The Ephemeral Soul

Tom Riddle's perspective. Have you ever wondered what the Dark Lord's past was like? Have you ever wondered what Tom was like before he became the infamous Voldemort? We know he grew up in an orphanage- but what was it that really shaped him into who he became?

Note: This story follows cannon plots and details, though I added some of my own details and ideas. This is not a romance story. It is a take on how I believe Tom Riddle grew up and what he was like and why he became Voldemort. It is not intended to shine a good light on Voldemort- but rather it is meant to open up different perspectives and invite debates.

Warnings: Some violence, though mild and not graphically described. Sensible themes.
