Beyond the Vezhral Wall, two worlds breathe in opposite tongues. On one side lies Serathane-a city of gilded chains, where faith is law, magic is caged, and obedience is the price of peace. On the other, Azhirath-vast and feral, where power answers only to those bold enough to take it, and magic runs wild as the beasts that roam its streets. Luelle Menken was never meant to cross that wall. Tom Riddle was never meant to let her stay. Yet when her flight from a cruel fate pulls her into his chaotic realm, they find themselves locked in a game where every glance is a weapon, every word a bargain, and trust is the most dangerous magic of all.

⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ || 18+ don't read if you expect soft, out of character Tom. In 1953, one dark prophecy once again emerged; a riddle of power and destruction, of a vessel that would reshape the world of magic. It was said to be a soul bound to life and shadow which, upon its awakening, would crown a ruler who could cast the world into chaos. When dark wizard and now Professor Tom Riddle, aged 27, reaches the clue of the prophecy that may alter his search for power in the wizarding world, the clues bring him to Belarus, to the prestigious grim Vodyanaya Academy of Magic steeped in ancient secrets. Among the students, one stood; a 19 year old witch, Vespera Smirnova, unconsciously strong and attached with nature mystically, yet unaware of her ancestry and fulfilling all characteristics described within the prophecy. Posing as a teacher, Tom enters the academy for the sole purpose of finding out the truth and claiming this power, which he believes is his destiny. But the deeper he goes, the more the prophecy unravels, threatening to change not only his plans but the fate of the magical world itself. - art by lessiedraw.ou ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
