“How dare you four go over my head?! I created you!” A thunderous voice scolds. Lighting flashed and four very different beings reflections shimmered in his eyes. No one spoke; only looks of confusion were glanced quickly between the four.
“No one will stand up and take ownership of their mistakes?” The voice continued, this time for flustered and shocked then appalled. Angrily he slams his fist into the marble throne, leaving craters where his fists had slammed. He forces himself up and glared down upon the silenced.
“Do you even know what you have done?!” A few moments of silence and some more confused and slightly irritated looks are passed around before being interrupted.
“War, I suspect it was you! Seeing as a few wars were set into place, but it would mean all of you are guilty because there cannot be wars without Death and Conquest! Don’t think that you’re out of the picture Famine; people are starving due to lack of resources from the war! You four went over my head and thought you could just take things into your own hands!? I am God, damn it!” He growls at War, Famine, Death and Conquest, his eyes burning with hell’s fire.
“My Lord, my brothers and I did no such thin-”
“Silence, War! Who else would have started this?! Are you telling me that you the Horsemen War, was not the one who started wars?! Do you think I am a fool?!” God stands before the horsemen but glares at War before turning.
He walks powerfully to a large fountain and looks down into the water, waving his hands before it. Instead of seeing a reflection of himself he sees wars, soldiers, starvation and the bodies of the fallen. Glaring into the liquid his hands clench tightly and no longer can he hold it back. He turns facing the accused and with a flick of his wrist the horsemen are forcefully pulled to him and the fountain. He doesn’t speak he just moves out of the way so the four may see what he has.
It was a wasteland of the deceased. Bodies piled upon each other, starving families wondering the drought-ridden land looking for recourses, survivors fighting and shooting one another due to opposing sides. Children cry, people die, and the culprits of this are unknown.
“So now…who started this?” God spoke sadly but you could still hear an undertone of fury as he now looks upon the four again. Once again there was silence.
The brothers looked at one another. War looked around at the three as the three stared at him in astonishment.
“Brothers, you don’t really think I did this…do you?” He stepped back from the line and stared at the three of them in shock. His eyes pan to God.
“Do you three; Famine, Conquest and Death, think that War is the one who started this?” God looked down upon them all, but he looked grimly at War in particular.
The room became static. No one moved and the air soon felt as if it was stale. You could feel the tension of the five; it was hot, but like that sticky humid heat that wears you out and drives one to insanity. Finally it was broken.
“No. War, would not have done this without talking to us.” It was Conquest that stepped forward first. His eyes staring back at the Lord and his voice unshaken.
“I agree with, Conquest. This is not something that war would do! Right, Death?” Famine looks towards the last brother who nods in agreement, but stays silent.
War returns to the line of his brothers and looks upon God, praying.
“Stop praying, War! I don’t believe any of you! No one else would do this! Your soul meaning is to bring the apocalypse to Earth! This was not the year to be!” He booms at the Horsemen and then sighs allowing his shoulders to sink. God closes his eyes for a few seconds before speaking.
“I have no other choice, none of you will give up the one who started this. Therefore, you all will be punished…” He looks at the beings in painful anger.
“I am sending you to Earth.”
The horsemen smile at one another and look to their leader.
“My Lord, is today the day?!” War smiles and tenses in excitement. His eyes look upon his brothers and notice they have the same look upon their faces…Except for Death; as usual he is hidden behind his hood. They all face towards God.
“No. Today is not that day. Today is a day though, a momentous day that will change history. Today is the day I send you to Earth and retract any powers or godly abilities you possess. I did not what to do this, but you four have given me no choice. I am done with this game…” God spoke emotionlessly as he looked upon the horsemen.
The faces of joy soon shrunk and went to confusion and shock.
“What?! What do you mean? You can’t do this!!” Conquest stepped forwards and glared at God. God was silent, his look stern and serious. No longer did he seem upset or angry…just disappointed.
He takes a few steps and stops before the forward brother, Conquest. The pair’s eyes staring at one another until pain roared up in Conquests chest. The Horseman looks down with his mouth gaping in pain as he screams. God’s hand is buried deep into his chest for what seemed like hours before retracting it. Conquest stalls and looks up one last time towards his Lord before falling to his knees in defeat.
Famine, War and Death stare at their fallen brother in astonishment and then look up to meet Gods eyes. God did not move he only held a glowing orb of blue that he shoved into one of his jackets pockets and then proceeds towards the others.
“Today is the day you learn there is always rules and that nothing is above me, for I am God.”
I have decided to write a story about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

War, Conquest, Famine, and Death are brothers. God, rules over all and has been preparing for a long time to send the horsemen to earth for the start of the Apocalypse but someone went over God's head and started a war without his permission. None of the brothers step forward to claim the wars and God has no other choice but to punish them all by sending them to Earth as mere humans to live out the rest of their days.
