Chapter 19.5- Doom Days

I gasped into my mouth when she reached me. She looked lovely, but her smell. She smelled divine. It was unreal. I dropped into a deep bow and took a hold of her offered hand, planting a kiss on it.

“You look enchanting” I told her in a whisper that still carried because of how silent the hall had fallen. She smiled, and I felt warmth flow to my chest.

“Thank you, Monsieur P...

Chapter 42.5- And so the Dragons Danced

They dragged the whips to hold him still and Natsu was forced to stand with his hands outstretched as the earthbender shoved his arms into the ground. They came up with rocky gauntlets around them. Toji leaned over the railing to get a better view as the earthbender began to run at his friend.

Sighing at his show coming to an end, he turned and picked up his staff, testing the balance fo...

Chapter 19.4- Doom Days

Both Krum and his date whirled around to face me at my scoff. “You speak German, Harry Potter?” Krum asked in said language. I debated playing the fool but that thought didn’t manage to last longer than a second before I tossed it to the side.

“Yes I do, Victor Krum” I replied in the same language.

“This is my date, Artemis Athinaios.” He said, remembering his mann...

Chapter 38.4- One Thousand Hands

I directed more and more clones into the fray as the water began to pile on. Soon, everyone was trodding on water to move around. The wiser ones were making sure to use the water walking technique to stay atop. The less skilled, or less intelligent of them were plodding along the ground, allowing the water to steadily climb up towards their shins. Foolish. Jinpei seemed to be having a good enou...

Chapter 42.4- And so the Dragons Danced

As Natsu chased him, Iroh slammed his foot on the ground with a lot more force than he needed to, obviously some form of signal for Jeong-Jeong to do something. But instead of Natsu’s master, the ground in front of Natsu exploded as someone jumped out of the hole and dove right on Natsu, slamming Toji’s best friend into the ground. Obviously an earth bender, the man was a giant easily nearl...

Chapter 38.3- One Thousand Hands

One thing the whales did better than any summons I had ever heard of was chakra control. I was standing atop Jinpei’s head, but I stabbed my chakra down, and he allowed it to flow around him and through him like he wasn’t even there and dug into the ground itself. Even atop him, I could feel the earth like I was standing on it. With that connection, I worked my jutsu. “Mud Release: Sad Ma...

XXXXXX- TOJI

Natsu had one great talent in life. It was killing. Zhufu and Maki might have tried to dress it up with pretty words because they never truly understood his best friend. Natsu was a born killer, and it showed in the way he fought Iroh and Jeong-Jeong. Even though they seemed equally matched to most, Toji could tell there was a sharpness in Natsu’s movements. A hunger and sa...

Chapter 19.3- Doom Days

“Threee months ago, and Mr Malfoy would have gotten you in a tiff from just that tiny bit of provocation.”

“I wonder why you never stopped him then, if it was always so obvious to you what he was doing.”

“I would have….if you’d ever let the provocation sit and reported him to me instead of rising to the bait” she said and I turned to her with a raised eyebrow at tha...

Chapter 19.2- Doom Days

I made my way out of the room under a disillusionment charm and waited till I was on the third floor to disable it. After that, I made my way to the Great Hall just like everyone else. Except that my presence caused a barrage of stares and whispers to be directed my way. As I hated being late for things, I was scheduled to arrive at the entrance to the great hall just a few minutes before the e...

Chapter 42.2- And so the Dragons Danced

Their presence was noticed in seconds and all the present forces turned to them almost as one. The old men seemed to take that as their cue and their circle broke apart and began rushing at the guards surrounding them. The man on the throne who she figured was the Fire Lord seemed to regard them with boiling hatred.

“How fitting is it that the coward known as the Avatar would choose to...

“Are you sure this will work?” She asked me form our position cloaked at the outskirts of the Suna camp.

“I think that this might be the wrong time to ask such a question, don’t you think? If it doesn’t work, then we’re fucked.” I said to her with a smirk.

“No time for your jokes Shorirama. I did this on your assurances that you can somehow create a distr...

Chapter 42.1- And so the Dragons Danced

There was so much chaos around them that she couldn’t even make heads or tails of what was going on. Everything had begun according to plan. Masters Pakku, Jeong-Jeong, Piandao, and Zuko’s Uncle had left to the Earth Kingdom to free Ba Sing Se while she, Sokka, Aang, Bato and their allies went towards the Fire Nation. While their friends attacked the Gates of Azulon, it was her, Sokka, and ...

TWO MONTHS INTO THE SECOND GREAT SHINOBI WAR

“I’m surprised it took them this long to get this desperate” I said, while giving Shika a significant look. She’d seen this coming, but had expected it to happen as early as a month ago. They had sent sixteen different teams out. The last time, they even sent two teams out at the same time in the hopes of confusing our surveillance but ...

Dark green robes, a smart cloak of the same colour around my shoulders and a watch from Sirius’ family vault that he assured me had been the work of a famous wizarding Horologist made the entirety of ensemble for the yule ball. A simple bit of self-transfiguration gave my hair the last few inches of length it needed to look good in a topknot. I’d found that tying my hair up was one of the f...

“This is a terrible idea”

“Do you want to be an animagus or do you not want to?”

