The day of the blood moon marks the rein of the horsemen. On that night the leader of every civilization shall be slain and the gates of heaven and hell shall merge and apocalypse shall rain down upon the lands. Four warriors (War, Famine, Death, and Revenge) will ascend from the fiery pits of hell and bring forth plague and destruction upon the lands.

They began their campaign of death and destruction in Los Angles, which they renamed as the city of the damned. For four years, they reined with an iron fist of death and destruction until they decided to leave their castle walls and venture to the far away lands to conquer and destroy.

As they went War killed all they saw, Death ate their souls, Famine scorched the lands, and Revenge condemned their souls to wander the limbo eternally. As a result this created fear and insecurity among the people. Eventually they started killing each other while hell’s warriors watched. Nations went to war with other nations while at war with themselves.

All the armies crumbled under the warrior’s feet as they were subject to humiliation from their own people. It got worse by the day. By the end of the first month every major city was reduced to ruins. Mankind along with every other species on the globe was becoming extinct. Two years passed, the warriors’ duty was coming to an end.

On the forth night of the forth year of the apocalypse it all came to an end. The sky turned black, the rivers turned to blood, and the ground became white and silty as if holding the ashes of all the dead in the past century within the sand.

On the last night of the apocalypse the warriors descended back down to hell and the apocalypse was over. The next day everything was calm and there was no signs of war being waged anywhere. The only thing out of the norm was the giant crack in the ground in which you could see only a flicker of the flames that are hell.

That night an angel named Lucifer came to the people and told them all was done and not to worry. That night, around midnight, the people heard a tapping on their roofs, but dismissed it as rain. Sure enough, one solitary person went outside and what he saw astounded him. At that moment, life, as he knew it, ceased to exist. Armogedon was upon us.
