the...

The Phoenix - 079

Chapter 079 – Call

[296 AC]

Now that the Dothraki were united it may be easier for them to attack a Free City, but it also made them easier to deal with. Normally they were separated into dozens, often more than a hundred khalasaars of varying sizes, which made it difficult to take care of them.

Now Phenex just had to deal with Drogo and his khalasaar and everything else would follow.

Phenex knew that he could probably use his power to make them submit and make them ...

The Phoenix - 078

[A/N: Surprise chapter for the last day of the weekend!

I have been working solely on The Pheonix for the last couple of days, though I will try and make some progress with The Wanderer in the coming week. Anyway, enjoy the chapter!]

Chapter 078 – Fealty

[295 AC]

Obara had come to Volantis with her sisters, father, and his paramour Ellaria a few days ago, as her father had wanted to visit his sister and have a chance at experiencing the Fire Festival in Vo...

The Phoenix - 077

Chapter 077 – Than

[295 AC]

As if on a timer, Phenex' eyes opened early the next morning. Drawing on his inner fire, his drowsiness vanished a moment later, as his gaze fell onto the young Princess, sleeping peacefully in his arms.

A tender smile settled involuntarily on his face, as he used a push of magic to cleanse both himself and the sleeping beauty from their sweat and any traces of their nightly activities. Arianne let out a quiet moan in her sleep, as his fire also...

The Phoenix - 076

Chapter 076 – Fire Festival

[295 AC]

“Today we remember our victory over those that enslaved us, we remember the blood that had to be shed to free us! And yet that isn't what we celebrate on this day!”, Kinvara's clear voice echoed over the plaza before the Red Temple.

Hundreds of thousands of Volantis' inhabitants had tried to come and watch the ceremony that would signal the start of the Fire Festival, causing the streets to be packed full with a sea of people all ov...

The Phoenix - 075

Chapter 075 – Advisor

[295 AC]

Walking through the streets of Volantis, his true appearance hidden by magic, Phenex stopped in his steps, as he turned halfway, his gaze directed at distant lands.

With a calm smile on his face, he listened in as Melisandre was given a post as an advisor on the small council.

A deeper look revealed that Jon Arryn had eventually been convinced by Varys, Littlefinger, and the youngest Baratheon to accept the offer, while the Grandmaester...

The Pheonix - 074

Chapter 074 – To Whose Benefit

[295 AC]

“T-treachery!”, the Grandmaester was the first to react to the Red Priestess' words, as he sputtered.

Forgetting his initial fear and manner of conduct, he accused harshly: “What kind of poison have you fed the honorable Lord Stannis that he would betray his duties towards the throne and his family, witch?!”

The other members of the small council didn't voice their opinions just yet, waiting for the Red Priestess' answe...

Influence of the Red Temple in the Known World

Hey, folks!

Since there was a request to upload a map to help you better visualize what happened and where it all happened, I took some time and marked the current Red Temple's territory on the map.

Furthermore, every red dot stands for a temple with a High Priest or Priestess overseeing things. There are of course more temples outside of the territroy, but they are mostly smaller in scale and have no high-ranking priest or priestess in charge.

The current territory also may...

The Pheonix - 073

Chapter 073 – Beyond Human Understanding

[295 AC]

Sitting in the small council chamber, the Hand of the King waited patiently for the other members of the small council that were going to attend the meeting to show up.

When all but the master of ships and the master of whisperers had arrived and sat down, the young Lord Paramount of the Stormlands, asked with slight impatience: “Isn't it time that you told us what you have called us here for, Lord Hand? I am sure we all ...

The Phoenix - 072

Chapter 072 – Nature

[295 AC]

Eventually, Varys agreed and swore fealty to him, though Phenex knew the man's loyalties were neither binding nor lasting.

It didn't matter much, however, as the Spider would not be able to draw Phenex or the temple into his schemes, as the only thing that would await him, should he try something like this, was a swift death.

After having the man settled in the city for a few days, Phenex planned to send him back and help him strengthen ...