“I want to be an animagus, but getting stuck in the body of a beast is not something I particularly fancy, Sirius”

“I have a wand, Harry. Ill-fitting as it might be, I can get a good enough job done with it to turn you back if you get caught”.

“Speaking of that, why hav...

I laughed. I could not help it. I laughed, and not a chuckle or a snigger, but a full-blown laugh that had me doubled over and struggling to stand.

“If you think that is an offer worth anything, then you clearly failed to listen when Jeong-Jeong told you about me. I am Natsu Wu, General of the Fire Nation. Heir to the Wu family. I do not surrender. I do not retreat. I do not lose. You ...

Chapter 41.6- And so the Dragons Danced

Toji pushed the body off of him before the blood could stain him further. He pushed himself to his feet and stared down at the body, silently saying a prayer for the man’s soul. Toji knew that one day that would be him. He knew the kind of person his best friend was. Natsu was a warrior, the kind of person who was happiest when killing and under the threat of being killed. War would never end...

“Well, Rowena Ravenclaw would disagree. She was on to something.” I said, as the tome’s words began to sink in.

“Wait. Rowena Ravenclaw wrote that? THE ROWENA RAVENCLAW?” He asked, sounding gobsmacked.

“Well, she didn’t write the book itself. It’s the journal of an early Hogwarts Headmistress, but she had been working based on notes from Ravenclaw. Ravenclaw had the...

Chapter 37- One Thousand Hands (Complete)

That very morning, a team of Chunin under the command of a Jounin were sent out from the Suna camp. The fact that they were making their way back towards their village at pace left little doubt in our minds as to why exactly they had been dispatched and what they sought to achieve. It was just a shame that they had bitten off more than they could chew, and even worse, had no idea what they had ...

He took a deep breath and allowed his fire natured chakra to warm his body. He was starting to feel old already. Another war, and this one was being spent behind a desk instead of under a tent, waiting for the enemy so he could kill them with his own hands. No, instead, he was relegated to this role of sending his shino...

“A painting?” Jeong-Jeong asked, also jumping out the window and taking his stance in front of me.

“This duel we are about to fight- you think it ends with the three of us. No, this is one that is going to go down in history.”

“How arrogant” Iroh said, jumping out of the window as well and joining Jeong-Jeong and I in the Earth king’s Rock garden. I silently noted the...

It turned out the answer was a lot. One would be forgiven for assuming that it didn’t matter that I knew about mud release being a kekkei genkai now since I’d always been using it instinctively, but there was a difference between doing something by instinct and doing it with full cognizance. One of those differences? Control. I could control the mud in ways that I hadn’t ever ac...

Chapter 18.5- Doom Days

The confringo was followed by another and then another, forcing me to drop my shield in favour of deflecting the powerful spells but then Sirius switched back to using harmless jinxes and hexes to overwhelm my speed. So that was how it was. I allowed the next two spells to hit me, and tore up the ground with a heave, allowing the rest of his spells to wash away against my wall. A silent finite ...

“Was that a dark healing spell?: I asked, curious about the emotions that had flashed on his face as he used it.

“Don’t be ridiculous. The dark arts do not heal. They exist to take and destroy and pervert everything they touch.” He said with tone as dark as his name.

“I find that to be a bit limiting, don’t you think” I said, commenting on the viewpoint before I noti...

I watched Uraume leave with the prisoner with a small smile. I’d won the rock, paper, scissors, for deciding who had to return the prisoner to the hideout. I’d used a quick chakra suppression seal along with a weight distribution matrix to make her easier to transport even as I mentally ruled out a few options for the seal matrix that would serve as the center of my prisoner tran...

He hits like a train, I thought to myself as I felt my body crash through the previously unyielding stone that had made up the wall behind my desk. I flipped in the air and spread my heat all around my body before I managed to stab my hand into the ground and arrest my momentum.

“Well, that saves me the trouble of suggesting a different venue” I said as I pushed off the ground and sl...

Chapter 18.3- Doom Days

The bloodletting ritual was a fascinating bit of magic, technically legal, but dark as they came. It was the ritual that served as a solution to blood curses for the most part. Sounds strange to you? Well, centuries ago, blood curses had been a massive problem. One naughty wizard from the Grimm family had discovered how to cast nasty curses with small amounts of blood and had basically cemented...

Chapter 37.3- One Thousand Hands

The snake bit off my head and the rest of my muddy body collapsed around it and kept it frozen still, restricting its movement. Substitution complete, I erupted from the ground beneath her, giving her enough time to bring the glorified cylinder around to face me. The snake was for capture and restriction, the scorpion was a short-range specialist most likely, and so that meant that this one wou...

“Yes. Had to do some complicated calculations and measurements to get it in place, but the artisans of Ba Sing Se do love a challenge” I said idly, even as I kept part of my attention on my internal flame, trying to do anything to stoke it into being if possible. I had given up on fighting the eclipse’s power, but I still wanted to be able to react the second the eclipse went down. Ozai h...

Piandao, perhaps upset at the casual way Toji was speaking about dismembering him sent on the attack. A straight sweeping slice that cut naught but air as Toji leaned backwards to avoid it and retaliated with a forward thrust of his spear. At the same time, Toph sent a pillar of straight stone right at Pakku. The waterbending master, with fantastic economy of motion created a cutting wave of wa...
