Chapter 1029

The Maat Rider activated her full bloodline with that phrase and made all the Desert Scourge in the world turn into harmless desert storms. The death of the mother Tulpar was already decided back then though as it only carried on the will to live in order to protect its young. Due to this, the Maat Rider fainted as she overexerted herself, but she was found by her tribe.

The young Tulpar that the Maat Rider saved with all her might imprinted on her. The Tulpar became a partner to the Maat Rider and not just a simple mount. They shared everything together and could even be described as kindred spirits. Things were peaceful until the dark gods arrived, and the world got plunged into darkness.

Back then, the whole word was just one land and were not fractured into different continents which is why travelling was not through boat. The only downside is that the land mass back then is larger as the world was not yet fractured but land travel is possible.

The gods of Pandemonium called upon all the warrior of the world to take arms on the invading gods. The Maat Rider answered the call of the Goddess Maat as she knows that her ability will be very helpful in the war that will occur. The Maat Rider despite being quite young back then answered the call of the gods and steeled her resolve to fight for this world.

She rode to what was called the central plains as the world was only land mass back then. She met the other riders that hailed from the north, south and west. Each of them held great power and mastery over their respective abilities that they were once called the Four Horsemen of Hope.

They led the cavalries of the combined army of the world, but it was not always sunshine and rainbows. Numerous lives were lost and even the lives of gods and dark gods were lost. The weakened gods were sealed while the fallen gods were used to forge the weapons to slay the gods. The four god slaying weapons were made from the parts of the greatest gods of truth and justice as they are the only ones that can fatally wound gods and goddesses.

The Four Horsemen of Hope were armed with the four weapons forged from the fallen body parts of the gods and goddesses. The dark gods were forced to retreat because of the powers of the combined four but that also sparked some distrust from gods and goddesses of Pandemonium. Gods and goddesses are not all powerful which is why even they fear when the weapons forged to kill the dark gods as it could also be pointed towards them.

The malicious and untrusting gods and goddesses of Pandemonium made sure that they Four Horsemen of Hope will be driven to death in battle, but they always returned alive. In the end, they had no choice but to betray the Four Horsemen of Hope. As the god slaying weapons became bathe in the blood and essence of the dark gods, the four became swallowed by those negative energy.

In the end, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were born in order to rid the world of the gods and goddesses. But the Gods of Forging built a failsafe on the god slaying weapons so that it will not fall in the hands of the dark gods. As the Four Horsemen of Hope became the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse because of the lingering resentment of the dark gods in the weapons, the god slaying weapons themselves looked at them as dark gods or beings corrupted by dark gods.

The weapons that they used to kill the dark gods and to save humanity were the ones that also sealed them away. To make sure that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse would be truly forgotten, their tribes have been put on the hit list for betrayal of their greatest warriors. Only a few of their tribes managed to survive the purge and they lived in silence in order to avoid the gazes of the other gods.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse became a piece of forgotten history so that no one would unseal then and use the god slaying weapons once again, but all things buried will always be unearthed. The people forgot the Four Horsemen that brought them Hope while the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are sealed away.

The dark gods returned, and the humans wanted a power to rival the malevolent gods that want to encroach onto the world. Thus, the people that buried the details of the god slaying weapons found traces of its knowledge and it was the dark gods that told them this. The dark gods wanted the to decrease the power of the current world in order to make their invasion easier.

"This is all what was written here in this ruin. It was forged using the sacrifice of five people with thick bloodline that came from the goddess. To make sure that the dark gods or even the gods of Pandemonium will never learn that we have never forgotten." Elder Leila stated as some of them are tearing up.

"That story is very sad. To think that their chivalry has been buried by the treacherous gods." Creepysoo stated as he is currently shedding some tears as he got too engrossed in the story.

"To think that they will forget the heroes of their past just because they became something terrible due to the malice of the gods and goddesses themselves. As expected, even the gods of Pandemonium are not always in unity." Solstice stated.

"Which is why I need a favor to all of you as I want the soul of our great ancestor to rest in peace." Elder Leila stated as a notification that a quest has been generated for them.
