Barth's Whisper: HOTD SI Ch.29
Chapter 29The Red Keep had never been so chaotic in years. The maids and the servants were conflicted on whether to mourn the loss of the King, or question the Crown’s actions against the young Healer who had once helped them all.Many did loathe Galen, for the closure of the gates and the ports which had been ordered to be opened again by their new King, yet as rumors and whispers of his ghastly condition in the Black cells spread, they also began to remember his kindness.Kindness that had spared few within these Halls and the city, and so as...

Chapter 26SIRIUS BLACKA day had passed since Sirius had returned from the Black Family gathering, and yet despite that, he still had no idea what exactly he had witnessed in those Halls. He had truly dreaded going to the Black manor, expecting himself to be the centre of attention, but it was nothing like that.His name had barely even come up at all except at the end, when his grandfather had cryptically anointed him as the heir, though how legal and binding it was, was still debatable.“So, they didn’t pay any attention to you whatsoever?...

Chapter 31HIKARI HYUGA“Each team will be given one scroll,” the proctor explained as the teams were gathered at different entry points around the Forest of Death, as they waited for the second Exam to begin.“Your mission for the exam is to collect the second scroll, and then make it to the central tower,” and as Hikari scanned the surroundings, he began to wonder about the impact that he might have had.The number of teams in the second portion of the exam was fewer than he had expected, nor had Naruto gone and delivered a tirade about m...

Chapter 93JON STARKWar was here, and so was their King. Despite the weather and roads, Cregan had ridden day and night to make it in time for the final battle, and now he was here at the wall leading the gathering of men and women into battle.Yet he had not come alone. The Targaryen Princess had ridden with him, intrigued by the whispers of white walkers and family. She had come to him, seeking kin and advice, only for Cregan to remind her that there was yet one more Targaryen still alive in the world.It was a name they had long forgotten, and ...

Chapter 25ALDER EVANSThe Longbottom manor was as large as a castle, and for good reason. The place had been a castle before, and yet the Longbottoms were as compact as a family could be. Currently the castle was occupied by but a few old servants, that cared for the estate, Augusta Longbottom and Frank Longbottom.Frank had lost both his parents a few years ago to some esoteric disease, and so silence and pain had lingered in the Longbottom manor ever since. But no more.For now, the castle was filled with the giggling of young girls, and the con...

Chapter 30“You two will go to Konoha,” the command came from the shadowy figure who led the secret organization known as Akatsuki, and any other shinobi would have run away in fear by now, yet the two of them did not.For they were not regular shinobi.No, they were S-ranked monsters, who could level a village on their own.“And what is to be our mission?” spoke one of the pair.“Are we going after that Snake again?” he asked, and the leader shook his head.“No. Your mission is far more important than that,” and at that, a butterfly ...

Chapter 28GALENOne would think that Galen was responsible for his current condition. That he had failed in seeing through the machinations of the court and its grey rats once more. Yet they would be wrong.The plague had stretched him too thin, but he was not truly blind to the noose that was being tightened around his neck. The propaganda. The whispers. The slurs. All of them reached his ears.He knew of them and knew of the mouths they were being uttered out of. Knew that it was not just the Maesters working against him but the Faith as well, w...

Chapter 24ALDER EVANSAlder had forced Lily to come back to their home for three, and now he was the one regretting that decision. He had done nothing to earn his sister’s scorn, yet Petunia cared little for reason as she chose to blame them all for her troubles.A part of him sympathised with her, and yet she refused to see any semblance of reason.He had spent the past two days trying to make her see some sense, and yet she was adamant about ruining her life, and so there was little he could do to stop her.In the end, days passed, and soon eno...

Chapter 29The newest member of Team Kurenai knelt in front of the Head of the Foundation as he gave him his report.“The mission is complete, I am now officially a part of team eight,” he reported.“Good,” and it had been one of Danzo’s suggestions, which Hiruzen had accepted. A rarity nowadays, given that his old friend had begun to turn down much of his advice these days.“I do believe that you know what your mission is,” he asked, the glasses-wearing operative who nodded.“I shall deliver the Hyuga girl to you, as per your order,...

