“Okay, so I get how you made then philosopher’s stone, but what does that have to do with me? Or even Russo?”
“We intend to make another here” Nicholas said, and I froze, becoming ramrod straight. My wand fell into my fingers. They had killed thousands of muggles for the first one. While I didn’t judge because they were muggles and had it coming for what they’d done, this wa...

He sensed the build up of Shori’s chakra before the jutsu was fired, and that might have been the only thing that save his life. From being teammates with the Senju scion from a young age, he knew there was one language Shorirama Senju spoke better than any other.. it was violence and escalation. So when he felt the build up and calculated that they would be in the path o...
2025-09-19 04:47:23 +0000 UTC View PostI went for his head. Seeking to scramble’s brains and end the fight there. He twisted his head to the side, leg racing to catch me in the chest. I backpedalled, giving space to allow myself come at him again. When his foot hit the ground, however, the ground beneath him exploded, two creatures made of black lightning shooting at me. Staring at the chakra that made them up, I knew I would not ...
2025-09-18 12:58:06 +0000 UTC View Post“Brother” he turned to the side, watching his younger brother walk up to him.
“They are acquitting themselves adequately at the very least” He spoke of the battle at the front of the fleet. The fleet’s tip was in battle with what was obviously a fringe element of the wider Velaryon fleet, and they were struggling to win. That was harsh, he admonished himself. It was not so much ...

Left in the dead of the night. Not left a single trace of ourselves for those creatures— for they lowered themselves beneath beasts in the end.” He took another long breath. Like he was preparing himself for what came next.
“And then one day while I w...
2025-09-18 09:56:21 +0000 UTC View PostMy new transformation had not come without cost, I realised. My chakra, normally light and free flowing like water, felt like mud as it moved through my coils. It was dense. So dense that it was a struggle to move it anywhere it did not naturally want to go. Ninjutsu was basically a non-starter in this case. Okay, not ninjutsu as a whole, but anything that required precise control. I’d probab...
2025-09-18 06:41:58 +0000 UTC View PostLike an arrow, we sailed through the air. Igneel folded in his wings, not spreading them as we flew downwards. So that meant thanks to gravity we were flying down even faster than we had been flying into the air. Was it even flying at this point. I closed my eyes as I felt the wind sting against them, folding my body down and bracing myself for impact. Through Igneel’s sharp eyes, I could see...
2025-09-18 05:37:35 +0000 UTC View Post“Well, be that as it may, back to the story then” he said, before pausing.
“And where were we again?”
“You had just gotten married” I said.
“Oh yes. Perenelle and I lived many years married and I won’t say those days were perfect, but they were simple, and they were happy. We had gold aplenty to keep ourselves from penury, and on the side Perenelle ran a pot...
2025-09-18 05:06:47 +0000 UTC View PostI began to release natural energy from the seal, but this time instead of natural energy on one side, my chakra on the other, and Kurama’s coming over everything later on, I put my chakra on one side, and then Kurama’s on the same side, merging our chakras best as I could— which was not very good— but Kurama himself could do it as easy as breath. And then the nature energy was on the ot...

We were kings of it all, unbeatable, unquestionable. Vhagar showed it as she dove down again. Two massive gouts of flames burned a line into the water, basically splitting the ships in two. The Velaryon ships had begun boarding the Triarchy ships on ...

“Names have power” She reminded.
“Indeed. You may know us as you know us now. Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel. It’s the names we’ve used for centuries now, so I guess they are as true as any other. We were born there, and we grew up within two powerful nobl...
2025-09-16 17:16:50 +0000 UTC View PostThey panicked. Someone must have even bricked their pants with how suddenly they turned to the air only to find a mountain of a dragon falling down upon them. We didn’t give them the time to turn their scorpions about. “Dracarys” I roared in unison with Igneel and his flames roared next, covering a large swathe of the air with flames, setting two or three boats on fire before we dove upwa...
2025-09-16 06:35:06 +0000 UTC View Post“Okay, you can talk now” I said, leaning back into my seat and waving my hand through the air in as casual a way as I could manage even as I could feel the weight that constricted around my magic. It felt like it was not going to do anything, but it was there. Present, waiting, watching, judging. I thought about telling Sirius what they were going to say, and I felt it press down on me. Not...
2025-09-16 05:27:13 +0000 UTC View PostHe reached for my hands, grabbing a hold of both my wrists as he began to forcibly wrench them apart. We struggled against each other for— I don’t even know how long. Me on top of him, him beneath, snarling at what he must have viewed as the injustice of it all. We kept struggling and then there was a flicker of movement. I closed my eyes for a second in the struggle, and I felt him move ut...
2025-09-16 04:56:43 +0000 UTC View PostChanging plans to seal him meant we had to weaken him as much as possible. Part of me wished I hadn’t agreed to Grandmother’s terms of not bringing the Uzumaki to war. If we had fie or six sealing masters on hand, this would be much easier. Of course, there was a chance that I’d manage to het all six of them killed and in that case, I’d have lost six people who could have otherwise been...

