Year 234

"Eldurn! Just because you are an almighty warrior doesn't mean that you can go and battle some drunken men!" A white haired man told a man with flaming red hair. The red head also known as Eldurn laughed. "Little brother, don't worry so much?! Honestly its just a bit of fun. Come now, castiel It'll be fine." Castiel sighed softly and folded his arms across his chest. He was small and lean compared to his elder brother who was big and brawn with a wild of mane of red hair. Eldurn smiled"hmmm well ...fine I'll. ...whats that?" He murmured looking back at the house. The house that the two along with their other two brothers was up In flames."LEGNA!!! REGNAL!!!!!"Eldurn bellowed and raced up to tge house castiel at his heels.

They both burst through the door to find their elder brother legna fighting off two rogue warriors as their other brother regnal lay on the floor unconscious. "ELDURN! !! CASTIEL!!! GET REGNAL OUT OF HERE!!! GO HURRY! BEFORE THIS PLACE COLLAPSES!!" Legna shouted his black hair in his face. He blocked a death blow aimed at his torso as Eldurn picked up the fourth brother regnal. "Don't die in here legna!" Eldurn called to him and Castiel nodded to legna. They both ran out of th burning house.

Legna had sighed when he saw his brothers run out. He knew he wasn't going to live much longer. He glared at the men in front of him. "I known I won't make it out of here but.......that doesn't mean that I'm letting you out of here alive!!!" He shouted at them and lifted his blade and ran it through one of the men. Legna pulled his blade out of him and turned to face his foe when blade peirced his chest. Dark red blood dribbled from legnas mouth as he fell on his knees . He coughed and glanced up at the man who had impaled him. "Well......elder brother of the four warrior brothers. It seems it will now be only three....oh well. It seems you we-gah uh ahh!!" His words were cut off as a blade ran through his back. He slumped over t the side revealing a heavy breathing Eldurn. "Legna!" He cried and swiftly picked up his older brother and ran out the burning building.

Castiel was tending to a now conscious regnal whos orange hair was tied back. The two youngest gaped at their elder brothers."LEGNA!!!"Two cries came from them as Eldurn lay him down gently. Blood trickled down legnas chin as he looked up at his siblings. He smiled weakly".....I.........I guess. .... im done now....." he murmured softly. He looked at his siblings with slightly clouded eyes. Eldurns face was unreadable his fist clenched. Regnal was paler then usual his eyes wide. Castiel had tears rolling down hs cheeks. Legna sighed and looked up as the sky had turned grey. He chuckled a wet chuckle"well......if you guys aren't going to say anything, I love you....my three idiotic , amazing brothers.....hgnnn ah "legna broke off into a painful coughing fit. His breathing slowly stopped and his eyes closed. The three other brothers looked at him with wide eyes.

Eldurn shakily leaned forward and kissed his head"good bye ....my brother. ." He murmured. The other two began to weep silently as it began to rain upon them when a clearing of the throat rang through the air. The three turned to see ma man with bright blue eyes staring at them."I know you don't know me.... but I can offer you a deal. . I can reunite you all but you would have to become horsemen. .. " the three nodded slowly .the man nodded and stepped forward to legna. "First to die of the four you shall be known as the horseman of death. " legnas features automatically became pale and hi woud healed. The man then turned to Eldurn" the second eldest brother you are are a warrior aim it for your people so you will be known as the horseman of war." He then turned away from Eldurn As his features began to change as well. Eldurns hair became longer and more wild his body became more pale as well. The man then turned 2t regnal and said "the third eldest brother the one who is sickly the most you will be known as the horse man of pestilence. " Since regnal appearance was already pale he didn't change much. The old man then turn to castiel and said" the fourth brother you who care for others more than yourself I have come has come to the point where you were not caring of yourself you will be known as the horse man of famine." Castiels eyes became yellow and he glanced at his elder brothers. Legna still hadn't regained consciousness and the other two were staring at the man. The man simply glanced lazily at them"now... you four are to be known as the horseman of the apocalypse" the three nodded slowly their eyes wide. they all Were suddenly surrrounded by a dark vortex and a groan filled the air. They all looked at legna who hair had lengthened. But they all pAyed attention to the horse next to him. The horse was black as soot white spider like veins on is boy. But the most interesting thing about it was its wings. The horse also had red eyes as well."behold. ... the horse of death. " the man said softly. Three more horses appeared. One was black with red marks all on its body ts eyes a startling blue. Another orange and more sickly colors but still had its majesty and beauty. The last was white lkke snow its eye s blue as well."the horses of war, pestilence, and famine.. are here as well. Now then time to go." Eldurn bent and picked up legna with a sad smile. The four brothers suddenly dissappeared in a flash of light.
