Here comes the chapter 102 of The odds were never in my favour, The Fires of Judgement, which reveals what is happening on the second day of the Fourth Task.

Hope everyone will enjoy the scenes...

And yes, it is a big chapter (again) with 18,000 words, but as a lot of thing is happening, I don't think many readers will complain...

And yes, writing for the Harry Potter stuff is over for now. This week is going to be dedicated to the preparations for TWO. I have a lot of vicious cliffhangers and spectacular events to plan for...

I will announce with a new post when the writing will begin, I promise. Most likely it will be towards this week-end, yes-yes!

Great chapter! Can't wait to read it on ffn! I did have some questions though. The 4th seal was meant to convert Fleur? Or was it to set off the volcano/destroy the grail? And what was the purpose of the 5th? To get back a powerful connection to the plane of water? Or just use it to create an infinite source of water to cause massive floods? Also, I did think that the whole thing with drugging Fleur and Poliakov could've been explained a little better during the scene between them and Romeo. As well as the traps in the canal, I honestly thought some people were dying in there, but only one person seemed to die from the entire thing. Not as much of a bloodbath as I was expecting. I do however think that the plot twists you're pulling in this chapter + excellect background lor is really nice!

Noooooooo! Not the cliff hangers! Nooooooo!

Man that was good.

Few guesses for the end, from the least likely to the most: The Dark Fossil is taking the advantage to attack the Day when they are down on people and tired from the race, and to swift attention from them for a while - it's not likely it's the case: they already got several major victories this day and a straight attack is just asking for trouble. The Dark Fossil is luring the day out of the mansion to kill them in a clean swoop, while framing the Corpse Munchers - again, same reason as above: big victories for the day, being greedy would be unwise. It's Alex expending skeletons: Why would she? It's not going to accomplish anything. It's actually the Corpse Munchers taking a stab: Maybe? I thought Voldy is more intelligent than this, but given his performance to date...

Good lords..

Man found a copy paste and it just fits 40k so well. Own a Nova Cannon for home defense, since that's what the Emperor intended. Four Xenos break into my Throneroom. "What the Warp?" As my servitor grabs my High Lord-approved head-dress and hands me my cannon trigger. Blow a solar-system sized hole through the first Xenos and anything he's ever known, he's dead on the spot. Draw my Astartes-pattern bolter on the second Xenos, miss him entirely because its recoil alone blew my arm off at the shoulder. I have to resort to the virus bombs loaded at the top of the spire I live in, "Tally ho lads" the life-eater bug consumes two billion men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off nothing because I now live on a Death World. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified Heretic. He Bleeds out waiting on nothing to arrive since we are apparently now on Krieg.

So yeah ... That happened. - Fleur (got) turned from "Light(TM)" to fire ... I'm rather sure that will be fun in the future, especially for the Light, but it could very well be the reason that the Morrigan charactertested Alexandra to spare her. - The meeting in the first part was interesting and it could be a few people who seek help from the Exchequer and get relegated to Alexandra (?). The List includes people like: Snape (betrayed by Dumbles in some form), Moody (Dumbles doesn't want to spare a bottle of alcohol and set him up to die with the cursed position), Tonks (metamorph and betrayed by her mentor into taking up a suicidal position), Montague (see the modus operandi of voldie, dumbles and longbottom), Henri de conde (betrayed by Ra) and most likely a few more I do not think of - We have two seals getting activated in short order and both times the Light(TM) got humiliated doing so ... Yeah Ra will absolutely go bonkers soon. - Longbottom goes further off the deep end and is crying to Ra "The other champions are mean to me, do something!" - Longbottom to Ra - And at the end Voldie (and his followers) commit suicide. Apart from that we have a bit more Worldbuilding and the confirmation that Osiris wants Ragnarok, but what it entails and the reason behind it still elude us. "MY PRECIOUS!" - Ra as Osiris chucks first the grail into the Etna "From the depths of hell I stab at thee!" - Osiris as he harpoons Ra to stop him from rescuing the grail from an fiery extermination

Somewhere in this mess I can hear Bachs' Little Fugue playing in the background. Probably starting when Alexandria openly demanded Lulu to tell her about the second Seal being activated.

Jaco

So is the fourth seal completely active? Or is this only the start of what it is going to do?

Jaco

By that I mean was Urman the sacrifice that Morgane mentioned or will it be a certain other light champion *cough Falk *cough?

Thank you for the chapter! That was a lot of fun. The Exchequer's plan to wrest Fleur away and then turn her power from LIght to Fire is going to be interesting, and yeah, I agree with Cedric and the others, by the end of the task Neville is going to kill somebody which is going to be catastrophic for Dumbledore's faction back in Brittan. The Death Eater attack is going to have repercussions. With some of the Champions already locked up by the Doge, there are probably going to be losses and for all the manpower the Light has, they simply can't afford that. I am very interested in what the Exchequer is doing with that Water, though I suppose it's likely to be in a plan very similar to what they were doing with the Salamander. This tournament is getting more interesting, and the fact that we have implications that you can 'dethrone' your king is going to have repercussions, as I don't think Neville, even with this Grail enhanced abilities, is capable of forcing people to obey. Looking forward to more, and thanks once again!

