"THUD!" the moment the glass landed I started Vulcan off strong with a double leer to drop Gaia's defense dramatically. She grit her teeth as this forced her to stop her rock polish and go for an iron defense instead. "Get close , stomp!" I commanded capitalizing on the short time frame between Gaia switching moves. Vulcan dashed forward immediately with full trust in my ability to command it c...
2023-09-14 15:37:15 +0000 UTC View PostOnce again the illusion of the greatest embodiment of wind came to them in the form of a mighty hurricane held in Nick's hand. Unlike previously there was a change in the large constantly shifting ring when he imbued this part of the enchantment into it. The ring began to violently change shape into each of the elements in a manner that made both Helena and Flitwick nervous. Nick was calm howev...
2023-09-14 15:28:21 +0000 UTC View PostHelena turned incorporeal to escape from the intense heat while Flitwick started to sweat heavily but refused to tear his eyes away from the spectacle before him. Nick raised his hammer and for the briefest moment both Flitwick and Helena had the illusion that the sun itself had manifested on the head of it before Nick struck the ever changing ring. In an instant the scorching heat vanished as ...
2023-09-14 15:26:10 +0000 UTC View PostNot only had all three of the non attacking moves jumped up to journeyman but Vulcans level had also gone up by five and had even gained a few points in it's special defense. The stat points were probably from the first spar Vulcan had with Gaia but none the less it's growth with so little time was staggering. I didn't mention any of that though to Vulcan as it already had an arrogant personali...
2023-09-13 16:03:07 +0000 UTC View PostWith this information Nick intended to create his first mythical item but he didn't want to half ass it and get a barely good enough product. With that in mind he knew exactly what his first mythical ring was going to be since it had been bothering him for quite some time now. He was going to create a far better version of Greed that was all around improved. It wouldn't even be all that hard to...
2023-09-13 15:54:55 +0000 UTC View PostNick did not know that the secret of Grindelwalds plan had basically been revealed to everyone who needed to know at this point but he would be happy if he did. In fact he would be thrilled at that fact since it would explain why Arthur Weasley had all allegations against him dropped at the ministry. Nick assumed that it may have been due to the good will the Weasley family earned because of th...
2023-09-13 15:53:02 +0000 UTC View PostGaia snorted at that but left the matter alone as she got up and stretched causing her carapace the pop and crackle. She walked over to the frankly huge boulder that now covered the entrance of the entrance and with Vulcans help pushed it aside. We left the cave after that and made our way over to the training area ignoring the rain falling from the sky. I had a new appreciation for the rain af...

I had hoped that over time Nick would slowly mellow out and not cause so many problems but that simply hadn't happened. Not exactly how I had hoped anyways as he did indeed become less reserved and now spent a great deal of time amongst those he calls friends but he was arrogant in how he seemed to view the world now. The sort of prideful and vengeful attitude I would exp...
2023-09-12 16:27:00 +0000 UTC View PostOnce he gets past that point though Ron was basically already set to make wands on his own. "So how confident are you in winning against Slytherin with their whole team outfitted with new brooms?" Nick asked Harry casually. "My nimbus is only slightly worse that the new model they have so I can keep up with Malfoy but the rest of the team is a problem. I'll be rough on them to be honest." Harry...
2023-09-12 16:24:59 +0000 UTC View PostPseudo legendries were a little different however as each recorded tribe or group of the things were kept fairly well hidden from the public to prevent rank amateur's from getting themselves killed trying to catch a member of the species. In a not so surprising reveal I learned that while it was possible to do as I did and acquire a pseudo without dealing with the older and usually fully evolve...
2023-09-11 16:47:38 +0000 UTC View PostNick spent the next few days dealing with the bureaucratic nightmare that was registering a new species , verifying his familiar status with Nazgul , having interviews with several over eager magi zoology papers , receiving hundreds of letters requesting the privilege to study Nazgul from various different wizards globally and then all his schoolwork as well. Needless to say he was mentally exh...

"The law says it's illegal to do it on purpose whereas she was about as accidental as it gets. That reminds me for whatever reason but don't make her mad or she might eat your soul." Nick said casually while all of his friends stiffened. "Why am I not surprised that a creature you made , accidental o...
2023-09-11 16:32:36 +0000 UTC View PostI immediately grabbed the pokenav out of my bag and looked it over carefully. It was a bit bulky but for the most part was about the same shape as an old flip phone. It was sand yellow with a single blue button in the middle of it that released the latch opening the device and a camera lens at the bottom. Once open the entire top part of the device was a screen while the bottom half was a direc...
2023-09-10 17:01:21 +0000 UTC View Post"You can both relax , she isn't likely to harm either of you." Nick said both to Dumbledore and Fawkes. The headmaster chose to trust Nick on this and relaxed visibly while the phoenix looked much less like it believed him though it did calm down considerably. Lord of birds or not he was holding what may as well be the grim reaper in his arms so caution was well warranted. Nick took a seat acro...

