Chapter 41

Immediately, several beams of bright orange phaser fire lanced out at us. Dax and Tuvok threw themselves to the ground, but I stood firm, throwing up a mystical shield and then transfiguring the deckplates into a chest-high wall using Potterverse Magic for good measure. The transfiguration gave Tuvok and Dax some cover, though the phasers failed to penetrate my mystical barrier. I chuckled at that, shaking my head, until I spotted a Vulcan with a pair of disruptor pistols turn from the fight ...

Chapter 10

I sat in my Council Chamber waiting for my various advisors to show up. Uttu was already here, of course. She stood next to my throne in her purple silks, an expression of supreme confidence on her face. Chen was here as well, my First Prime standing at attention, waiting for any hint of treachery from any of the assembled Ministers. Eventually, however, all of my Ministers and Generals had arrived, Luoshen in her blue silks, Chíguó Tiān with his Lute, Lu Dongbin with his baijiu gourd, Kui...

Chapter 5

It started as we made our way down Willow Street in Japantown, heading back to El Coyote Cojo in the Glen. As we were driving along in V's Yacatecuhtli, a pair of Tyger Claw Gangoons rolled up alongside us on a pair of fancy Rice Rockets. Yaiba Kusanagis, each one sixty-six grand and not an eddy less. I could appreciate an expensive ride, but then one of the pendejos had to just go and pull iron. He leveled his TKI Shingen Submachine Gun at the car and I knew then that we were in for it.

Images for Chapter 24

Here are a few Images for Chapter Twenty-Four I made with one of the AI Generators I'm using. Unfortunately, it's not quite so good with soldiers and whatnot, so I may have to go hunting when it comes to making images of the Rebels. We'll have to just see how that turns out.

Hopefully, the images are helping you guys to picture the various people and places in my various fics. I thought they were a decent idea, anyway. Let me know if you'd rather I just stick to writing chapters, though...

Chapter 24

As Bikki and Company made their way out of Khamdo City, it swiftly became apparent that the Komodo Rhinos could not keep up with Ayai, the swift-footed Reindeer-Goat was just plain faster than the mounts that were brought from the Fire Nation Proper. Meanwhile, while the Wolf-Squirrels that the Tsenpo had provided were fleeter of foot than the Komodo Rhinos, they were nowhere near as surefooted as either the Komodo Rhinos or Ayai. The whole procession must have looked like a motley collection...

Chapter 82

I took Kensou out tonight, though sadly, he didn't have a Fake ID like I did that would let him get into Bars. We found that out real quick as we tried to get into the local Samoan Joe's, a Chain Tiki Bar that'd recently opened a location in South Town after expanding into the US and Canada from Britain. The bouncer had taken one look at Kensou's ID and shook his head.

"I don't read this Japanese Stuff, but if he ain't twenty-one, he ain't getting in." Grunted the Bouncer.

Interlude: King's Landing (Wartime)

As Stannis' Forces crept closer and closer to King's Landing, and the blockade of the City cut off food supplies from the rest of Westeros from coming into the Capital, unrest began to grow in King's Landing. A city of three-quarters of a Million People, King's Landing has swelled by half again its previous size in just the past few years. That growth has been lauded as a major achievement at the tail end of King Robert's reign, bolstering the local economy and the tax revenue of the City. It...

Chapter 26

As November progressed and turned into December, I focused more and more on my studies. Magnus Gamp seemed intent on ensuring I had a second-year's level of comprehension of the subjects he had been retained to teach me and trained me relentlessly. So much so that by the second week of December, I had finished the Second Year Curriculum in Charms, Potions, and Defense. Our spars didn't stop either, and he even cranked up the intensity, adding variables to our spars by transfiguring terrain ou...

Chapter 51

The Regentskapsråd, as it turned out, was more than just a chooser of the Prince. It also governed in the absence of a Prince. Not very well, as it turned out, but it still governed. As the day went on, the structure of a typical session of the Regentskapsråd revealed itself to me. The day-to-day business of state would be taken care of as a priority, and then there would be a round of voting for the prince to finish out the day's schedule. Hence Regentskapsråd, or Council of Regents in pl...

Images for Chapter 7

Here we have images for Chapter Seven. Most of them are AI-Generated, I know, but I made the flags for Chieftain Ahohek and Baron Keloss myself. That's actually about the limit of my capability with digital art, and the only reason they're that good is because they don't have any fiddly bits to deal with. You guys should see me try to make a map sometime, shit gets fucked real fast.

At any rate, I'll have updated character sheets before the next chapter, along with sheets for Selima and...

Chapter 7

The Maztican Pearl was an Amnian Caravel, hounded by the Sahuagin that called this area home and wrecked upon the rocks. The only hint of the crew that had once sailed this formerly proud sailing ship were the weathered, sun-bleached, skeletons that lay scattered around, bones marked with toothmarks from the gnawing of the Shark Men, a hint of the fate that awaited any who resisted the current masters of the depths in this area. Mind you, those who surrendered likely didn't fare...

Chapter 40

As I waited for my appointed advocate to arrive, I began using the Dragon Pulse and the Force to try and suss out how this part of the base was staffed, while also attempting to use my powers of Comprehension to attempt to figure out if anything in the room would help me to escape. All told, I was able to sense four guards in the next room over, two who felt like they were on guard, were standing outside the door, and two who seemed more relaxed who were a few feet away. Aside from them and T...

Chapter 23

Shi Hou and Evening Rabbit made their way out of Tashkek at speed, hoping to put enough distance between themselves and that Baazaar of Scum and Villainy as possible, so that when they were forced to eventually stop for the evening, they would be far enough away from the City that the Sons of Sextes Jylis would not be bothered to hunt them down. After all, they still had local rivals to deal with in the Sewer Rats, alongside Arslan Beg's group of Guild Aligned Thugs and whatever resistance th...