The disparity in the way they efficiently got their ships in order, completing a perfect retreat in good order that led the Triarchy’s fleet by the nose into one of the few natural choke points in the Stepstones. Two large islands so cl...

“You can’t bind your own unbreakable vows by yourself? I would have expected you to have reached that level by now” He said, something lurking behind his eyes.
“That’s impossible” I rested instantly. Because it was. Magic did not like being bound, and no one wanted to die. Your note intent to not die ...
2025-09-15 09:21:17 +0000 UTC View Post“Like I’d fucking let you,” I snarled, pushing myself off the ground and straight at him. I kicked the glowing green hand upwards, forcing it away from the wound. Uzume, now recovered, stomped the back of his knee with so much force that the chakra she’d used was probably visible to the naked eye. A less elegant version of my cousin’s technique, but effective enough to be useful. She ...
2025-09-15 09:20:17 +0000 UTC View Post“We must fly out to meet the fleets by dawn on the morrow,” Rhaenys started the meeting. I nodded. Part of me was surprised that they had not managed to overrun us in the day I’d wasted being unconscious and then questioning Bernard. At least now I was somewhat sure of where his loyalties stood and that he understood that I would not be as forgiving in the future if those allegiances mana...
2025-09-15 09:04:37 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the gala passed without incident. I watched both Okonkwo and Sirius throughout. Sirius, ever the social butterfly, seemed to enjoy how he was being ferried from table to table all through the night. Everyone seemed curious about the escaped convict, Sirius Black, who turned out to be the former but not much of the latter. I’d already counted two who had been unnaturally curious ab...

Vhagar remained in the air as Igneel and I shot at the ground. A few meters from it, he spread his wings as far as he could, catching the wind and slowing us almost to a crawl. Dragon flight remained one thing I just couldn’t understand. Considering his mass and considering how fast we had been going, there was just no way that spreading his wings should have done anything to m...

“Iwa shinobi?” He asked instantly, hand moving to his blade. They couldn’t afford to lose another friend now. Not after Choni, Kuro, and Izuku.
“No. Suna.”
“What the hell is Suna doing here?” But did it matter. They were after their friend and ...
2025-09-14 07:15:54 +0000 UTC View PostA wand appeared in Lachonis’ hand. So quickly that I couldn’t even tell where he had drawn it from. Mine fell from holster a second letter. I didn’t expect to be attacked. Not by this couple at least. They looked old and harmless but then wasn’t that the point of looks? To deceive? He slashed it over our heads, and I felt the weight of a ward fall down upon me. It had been so quick. I...

I smashed my head back into my pillow. Fuck. I should have just kissed her last night. It took me more time than it should have to roll out of bed and begin washing.
Daily washes were a quirk of mine that was yet to catch on, but I had faith. No on...

The brief twinge of disappointment that rose through me died a quick death as she pulled down the gown, leaving her in her underwear. Medieval underwear left a lot to the imagination, however. I absently added it to my list of things to invent. Lingerie. Laena would look heavenly in lingerie, I thought to myself.

It was no far from where Okonkwo was holding court with her bevy of admirers. I noticed she was showing them some plant summoning like she had used against Cece and they were enraptured. I buried my scoff but not well enough because Russo tur...

He still remembered the pitying looks he had received when the teams had been announced. Not everyone made it obvious, of course, but even Sensei had taken him aside to offer some condolences. He hadn’t understood it then. He wasn’t the best in the class by any measure, but he had smoked the written test and passed the physical ones as well. He was just as much a shino...

He felt most sorry for the Iwa shinobi that had been hiding in the building before the Uchiha’s fire release jutsu turned it and a quarter mile of space around it to ash. Their fates were almost as bad as that of the civilians trapped in the building the Raikage had wrestled Shorirama Senju through. They didn’t even notice how much death and des...

It felt like everything was heightened now. In this silence between us, that lasted an eternity, all the world seemed to make its presence felt. The moonlight streaking through the window was so bright I had to wonder if it had always bee...