That was where the avian features ended however as it had a long serpentine tail at the end of it's body covered in feathers but ending in a familiar circular metallic ring. It also had a short neck that ended in a basilisk like hea...
2023-09-10 16:43:39 +0000 UTC View PostI gave Gaia an oran berry to speed up her recovery a little while the elder Entei walked over the the knocked out youngster and began looking it over. After it was satisfied with it's inspection it held a paw over the unconscious Entei and began to glow red as it used it's aura to slowly heal it. I watched this process like a hawk in hopes of getting any hint at how to do the same thing myself....
2023-09-09 16:07:32 +0000 UTC View PostFinally the projection fully vanished as the ring devoured the final hints of the founders soul causing the portrait to turn to dust. Behind that portrait was another room that not only contained the staff but also a miniature library of clearly hand written books. Checking a handful of them Nick's eyes lit up as he found that they were all written by Slytherin himself to record his entire set ...
2023-09-09 15:55:44 +0000 UTC View Post"Now all that's left is to deal with you sir portrait or should I say Salazar Slytherin?" Nick said mockingly and the portrait took on a cold arrogant expression. "How did you figure me out?" the founder asked calmly but with a slight menacing chill. "I told you already didn't I? I am more knowledgeable about souls then you ever were. That ritual of Herpo the foul's leaves a permanent taint on ...
2023-09-09 15:52:34 +0000 UTC View PostUnlike when Gaia was pushing the boulder to our cave there was absolutely no pokemon stupid or ignorant enough to stick around once we passed by. Not that I blamed them considering the two legendries following behind Gaia and I. "No matter what happens make sure you keep sandstorm up and keep your distance as best you can." I coached Gaia as we walked and she listened seriously. The two Entei c...
2023-09-08 15:51:24 +0000 UTC View PostNick himself wouldn't have known about it had it not been for him seeing it in the system shop at a staggering eight million points per drop. Looking at the vial of the stuff in his hand Nick estimated there to be at least ten drops worth of the stuff in it. "This alone makes the trip worth it for me but the rest of this stuff is just an added bonus." Nick said with a smile while the portrait w...
2023-09-08 15:38:10 +0000 UTC View Post"Why would he create horcruxes? Surely not to extend his lifespan since he should only be about sixty or seventy at the moment." The portrait said with a frown. "I can answer that question actually , his greatest fear is death. The idea that no matter how powerful he gets all it takes is a single mistake for all of his effort to be rendered void terrifies him. So he split his soul into at the m...
2023-09-08 15:35:06 +0000 UTC View PostMetal claw on the other hand was a move her species simply wasn't supposed to be able to learn at all as far as I remember. The way she learnt it was by focusing the steel type energy from iron defense on her claw alone and striking out at a boulder. It took her an entire week to suddenly have the move itself pop up in her status screen after she first started successfully focusing the steel ty...
2023-09-07 14:39:35 +0000 UTC View PostNick gripped the handle and pulled but nothing happened so he instead tried to twist it left or right and that did something. "PIIIISSSSSHHHH!" The sound of pressurized air getting released came out and Nick retreated cautiously. "CLICK!" a loud click echoed through the room before a small hatch popped up out of the ground with the handle on it's top. Nick carefully pulled the hatch open and wa...
2023-09-07 14:28:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe Nazgul ring kept back the huge amount of energy from the basilisk's soul but injected the green energy into Nick by itself the moment he touched it. He stiffened while preparing to reject the energy or deal with extreme pain but it sank into his soul seamlessly. Nothing happened at all and it confused Nick greatly. Channeling his spiritual energy he saw that his soul was completely the same...

Salty , savory , sour , and sweet all at the same time with the copious amounts of oil making the flavors stick to my tongue. I downed the entire amount of food without any hesitation including the oil itself. Thanks to my physique I was totally fine eating so much grease...
2023-09-06 16:13:10 +0000 UTC View Post"Tap Tap Tap" Nicks footsteps echoed throughout the chamber as he walked along the path towards the statue at it's end. Once he reached the edge of the pool of water he tapped his wand on it's surface lightly. Immediately the water began to transform into ice as he transfigured a huge volume of water all at once draining a decent chunk of his mana in the process. Large scale transfigurations li...
2023-09-06 16:01:47 +0000 UTC View PostMyrtles bathroom was rather primitive all things considered as the toilets and sinks were very primitive in functionality. The sinks were obviously an original part of the castle since they were basically magical water basins like those in his own manor on Ravenclaw island. The toilets however were definitely added on latter since the founders time didn't have them. Nick wasn't here for an arch...
2023-09-06 16:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostGaia moved the boulder to the side of the cave's entrance to let me in before moving it back in place. I purposefully picked this boulder in order to have enough room left for the smoke to still flow out of the cave freely while letting new air in. This was accomplished due to the round shape of the boulder and rectangular shape of the cave entrance that had large holes at each of it's corner w...

What he had to do instead was use the information from those potions to figure out how to create a potion with the effect you saw previously. Compared to actually making a totally new potion this is many times easier to do." he explained honestly. "It's still really impressive either w...