Chapter 16

Prepping to go out to New York City and fuck with the sorta Voodoo shit that Papa Midnight can do ain't pretty. Jackie'd hadta really dig into the blood and guts of the Dragon Parts to really get shit going on that count. He'd wound up using a pretty grisly charm of dragonhide inked with mystic ink that'd been brewed up using dragon bile. The process to make it all stank so bad they coulda smelled it all the way on Mount Meru, but in the end, he'd had a charm that should protect him from all ...

Chapter 49

I awoke silently in the middle of the night to the sounds of rummaging going on near my camp desk. My command tent was, effectively segregated by hanging curtains between my work area, quarters, and meeting area. Looking over at the tent flap that led out into my work area, where my camp desk and rack of scrolls were set up. I noticed a reddish pool on the packed earth floor and hushed whispering as shadows cast by torchlight flickered over toward my camp desk as whoever had decided to intrud...

Images For Chapter 25

All right, here we have a few images for Chapter 25. Blaise in one of his more casual outfits, Daphne, Tracey, and Millie in their Quidditch Team Fundraiser Outfits, the Tebo Duster, and the Mokeskin Pouch. I plan to keep doing AI Art since I can't draw and this is less scummy than stealing art from DeviantArt. Plus I think I've gotten fairly good at the AI Art Generator Prompts since I started.

At any rate, expect the next batch of pictures to be of some Magical Beasts and such. I have...

Chapter 4

I made my way over to El Coyote Cojo the day we were supposed to meet up and head over to Vik's Ripperdoc Clinic. I was dressed as usual, except I now wore my Armored Vest over my usual Santa Muerte shirt. At the same time, I had my normal weapons replaced with the stuff I'd tinkered up and had my various home-grown Chrome Enhancements ready to be slotted into me by Vik once we actually made our way over there.

Thankfully, I didn't run across any gun battles between the Valentinos and S...

Interlude: White Harbor

The Port of White Harbor was packed with ships. Not just trade ships looking to fill their holds with White Harbor Broadcloth, but the War Galleys and Dromons of the Manderly Fleet, with their four-pounders and bombards. Dominating the naval docks was a single Nau-Style Carrack, the Merling Trident, which was the flagship of the Manderly Fleet and stocked with six and eight-pounder guns purchased from Lord Seawynd. Standing on the deck of the Gilded Merling, the trade cog on...

Chapter 25

I woke early the next morning, not out of any real excitement to go see the Quidditch Match, but to get my preparations for the day done. I would need my Family Concealment Cloak if I was to save Harry from the fall that would wind up killing him without anyone knowing. While I was certain that Voldemort could lend Quirrel some level of Occlumency to be able to resist the inbuilt effects of the Cloak, I very much doubted that it would be enough to see through it. Not with his link to Quirrel ...

Images for Chapter 50

All right, here's a bunch of images for what Reykjavik, the Houses of Government, and the Key Players in the Regentskapsråd look like. I know it's AI Art, but this is better than stealing from a smaller artist on the internet and then charging for access as Patreon does. This is less scummy.

Plus, I'm actually starting to get fairly good at AI Art Prompts. At least I think so. I'll tell you what I'm not good at, though. Drawing things myself, even using like, Paint or something. Hopefu...

Chapter 50

Reykjavik was a massive city, one that could fit the entire population of New Ålborg inside it one and a half times over and still have room for more people. My Grand Duchy, for all the planets it had, was sparsely populated enough for that. I thought my own capital at Ny Roskilde was impressive since I'd built it up to be the equal of Butte Hold when I'd reconquered it from Redjack Ryan. Five-hundred-Thousand people in an Industrial City that produced anything you could want. Ny Roskilde ha...

Ministers and Generals of Erlang Shen's Court

All right, here we have the Ministers and Generals of Erlang Shen's Court. These are just the top level of people in the bureaucracy, the ones who would interact with Erlang Shen himself. There's a whole swathe of Directors managing departments under these Ministers and various secretaries and undersecretaries beneath them, but these are the ones you ought to know.

There are a number of eccentrics and abnormal Goa'uld among them. Kui Xing, for example, is an Abnormal Goa'uld who once pa...

Chapter 9

I'd been called to the comms center of the palace by my Jaffa. Apparently, they'd caught Canens sending some sort of message and wanted me to take a look so I could make a call on what to do with it. Of course, they hadn't yet decrypted the message, but they had intercepted it. They were hoping that my particular genius would be able to figure it out and had kicked the issue up the chain of command accordingly.

For my part, I was fairly certain I knew exactly what this was. I had shown ...

Images For Chapter 6

All right, here's the images for Chapter Six. Yes, I know, more AI Art and AI Art is bad. I keep repeating myself but I'll say it again. It's less bad than stealing the work of small artists from the internet who can actually draw. You know, since that's not a thing I can do.

Unfortunately, there's no level-up in this chapter. The Sahuagin just didn't bring enough forces to raid a single ship for that to happen. Not with the Ship's Crew in the fight as well. That means no updated charac...

Chapter 6

The Isles of the Jannath's Tears Archipelago were spread out in a sort of inverted triangle. The Easternmost Island was Cadfael Island, it was closest to Baldur's Gate and thus attracted a large amount of trade of all kinds to Caer Jannath, but it wasn't the only Island. To the South, forming the tip of the inverted triangle was the Island of Seahearth with its population of predominantly halflings concentrated in the port of Heartharbor, a harbor town set into several, rolling, hills along a...
