Tom Marvolo Riddle Novels & Stories

She had already slashed one considerably. I moved towards the dealer but his eyes were fixed… not on me but on Mara, his mouth opened in a chant that seemed to burn the air. “Mara! Get DOWN!” I roared, just as the spell ignited. He flung the charm forward, it had a sickly smell and a purple colored light going towards Mara.

The door to the hall opened, a man entered the hall. He moved like shadow even though he was over 7 feet tall, he was wrapped in a dark cloak that was the color of shadows and it flowed behind him like he commanded the wind. His hair was raven-black, falling just past his sharp jawline, then his eyes like frozen silver swept over the room like he owned it yet did not want to be here, and for one terrible moment, he locked with hers. My breath caught, then my heart stuttered once, then resumed in a faster rhythm. I could smell him. Ash. Pine. The unmistakable scent of moon-kissed fur and pure lust. I don’t believe I have smelled anything more exotic.

Rowan stepped in, his glare pinning Livia to the earth even more than Thalia’s hand had. “She made it through. That’s what matters.” Next came the riddles, delivered by Bryndis with a tone that could freeze sunlight. Thalia stood before her, shaking a little, trying not to let her nerves—or anything else—show. Bryndis’s eyes glittered. “First riddle: ‘I am not alive, but I can grow; I don’t have lungs, but I need air; I don’t have a mouth, and I can drown. What am I?’”

The murmurs in the hall grew louder, whispers spreading through the air like smoke. “A human actually has a blood-bound partner?” “Absurd.” “She’s lying. Humans lie when they’re desperate.” “Trying to provoke Lord Tom. What a desperate gamble.” Tom’s gaze was fixed on me, cold and disbelieving. “Rowling,” he said slowly, as if savoring a bitter name. “Do you really think fabricating a fantasy will sway me?” His gaze swept over me with undisguised contempt.

A third crouched, grabbed Enzo’s jaw, and said with a grin, “He’s dead.” They lifted him like a sack of grain, dragging his body toward the exit. Blood smeared across the polished floor, each footstep heavy. My vision blurred, sweat slick on my skin, heart hammering against my ribs. One of the men stopped directly in front of the table, his mask hiding his features but his eyes... a cold, calculating glint, rising to meet mine. He lowered his hand, adjusting a silver necklace that clinked against his chest. The emblem on the pendant caught the fractured light: a snake and a dragon coiled around a sword and shield.

The moral dilemma had been simmering beneath the surface for weeks, but it finally broke into the open two days after the gala. Elena and Cassian sat in the study with the full detective report spread across the table between them. The documents were damning clear evidence of Richard’s direct involvement in the accident cover-up, the payments to Mara, and the contingency plans to silence Elena if she ever became a threat.

On his black bookshelf sat a comic book collection that would make Kiaan jealous as well as books with symbols—some of which she recognised from Damien's jewellery. "So from what you said, it sounds like you guys were trying to summon an Alastor," he said as if the solution were obvious. "Exactly what I was thinking," Jess joked. Malus laughed. "These things usually last for a limited time." After going to his shelf and selecting a black covered book. When he opened it up, Jess saw it was full of handwritten script and drawings. He licked his thumb and flicked through the thick, off-white sheets. "Ah, did you notice if there was a full moon at the night of the spell?" he asked.

That is perilous, said omem. ‘I don't remember the spell!’ Maddie felt panic raging through her body. She hated seeing Raven like that. The strong Raven, kneeling on the ground like a victim, in a kind of twilight zone, with a gaze in his beautiful blue eyes. The fire in the copper bowl had almost died out, as quickly as it had flared up. Rodolf had seen bookcases at the enterence and hoped there was something that he could use. Esmee went with him to help him with the search.

‘Rodolf looked at him incredulously. ‘Just read it,’ said Raven, ‘the solutions are there!’ ‘Yes, but gray magic? Why didn't you ever say anything about that?‘ ‘It's not black Rodolph, it's all going to be fine,’ Raven promised. He said that if Rodolf no longer needed the booklet, he should give it back to him right away. 'Raven?' 'Yes?' ‘And that ring? The weapon on that ring, with that full moon with wings in front of it? ‘

mumbled Matt as he nibbled some chips. “They were known as the strongest magi in the history of all creation!” Xander added. “Sadly, there has never been any record of a known sourcerer in existance, aside from the Golden Prince of legend, and the last known Ravant, Lady Chantrell Ravante, just passed away last week.” The room fell quiet as they paid their respects to the deceased registrar. It was only broken by a soft chime. Mar took out her cellphone and looked at Dorin after reading the message on the screen.
