“How are things going?” I asked. Fighting the Raikage had taken my full attention. The landscape of the battlefield was all but unknown to me. If I turned my attention away from him for a second, he would take my head off and go kill everyone else.
“Too early to say. Hasn’t even been a minute yet” She said.
“Fighting him makes every second feel like hours”

“Good” She said and then we kept dancing. The moment slipped, and I wondered if I had imagined it— the heat, the tension.
“Tell me what the issue is, Laena”
“How old is Igneel?” She asked instead.
“You know exactly how old Igneel is. He hatched in my crib” I said instead, not much appreciating the distraction. 2025-09-04 17:12:30 +0000 UTC View Post
“Oh hey Sirius. How’ve you been?” Harry turned to him and Sirius was struck by the resemblance again. It was like staring at James from all those years ago.
“So-so. Got bored and heard you laughing so I came to find out what’s so funny”

“A game?”

2025-09-04 05:30:06 +0000 UTC View PostIt was something I wondered if Naruto had been able to do. His sage mode seemed to be either on or off, but then that could have just been a simplification for the manga and internally, there could have been all sorts of things going on. There was also the chance that Naruto had just been maxing it out, not really seeing the use for a watered down version of sage mode in the same way I did. 2025-09-03 06:19:26 +0000 UTC View Post
For one, Harry laughed a lot more than Reggie ever did. Speaking of Harry’s laughter, he heard the sound again and turned to the side, finding him standing next to the boy that had been his opponent in the Quarter finals— Angel Cerulean or something like that. It had been a good duel, but Sirius’ prediction that nobody here would be able to push Harry all that far was holding true. Harry ...

Pate offered me a glass of wine. I looked at it, looked at him, and then looked over at mother who nodded in my direction.

He tossed his attention from side to side, trying to find his cheeky little godson in this massive hall. Well, little was not a good word for Harry anymore.

“So, shall we get started, good man?” He asked when he took the seat in the tent offered to him. To his shock, the only one in the room was Laenor Velaryon himself. Well, the only one apart from the silent specter that stood by the young Lord’s side.

He attempted a straight punch at the Raikage that he blocked with his forearm. The ground around them shatte...
