The wind howls through the frozen wasteland, a relentless force against which Tom Riddle has battled for years. His journey ends here, in the heart of the ice, driven by a hunger for absolute power. Shivering, he stumbles into a cavern, his wand lighting a fire that casts long, dancing shadows. The flames reveal a startling sight: a statue of a girl, crafted from stone and crystal, seeming to breathe life. Suddenly, a voice breaks the silence. Tom turns to see a young woman in furs, holding offerings, her eyes locking onto his with quiet intensity.
