Tom Marvolo Riddle Novels & Stories

“Let’s see. What’s the riddle?” Looking at me, Dmitri said the riddle, “In the darkest forest, where secrets grow, I hold the key to the power you seek to know. My pages whisper of ancient might, But only the chosen can read by night.” He smirked, continuing, “What am I? I thought for a moment, the answer coming to me. I turned to Aveline, who was looking at me with hopeful eyes. “The answer is shadow tomb.” Dmitri’s blinked, “How do you know?”

At the far end, servants unrolled an enormous scroll and placed it on a stand, the parchment filled with intricate writing and symbols. “This,” Varric said, gesturing to the scroll, “is the Labyrinth Riddle. An ancient puzzle written by the first High Seer of our kind. Solve it, and you will prove not only your wit, but your ability to untangle the threads of fate itself. Fail… and you are unworthy to continue.” A ripple of shock moved through the hall. Serena’s smirk faltered, though she quickly masked it. Varric continued, “You will each be given the riddle. You may work alone, or seek help from those who stand with you. But know this: speed alone will not grant victory. Only truth will.”

I don’t know—she looks too at home, too settled, like someone who knows her seat at this table won’t ever be taken from her. She snaps her fingers lightly at the maids to get her a plate.

Nope, I am not overreacting. ‘Mummy’? MUMMY?!!! My brain short-circuits. My eyes dart to Roland, waiting—hoping—to see a flicker of shame or discomfort. Nothing. His face is a slab of marble. Unreadable. Cold. As always.

That was Rivens end goal. Riven did not look at Virel. Ari was close, Riven closed his eyes briefly. “I’m sorry.” Ari’s breath caught. “What is this?” he asked again, softer this time. Mara stopped beside him. Her gaze moved from the silver ring on the floor to Riven’s face and she understood. “No,” she breathed. The word echoed. Ari’s gaze followed hers downward to the ring. Recognition slammed into him like a physical blow. He recognized it. He had read about the Ritual and had seen pictures online of what the ring looked it and what it was for but no one believed it actually existed, even him.

25 / 47 Kayo pockets one shard “for interest.” It still ends up in my bloodstone five seconds later. Team 4 – Superior Bathhouse Cellar (Al, Frankie, and the ghost mob) Ghosts can’t be reflected. The sorcerer never stood a chance. Tommy guns made of pure memory chew through his wards. Three more shards. 28 / 47 Team 5 – Maurice Catacombs (Rowan Vale solo) Rowan doesn’t fight. He just walks in, says one word in a language older than Shambhala, and the sorcerer drops to his knees weeping.
