The Noctiphany Terror •Tom Riddle•

Prologue

The Creation of a Goddess

The fiery sky descended with the setting sun, but for him, there was no beauty in it. He sat there, on the very edge of the Earth, the wind tousling his long, dark hair, the fading light sculpting his sharp features and painting him as a god. Because he was.

Yet his divine appearance contrasted the glacial depths of his soul, and not even the sun's warm rays could thaw the ice within his heart.

Only when the wraithlike silver disc ascended into the lonely, dark sky did his soul stir. His eyes remained fixed as she emerged, rising from the platinum glow of the sea.

He watched her step out of the tranquil water, her white dress clinging to her form, her onyx hair falling in waves down her back.

For a moment, when her grey eyes met his cerulean ones, the world fell silent, as if the very fabric of existence sought to warn them. Even Time itself slowed, aching to show them that it was foul.

But they couldn't hear nor see other than each other. So they reunited once more, and as their lips met, the sky tore apart, and the earth trembled in horror.

When they finally parted, the sun began to rise from the water, bathing the world in light. The sin was already committed, and silence consumed them once again.

They walked away, smiles lingering on their lips, blissfully unaware of what they had just created.

A child of mischief and sorcery, burdened with glorious purpose.

hi 🩵

After far too long, I've finally returned to finish this story.

For now, I've gone through and revised every chapter, polishing the paragraphs, adding new scenes, and removing others. While the core of the story remains unchanged, I recommend rereading the first 12 chapters to see the changes.

Also, as English isn't my first language, feel free to point out any mistakes I might have made. I appreciate it!

This time, I've chosen to give the world a much darker perspective. Discretion is strongly advised.

As always, the Harry Potter universe and its characters belong to J.K.R . I've only created the female protagonist and several original characters. Please note that this story does not follow the original plot of the books.

The story blends not only the magical universe of Harry Potter but also incorporates elements from world mythologies, particularly Greek and Scandinavian mythology. I'll provide explanations for these concepts through notes at the end of certain chapters.

!!! This book contains graphic violence, self-harm, suicide, drug abuse, PTSD, explicit content, profane language and frank discussions of controversial topics. !!!

I will handle these subjects with as much care and sensitivity as possible, but please be mindful, as some content may be upsetting.

I will not tolerate hateful or shameful comments, so please express your thoughts in a civilised manner, otherwise, your comment will be deleted! You are free to criticize my work.

Thank you!
