Of course, finding the answer to that one was not merely a question that could be answered by just reading books and seeing what sticked but seeing as I was basically stuck in magical probation until Pomphrey declared me fit to cast, it was the best option I had available. And so I moved from the...
2025-08-01 06:52:50 +0000 UTC View PostI stepped into his space and he spat a wind bullet straight at my head. He’d held it back from that initial barrage, building it up in his throat, sharpening it with more and more shape transformation. It moved so quickly that one second it was leaving his mouth and the next, it was passing thr...
2025-08-01 06:34:30 +0000 UTC View Post“Rhaenys? What are you—“ He stopped as he looked around himself, staring at all of us for a few seconds before he looked down at his own body. He gasped as he tried to wiggle in place.
“Oh” He said, and I could see the realization set in. Corlys was a smart man, and it did not ta...
2025-07-31 15:42:39 +0000 UTC View PostApparating over from Britain was just a matter of crossing the channel. Going from Greece wasn’t all that bad either. I just needed to visit a few places in this world so I had more than a few apparition points to pick from. Beyond that, there was nothing that would present much of a barrier to...

Even the wind release enhanced shuriken were not able to pierce it. I stepped closer again. This time, he moved in for the attack, start...

Mother and Laena were fighting. I’d seen it coming, but not for the first time this week, I felt lost as to what to do about the situation. I’d taken charge of the search for Seaspeaker, and to my annoyance, we were yet to find the man himself. Even worse, we were yet to get a consi...
2025-07-31 05:43:46 +0000 UTC View PostI scouted the perimeter with byakugan and looked into the house. Danzo was sat at his desk, doing some sort of writing while two of his clansmen spoke to him. I had two options. Go in now and take him regardless or wait for them to finish. Even with how angry I was, I knew that there were some th...
2025-07-31 05:25:11 +0000 UTC View PostI unrolled the scroll after breaking the seal. “So how’d ya do?” Sirius was already asking before I’d even finished looking through the result. One, two. That had to be some sort of record, wasn’t it? I passed the scroll to him while I reflected on the results.

2025-07-31 05:08:54 +0000 UTC View PostIt took a whole day for me to remember that my ICW AWLS results had been scheduled for release the ay after the Third task.

2025-07-30 20:38:30 +0000 UTC View PostLaena had been serious about not seeing Father in this state. Even now, she was out flying with Vhagar while I sat with Mother and the Easter watching him sleep soundly. “So there’s nothing you can do? Nothing at all?” This was not the first time Mother was asking this question.
“M...

2025-07-30 12:31:09 +0000 UTC View PostWe had underestimated the pirates, and we had done so to our massive loss. For one, they'd burned the shipyard, seemingly having decided that if they could not have it, then neither could we. That loss would have been large enough, even if one did not consider the loss of life. Vaemond had taken ...
2025-07-30 12:30:01 +0000 UTC View Post"A week?" I asked, gobsmacked. That was—it should have been impossible. I knew more about magical medicine than most, and there was a bit of an unofficial rule: three days. Any wound or malady that could not be healed in three days would never be healed at all. So how had I been unconscious for...

“I concur. If it were possible to transmit genes like that after a subject’s death then the Hyuga clan would be aware and would guard against it beyond just sealing the eyes away. Besides, if we had this kind of thing, we would already ...

I stood at the edge of the harbour. Vhagar had been spotted miles away, and sometime later, so had Meleys. It wa snot like Vhagar was ahead, but the dragon’s larger size made her visible from long distances. Igneel lay sprawled behind me, lounging in the sun. I had never known how muc...
