“The Wind King?” Lukas echoed, “I reckon that’s more than just another fancy title made by Asukan pillocks to hide their insecurities?”
Tanya snorted. “Only an Outsider could say this. Being a King is the highest mantle one can attain in the Asukan Empire.”
A look of confusion spread on his face, as he sat down next to her. Their shoulders touched.. “Hang on, I...

Tanya had a sudden sinking feeling.
“.... Me?” she croaked, feeling her fingers go numb. “Your goddess thought that I — that I…” she tried to put her growing apprehension and disbelief into words but failed dismally. “She said that I—”
“Had the power that could kill a god?” Lukas offered. “Yes, she described your Frost as something… something truly ancient,...

Six years ago…
Zuken Banksi resisted the urge to shudder as he stared into the cold, hard eyes of his guest. There was not a speck of emotion in those gray orbs, no love, no hate, nothing. For a man who prided himself in reading faces, it was quite a disconcerting thing indeed. And that was without even considering who the man was.
“What ca...

The battle turned when Lukas Aguilar bore the brunt of the enemy’s combined attacks and shrugged it off with a snap of his fingers. It turned into a slaughter when he started chopping through muspels one after another, with his impossibly hard war-axe with the air of a man sweeping sweat off his brow. It became wholesale butchery when Frost-Queen Tanya began throwing out vacuum bomb explosion...

Dangerous.
That was the only word fluttering through Lukas’s mind, as he tried to keep his knees from hitting the floor. Terraporting had saved him from a gory death, but it was still an option on the table. He wasn’t foolish enough to consider himself safe, especially because he couldn’t leave the battlefield. Not yet.
And now they know I can terraport.<...

Tanya was running late. As always, she had splurged a bit at the spa, and was just about to leave for the svartalfar mission. Lukas was probably hanging around the bridge. It seemed like the only place he liked to frequent. But Zuken had suddenly asked her to pay a quick visit before she left, which felt a little strange since the man had hardly spoken a word to her ever since the meeting w...

To say that they were mismatched would be a hilarious understatement.
On one side were two spiritists. Of these two, Lukas was the only one that could match these muspels in a one-on-one battle, and someone had to ensure the svartalfars weren’t attacked from behind. Tanya’s skills at close combat weren’t particularly useful here, and she was better suited to middle-ranged aerial bom...

Everything was changing.
Harry knew in his heart that Hogwarts would be different this year. After everything that had transpired during the eventful summer, he’d be stupid to think it’d be the same. That Hagrid was absent, replaced by Professor Grubbly-Plank only reinforced the idea. At least Ron and Hermione had gotten away with walking out with him, Ginny, Neville and Luna, leaving...

We have been working on Book 2, editing and perfecting it, now that we have finished more than 2 Acts of the book. We will start updating in about a week, and get started with Eight updates a month (every Tuesday and Saturday to be exact). We know it’s bothersome to not have consistent updates but we are working to make it an altogether better read, much like we did for Book ...

After sitting with Daphne for a couple of hours, Harry had excused himself to go find his friends. After all the drama the compartment had witnessed, neither Daphne nor the others had anything to say to that. Besides, Parkinson’s expression kept reminding him of a mandrake’s butt the entire time. No doubt because of her plan to damage his relationship with Daphne diffusing like that. As tim...

“She’s not wrong,” Harry said, his eyes never leaving Daphne’s frozen orbs of blue. “I am seeing Fleur Delacour.”
Daphne went still. Like a mannequin. She gripped the window grill with one arm firmly, straightening her posture, and stopped moving entirely. It was like watching a creature in the wild, getting ready to flee or fight, or escalate, or any of a dozen diffe...

Harry watched as Ron and Hermione left for the Prefect carriages. It still pissed a part of him that he was being passed over for the Prefect position. Part of him wanted to yell at the unfairness of it all, but deep down, he knew he didn’t deserve the position, either. Apart from catching the snitch in Quidditch matches and getting into trouble, he had barely applied himself to studies. Alth...

“I just don’t get it,” Pansy Parkinson said rather sourly. “You of all people muddying yourself by fraternising with the likes of Potter. Seriously Daphne, did you check for love potions?”
Daphne rolled her eyes, choosing to stare out of the Hogwarts Express that was currently halted at the Platform Nine and three-quarters of Kings Cross station. The entire platform was overflow...

Cornelius Fudge entered his office and deposited his bowler hat and overcoat on the hatstand before taking his seat. Then he pulled open a drawer and removed a bottle of firewhiskey from which he took a quick shot to fortify his nerves. One could hardly go through meeting after meeting with high-profile individuals each day without some liquid courage. Though ever since the trial, he had taken ...

The night was very cold for August. The Wizarding Wireless had mentioned an anomalous change in weather patterns, so it wasn’t unexpected. If this continued, then in a few weeks it’d get cold enough that the drunks of Knockturn Alley would start freezing to death. Someone would see a body, and eventually call the Aurors, who’d show up and fill out a complaint that the body had been ...

“The first time we met at Gringotts,” Fleur began simply, “it was a nightmare. I was just getting used to my new life. Between the grilling job hours, a merciless taskmaster, living all by myself in a muggle house, and surviving my nightmares, I was managing to keep myself on my feet. I wasn’t exactly Little Miss Stability, but I was surviving. And then, Overseer Griphook threw me your ...

“You might not believe it, but for the longest time, I never realised I was beautiful.”
Harry was seated at the kitchen table, with a teapot going. Fleur had an electric toaster, even though it was an old one, so he made them some toast and layered it with jam and strawberry. He hadn’t quite gotten around to eating last night, not after the eye-opening discussion with Sirius, and Fl...

Fleur sat wrapped in a blanket on her sofa, staring at the crackling flames, trying not to break down and cry like a child. She took a deep breath, trying for what she was sure was the fiftieth time to calm herself down. She was sure that if she had at least an idea of what was going to happen next, she might feel a little better, even if it was something horrible.
The last week had been ...

Fleur Delacour suppressed a sigh as she sorted through the papers. As expected, Overseer Griphook had several dozen papers for her to sort out, explain things in excruciating detail to an increasingly bored Harry Potter, and then have him sign them using one of their patented Blood Quills. Really, why was she pushing papers around when the only thing she wanted was to jump Harry’s bones on th...

The party was in full swing.
After his stirring (clumsy, in Harry’s opinion) speech, Sirius and Andi had led the guests to the food tables. It was brilliant in one respect, and utterly awkward in another. Sirius had taken the top of the table on one end, with Andi and Nymphadora on either side. Harry had been shafted to the other end of the long table, diametrically opposite him, with F...

The sudden intrusion from Ron cut through his thoughts like one of the new knives Kreacher had gotten for the kitchen.
Harry met his oldest friend’s eyes, idly noticing that the lanky redhead had gained several inches, again, he might add, crossing six feet. Most of the freckles on his face had vanished, replaced by a slight sharpening of the features, which only served to acce...

Harry’s euphoria at getting the Thunderbolt V quickly died down as his godfather ran him down with the list of things he had to keep in mind for the day. The party was going to officially start at noon, and per the invitation, attire was ‘semi-formal’. Knowing wizards, that could mean anything, given how insulated they were from muggle fashion. Harry had directly gone to bed after getting...

He was back amidst the ice.
Despite having been here before, the transition felt just as shocking as the first time. Bitter, arctic wind slapped against his face with an alien prejudice, as if him being there was an affront to the being that rested within. Hateful stalagmites rose like empty coffins, each as thick as he was tall, while several feet of ice paved the floor. The...
