‘We need names for these islands’, I thought to myself not for the first time as I struggled to relate to the others just where exactly I had come in contact with the Jordayne fleet.

The transifiguration master that had managed to beat is fellow in the previous round had been knocked our himself after being faced with one of those who I felt likely to meet me in the finals.

It was all she could do not to throw up as she walked into the house. All around her there were aurors, hit-wizards, and forensic specialists.

He watched the new Lord of Driftmark fly away on his dragon with a sigh of relief. They’d almost been caught right there and then. Damn it, the boy had good instincts. The fact that they’d had enough wine within to make up the casks was just pure luck.

He could see the walls of Iwagakure now, just over the horizon. The fact that he could meant that most of their remaining army could, and those men were revitalized by the sight.

2025-08-30 06:09:54 +0000 UTC View PostThere were four men around the Raikage. Dead men, he disregarded them as almost immediately. Above them was the true threat. There was some sort of chakra construct. It was explosive, and its movements indicated that it was controlling its flight. Some sort of bird made of the same explosive clay as the thing that had landed in their midst earlier? He chanced a glance upwards and to the left, c...

“From the East and the West we will attack. Two hundred ships— one hundred from each direction will cut the Velaryon fleet at its knees, smash it against the shore, and move to seize Bloodstone” Icarus had not expected the meeting to be between only him and three of the magisters. In hindsight, it probably did make sense. There was no point exposing him to what internal division...

He felt the urge to put his hands in his head and sigh again, but he knew the second he did that his worried wife would walk through the door.

“We are leaving the city?” He asked once they came upon the gates. He felt a twinge in his chest. It was quite possible that the Prince would have gotten the Triarchy to do his dirty work for him.
