I nodded and began to make my way to my room once we separated, only to notice that I had more than one shadow this time. “Laena, pardon me if I’ve gotten it wrong, but should you not have turned towards your rooms at the previous hallway?” I asked. I had taken a room some distance from both my Mother and Sister not out of any desire to be distant, but more because of how close it was to ...

His Kage was not winning, he thought to himself as he practically flew across the village. He had just been barely able to hide when Shorirama Senju had intervened in the fight with Kinkaku and Ginkaku. He had felt it keenly when the two of them had been ripped apart. He thought the Raikage in rage would be the scariest chakra he ever had the displeasure of sensing. The beast ...

I tried not to give in to despair, but that was proving far from easy. I’d burst too fast, used my trump card before it was ready. I should have forced him down to one finger before redirecting the attack. Now he knew what I was planning, I doubted he wa...
2025-09-12 20:09:16 +0000 UTC View Post“Is that so?” I drawled in my best impression of a certain Potion Master. Speaking of him, it was still surprising that Dumbledore hadn’t gotten him back to Hogwarts yet. He’d gotten off the Obstruction of Justice charges very easily. Under veritaserum he had testified that when I had knocked him into the wall with my disarming charm he had suffered a concussion and so hadn’t been thi...

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 f...

At least now I was somewhat sure of where his loyalties stood and that he understood that I would not be as forgiving in future if those allegiances man...
2025-09-12 06:56:20 +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...

Not even seconds after he dared me to bring my best to bear, he was already backpedaling. I had a theory. I had power to spare. I wasn’t just the magical power and potential of a single person. I was two. Doom had offered intellect and other skills, but no magic. Tom Riddle and Harry Potter ...

But then I did notice the number of outstretched fingers drop from four to three, and then I was leaning backwards, barely avoiding losing my head with that one.

Irritated, I expanded and exploded the rasengan right between us, teleporting behind him. His arm was there to block my raised kick, but that left his midsection open for Uzume to slam a rasengan into. It ground against his shield to no effect....

My experience making one allowed me to see that much. It was more a raft than a boat, if I was being honest with myself. But how had Pate built this under everyone’s nose? I wouldn’t accuse us of being the most attentive of people, especially when it came to the serving sta...
