For possibly the first time, the Charred Council has disappeared. There are no traces and no clue to discover. They have just disappeared. In a way, they have gone dormant. The balance between Heaven and Hell is unstable; war rages like it has never before through the skies, the land, the water. All throughout the known universe and beyond they fight, destroying everything. Humanity has grown somewhat back, but, with Heaven and Hell fighting once more, their existence is dwindling. Through the absence of the Council, the Horsemen appear. With no masters, they are lost, confused. Secrets lie upon Earth's surface. Secrets lie in the remains of a human farm, owned and worked by a woman who has no clue of the potential that she stands over. Secrets lie with a group of humans fighting to stay alive and provide a living for others. Secrets lie in a mysterious place inaccessible to many. And the people they meet? Only stuff of the legends. Though, what secrets the Horsemen shall find, no one knows. Darksiders Fanfiction Book One of the Dormant Series *Completed*

Basically, it's a fan-fiction of the Darksiders comics. I do not intend to infringe on any copyrights, but merely to build my own version of Vigil's series.

War is a Horsemen that knows no fear. He's been killed about FIVE times now; how could he be scared of anything? His brothers are coming; he saw them arriving to the destroyed planet. But he missed something. Melody. Melody is a sole surviving human that might not be one. She's too tough; she boxes demons and kicks full grown angels in between the legs like it's nothing. War has taken a vow to himself to protect her. Can he keep it? Death, oldest of the Four Horsemen, was sent against his will to Earth after he had just flung himself over the side of the Well of Souls. He is mentally torn and psychically he can barely walk. The souls of the Nephilim are gone- along with ever bringing them back from the dead for a second chance. What does he do when he finds a Nephilim that had been hidden for all of those years... And she happens to be the Nephilim that he used to have a soft spot for? Her name, Anna. Fury and Strife are twins, stuck in the middle of no where. Strife has no weapon that he calls his own; his two pistols had been lost to him for a while now and he has no idea where they are. Fury's just Fury, she's ready to go and kick the idiot who framed her brother. When they are summoned to Earth, they are separated and Strife gets kidnapped by Samael. He meets some... interesting people while he's away.

Death and Penelope had no idea they would share the same feelings together, but when the secret is spread, all Hell is let loose. ((This is a fan-fiction that I (for what ever reason) came up with at 2 in the morning. I understand people sometimes don't like Death from Darksiders being shipped, but hey, if you don't like it, don't read it. Penelope is my OC, and she is the love interest to Death. Also, my Darksiders friends, please don't hate me for posting something weird like this (also the fact it's Darksiders) it's just trial and error with my writing right now, e.g. I've never written romance before so I just did. Starts off fluffy, and doesn't push boundaries from everyone to mature.))

Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Only even the most powerful Riders in Creation have problems. Undying torment inside their heads. Release from the pain? No, nothing can stop it. Fury. Her name dragged through the mud and her body through thorns. Letting go made the thorns dig deeper. Overwhelming memories, they pierce his mind with poison fangs. Death's mask cannot hide his searing pain. Unending agony. His hood hides his face, and his strength is his only relief. Riffles and pistols take his mind someplace else. Shooting a target helps him forget HE was once the target.

The Balance has been broken. Corruption is spreading. For the eldest of the Four Horsemen, the future has been influenced by past mistakes that only he can correct. With his brother War accused of Earth's destruction, Death will do anything to prove his innocence. However, there are some things in Creation not even the Reaper can face alone. Battling alongside him is Carina, who has some tricks up her sleeve and a promise she's sworn to keep. With the forces of Heaven, Hell and beyond against them, how far will they reach in the corrupted lands they travel?

This story is seriously unedited and not my best piece of work, but I'll get around to editing it at some point.
