I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, a figure cloaked in shadow, exuding an aura of foreboding. The horse, an eerie shade of pale, almost translucent, seemed to embody the essence of mortality itself. Its eyes, dark and hollow, bore into the souls of those who dared to meet its gaze. Death’s skeletal hands clutched the reins with a grip that spoke of inevitability and finality. As the horse moved forward, the very air seemed to chill, the ground beneath its hooves blackening as though scorched by an unseen fire.
Following close behind this harbinger of doom was Hades, the ruler of the underworld, a grim companion on this apocalyptic journey. Hades, shrouded in a mist of despair, moved silently, his presence a stark reminder of the fate that awaits all. His visage was obscured by shadows, but his influence was unmistakable; the earth trembled in his wake, and whispers of lost souls filled the air. Together, Death and Hades formed an unholy alliance, their path marked by suffering and desolation. Their arrival heralded a time of great tribulation, where the natural order of life and death would be disrupted on an unprecedented scale.
They were given power over a fourth of the earth, their dominion extending far and wide. This power enabled them to unleash a reign of terror through sword, famine, plague, and the wild beasts of the earth. The sword brought war and violence, tearing communities apart and leaving lands drenched in blood. Famine followed, as crops failed and food became scarce, leading to widespread hunger and desperation. Plague came next, an invisible enemy that ravaged populations, leaving no corner of the world untouched. Finally, the wild beasts, driven by hunger and fear, turned against humanity, adding to the chaos and destruction. This grim quartet of calamities signified a period of unparalleled suffering and mortality, as the world struggled under the weight of Death and Hades’ merciless onslaught.
