The End and The Beginning

Simone could of never asked for more she had everything a person wanted, she had her dreamjob she always wanted, being a antiquarian could be challenging. Except that one day she meet the woman of her dreams Betty Grof, she was probably the smartest person she ever met it was like the perfect life and after 2 years Betty was her fiancee, after she found her biggest milestone in her job, the Enchiridion the book that shows you how to become a hero, she of course handed it over a museum and became respected by the world for finding one of the biggest discoveries in history, but she had no idea what she got herself into and how her life will change soon.

One day she was on a trip to North Scandanavia, she went along the big docks and looked for something interesting as something catched her eye, it was a golden tiara with three big red jewels on it and it seemed like something interesting, she walked over to the dockworker she assumed must of been at least fifty

"Excuse me sir could you tell me a price for that beautiful tiara of yours?" she asked looking down at the tiara again

The man spoke up "I assume you are very interested, since I have no use for it give it you for 2000$" he spoke calmly.

2000$ was a price she could pay as she took the money from her purse and handed it over as she picked up the golden tiara and put it in a cloth before walking away to search for more treasures Betty sure would like that.

Two Weeks Later

Simone got out of the car as she walked up to her house, knocking on the door as she held a bouquet of flowers in her left hand, it didn`t took Betty long to open the door for her as she was welcomed home, Simone felt happy that she was with her again as she handed over the flowers and they went into the kitchen to talk about what she had found.

Simone showed her everything she got and showed her the tiara and they were joking around as she put on the golden headpiece to make Betty laugh she started to giggle and Simone smiled until everything went black and the last thing she heard was Betty yelling her name like she was worried. Simone looked around but there was nothing but pure darkness, until she heard the voices that were telling her she has to accept her gift and that she is the hand of madness, the end and the beginning, she clenched her fists as she shouted at the voices telling them to leave her alone. She quickly took of the tiara as she looked at Betty, who was looking with such contempt, what did she do, what did she do to deserve this look, she would never know because after that she never saw her again.

a month later

A war that seemed to came out of nowhere destroyed cities and countries, almost everybody, leaving no winner Simone does not even know who started it, she previously started to record the effects the tiara was having on her body and mental health, anger issues and panic attacks combined with skin colder than a death body in winter and long grey hair that was growing over her shoulders was just the start, the latest change was that she lost the colour of her eyes so she grey instead of brown.

She knows this thing is changing her but she knows also she is too far gone. she walked around the wreckage of what she assumed must be Los Angeles as she walked around the streets, looking for a store where she could stuck up on supplies, however as she walked around she heard a child crying ยดHow is this impossible` she thought without thinking to much about it she walked closer to the child, his skin was grey and his hair was black like the night.

She walked over to a destroyed toy store and grabbed a stuffed animal for the child as she kneeled down and gently wiped his tears away, noticing his flinching at the sudden contact.

"I am Simone what's your name my dear?" she asked in a gentle tone.

The child spoke out quietly "M-My name is M-Marshall Lee..." He whispered as he looked at her, their eyes met as Simone handed over the stuffed toy as she stood up, offering her hand.

"It's better we stay together Marshall" she said as he took her hand "O-Ok b-but don't leave me..." Marshall whispered as they continued their journey through the wreckage of the world.

"Never..." Simone whispered more for herself.