Chapter 23ALDER EVANSThe Evans were no royalty, but the family was comfortable enough. Their father worked in the banks, and Mrs. Evans was simply a homemaker, though she did have a bachelors and a half finished masters in Botany, which she had refused to take up despite his constant urging.“So how was school?” asked their mother, as she poured in a mouthful of bubble and squeak into his plate, and the simple English dish was one of the few he tolerated along with fish and chips, which was also on the table.“It was good,” added Lily div...

Chapter 28Kurenai found her team to be far more forgiving and stronger than she had thought. Despite the death of Sakura, they did not blame her and accepted her back without a word.They shouldered the burden of her death on their own backs and were determined to improve themselves. This strength and determination moved her, and she could not help but support them in this journey.So, she helped them. Taught them all that she could, yet despite their combined efforts, they faced a great hurdle in their dream of making it to the Chunin Exams. A h...

Chapter 92“You fight the war before the swords are drawn, for after the steel is out, it is no longer a war, but a battle instead.” King Cregan StarkJON STARKThe fire raged on. It raged on despite it being half a day since it had first begun, and now as the Sun rose in the skies once more, the green flames of Wildfire still rose high into the air as the armies began to reach the Wall.The Northern armies had come first, led by his own father as he brought over twenty-five thousand strong men, armed and ready to lay down their lives for the o...

Chapter 27Garlan was tired as he knocked on the doors of another house. He had barely slept in the last few days, as he toiled to help his saviour and friend. Garlan owed his life to Galen and was happy to do anything he desired of him, whether it be cleaning shit from sewers or asking questions and inspecting homes.Many feared death, but Garlan had long come to accept the shortness of life and considered his life a gift from Galen, who had saved him from Greyscale all those years ago.The door opened, and he saw a woman staring out at him.“Hi...

Chapter 22ALDER EVANSThe plan for taking down Lucius and his group was easier made than executed. The Map and the Aurors were one part of it. As a few weeks passed, he was able to narrow down the location of their usual meetups, and they met nearly every week or every other week in an abandoned building at the edge of Hogsmeade.Thankfully, Voldemort had not thought it worth it to ward the building against any intruders, so Alder had simply slid out through one of the secret tunnels one weekend and to visit the building so that he could move ont...

Chapter 27HIRUZEN SARUTOBIDays turned into weeks, and the passing of the genin girl turned from news to memory. A profound and ever-present memory. But the world began to move on, and once more the genin began to head out on missions, with greater caution and understanding of the dangers of the shinobi life.Jiraiya’s presence had also eased the burden on him, as he found himself mentoring Minato’s son, so that he would not lose control to the Bijuu bound inside him. It also gave time to Hatake to focus a bit more on his other two students, ...

Chapter 21NARCISSA BLACKIt was rare for Narcissa to be surprised, yet her first trip into the Muggle World had truly left her with nothing but surprise. Ever since she had been young, Narcissa had been taught that the Muggles were nothing but savages, and their existence was meaningless in comparison to witches and wizards who ran the world.And while not believing it entirely. Narcissa had thought them different. She had thought them primitive. And while they were different than witches and wizards, primitive they were not primitive.They lacked...

Chapter 26KAKASHI HATAKEKakashi sat under a tree, as he watched one of his most troublesome and knuckle-headed students practicing his taijutsu against a tree bark, and for hours now, Naruto had been doing nothing but simply attacking that tree bark mindlessly as he tried to cope with the death of his former classmates.The death of Sakura Haruno had lit a fire under each and every genin of this generation, and while initially they had been a bit non-serious, as they failed to understand the dangers of this world. That naivety had been pushed ou...

Chapter 91TYRION LANNISTERFor years and years, Tyrion had watched Cregan toil without any break as he tried to steer the realm in a very specific direction. The realm had seen many Kings before it. It had seen brilliant kings, patient kings, pious kings, cruel kings.Yet this was the first time that the realm had found itself a cautious King.Cregan worked harder. Harder than any King before him, and he asked his advisors to work just as hard, and now the time of war was upon them. Or better yet the times of wars was upon them.They had all rejoic...

