36.Rage against the Dying Light
18th Day of the 8th MoonJon Snow He awoke, fully rested. As usual, Val's bare form pleasantly clung to him under the thick furs. Being married… felt no different than before, but as time passed, Jon felt a sense of pressure on his shoulders, though that might have been because he had to lead over ten thousand men and women. Things were easy now, but Jon was all too well aware of how relentless and cruel the rising tide of darkness could be. At least his sleep had been good of late - or, as soon as…-

33.Suffering from Success
9th Day of the 8th MoonJaime Lannister "One more," his words were met with Joffrey's annoyed half-glare, half-groan. "Or we can do drills instead?" The crown prince, clad in padded training armour, threw him a petulant glare, "Why must I do this, uncle?" It wasn't a new question; his son had asked him this many a time. But when had he ever been a father to the boy? Did he even want to be one? "A man must know how to fight, let alone a prince." The answer had always been the…-

35.A Malignant Web
13th Day of the 8th MoonEddard Stark He couldn't help but feel disappointed at Robert's bored indifference. Where was his friend who would daringly leap head-first into every fray, voice booming and warhammer swinging? Truth be told, Ned had suspected the Night's Watch plea would fall on deaf ears within the council, but he harboured the tiniest smidgeon of hope that the king would leap at the chance of fighting. Alas, the Lord of Winterfell was met with profound disappointment instead. The lauded…-

34.Ploys and Plans
10th Day of the 8th MoonZaphon Sarrios, Tyrosh The magister was not happy. Grudgingly, he looked around his favourite personal bathhouse - everything was covered by intricate tiles made of polished white marble, and the air was thick with the misty veil waffling from the churning waters below. Velyena, his favourite bed slave and bare just as the day she was born, was just beside him and slowly feeding him sweet, ripe red grapes, the colour of deep amber. Another of his favourites, Deliena, was…-

16.Growing Bold
2nd Day of the 6th Moon, 303 ACSansa Stark The last day had been a blur; her thoughts drifted with the wind, and everything felt like a fleeting dream. After the meeting, Sansa patiently waited aside as Jon spoke to her granduncle. Having Ser Brynden Tully swear his service to him was a bold yet cunning move, which would only bolster Jon's legitimacy. The answers her brother promised were nearing. But… was he her brother? Or was he Aunt Lyanna's son as Barbrey had claimed? After her…-

15.Queen Rhaella was his Mother
? Jaime Lannister, outside the walls of Harrenhal They had twenty-one thousand men from the Westerlands and five thousand more from the Riverlands. The Riverlords' loyalty was shaky at best, but all of them had given hostages now tightly secured in Casterly Rock, so they had no choice but to send men to fight this Aegon Targaryen. A poor host, but this was everything Tommen could muster. He would have three thousand more, but someone had killed every single soul in the Twins. Now, the position of…-

19.The Die is Cast
130 ACBaela Targaryen The Chamber of the Painted Table saw a war council again, and now it was no longer as empty as a sept when the whores offered bargain nights. This time, even Baela was invited. The killing of the Usurper had won her the favour of many. Some hailed her as a kingslayer, though others whispered behind her back. "Kinslayer," they would murmur, but never to her face. Accursed was the kinslayer. Baela did not feel any different, though. Jon had said Aegon had perished…-

53.Playing with Fire
9th of October 1993, Saturday (3 days later) Harry Potter Stern-faced, dressed in a heavy yellow-and-black robe, the deputy headmistress had an imposing appearance that could intimidate many students by her presence alone. A younger version of Professor McGonagall, and far more dangerous. He suspected there would be trouble when Amelia Bones slipped into the meeting with a guilty-looking Susan, but the proposal still surprised them. Even Nyx shifted underneath his skin, waking him from his…-

52.Foiled Endeavours
1st of October 1993, Friday (21 days later)Albus Dumbledore Three weeks. It took him three weeks to get an actual lead and move in. His connections abroad were fewer compared to the British Isles, and across the world, they were spread thin. While his name carried weight and unlocked many doors, he was redirected towards bureaucrat after bureaucrat and official after official. It was a cumbersome process that reminded him that at least half of the Ministries across the continent and ICW were even more…-
