76.Teetering on the Brink
19th Day of the 7th Moon, 299 ACEddard Stark, Outside of Myr Unlike Tyrosh, Lys, and Volantis, the walls of Myr were made of ordinary granite. It was of no surprise since, according to what Ned remembered from his childhood lessons, the town was either founded by Valyrian merchants or had started as a walled Andal town, conquered by the Freehold later. Forty-foot tall curtain walls dotted with watchtowers, squat gatehouses, and a garrison were more than enough to keep armies out of the city until the…-

75.Twisted Justice
28th of December, Wednesday (3 days later) The Old Headmaster Albus massaged his pulsing temples as Phineas’s rickety voice rang out through his office. “See that, you old thing? My niece bloody did it! And your descendants have faded into obscurity, the best of them selling cold-cream for a living.” “It’s ice cream, you senile fool,” Dexter Fortescue thundered from another portrait. “And my descendants are numerous, with a great-great-grandson presiding over the Wizengamot. The last…-

75.Precipice of Destiny
17th Day of the 7th Moon, 299 ACDavos Seaworth, Tyrosh Tyrosh's walls loomed above the harbour, and the normally turquoise waters of the Narrow Sea had turned dark and turbulent–choked with bodies, smoke, debris, and burning ships. War sounded ugly and looked uglier still, but he was almost used to the sounds of death and agony, and the men around him were chanting with battle lust. "BARATHEON!" "LADY STONEFACE!" A glance at his charge made the former smuggler feel even heavier at heart.…-

74.Past the Precipice
14th of December 1994, Wednesday (7 days later) Narcissa Cornelius Fudge was by no means a pleasant man, but he was a clever one, at least where small matters were concerned. Useless fools could never climb to the top of the Ministry. He was an old hand at managing publicity, whether good or bad, and balancing the department heads and the warlock-lords of the Wizengamot. Dislodging him from the seat of a Minister was by no means easy, nor was it as simple as she had first thought. To…-

74.Of Bonds and Blood
7th Day of the 7th Moon, 299 ACSer Braxton Bulwer the Red, Outside King's Landing Ser Braxton Bulwer was a simple man, not one for overthinking or scheming. He was good with a sword and a warhammer, far from inheriting any lordships or even minor estates, so all he could do was put more effort into martial pursuits. Nothing awaited him in peace, aside from being a hedge knight and wrangling in tourneys with hundreds of others like him. He had almost sailed North to join the Watch and win some honour and…-

73.Shadows
27th Day of the 6th Moon, 299 ACThe Young Wolf, south of Crakehall Rage was a curious thing. Some men said fury ran hot like a raging volcano through the veins, while others claimed it cut like the frigid chill of a blizzard in the coldest days of winter. Then, there was the Lord of Barrowton, who received word of his son's ignoble death at the hands of zealots in the North. He did not say a thing then, looking like a statue more than anything, reminding Robb of his ancestors immortalised in stone in…-

73.For the Good of Wizardkind
29th of November 1994, Tuesday (2 days later) ??? The Dark Lord The plan to meet with the Italian Minister and control him in person had fallen through. Dumbledore had moved swiftly, notifying the ICW and even managing to make the slothful behemoth act quickly—Ettore Velenza was now guarded by twenty elite hit wizards from Africa, Australia, and the Far East around the clock. They were no better or worse than other veteran hit wizards where fighting and guarding were concerned, but each one…-

24th of November 1994, Thursday (5 days later) Harry Potter He ignored the thunderous cheer of the crowd and focused on the arena below as the first contestant emerged. The Quidditch Stadium had been completely remade and expanded. The seats were tripled in number, and each one was filled with wizards and witches coming to watch the Tournament. The grassy ground below was expanded and replaced with rocky terrain, dotted with miniature ridges, hills, and small chasms; a great spiked dragon…-

72.A Fatal Misstep
12th Day of the 6th Moon, 299 ACThe Bog Devil, Myrish Marshes The air was heavy with the buzzing of flies and mosquitos; the stilted smell of the marshland nostalgically tickled his nose, soothing Howland's taut nerves after the massacre. "Never seen man so small and so dangerous," Zolo's words came out stilted as he patted Howland's shoulder. His smile looked almost demonic as his copper-skinned face was splattered crimson with blood from the earlier battle. The self-proclaimed Ko of Khal Eddard…-
