My 1st Darksiders story. Things that happen in some chapters might be similar to "Like u would care's" Darksiders story 'Childhood'. Itold him that nas he didn't mind, but I'll try and make it as original as possible… sorry
Oh yea... Here the age system is... weird. Say is Death is 7 years old now, he'll look like he's 14. That stops at a cretin age.
I own nothing and sorry for the grammar mistakes.
CH. 1 Beginning
The Nephilim never really had a home. They were always on the road, living in one place for three or less years and then moved on. It was always the same. The reason for that? Demon attacks. They found them everywhere. Why were the Dreads of Hell looking for them? A simple reason… fear. The demons feared the power the Nephilim had and what power they might get as they live on.
And so, one day, they found an abandoned village in one of the realms. For some reason all its inhabitants have fled, but they did not complain. For a time, this will be their new home. But as the years went by, no demons came after them. With that, the Nephilim were able to finally settle down for more than 3 years.
A few years after they had settled down, the first horseman was born. The loving mother, Agony, and though but caring father Wrath. They named their first son Death. And so, the story begins.
Agony was dilated to have had a boy as her first child. With that, he would take care of the other one. Hence, Nephilim usually had one or two children. It was quite rear to have three.
As for Wrath, he, when Death reached the appropriate age, thought him all the skills he knew. And what all the training made the father see, is that Death was a very gifted boy.
During a training session, Wrath told his boy: "Son, you must be the most gifted boy in your generation. That is why you will start school tomorrow. There you will meet more of your age. Do try and talk to them and make a few friends."
"Of course father. I do hope it will be interesting," the boy smiled.
The next day, Agony was preparing breakfast when the other two men came down the house.
"Ah so you are awake," she smiled as her husband gave her a kiss.
"Indeed, but I must be off. Death be good at school today," he said, grabbed a bag with his lunch and walked out of the house.
"Are you nervous honey?" the female asked as Death sat on a stool.
"No. Father said that 'nervousness' clouds your thinking, which leads to not reacting in time, to getting killed in a battle," he answered bluntly looking at her with his yellow eyes.
"I-I see," she uttered and smiled.
"Well here is your breakfast, but you will need to eat it at school. You will miss the first class otherwise," she added and handed him a paper bag.
"Alright, bye mother," he said, kissed her on the cheek and ran out of the house and towards the school across the street.
Death walked through the hall of the school. It was large and a bit crowded. He noticed the many doors with names like 'weapons classes', 'Math', 'sorcery', 'history' and a few more as he walked to a brown board on a wall.
"My first class is realmgraphy" (like geography but of the realms) Death said to himself, but he was pushed out of the way by another male Nephilim shouting: "Out of the way, Blaze is here."
"Hey!" the to-be horsemen said but someone grabbed him arm and pulled him away from Blaze.
"What are you doing? I was just about to-" he started but was cut short by the man.
"Yea that's why I stopped you. Blaze is a real asshole but he has lots of friends. You do not wish to fight against them all," he said.
The man was bulky and seemed the same age as Death.
"Well you seem to know this well… I am new… fine… But what is your name?"
"Me? I'm Absalom. And you would be?"
"My name is Death," he said and they shook hands.
"Nice to meet you," Absalom said smiling.
"Like wise. Perhaps he will me my friend…" Death said the first part to the Nephilim while he said the other one to himself.
"Well what's your first class?" the bulky man asked.
"Realmgraphy," he said bluntly.
"Oh me too. Let me show you to the room and later the others. If you want to anyway."
"That would be appreciated."
And so, the two Nephilim got to the class and throughout the day, they talked about most things.
"Wow, training everyday… sounds exhausting…" Absalom said as he and Death walked out of their final class.
"I guess… I have gotten used to it. And the extra training makes me stronger," he said like it wasn't a big deal.
"Well good luck and see you tomorrow," Absalom said, waved good bye and headed to his home.
When Death arrived, Agony bombarded him with questions like 'How was it?', 'Did you met any new friends?', 'How are the teachers?', 'Did anyone pick on you?'
The boy barley managed to calm her down and explain how the day went. Telling her everything.
"Aww how nice. I am so happy that you found a friend," she said and hugged him.
After that they waited for Wrath to come and once he did, the training session started.
During the session, Death also told him father how his day was.
"I see, good to know you have someone to show you around."
Elsewhere, an unknown location. There were three very large head shaped rocks. Around them was lava and the place itself looked like it was inside a volcano.
"The prophecy has begun," one spoke as its inside lit up.
"One of the four has come," the middle one said, the same thing happening.
"Now we must wait for the others," the far right one spoke as it lit up as the other two.
"The prophecy of the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse will come to light," all three of them spoke in unison.
Well that was the 1st chapter; hope you liked it, thanks for reading and review pleas.
Sorry if it was a bit boring but it had to be done.
The others will come later, Strife and Fury in the next one or two while War is still far away sorry War fans =/