Chapter 26DAEMON TARGARYENThe Red Keep had never been more empty in his life than it was now, and as he walked through the Halls, he saw but a dozen servants, all working tirelessly as the capital reeled from the devastation of the plague.It had been more than two moons now, and now hunger had begun to seethe, and the people all grew disgruntled and angry. It was not only the people that raged, for lords and merchants and magisters had lost thousands, they had lost families, and if the rumors were true, the Crown was much nearer to losing some ...

Chapter 20REGULUS BLACKRegulus had always desired this. The two of them, standing there, face to face.But he had thought that it would long remain a dream, because Regulus was the perfect son of the family. Quiet. Smart. Docile. That was what his mother wanted of him, and anything else was unwanted and undesirable.Initially, he had basked in that attention, that affection, for he had been blind to the poison that it came with. The poison and the expectations of servitude that went beyond just filial piety.Sirius’s rebellion had turned that af...

Chapter 25In the Konoha Hospital, Asuma Sarutobi walked into a room carrying flowers as a beautiful woman sat on the bed staring out the window, as a vase lay beside her on the bedside, filled with fresh Sakura flowers.“Asuma,” she greeted warmly as the man smiled as well.“Kurenai,” he returned the greeting as he walked up to her and gently put the flowers by her side.“You don’t have to do this every day,” she told him, her voice weak and raspy as she looked at him with those guilt-ridden red eyes.“I do,” he replied warmly as ...

Chapter 24HIKARI HIZASHI“Sure, go for it,” and that was not the answer he was expecting out of their sensei upon telling him of Ino’s request. He had thought that the man would offer to dissuade Ino from the notion, or worse, be offended by the idea of him training her.Yet the smile on his face told an entirely different story.“You are okay with this?” he asked, and the Sarutobi jounin nodded as he took in a big puff from his cigarette.“Yes,” and he could think of a dozen other objections. Ino was strange in the sense that her pec...

Chapter 25GALENThe Maesters were making a fool of him, and he was tired of letting them do so. They had promised him their full support in front of the Prince, but he did not trust them. Not any more.So, he had to find new allies to do his legwork. Allies, perhaps not as competent as the Maeasters, but loyal and dutiful. He reached out to Garlan, hoping that he was still in the city, and his prayers were answered when his old friend came to visit him along with a dozen other people.Some faces were familiar to him, some were not. They all sat in...

Chapter 90BENJEN STARKHe had known that such a day would come.They had all known this at the Wall. Many had wondered why the builder and their ancestors had built such a monumental structure, wondering if it really was just intended to keep away the wildlings.He had wondered this as well, until he had learned of the truth. And a bleak, and troubling day that had been as he confronted the Old Bear in this very fortress, and asked him of the truth.And now the entire realm knew of it.And so did the ten thousand or so men gathered in front of him. ...

Chapter 18ALDER EVANSAsking out Narcissa Black on a date was a huge gamble. He half expected the girl to refuse him, so he was quite surprised when she did show up. He had already made a few reservations, and so he led her to the newly established Madam Puddifoot’s café, even though he considered its styling an affront to his eyes.“The Private sitting please,” and the woman smiled as she led them to the stairs.“Just up ahead,” and so with her on his arms, they climbed the stairs and reached a private booth with closed-off curtains fo...

Chapter 23SHIKAMARU NARAUntil this day, Shikamaru had spent his time sauntering through life. Doing the bare minimum, as he tried to live life to the fullest. He was smart. He knew that, and so did everyone else around him, and so they hardly bothered him when they saw him lazing around.But for the first time in his life, Shikamaru could hardly find it in himself to sit down. Because of the circumstances of their last mission, their team had been given a week off, and no one was willing to rush them out of this rest.Before, he would have simply...

Chapter 17ALBUS DUMBLEDOREDumbledore had made a mistake years ago. A naive mistake, made in the years of his youth as he lost himself to his anger and fueled a dream full of hate and anguish, a dream which would die for him, but would live in the heart of Europe’s most feared Dark Lord.It was through Gellert that he understood the power of aspirations and influence, and so he chose to make amends as he followed his dream of nurturing young minds. He promised to do better. Be better, for he had already sinned greatly.Yet he had failed again, a...
