I blocked the attack, gritting my teeth as I felt my arm and shoulder shake from the force of his blow. Ser Manfred was terrible when it came to holding back. I moved my own sword into position but my return blow was too slow and he was slapping my blade away with a flick of his wrist ...

“Welcome to Storm’s End” Boremund Baratheon greeted me with those words as I was led into the throne room where storm kings had ruled from for generations. High Tide was a beautiful castle in its own right, a masterpiece of marble and glass, but there was something it just lacked ...

This time, with a smile on her face to match mine, she mirrored my movements, coming for me just as I came for her.
She struck first or at least tired to, a sweeping kick that hit nothing but air as I jumped straight over it, and as I fell, I dropped two kunai aimed right at her. She defle...

I did, jumping to the left as a bolt of screaming lightning shot across the area where I’d just been standing. A second later, I belt Uzume’s chakra bleed into the mist and it was only my familiarity with her bag of tricks that had me blowing out a gust of hurricane force winds as I spun in a...

I looked over at Corlys behind her shoulder and he just winked in my direction. Yeah, he’d definitely be sending more even if I squandered this bit. Good news, because I hd no doubts that my experiments would end up being quite expensive.

“Have everything?” She asked, while making sure that I was tight against the saddle. Generally, I preferred to ride without chains, but Rhaenys had vetoed that in seconds citing the storms that plagued the region I was going to be visiting.

The shuriken that had been tossed in the air to symbolize the fight beginning landed on the forest ground with a solid chunk and then we were off. With everyone else, I fought passively, weathering attacks and waiting to ee what they could do. With Uzume, doing that would be so suicide as it woul...

On today’s episode of women being near impossible to understand, we have the pre-teen Laena Velaryon, I wrote in my journal as I looked at her over the dinner table. Mother would ask me to put it away once the old arrived, so I quickly went back to writing my thoughts down as I thought them. La...

I started the fight in sage mode. There would be no holding back on my end. Not with the Daimyo himself, surrounded by six of his guardians to prevent any runaway attacks, here in the audience to witness the match. The conversation yesterday had been less than effective, with the both of us essen...

I shattered multiple blocks of granite with powerful curses. Confringo, confringo, confringo, I mentally incanted over and over again, trying to empty my mind of the fury that filled it. With a roar, a blast of blue flames left my wand, scarring the floor and heating a block of stone so thoroughl...

“Continuous blast” I said, and watched as Igneel obeyed perfectly, sending a stream of red flames straight at the boulder we were practicing with. I timed it mentally, counting up the seconds as I marveled at his growth. Years ago, he would have struggled to get to five. Now, he ...

The sand smothered the fire but Voldemort was not done. He fired a killing curse at Dumbledore when the man should not have been playing attention, but the old man willed the sand to his defence and it blocked the killing curse, stopping it in its tracks by smothering it just the way it had smoth...

“Okay then. I’ll be ready” I said with a smile. A good fight might just be what the doctor ordered. It meant all of tomorrow morning would be gone in terms of productive time but from what Uraume was saying, then it was going to reap enough dividends to be worth it.

“You couldn’t give a guy a warning?” I asked, turning to Igneel instead of my mother. He whimpered while Meleys growled in his direction.
“That’s enough of that. He’s in trouble as well as you are” Mother said, looking the Queen that she never got to be. At least she did for ...

But if time was on Dumbledore’s side, then chaos was on Voldemort’s. He was like a boulder tossed into the ocean. He looked at every factor arrayed against him and then laughed in their faces. With a vicious slash of his wand, fiendfyre bloomed into being. Now, I had controlled flames before....

This body needed to be in the sky. It needed to feel the wind against its skin. The itch of being confined half one from irritating to unbreakable in no time at all, and now I was going to finally do something about it.

“Did you see that?” I asked Uraume now that we had retreated to my office. “That girl, she has no understanding of time and place. To challenge me like that in front of all the Jonin. What the hell was she thinking?” I ranted, feeling frustration take over. I honestly had way to...

“You don’t worry me like that ever again” She whispered in his hair as she held him close— not even dully cognizant of how she had covered the space between them— breathing in his scent. He smelled like dragon dung and charcoal but most importantly, he smiled alive.

Just what I wanted, as far as I was concerned. Because when we won this, there would be no doubt who the biggest, baddest, scariest kid on the block was, and then we’d see how they reacted and act accordingly— te silk glove or the iron fist. It would all be up to them.

On one side, Dumbledore. Behind him lay a crowd of the sick, the injured, the dead, and dying. It was the quintessential knight in shining armour situation where he stood before the downtrodden, trying to protect them from the big bad wold. The big bad wolf in this case was Voldemort. And he stoo...
