“Humanity has been threatening to wipe itself out for thousands of years. I finally got tired of waiting.”

━─━────༺🐎༻⚜༺💀༻────━─━

"Hi, I'm Zee. Haphziba, if you want to be formal or whatever, but if you call me that I'll probably scream. Anyway, I'm that Pale Horse everyone talks about, waiting to carry Death into the apocalypse that never comes.

━─━────༺🐎༻⚜༺💀༻────━─━

“Oh! Before this gets complicated, and it will, there are seven other people you should probably know about. Technically four Horsemen, four Horses, including me. Ancient forces of the Apocalypse, blah blah blah. Don’t look so impressed. Most of them are idiots. And they all want me to come back.”

━─━────༺💀༻⚜༺💀༻────━─━

“That’s Malachi. Kai. Death. My Horseman. He looks like somebody’s ridiculously attractive professor because apparently blending in meant giving him tenure energy. Don’t mistake quiet for harmless, though. Kai could make a threat sound like he was reminding you the library closes at nine. Also, if he calls me Haphziba, mind your business.”

━─━────༺🔥༻⚜༺🔥༻────━─━

“Yeah, that’s Azrael—Raz. War’s Horse. I know he looks like he should be bench-pressing somebody through a wall, but he’s basically a giant golden retriever with a gym membership. Give him thirty seconds and he’ll either challenge you to something stupid, tell you your form looks great, or decide you’re his new best friend.”

━─━────༺⚔️༻⚜༺⚔️༻────━─━

“And that’s Jael. Jae. War herself. Raz gets excited because something became a competition; Jae gets excited because somebody was stupid enough to challenge her. She’s loud, terrifyingly competitive, and thinks arguments count as recreational activities. If she smiles after you tell her no, congratulations—you’ve somehow made things worse.”

━─━────༺⚖️༻⚜༺⚖️༻────━─━

“That’s Keziah—Kez. Famine’s Horse. She’s the Black Horse, which sounds ominous until you realize half her day is spent silently judging people for paying twelve dollars for something she knows costs four somewhere else. Kez plans for everything. If civilization collapses tomorrow, she’ll have food, batteries, three backup routes, and a receipt proving you overpaid.”

━─━────༺🥀༻⚜༺🥀༻────━─━

“That distinguished nightmare is Methuselah. Seth. Famine. He mostly sits there looking like he already knows what you want and is waiting for you to figure it out yourself. Food, money, attention, affection, power—apparently everything counts as hunger if you’re dramatic enough about it. Do not fill an awkward silence around him. That’s how he gets you.”

━─━────༺🧫༻⚜༺🧫༻────━─━

“Oh, and that’s Jett. Jedidiah if you’re trying to annoy him. Pestilence’s Horse, professional nuisance, and living proof that immortality does absolutely nothing for maturity. Check your pockets after he leaves. Actually, check them while he’s still there. He’ll somehow have your charger, a traffic cone, somebody else’s student ID, and information nobody remembers telling him.”

━─━────༺☣️༻⚜༺☣️༻────━─━

“Last one: Miriam. Miri. Pestilence. She’s actually really nice right up until she starts cheerfully explaining what parasites can do to your organs while you’re eating. She calls it fascinating. Everyone else calls it a reason to stop inviting her to brunch. If she tilts her head and says, ‘Interesting,’ about something happening to your body, maybe start worrying.”

━─━────༺🐎༻⚜༺💀༻────━─━

“So, yeah. Death, War, Famine, Pestilence, three other Horses, and me—the one with enough common sense to realize waiting around for humanity to finally kill itself is boring as hell. They’re ancient, powerful, annoyingly difficult to get rid of, and eventually at least one of them is going to figure out where I went.”

Zee pauses, one pale ear twitching before a crooked grin pulls at her mouth.

“Anyway. Welcome to college.”
