20th of October, TuesdayHarry It became increasingly difficult to swallow his frustration; not even his monotone training and studies provided any relief. Even the anticipation of becoming an animagus dwindled as no thunderstorm arrived, and he still had to religiously do the sunset and sundown chants until one appeared. The tedium had its way of sucking out the joy of things. Regardless, he was no closer to finding Riddle's diary than he was after the Malfoy summer gala. There were no clues besides…- 477.2 K • Ongoing
- Year 129 After Aegon's ConquestJon Stark Returning without any fish, all solemn, had not evaded his household's attention. "Where are you going, m'lord?" Aethan asked, cautiously eyeing him as Jon regarded his collection of Velaryon armaments that had remained untouched since it was stored in one of the cellars next to the kitchen. "Usually, you fish until much later." "I do, but I was rudely interrupted. Now, I am going for a hunt," Jon said, picking one of the spears that had belonged to the…

- 10th Day of the 4th Moon, 299 ACThe Bog Devil, South of Pentos The burden of command was no longer upon Howland's shoulders, and everything was right in the world. Sneaking, scouting, tracking, assassination, or even fighting in the marshland were his strengths, not leading a group of unruly Northmen. It was a double relief that his friend was back, and it no longer felt as if they were cornered with no way out. After the Pentoshi had refused to let them in the city, Eddard Stark grew more aggressive…

- 'Year 301 After Aegon's Conquest saw Aegon Blackfyre venture east with ships and basic crews begrudgingly granted to him by Shireen Baratheon. His passage through Lys was met with cold indifference; his presence in Volantis only received hostility from the populace, who blamed him for the city's misfortune and the ruling Archon, who was afraid of being usurped.Many of the Essosi seem to have taken his abandonment of claims upon the Iron Throne as a sign of weakness. Yet time soon showed it was anything…

- 2nd Day of the 5th MoonRobert Baratheon, the First of his Name The king awoke, and his throbbing head made him scowl. He couldn't help but feel old - ten years ago, he could spend three days feasting, drinking, and wenching and feel as spry as a stag in the morn, yet now only a single night had lain him low. His feather bed was already empty; the wench from last night had been sent out of his quarters as soon as he had finished. Five years ago, he could have bedded three at the same time for thrice…

- 1st of November, Friday Harry awoke with a groan and immediately regretted it. It felt like he had wrestled a dozen rounds with a mountain troll before being chewed out by a dragon. Half his body ached as if he had overtrained himself, and the other half was just numb, but the feeling of bone-deep wariness was weighing on him like iron shackles. Even his eyelids felt like lead, and after a short struggle, Harry finally opened his eyes, only to be met with a familiar ceiling - lacquered rafters of…

- Beginning of June 1993Harry Potter "We don't need to trust Dumbledore to use him," Juno said when he shared his conversation with Helena Ravenclaw. "What we can trust in is his commitment to stand against the Dark Lord." The two of them gathered in the Chamber of Secrets again, the lone desk joined by two sofas and a lacquered ebony table laden with snacks and steaming cups of tea prepared by Wally. Harry never imagined this dreadful place could be cosy or welcoming, but Juno managed to make it…

- 130 ACThe Dragonslayer Jon crawled onto the rocky shore, gasping for breath and shivering. The earlier tension had drained out of his body, leaving weakness behind. His limbs felt heavy, and his joints groaned painfully with each movement. His innards felt like someone had stirred them with a ladle, and the skin on his hands and chest was burned by Vhagar's searing blood earlier and still stung. It was not a terrible burn, but Jon knew it would leave a mark—yet another trophy of survival upon his…

- 21st Day of the 9th MoonThe Hand of the King Ned did not think it possible, but the heat had gotten even more unbearable, with the city overflowing with people. It was as if the thousands of visitors brought the heat and damp humidity from their homes. Even the shade provided scarce relief, and he felt like he was swimming in his sweat. Aside from the heat, things were mostly going well. The first day of the tourney saw Gorlon Pyke clinching victory at the axe-throwing, and Rogar Wull won the…

- 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.…
