This was the second shipment so far, and so far so good it seemed like the Triarchy were keen to keep their end of the bargain. If only things with Dorne had been so simple, I thought with some measure of disappointment.
“I’ve never seen anyone look sad to be receiving gold before. Chin up, brother” Laena whispered to my side.
“Just thinking about Dor...
2025-10-08 21:14:13 +0000 UTC View PostAt least that was how it tended to work according to the books Tom Riddle had read on the subject. He’d never er actually done it before. Neither had I. But that was the good thing about the dark arts. They were deceptively easy to use when you ad enough talent.
“Rise, and do my will” I muttered in Gaelic, waiting for the spell to take hold. The wind in the room seemed to go still a...
2025-10-08 20:29:18 +0000 UTC View Post“Most likely.” He said.
“Then that works for me.” I said, turning back and walking towards the room I’d been imprisoned in.
“Last I checked, you blew a hole in his chest, Harry Potter” I heard his call after me.
“I wonder what they teach at Durmstrang if you think that is an unfixable problem” I tossed back, smile on my face.
“They must put delusions ...
2025-10-08 10:23:37 +0000 UTC View Post“First of all, what kind of ward is it?” He asked.
“I didn’t ask for a lesson. Just help me remove the ward” I growled back.
“Well, it is not like you find yourself spoiled for choice, is it? We either do this my way or not at all” He said. I looked back at him, and he met my age, not even flinching or backing down slightly. Oh fuck it.
“It’s a boundary ward ...
2025-10-08 10:21:36 +0000 UTC View Post“Now that we all know what we’re doing here and what our individual roles are. We can get to the first order of business. Which is?” I prompted.
“The war” Shikahime filled the silence.
“Indeed. We wiped Iwa off the map so they won’t matter. But Kumo, Suna, and Mizu remain standing. What are we going to do about that?”
“Your letter to Suna hasn’t received...
2025-10-07 22:18:11 +0000 UTC View Post“Kneel” He said, and I must have misheard. I looked back at Ben, far at the back and he nodded. This was it. Laena was beaming ear to ear. She’d been in on this for sure.
I dropped to one knee, not even caring about what the mud would do to my breeches. I was getting Knighted.
“Good. Now you can help me polish my boots from there” He said with a laugh. I looked up at him...

“That’s the problem”
“Hm?”
“I do. No matter what, I do.”
“That doesn’t sound like a problem to me”, I said with a smile. She just ignored me and kept on walking though, forcing me to speed up to catch up to her.
I heard him not long after I saw him. Even with so much distance between us, Borr...
2025-10-07 21:56:03 +0000 UTC View PostAnd continuing the theme of the council being made entirely of my people, the next person to rise was Shikahime. Where the others had done so crisply and sharply, she rose with a sort of lazy lean that suited her even for all it was out of place in the cold discipline of the room. “Nara Shikahime. Intelligence, Counter Intelligence, and Strategy” She said. And that was another invention of ...

“And so I call this first meeting of the Hokage’s advisory council in order” I said, feeling the robes as they weighed be down as well as the comforting weight of the hat as I rose from my seat.
We were in one of the many meeting rooms that dotted the Hokage tower. Having it rearranged into a semi-permanent meeting space for this council of mine had been...
2025-10-06 07:18:47 +0000 UTC View Post“This is a terrible idea. I must state my objections to this”
“Yes, you have stated your objections, Uncle. Seven times at this point, If I’m counting right”
“Eight” Laena corrected by my side.
“Eight times” I amended.
“And yet you insist on going forward with this this this foolishness”
“And yet I insist” I agree.
“Please Ne...
2025-10-06 07:17:08 +0000 UTC View PostI should probably have kept the fiendfyre for long enough to destroy these wards at least, it seemed, I thought to myself as I stood before the door. My rationale had been the fact that with the size the fiendfyre had reached, there was no chance I was going to manage that much without basically announcing myself to the rest of this place. And to be honest, I just wanted to get out of here.
... 2025-10-06 07:15:08 +0000 UTC View PostI stared back at Iwa. This was the place, for good or for ill, that would mark the beginning of my legacy. Here I had fought the Third Raikage to a standstill and then been robbed of a true conclusion by a foolish woman. A foolish woman who had gone on, along with her Suna allies, to kill my cousin and one of her teammates. The other sits in a seal now, waiting to see if we can manage to fix hi...
2025-10-06 07:12:56 +0000 UTC View PostWhile I had not expected the portkey, that did not mean that I was anywhere close to being caught with my pants down. The second the portkey began to whirl, I braced myself for it to release me. As expected, the man pretending to be Julian Russo had not released me even as we were being hurled through a hole torn in the very fabric of space-time.
That didn’t matter, though, because I ha...
2025-10-06 07:12:04 +0000 UTC View Post“They sure did manage to step in it this time, didn’t they?” I commented to Laena from where we sat in front of Igneel.
“Yeah, I wondered why you were being so specific about timelines in your letter when there was so little chance of them being able to understand the timeline perfectly. You did it so they would move as quickly as possible, didn’t you?”
“Indeed. They w...
2025-10-06 07:09:51 +0000 UTC View Post“So we are fully in agreement as to everything then” I said, basically ending the negotiation after what felt like hours of talking and grinding out specificities.
“Yes. The terms are satisfactory. Our scribe and yours can exchange copies now” The interpreter relayed the Lyseni’s words. I gestured to Bernard, and he walked forward with his draft of the treaty. I read it over to...
2025-10-06 06:43:03 +0000 UTC View Post“They do want to die, you know? Their present existence is little but pain and hunger. They’ll brave the former in their desire to end the latter” Grindlewald said from the side, sounding more amused than anything else. I huffed, and turned my wand on the first one that made it through the flames.
My blasting curse shot it back in the direction it was coming from. I thought for a s...

