“Four horsemen of the Apocalypse, Well I wouldn’t call us the riders of the end but I can always say my group and I Can cause a lot of chaos when needs be. My parent’s told me Stories of the original Hero’s of the past, An assassin of the name Zero, a dark Elate that could kill you in an instant. She had a crude sense of Humor in her days, but she wasn’t the worst to be around. Then well of course next to her was her companion a reaper by the name of Ziro, she was the more joker of the group of them, using her two scythes she hand crafted during the elaten wars nothing could withstand their powers. Alex the knight introduced them to their powers, the ultimate abilities a being can learn about themselves. It could be deadly or it can be holy in a sense. Lilith the master castor and my personal goal to reach, was advanced for her age only a third through her life and she was a grand master at the Elate mage college. Who can forget about Kali and her friend Wisp. Those two were inseparable until the end. Oh Who am I you ask? What you don’t know of the four horsemen of the apocalypse? Hmm I see your kind of new to the whole story board I guess… Here let me just Show you.”

“I’ll take you too a nice little battle I ran around with my group.” The area fades to black then a few blinks later is set to a small skirmish between a group of the four horsemen and a group of bandits. “Oh yes I love this skirmish, it was when we perfected our form! Well as good as it can be really.” Fire bolts flung through the field as you are brought to a ground view of the battle. Hearing a rumble behind you, you look behind to see an army of skeletons and dead running through your ghost of a body. “Oh oh that’s Daniel our summoner of the group he likes to focus Mainly on summoning the dead to help us in battle! It’s like super cool.” As the dead are fighting off a group of bandits two very large chains appear out of know where and smash into the group smashing all the bandits and skeleton alike.

“Lily come on we talked about this no giant metal links on allies!”

“Right right, I keep forgetting about that rule Daniel! On your left!”

“That there, that’s Lily, she can summon a single large chain or 3 smaller chains to destroy things or capture them on the battle field, she also like me strived to be a hero and took on the role of a reaper class. But she has a giant fucking scythe to compensate her small figure if you know what I mean.” She giggled as Lily smashed through a dozen or so bandits, them seemingly coming from no where at this point. A loud smash can be heard as a bandit brute was thrown over the two and into a wall.

“Mmm Jacob what fine piece of human structure I say. He likes to use his fists to do his talking so battlefield talking really isn’t his strong suit…” As she finished talking the tall man threw another bandit in the air as it suddenly burst into flames and exploded. “Oh oh oh! That’s me! By the way my name is Fiona. Welcome to the world of Eon!”

*The battle raged on with explosions a plenty as well as fire and undead too but more importantly the four horsemen finally make due with the bandits.*

Jacob: Well to be honest I thought they would put up more of a fight. I barely got scratched.

Daniel: Likewise Jacob

Lily; Wait where we fighting again? Oh no did I hurt your guys again Daniel?

Daniel: yes and no but you are getting better at it.

Fiona: Guys you hear that?

Everyone: Hear what?

As the group turned their heads to the sound Fiona was pointing towards a large figure which obviously seemed to be the Bandit chief of this group emerged screaming and laughing like a manic and charged the group.

Fiona: And well bartender I think you know the rest.

Bartender: Yeah, you killed the dude chopped his head off and sold me his armor to pawn off to the local smithy. And here, these are on the house for getting rid of those bandits Fiona.

Laughter uproared through the bar as singing began to be heard. The bartender gave Fiona a stern look.

Bartender: Look, I know it’s not my place but… well I got something big for you guys if your interested.

Finoa: Big? Explain old man and maybe I’ll listen.

The bartender leaned in close to Fiona’s ears in order to be more discreet to her and the others around her as he let her listen

Bartender: Well the saying is that the king of Veil has recently received several assassination attempts and he needs body guards and hitman to retaliate against his attackers. The cut is 20 gold per unit and 100 platinum for killing the person who set it out on him.

Fiona quickly moved the bartender to the side to not avert attention.

Fiona: 100 plat?! We can buy new armor supplies and a home base in the inner circle of Veil with that much. Who else have you told this too?

Bartender: No one but you knows for now at least, the king said the bounty will be going live in a few days, that new bounty guild moving in is starting to run Jolder’s out of business, do us some good and take the bounty first Fiona. Please.

Fiona: Sure thing man, Let me grab my team and head over there now, I think the king will be happy to see us.

Letting the bartender off with a smile Fiona whistled for her allies slapping his shoulder Fiona promised to take the bounty. The group now aware of the reward set off for the castle to set an appointment with the king and his royal guard for the assignment.

Lily: What would I buy with a 25 platinum? Hmm let’s see. Obviously a new house and a new robe im thinking purple, this blue one is getting dull. What about you Jacob?

Jacob: Me? I would spend my portion setting up monastaries outside cities as civilian checkpoints like safety nets and all.

Daniel: Please you would buy new gloves to punch stuff in, me personally, would spend my portion on new spell books and get into the Elate grand mage association so I can learn from one of the grand masters.

Fiona: These are all good, I would like to just see Lilith the grand Master of the academy. But first we need to actually get the bounty before that hunter guild does and move out as quickly as possible.

Everyone else: Right.

