The Phoenix - 013

Chapter 013 – Sapphire and Jade

[287 AC]

After they had left, Phenex spread open his bag on the ground, making the objects within visible: two dragon eggs that had turned to stone.

These were the eggs from the Citadel, and they were coloured blue and white.

Phenex could sense that the life in these eggs had long since died already, but that was hardly an obstacle for him, a mythical creature with power over Life and Rebirth.

Taking up the blue egg, Phenex proce...

Chapter 012 – Thoros, Melisandre

[287 AC]

As Phenex comtemplated what he remembered about the two, he watched Kinvara's beautiful backside apporach the large door and infuse them with a bit of magic, which prompted them to open up on their own, while she waved the priestess and the priest into the the Heart-chamber.

The doors closed as soon as the three went into the chamber and Kinvara cut of her supply of magic power.

The look on Melisandre's and Thoro's face said ...

The Phoenix - 011

Chapter 011 – Volantis

[287 AC]

Volantis wasn't the only place, that Phenex had kept his attention on, even though it had undergone probably the most significant developments.

He had also spent a lot of time sneaking into the Citadel in Oldtown, reading about the things that interested him and searching through the whole place.

He had managed to not only locate the two dragon eggs, but also several kilograms of Valyrian steel in the form of chain links and masks. Tho...

Chapter 010 – Changes

[287 AC]

The next morning Phenex stood at the cliff near their house, ready to depart on his journey.

He wore a completely black outfit made out of high-quality silk, with a woolen, hooded cloak. Dawn was in its sheath, strapped to his back next to the Black Sister, as a bag was also slung over his back.

As he stood there, Phenex contemplated the biggest events that had taken place in the last few years.

Two years prior, as Kinvara had alr...

Announcement

And with that, the first Volume of The Wanderer is finished!

Introductions and framework are now mostly done, so from here on out, the pace of the story will pick up a bit, while the timeline and threats Elijah has to face will slowly introduced.

I have fortunately finished on deciding what to include in the story and what not, which was something that has troubled me very much for the last few days. And after hours of research into the comic book versions plot, I came to the conc...

The Wanderer – 050

Chapter 050 – Patience

[2009 – June]

A short message to the Professor confirmed that he was in his office and had time for us, so I didn't hesitate as I lead the way to meet him.

Clarice had gone back for the moment, while Emma followed behind myself and Jean, causing quite the surprise in some of the students we passed.

Knocking at the door of Xavier's office, we entered after hearing Charles calling us in.

"Jean, Elijah, what can I d- … Emma? I didn't exp...

The Phoenix - 009

Chapter 009 – Dawn

[287 AC]

Infusing the blade with his own magic, Phenex rekindled its light. Or more precisely, the whole blade seemed to just suck up his magic as if starving, while emitting a brighter and brighter glow.

He knew that this happened because magic for the most part has long since died out in Westeros, so the last wielders of Dawn hadn't been able to supply the ancient sword with any magical sustenance at all.

It had therefore only ever been drained o...

The Wanderer – 049

Chapter 049 – Restraint

[2009 – June]

"Thank you.", her younger brother said with a serious and grateful look in his eyes.

"You don't have to thank me. I told you last time that you are a Frost and that makes you my family.", Emma replied. And she meant it.

She knew herself very well, and she was sure to try and squeeze the most benefits out of every situation, and probably even this one. Drawing two Omega-level mutants to her side was an incredible achievement, co...

Announcement

SPOILER AHEAD: Please first read Chapter 48 of my X-Men Crossover, before reading this announcement!

So, I decided that they will go to the Massachusetts Academy for some time, as it seemed like the best choice for now.

The reasons for that are several with Jean needing to learn a lot from Emma, thing that Charles obviously wouldn't teach her, along with having access to the Hellfire intelligence. The intelligence will be useful in figuring out the overall situation and...

The Wanderer – 048

[A/N: So I rewrote this scene a few times, before I was okay with how it turned out. Hope you like it!]

Chapter 048 – Blink

[2009 – June]

Cooking breakfast was an enjoyable task as always, especially so with Jean being especially affectionate and hardly leaving my side.

I knew she was still rattled after last night's revelation, which made her a bit more clingy, but I didn't mind at all. I loved her and knew that right now she needed someone to rely on, ...