“You’d have thought that it would have taken them less time than it has to figure out that they like each other” She heard the voice behind her, not even bothering to turn. She had seen Shikahime’s approach from a mile away— literally. Scouting with her byakugan was a bit of caution that she was unsure would ever leave her after the war. Getting caught off guard o...
2025-10-06 05:09:42 +0000 UTC View PostIt took longer than it should have for me to get myself under enough control to stop laughing. And when I did, it was to find Uzume looking at me with a strange sort of smile. The kind that said she wasn’t sure whether to laugh with me or see to it that I got some help.
“Well, if you must know, I’ve been thinking.”
“Never a good thing” She said, and I couldn’t help b...
2025-10-05 19:18:58 +0000 UTC View Post“Now to the matter of the slaves.” I broached.
“Having us turn over our slaves would an overreach”
“One that we must all stomach, I am afraid. It is a non-negotiable. I will have twenty thousand slaves who work in the following industries: shipbuilding, glassmaking, dyemaking, pleasure, administration, customs enforcement, cloth making, and agriculture” I said.

2025-10-05 18:11:02 +0000 UTC View PostSo like I was saying: four breeds. The first, the half bats. They all had wings, but the presentation of their bat features differed beyond that. Some had fully human bodies with bat heads, others had bat limbs but human sized, and there was even one who looked especially vicious that was a bat in every respect but the single human head. The head of a human child at that. That one would die no ...

“Uraume?”
“Ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies” She said, basically confirming that it had been my Hyuga cousin who had called her here.
“Well, now you’ve seen me” I said.
“And you will keep dan...
2025-10-05 18:08:29 +0000 UTC View Post“But it is my offer” I said, and the Magisters spoke to one another in their Bastard Valyrian until one of the Lyseni men finally spoke to the interpreter. And the man finally turned to me, clearly more pleased to be able to actually relay the message that had been given to him.
“The Triarchy can not afford the terms of the offer you have laid out before us. We can suggest other te...
2025-10-05 16:33:37 +0000 UTC View Post“And what makes you think I would not be able to make it out of here on my own?” I asked, quirking my eyebrow at him. He looked to be in his mid-teens. Probably about sixteen or so. Gellert Grindlewald had been one hell of a prodigy, but he hadn’t been so strong as to say that I wouldn’t give myself good odds if we were to face ourselves in combat.

“You would have the truth from me, but you lie to me just as assuredly. Tell me now and tell me the truth. Who are you and how do you know who I am?” He asked.
“I am Harry Potter of Great Britain. I know who you are because we were taught about you at school. You grow up to become a Dark Lord of some notoriety. You unite Europe against you,...
2025-10-05 12:42:45 +0000 UTC View PostI aimed my wand at the far end of the wall, the part that I felt was moe likely to lead outside and fired a blasting curse. It blew through the wall, yes, but then there was nothing behind it but more stone.
“I’d advise you not to continue” I spun on my heels, finding myself next to a man somehow. When had he gotten in here? How had he done so? Without my notice?
“Is this ...
2025-10-04 19:41:21 +0000 UTC View Post“Presenting: their majesties, the representatives of the Grand Council of the Triarchy…” They had brought an orator, of course. A very long winded one it seemed as I shared a look of long suffering with Laena before we took our seats.