Jacob: She does have a point though I say we hurry and afterwards lets get some lunch before we head out, it’s not safe to hunt on an empty stomach as they say.

They all agreed as the castle came to view. The large Marble building was as magnificent as always however the normal greeting was meet with the honor guard. These Men and Woman were no joke in the guard, Clad in full platinum Armor and weapons with large Shields they are only brought out in cases of major emergencies. The assassination attempts must have caused a great uproar in the community. As Fiona walked up to the gate’s she was stopped fifteen feet away. Slamming her fists at the lever the gate opened up as the head of security came out with a board and quill.

Head Guard: Alright! The four of you step forward in a single fashion line and answer my questions with honest straight forward answers. Any failure to reply in time will be a denial of entrance and any source of violence will be meet with an implosion by our mages and archers!

The four were obviously shocked and Fiona stepped forward first out of the four and was a bout to speak before she was stopped by two guards and pushed back. Yelled at now she backed up and let the other three walk behind her as the instructed too.

Head guard: First off the Elate, I already don’t trust you, so why don’t I ask you a few more questions then the others will get.

Fiona: Okay

Head Guard: Alright, What are your intentions of entering the palace?

Fiona: Well for me and my group we are here to seek an audience with him.

Head Guard: What for?

Fiona: We seek an audience to help the King with his protection from the Assassins.

The head guard looked at the group, The two humans elf and Elate were a weird combination of people but she nodded writing down some notes.

Head Guard: Okay, Next what is your name, age, and class of unit

Fiona: Age 78, Name Fiona, Expert Castor

Jacob: Age 30 Name Jacob, Class Brawler

Daniel: Age 39 Name Daniel, My class is a necromancer

Lily: A..age 18 Name Lily… Class… Lancer unit

The Head Guard looked at her papers and nodded to the group. She was impressed that the lancer girl lily was so young yet was filled with anger and hope.

Head Guard: Okay you will get to see his Highness however you will be accompanied by my four Knights here including myself. So follow me you four and we shall talk to the lord about this issue.

She lead the four horsemen to the chambers of the lord himself, As they did they passed the legendary weapon Bastal Locked away behind a case of glass. A weapon from the far past from a legendary woman. As they walked through the doors to the chamber, Inside was a young man next to him was his grand guards, clad in gold armor and platinum weapons. The king stood up in his seat and clapped to the horsemen.

Harold: My god finally! Someone who isn’t a guard or assassin!

Fiona whisper to Jacob: He seems happy to see us? Does he even know why we are here?

Harold: Are you here for the bounty? The.. the one I sent out yesterday? About the… the issue?

The group looked at each other. Fiona spoke up from the group to answer the King.

Fiona: You mean the assassination protection Bounty, we thought it hasn’t been released yet.

Harold: What! You mean the papers have not been sent out yet? Monica Whats the meaning of this!

Head Guard Monica: I’m sorry sir we will force the papers out right away!

The guardswoman ran out of the room with her Guards to hand out the bounties Jacob then spoke up to the lord.

Jacob: So, if I may sir. We are here to take that bounty for ourselves before that Bounty hunter guild does, if you can just give us the details to said bounty.

Harold: Ah yes! I must explain of course. Well as you already have known my life has been threatened day in and day out by this group of assassins and their leader. I haven’t been able to get a good nights rest and decent meal in weeks! Listen I need you four to take down this organization before one of them bastards succeed at killing me! Please!!!!!

Lily: Alright, alright we got it, but sir.. what’s the pay?

Daniel: Yeah what is the pay for something of this magnitude.

Fiona: Yeah the bartender told us it was 20 gold a piece for the protection and 100 plat for the killing of the leader.

Harold: huh you guys know your stuff… tell you what, since you all came to me even before the papers got released, ill throw in an extra 20 platinum for a total of 80 gold and 120 platinum for your group.

The four where wide eyed and jaws dropped as he added even more money to the pot. Lily seemed the most excited if they did this she would get 20 gold and 30 platinum. The money was definitely worth it and they all agreed to do this. The King explained what they needed to do next.

Harold: Alright so I think I have an idea of who might want me dead. Mostly it would probably be General Carter, he has had a grudge against me since I took over as King of Veil instead of him, However I can’t leave the castle or spare any guards to check him at his castle checkpoint near the mountain Ruins of the Torrent mountains. There is a small garrison of Troops that are extremely loyal to him so if he is the one he would most likely use them against you. Lastly he is a master of tactics so you already know what I am going to say.

Daniel: Yes, he could somehow set a trap for anyone who takes this bounty.

Fiona: My thoughts exactly.

Lily: Bad man, hiding in a castle… Ill send my chains to ruin his day.

Jacob: Why waste your mana when I can just punch him out of that castle of his.

Harold: Yes yes, you are all excited to help me however you need to take some things to be able to remain undetected by him until you are close enough to take him out. And if anything goes wrong just well, fight your way out.

The group nodded and it seemed as if the conversation was over as they turned to head out of the castle to gather information about Carter. Harold Stopped them before they left.

Harold: Wait! Um for short instead of calling you by your names one by one what can I call you for in the books?

Fiona looked down and then back at the King.

Fiona: Call us the Four horsemen.