The Wanderer – 047

[A/N: This chapter is kind of a filler, but I like it anyway, so I didn't change it. I will upload another one later today, where some important development takes place - keyword: relocation. I hope you enjoy this anyway and stay tuned for the next chapter!]

Chapter 047 – Morning

[2009 – June]

Waking up only two hours later, the clock showed the time to be around 8.20 am, as I looked down and saw Jean still curled up by my side, her hands pressed against my ch...

The Phoenix - 008

Chapter 008 – Test

[287 AC]

Inside the Starfall castle at the training grounds, five veteran soldiers in full armor could be seen. They all wore the sigil of House Dayne and their primary weapon was a wooden longsword.

They stood in a circle around a young boy with his eyes closed, who looked to be twelve years of age. The boy only wore thin clothes and was also armed with a wooden longsword.

The sun shone down cruelly on all six combatants, making the soldiers sweat...

The Phoenix - 007

Chapter 007 – Kinvara

[282 AC]

“Do you know why I came here...?“

The phoenix asked her, but Kinvara's mind was still struggling with what she had managed to see and she wasn't in the right state to answer, so Phenex simply continued.

“This heart that you pray to, the heart you think belongs to a god, it is nothing more than an artifact created with magic. It has attracted me here, because it was made with the ashes left behind by one of my rebirths, a few thous...

The Phoenix - 006

Chapter 006 – Temple and Heart

[282 AC]

Some time later Phenex could already see the Titan of Braavos in the distance.

There were of course a few locations he wanted to visit in Braavos, like the House of Black and White, or the Iron Bank. Maybe even fight some duels at nigthfall as was the custom in Braavos.

Still, he didn't have time for that today, as he had another more important task to finish to the South East. So Phenex turned around and started to fly down th...

The Wanderer – 046

Chapter 046 – Home

[2009 – June]

It tore at my heart to see her this hurt and I would have liked to breach the subject of Charles' manipulations more gradually, but those options went out of the window when the Professor asked me to stop protecting Jean's mind.

Placing my hand on her tear-stained cheek, I gently wiped away the wetness with my thumb, holding her tightly as she sat sideways on my lap, her head resting on my shoulder.

“What now?”, Jean whispered q...

The Phoenix - 005

Chapter 005 – Resolution

[282AC]

Indeed, Phenex had noticed the ravens and crows circling the castle keeping their eyes on him occassionally while growing up these last two years. He could feel the same presence from them, as he could feel from the Three-Eyed-Raven now.

“Lord, I-I simpl- … “, the Three-Eyed-Raven stammered, trying to find an excuse that would explain why he had spied on a creature so powerful, it could turn all life on this continent to ashes in a me...

The Phoenix - 004

Chapter 004 – Meeting

[282AC]

A few minutes of Leaf leading Phenex through damp tunnels and caves, they finally reached the cave where Phenex could sense the Three-Eyed-Raven residing in.

On their way here no Child had dared to look at him, keeping their faces down and kneeling or prostrating themselves as he passed by them.

Luckily the strangeness of this behaviour was somewhat lifted by the memories of his father, who had been hailed as a God and worshipped by an u...

Announcement - Poll

Finally, another poll!

So I have started to upload one of my old stories, a GOT FF, and I am currently contemplating on finishing it, as it shouldn't take more than a month.

I am pretty sure that it will be a multi-pairing for that story, though I have no idea who to pair him up with at the moment, so I invite you to vote for your favorite candidate.

Personally, I really love Daenerys and will probably pair her up with the MC, though even that isn't yet written in stone.

The Phoenix - 003

Chapter 003 – Flight

[282AC]

Early the next morning Phenex was already standing at the edge of the cliff, near their little abode. His mother kneeled before him, straigthening his clothes and fixing his hair, radiating worry and anxiousness at his impending departure.

“Are you sure, you don't want me to prepare some food and water for you? Maybe a thick coat and a few daggers as well? Let me just gra-“

“Mother. I am a phoenix, you don't have to worry about my w...

The Phoenix - 002

Chapter 002 – Birth, Two Years

[280AC]

“One more time, Mylady! One last push and you can finally see your child!“, the midwife encouraged, as one last scream of pain and exhaustion rocked through the form of Allyria Dayne.

“It is done, Mylady! Your child, your son is born!“, the midwife, reassured the almost delirious young mother, as she gave the infant in her arms a light slap on his bottom, which promptly caused the child to cry out in surprise and pain.

