Knights of Walpurgis // Tom Riddle

The candles burned blue the night magic changed forever.
Before there was a Dark Lord, there was a circle.
Not of followers-but of believers.
They were the heirs of ancient houses.
The last guardians of bloodlines older than Hogwarts itself.
And they were afraid.
Afraid of a world slipping from their grasp.
Afraid of extinction.
Afraid of him.
Tom Riddle did not ask for loyalty.
He offered purpose.
Behind locked doors and whispered oaths, the Knights of Walpurgis rose-not as servants, but as architects of a new order. Each bound by magic. Each hiding secrets sharp enough to destroy them all.
But power demands a price.
And when the masks fall, not all Knights will survive the brotherhood they swore to.
Some will become legends.
Some will become monsters.
And one...
will become something worse.