Eagerly await the Weaver option post and the political calamity/drama we shall get to read

Thank you for the very interesting chapter. I feel the next chapter is going to be a long night for many people. The Day Court, obviously, will be dealing with the Death Eater (I'm not entirely convinced they're actual Death Eaters) attack, but Alexandra is going to have to get her own court in order. Lucrezia is on thin ice with Alexandra, and I imagine the other members of the Night Court aren't happy with her either, especially Lyudmila. And who knows what the Doge Court will do next. Thanks again.

So much happened on this chapter I am rather amazed it fit on one, rather big yes, chapter. I'm not that surprised that the exchequer has extras plans over extra plans being pursued. Rather than hitting two birds with one stone it feels more like many many plans all being crafted and executed at the same time. The fact part of Osiris's plans is to remake the balance between Light and Dark is so incredibly ironic. Specially since the fifth seal seems to be associated with water. Is he going to literally wreck another one of the powers of Light and substitute it with a champion of water ? And now we finally get to see why Fleur was spared. Thought now I'm very confused. Without a power of Life to balance Death won't there be even more problems in the long term when another god/godness of Death takes the stage ? The Morrigan might be worried about the balance but other powers of Death are notoriously antagonist towards life. With another champion biting the dust I'm increasing conviced the european tournament is not going to go for all the tasks, there is simply not enough champions of magic left until the end at this rate. Surprised Ra hasn't pulled the plug already with the Grail. I know he needs one of the Dark's champions to activate it but the DOge court seems primed to be attacked at this rate. That or the Night is going to be personally tracked at this rate. Finally we are going to get another chapter of TWO! TIme for some reactions to all the crazyness that happened. I would pity the Lords of Terra if I didn't already know Taylor was going to take a vacation on Terra to show her displeasure.

Thanks for the chapter. The spectacle is awesome although I am sure someone must be doing a city wide confundus to keep the muggles from noticing that the race involved magic. The first scene is very obscure. There really aren't enough clues to be sure who is involved. Based on Montague's panic at the end I suspect he was involved and just realized that the being in the castle that was referred to in the first scene is starting now. I'm shocked at the idea that the Exchequer is trying to turn Life into a Fire power. I didn't think Ra and Osiris has the power to transform the Powers. Thanks for the chapter! I'm looking forward to more.

One question that is bothering me. When the ritual of the thirteen seals was introduced, a big point was made that the Exchequer could not tell its people what to do because that would cause the ritual to fail. Malatesti was clearly acting on orders here. During the second task he might have been manipulated into doing what they wanted. The seal activations in this task almost have to have been direct orders. How come this didn't cause the ritual to fail? My best guess is this is one of those rules that seems to cover a lot but is actually very narrow. As long as the person isn't acting specifically to trigger the seal it doesn't affect the ritual. So, they can order Malatesti to do things which will activate the seals without any problems. As long as he is obeying blindly it will be fine. Is that right?

The catch, I suspect, is that Fleur Delacour was the one who broke the Seal, and no one told her what to do. This sort of magic seems to be the kind with lots of technicalities and hidden loopholes. If this Tournament has proved anything, it's that the Exchequer loves to use those for everything they're worth. The fact that Malatesti knew is at a remove from the actual act. Magically, it's little different than Exchequer conveniently arranging the Water Trial of the First Task. They couldn't have told him about the Seal he personally broke in the Second Task, that's almost certainly true.

Well… that just happened…. I guess Neville will be too busy with his Dark Lord problem to be of much use to Ra going forward. I’m also wondering why Alexandra and Lyudmila seem so against the burgeoning world order? Alexandra for her general pragmatism and Lyudmila for the chaos a new world order brings… If what we’ve seen of the Light champions holds, I’m guessing that Unity will be even more ineffective than Fate, Order, and now Judgement. They’ve shown that their Wisdom is lacking as well. I am curious to see what Fleur’s final form will be? She can’t go back to the light now… If the Exchequer is going to break faith, I guess Alexandra and Lyudmila will plan some personal surprises of their own going forwards… those two seem to be the most temperamental beasts of the Dark powers and they willingly treated with the Exchequer, only to have those plans shattered, better hope they don’t hold a grudge. Part of the reason I thought Alexandra gets on so “well” with so many powers is because of her pragmatism and an understanding of the personalities that come being a champion to a power. She gets that sometimes the champions and their powers can’t help but act in certain ways. Her most negative trait as Death seems to be holding a grudge, and some times that can cause a lot of trouble…

One thing I am curious of as I give this chapter a once over, is how long Lucrezia can keep playing both sides wrt Alexandra and the Exchequer. It's clearly bothering her and while I understand her reasons why(as does Alexandra) for supporting them, it can only be stretched so far, really

Arkeus

I am confused by Alexandra 's falling I to the trap of over estimating someone because he was played by someone else. Oh well.

chibipoe's library

The 'ritual of purification' done to Falk, etc. The spectator pov mentions Poliakov's voice getting weird

GhostAmp41

Thanks for the update Antony444! Also, Happy belated Birthday!

Elric

personally love the around 20,000 or more chapters

Eagerly await the weaver option chapter start announcement. All shall go according to plan hydra dominotus.

Nothing Alexandra does is unexpected or unprepared for by the Exchequer..so far. Which is to be expected, they are actually competent bad(?) guys...and she was told that if she messed up this task, she would be killed. But she still has to have an impact against them, and her planting ideas in someone else's head is brilliant. Very eagerly anticipating the next chapter. For Elendil!