The Phoenix - 001

[A/N: Not my best prologue, but it is what it is. Enjoy!]

Chapter 001 – Prologue - A Phoenix

If there was one thing that was special about me, then that would probably the clarity with which I could see myself. I knew that from my point of view my life seemed extraordinary, difficult and/or exciting, but in truth it was just an average life. Not much different than that of the rest of humanity.

We live, we suffer and we die. That's it. It didn't really matter in...

Announcement

I am currently writing on the scene where the transition between the first part of the story and the rest takes place, meaning there will be some timeskips and action coming soon.

It's also time for Jean to know more about her own power, so that little revelation is also coming your way, while Elijah's and Emma's relationship also advances a bit, as they start to trust each other and share secrets with one another.

Still, I took some time off and re-read a old Game of T...

The Wanderer – 045

Chapter 045 – Truth

[2009 – June]

Carrying Jean to the bathroom with my shaft still being enveloped by her tight folds, had us both giving off low moans and sighs of pleasure. Once there I set her down on the sink and found her lips for a slow affectionate kiss.

Slowly pulling my shaft from her insides, one of my hands brushed over her thighs and the other was wrapped around her waist.

Breaking the kiss, I looked into her darkened eyes, clouded with a smoldering de...

The Wanderer – 044

Chapter 044 – Dinner

[2009 – June]

On my way back to my room, I realized that in only a few short days the mansion had turned into a very dangerous place to be in.

I knew that Charles was generally a 'good guy' but that didn't mean he wouldn't do terrible things to achieve what he had set out to do.

I remembered many scenes from the comics, where he f*cked with the minds of his X-Men and many other people to hide or rearrange facts to his advantage just because he ...

The Wanderer – 043

Chapter 043 – Wrath and Patience

[2009 – June]

It was 17:30 o'clock when I stopped my training, my clothes practically sweat-soaked.

Jean had left roughly three hours ago to take care of some chores.

After a quick shower and a change of clothes, I was on my way back to my apartment when I received a message from the Professor, asking me for a meeting right now.

Frowning slightly, I changed direction and made my way towards his office, ignoring the curious sta...

The Wanderer – 042

Chapter 042 – Be Yourself

[2009 – June]

Jealousy sat deep in Rogue's heart when she looked at Jean standing opposite to her, in between a pissed-off Ellie and a frighteningly calm Yukio.

Even though Jean was her teammate and friend, she couldn't help herself after hearing about her and the new guy being an item after only a day.

Her own inability to have physical contact was partly responsible for that as she was constantly envious of other people's light-hearted s...

The Wanderer – 041

[A/N: An additional chapter for the day. As always it's an exception, as I upload as much as I can already. Also, I liked this chapter very much, as Jean is a bit fierce here, while still being the gentle soul, Elijah fell in love with. Enjoy!]

Chapter 041 – Cowardice

[2009 – June]

"Elijah and Jean make such a cute couple, don't you think Ellie? Let's invite them to eat dinner in the hall together.", Yukio mused as she walked with Ellie through the corridors o...

The Wanderer – 040

[A/N: Big changes ahead! Enjoy!]

Chapter 040 – Devious

[2009 – June]

Opening the Professor's office door after knocking and being called in, Jean saw him sitting behind his office desk in his wheelchair.

“You wanted to see me, Professor?”, Jean asked.

“Ah, Jean, come in please.”, Charles greeted.

Doing as he asked, she closed the door behind her, before sitting down on the right one of the two chairs standing before his desk.

"I...

Short Story – The Eternal One

[A/N: Thought about this on my way back home a few days ago, but didn't write it down at that time. Correcting that mistake now, I finally wrote it. It's rather short, but I hope you enjoy it all the same!]

Short Story – The Eternal One

A man stood at the station, waiting for his train to arrive, to take him home after a long day of work.

He didn't have a particularly interesting job, being just a small accountant in a big office full of them. His life was gener...

Announcement

So the last few days were hard on me, after writing nearly fifty chapters in less than three weeks.

My mind was, and still is a bit, lethargic from all that. Such high intensity writing really takes a toll on you, but I am already much better after a few days of rest and less writing.

The nice thing is, that it is these periods that take a toll on you, that also teach you the most.

You can indead focus too much, is what I have learned. So much so, that you lose yourself in t...