The Phoenix - 071

Chapter 071 – A Simple Truth

[295 AC]

Taking a deep breath, Varys decided that there was no need to skirt around the truth when talking to the god before him and so he replied: “I came to inquire about Daenerys Targaryen, the rightful heir to the Iron Throne and Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms.”

“The Realm needs a better ruler, the people need a better ruler. I am sure you understand this, considering what you have done for the people of the Blessed Cities and Phoenix Ba...

The Phoenix - 070

[A/N: Very hard chapter to actually write, but I finally made some headway on my plans for the plot. Enjoy!]

Chapter 070 – Illusion

[295 AC]

Walking through the clean streets of the grandest city in all of Essos, Varys was conflicted at heart.

He had come to Volantis as he was simply out of options, his carefully spun plans, that had taken years of preparation, having been destroyed one after another.

After Viserys Targaryen had gotten himself killed...

The Spear Devil - 010

[A/N: Currently working out the plot for The Phoenix, which takes up a lot of my time, as I have to do a lot of research for it. I will probably upload another chapter or two tonight, when I am a bit further along with the plans for the plot.

This chapter is for the wait! Enjoy!]

Chapter 010 – Liam

[April – 2008]

"Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. I was just undecided.", I answered simply, "Though I have made up my mind now. Do you have time right now, or...

The Phoenix - 069

Chapter 069 – Third

[295 AC]

Phenex wasn't surprised by this development as the Faith of the Old Gods was prevalent in the North, adding to the fact that they were rather stubborn and inflexible people. The Lord of Winterfell also didn't really like him, not to speak of his wife Catelyn Tully, who hated Phenex with a fanatic passion.

The current Lord of House Tully, Hoster Tully, was also a very pious and stubborn man, so he didn't allow any temples or shrines to be built ...

Announcement

Hey, you all! Here is a little update on what I am currently working on, i.e. what I plan to work on in the future.

So my main focus is still on The Phoenix as most of you have undoubtedly have noticed, which is mainly because I want to finally finish the story in one go, to free up my for other endeavours.

Still, I neverthelss love that story very much, as Phenex is a great main character and the story has so many areas that can be expanded on: Romance, Action, Kindom Building, e...

The Phoenix - 068

[A/N: Took all day yesterday to figure out the next plot points for this story, thankfully I had a breakthrough with that and managed to establish somewhat of a course for the next dozen chapters or so. Enjoy!]

Chapter 068 – Phoenix Bay

[295 AC]

His fingers brushing through the silvery hair of the former Targaryen Queen, Phenex looked down at her with a faint smile, as she rested peacefully with her head in his lap.

Sounds of a strong breath echoed at his ...

The Wanderer - 057

Chapter 057 – Last Spar

[2009 – July]

The Phoenix was happy. And the reason for its excellent mood was the Mortal God currently embracing and being embraced by her host.

The young being had truly and utterly surpassed all of the Phoenix's expectations. Not only had he managed to free Jean from the bald telepath's control, but he had also given Jean the confidence and opportunity to strive towards her own goals while reigniting her passion for something else than playing ...

The Pheonix - 067

[A/N: One of my most favorite chapters till date, as it shows the pains and sorrows Phenex has to deal with even as a being of unimagineable power. Hope you enjoy it!

PS: There is a big time skip coming up, as canon is just around the corner.]

Chapter 067 – Future Sorrows

[294 AC]

Still, after several moments Missandei eventually noticed that she wasn't alone any longer. As she turned and saw who it was exactly that stood beside her though, she froze in he...

The Phoenix - 066

Chapter 066 – Two Weeks

[294 AC]

Returning Dawn and Eclipse to their sheaths at the left side of his waist after swinging them in a half circle to remove the blood from his blades, Phenex appeared on the Plaza of Punishment.

Most of the battles had finished by now, so he knew it was time to bring something else to Astapor besides death and blood, as the Unsullied and other slaves by his side watched him with eager and passionate eyes.

Fire erupted from his form once ...
