《THE DARK ENIGMA • TOM RIDDLE》XCVII. The Prophecy
Advertisement
Once we arrived back at the manor, Bellatrix bowed and took her leave.
I glance at Tom before taking the prophecy out of my pocket. "Well, let's see the reason why dumbledore decided to mess with Harry and I's life so much."
I sit on toms desk as he stands across from me.
Tom puts his hand on the prophecy, murmuring something before the orb glows.
"The ones with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...
born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...
and the Dark Lord will mark them as his equals, but they will have power the Dark Lord knows not...
They must come to an understanding for neither can live while the other survives...
the ones with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...."
The glowing dies down as the prophecy reverts to how it once was. I glance over at the wall, stuck in my thoughts.
"I think I have an idea on what it means." I conclude as I look over at Tom.
"Me aswell."
"For the first line 'the ones with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...' I think it's referring to when Harry and I vanquished you as baby's."
"The second line is pretty self explanatory while the third 'and the Dark Lord will mark them as his equals, but they will have power the Dark Lord knows not...' marking us as your equals must mean our scar." I pause to tap my lighting scar. "And the 'power you know not'... I'm not sure of yet."
"I think I have an idea on what it could be, but I'd have to double check." Tom explains as I nod. "The idea is that I speculate that Lily did a blood ritual which stopped Voldemort from killing you two all those years ago."

"That seems accurate... however the fourth line 'They must come to an understanding for either can live while the other survives...' Im pretty sure they used the words 'live' and 'survive' given the fact that they're a difference between living and surviving."
"And the last one, just because you two have the power to vanquish me, doesn't mean you actually will." Tom explains as I nod.
"Dumbledore was stupid for thinking this meant your downfall." I comment as Tom nods.
"He was getting desperate to end the war." Tom explains as I nod in agreement.

ARMOR
I was created as the ultimate dungeon trap: a living suit of armor that devours any adventurer who dons me. My master created me for his entertainment, leading adventurers to ruin and betraying them at the last moment. This time will be no different. Or so I thought. Now I'm living the life of an adventurer. Hopefully, my companions won't realize I'm not who, or what, they think I am. *Now updating Tuesdays and Thursdays Additional tags I couldn't include: Romantic subplot This story is meant to be a book rather than a serial, there will eventually be an ending. It is also my first book length work so while I intend to do my best, mistakes and issues will occur.

While The Parents Are Away
I just thought it'd be cool if we got to see the children of the Gaang go on an adventure together. We have Linzin pre-canon, and of course lots of family feels... The adults still make an appearance here and there.

Agros de Mortis
Are things ever so crystal clear in life, those of us with experience know that it can be considered a blessing to have such a straight forward path in life. Sometimes things go right, sometimes something occurs that was simply never imagined. Sometimes life seems to flow so quickly but sometimes it just seems stuck, cursed to repeat itself. Cycles upon cycles we see around us, but perhaps in only a moment things change. Can this be stopped or do we even want it to be stopped? Are things always as evil as they seem, or are they so similar that we find it painful. Come visit this little spot and decide for yourself what you interpret this is... _________________________________________________ This fiction is a mix of many things and for simplicity sake is the story of one man's rise to power in a fashion fit be called a demon lord. Ever read all those novels where you get a here is this bad guy we called you here to go deal with by the power of our god so here is some magic and training go kill em. Here is the other side's view of their rise to power in a fashion that perhaps seems evil, perhaps not. Is our MC truly that evil or is he simply following what he feels like is best for him, who is to say that he is truly a blight aganist the gods for surely it is not so simple in life. This will have some elements of dungeon building but it takes mostly a back seat to things as a background thing, a weak to strong theme well yeah but it won't really be personal power since we are doing what is essentially nation building. Don't worry there will be no romance as a main theme, if you find any it is unintentional or simply a very minor element overall, hopefully won't be any of the social/relationship gender issues from last time for those that read my first ficiton since that really is not what I want the story to be about. Progress in story is a bit of a mix of fast and slow I felt overall for the story, time skips were short and things piled up quickly then calmed down before building up again. Not sure how I did with characterizing and writing some concepts but at least I wanted people to think a little. Some attempt to keep things realistic to a degree considering you know magic since I wanted a bit more depth to things. Come check out the story and decide for yourself how you feel about some things.
