章 39: Chapter 39: Alata's Transforming (Arc: The Return Of Eva Gloria)

Zack Madness, from the moment he was born he was a very passionate and angry child. The boy kicked very hard in the womb to be born and gave off a very hot temperature that burned the midwife's hand and brought the water to a boil. As an adult, Zack joined the army to find challengers to his immense power. Zack's barracks were somewhere else so he didn't know anything about Zed's power since they were young. Zack was always the strongest person in the barracks, he often opened hand-to-hand battles for fun and money. Zack was always the champion, he defeated them all with his bare hands and with a big fire behind his back, a true god of war, didn't hesitate or worry about the enemy, just fight and fight forever. But Zack's fighting talent was not respected by anyone, they just saw him as a belligerent and bored because there was no one left to challenge. When The First War began, Zack commanded his troops in the battle of the Sandx frontier, where Zack became the Horseman of War. Zack fought every enemy he encountered, no matter how much each spear or blade slashed at him, he still charged forward to be slain. Each blade of his ax cut down, a life was taken away, the more his ax blade cut, the more it burned. And while he was the only one standing on top of his enemies, Zack summoned his Elemental Spirit, The Colossus. Zack was given the title of Horseman of War and together with The Colossus, they once again brought war on the Newlaphaine kingdom. Zack's exploits were many, but what brought him only hatred and suffering. After the war ended, King Arthur chased him out of the city because of his danger. Zack was angry and built a small arena himself so he could continue to entertain and kill. When Urizen returned to the Highland Continent, he invited Zack back as the Horseman of War and without hesitation, Zack once again took the name Horseman of War and brought war to the Highland Continent. Alata continued walking and passed Hatai's room. Hatai in the room was eating a lot, his round stomach was constantly digesting everything. Of the four Horseman of the Apocalypse, Hatai was the weakest, but his strength was also not ordinary. Hatai was born into a family of fishermen. From a young age, Hatai had a large physique, he could swim very deep in the coldest seas and bring back tons of fish. But Hatai was a jealous person as he often blocked other fishing boats so that only his boat could catch the most fish. When The First War started, Hatai joined the army and accidentally he was with Zed's army. That army went to war in Campaign Burning the Forest of Nightmares. Hatai fought the Dark Elves and smashed all the enemies with the Zin hammer. Any weapon that attacked him could not leave any wound on his thick skin. Hatai was the killer a lot and slaughtered all the enemies. He burned to the ground the Forest of Nightmares, but he realized that nothing could burn it down. The campaign failed and very few people were left alive. Hatai was one of the survivors and he was very confident and arrogant that he was the strongest when he killed the most and was still alive without a wound. Until he saw Zed covered in blood standing in the corpse of his enemy with The Knight beside him, tons of corpses piled on top of each other from the carnage of the darkness. Hatai had realized that, there would always be someone stronger than him and he would always be behind that person no matter how many feats he won, how many enemies he killed, he would still not be able to overcome Zed. Although he was able to summon the Elemental Spirit The Death, it was nothing compared to The Knight's dark power. Zed was given the title of Horseman of Death while Hatai became the lieutenant in Zed's Wolf Army. He became jealous of Zed and often contradicted him and fought a lot hoping that one day he would achieve the title he deserved. Although Zed couldn't command Hatai, he kept him because he was the strongest warrior. After the night Zed killed Edengaz and Wizard Claura changed everyone's memories in the Gloria kingdom, Hatai had his memories altered and believed he was the Horseman of Death as he always wanted to be. But the war ended and Hatai could no longer fight, he returned to work as a fisherman and sometimes he also went to fight in Zack's arena for fun. Hatai also briefly returned as the Horseman of Death when Urizen invited him back. But he didn't know Urizen only saw him as a replacement and only added him to fill his place in the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse. Alata went through Exos' room. Exos was enjoying tea and reading a book. Exos was the most mysterious of the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse, no one knows his origin, parents or relatives, everything was a mystery. Only Exos had a great feat when he led a weak army of only a hundred people against the siege of more than a thousand Elf soldiers. Exos did not need to summon weapons and only with clever tactics, decisive thinking and mastery of the terrain, he won and brought all the soldiers back. Exos was awarded the title of Horseman of Famine and often participated in tactical meetings during The First War. His words were often few but always heard and agreed by everyone because of his intelligence, talent and mastery of the art of tactics. Although he rarely went to war, the campaigns and battles he commanded were all won, but Exos was also the most benevolent when he often saved the surviving enemies and brought them back to their kingdom. Exos's power was intelligence instead of strength like the other three. When the war ended, Exos was the only one invited by King Arthur to stay to build the kingdom, but he chose a peaceful life and lived as a wheat farmer. Urizen trusted Exos the most, and he was easily invited back when he heard about Urizen's plans to unify the Highland continent into one. Exos was currently Urizen's mentor. Alata thought in his mind as he passed Exos's room:
