A fire in the blood
Theon POV
The city was dirtier than I thought. On the surface, it was a great city, as big as King’s Landing. Yet it didn’t have the smell of shit anywhere, or maybe my senses were dull, but the dirt on the streets didn’t bother me. What bothered me was the chains, the leases. The absence...

It has been more than a month since Kaen sealed his students. During that time, they learned not to rely on their clan gifts and strengthen their weaknesses. Of the three Kaen like Shino the most, the boy proved resourceful. It was he who managed to break the seals Kaen placed on them. Kaen didn’t expect th...

Seeds of doubt
Edmure POV
Silence fell when the self-proclaimed Aegon left the dungeons of the Great Pyramid. I looked at Daenerys, and she looked back at me. There was nervousness in her eyes, but most of it was rage. At what or at whom, it was hard to say. Was it at herself for her powerlessness or at those arou...

Mother of Dragons
Daenerys POV
Seeing my children flying through the ocean made me realize they weren’t small. I heard from Arstan that Balerion was two hundred years old before he died. Balerion was so big that his shadow would engulf entire towns when he flew. My dragons were still little compared to him as th...

It was clear that the Hyuga clan didn’t like Kaen much. It was expected after what he had said about the clan previously. But not everyone was darting piercing eyes at him. From a few branch family members he met, Kaen would notice admiration and hope. Hiashi had a reason for his plan, after all.
It w...

Crimes and judgment
Edmure POV
As soon as I was accepted into Queen Daenerys’s court and left mostly alone, I started planning. The Tattered Prince still has not arrived, which might take some time. I knew I couldn’t strike Euron alone and needed help. As much as Asha was helpful, I couldn’t truly trust her....

I watched as a mass of smallfolk marched to the east. King Stannis had to force villages and towns to leave for the Crownlands and King’s Landing. Even if he took all their food and resources, he led them to leave uncontested. I didn’t know why he did so. He could have just left them b...

Kaen looked at his three genin. They were full of anticipation for the start of their careers. Even though he knew he shouldn’t enjoy it, he loved destroying their wills and taking the dirtiest D-rank missions. Kaen knew that to be a shinobi, physical training wasn’t enough. They needed endurance more tha...

Edmure POV
I sharpened my sword as we sailed to Mereen. I could see eyes covering me with interest. Only a few of Asha’s crew knew of my identity. To others, I was a guy with a face covered in bandages. Asha kept a close look at me too. As a whetstone went through the blade of my sword, I coul...

Kaen observed his team as they waited for him in the training field. To say he was displeased would be an understatement. Even though he agreed to it, he felt tricked. Kaen knew the Third Hokage was a trickster, but he didn’t expect this. Letting out a sigh, he moved from his position to the team he was ass...

The old white knight
Barristan POV
I did not like these people. Aegon Targaryen, as he called himself, was at the front. Behind him was Euron Greyjoy. From his eye, I could tell he was not someone to be trusted. That eye smiled too much like it hid many things. Then there was Jon Connington. He had not shown any r...

With each day, it was harder to stay in Red Keep. Rats scurrying around my feet made me tense. Sometimes I wanted to stab them all to death as the cats of the keep let them go free. I couldn’t move around the keep or the city without them keeping watch on me. It wasn’t enjoyable when t...

The target was moving suspiciously. Kaen observed that the target was nervous about something. He didn’t know why but suspected the target would meet an important client soon. Kaen’s job was monitoring the target and reporting to the team leader. Otherwise, Kaen would have already approached his target.
