CH 1 - The Beginning of the End
In a place between somewhere and nowhere, there was a being existing in a state between something and nothing. They was not the first of this kind, not the most powerful. But they were the most influential, the most present. Something between man, and woman, human and monster.
No. Not even that. It had a name. Many names. It - he, was no monster. He was a creature of blood and fire, a demon, devil, a jinn. Even a god to those crazy enough to accept him. He was known by many names across universes and times, most commonly - Satan. And it is with him our story begins.
He was not what the mortals thought he was, not the red-skinned, horned caricature they made of him. He was something far older, more intricate, an entity born before the chaos of creation as we know it. His form flickered like a flame caught in the wind—changing, shifting, sometimes a man, sometimes a shadow, sometimes a thing of pure fire or an echo of something forgotten. But there were constants. His eyes, for one. Those deep, endless pools that seemed to contain the weight of all things—unforgiving and full of knowledge.
Those eyes were now studying the borders of his realm. Earth. Centuries ago he had established his dominion over the realm of man, but he had not truly been there since before the fall. Now the time had come. He looked at earth feeling compelled by a mysterious force greater than himself, his head turning, guided by the hands that pulled the strings of fate. His calling from that point on, was engraved into his being, his soul if I dare say he had one. And with that, he accepted his fate once again, and smiled.
He could see it now. Earth.
But it was not the Earth he had left behind so long ago. This was a new world, a world fractured by time, corruption, and the hands of those too blind to see the forces at play. It was a world on the edge of something—a precipice—teetering on the brink of something dark, something dangerous. He took another step, and the world around him twisted. It was as though the very air, the very time itself, bent at his will. Earth’s sky rippled like water, the stars dimmed, and the winds whispered his name in ancient tongues. He turned his gaze toward Earth, his eyes glowing with the weight of infinite ages. The world trembled beneath the weight of his gaze. This was no longer a realm of simple mortals - it was time for him to learn more about his kingdom.
