In a universe where myth and reality intertwine, The Beginning of an End follows Asmodeus, the demon of lust and desire, whose centuries of decadence and detachment are disrupted when Loki, the Norse trickster god, breaks into Hell. Their meeting-accidental, fated, or divine mischief-sets off a chain of events that threatens the balance between all realms: Heaven, Hell, and Asgard. Loki arrives bearing a prophecy: that he and Asmodeus are destined to ignite the apocalypse. Torn between disbelief and fascination, Asmodeus lets the trickster live, a decision that slowly erodes the order of Hell. What begins as suspicion and rivalry between two beings of chaos turns into an unlikely bond-a connection that blurs the lines between friendship, defiance, and forbidden affection. Think Good Omens meets Lucifer meets American Gods but darker, queerer, and much more sarcastic. ****I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com****
