Prologue

Bodies littered the battlefield as four men on horseback sat on the fringes of the aftermath of another slaughter, a testament to their combined power and fighting prowess. Each man alone, a warrior in his own right, but together, a seemingly unstoppable force raining down Armageddon on all of their foes. A single man, or so at a glance he seems like a man, strides through the mixture of blood and mud, calling forth the souls of the fallen and offering "deals" to the dying. Lucifer created the horsemen, they serve their purpose well. What started as whispers in the wind has quickly transformed into nightmarish stories and is slipping into legend... Times were hard, but it wasn't always this way for these conquerors of men. This is the story of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and how they came to be.
