Prologue

~~~~~~~~

Wax slowly dripped from the red candle. The soft glow issued from it guided the man as he wrote. The man paused.

"Yes...it is time. I will kill him, then take over. I will be the one who no witch nor wizard could speak my name without fear. Yes, I will kill Tom Riddle, and take over as the new Lord, Aquilus."

He read his letter to himself:

~My dear,

You will not want to help me out, but you must unless you want to suffer. Tom's days will be limited.

All my love,~

And he signed his name.
