The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse

Chapter IX: The Start Of The End

In the same woods that Ajax found the sword. He practiced his skills day and night. "Like this?" He asked the spirit of War as he swung what seemed wildly, but was controlled. He took down the tree in front of him in one swift swipe. "There, you have the basics down, you'll naturally gain everything else as you go longer. Maybe even some new stuff." Said the spirit. "Cool. I'll train every day" replied Ajax. "Good. You'll need to." Said the spirit. Things got weird after about two days weird disappearances started happening in where all the horsemen lived. The spirit of Death realized these and saw what was happening. He called a meeting with the others. Later that day, they all met up outside Antonio's house again. "So" Death started" as you may have realized, things are happening. Bad things... The nephylim are returning..." "WHAT" yelled War outraged. Famine and Pestilence spirits just sat there as did their reincarnations. "WE KILLED THEM ALL. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF ANY LIVING LEFT. THEY ALL DIED, MOST BY MY BLADE!" "No, War. Not all. We needed to keep few alive because if we failed, we needed a follow up plan. Those who could pick up the pieces. So we made a pact, they survive under our protection in return for whatever we may need." War stormed off in a flurry of red. Famine and Pestilence were still very confused. Death breifed them on the war and negotiations between then and the remaining nephylim. A far away explosion notes Wars location. Famine and Pestilence's spirit were also confused as to why they had no knowledge of this. "You were too young. It would have been too much for you two." Death said. "Now go while I think all of this over." Ana and Neyly left as their horsemen spirits returned to them as Death returned to Antonio. "Be careful." Warned Antonio as the others left. They nodded in both acknowledgement and agreement. "Be careful out there. Even though I'm with you, you're not strong enough without proper knowledge of how to fight the Old Ones. As I am just a spirit now, I can't do much without your human form." Death warned. "Then teach me" said Antonio as he summoned Harvester. He could feel Death smirk "Very well then. You're an ambitious one now aren't you." So everyday, Antonio trained behind his house. For the final battle.
