Introduction
I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.
When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”
When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
The Prophecy
Most know of the Prophecy of the Four Riders. The Four Rider's are part of a plague, or seal, that is meant to be opened and begins the ending of the earth. The White Rider represents Conquest. The Red Rider is War. The Black Rider is Justice and the Pale is Death. Conquest sweeps through the earth, toppling kings and countries, no one can stand in his way and thousands of people rally to him. War takes peace and makes people kill and go to battle. Justice carries out what it's name implies, it punishes and makes right what was wrong. Death has the power to kill by the sword, famine, plague, and wild beasts.

Plot and Setting
This is set in a slightly futuristic setting, nothing dramatic, just slightly more updated technology and weapons. It is set in America.
-The 4 Plagues or Riders have been contained underground in a metal containment building. Here tests have been run on them for years. They've been under tight security not to mention daily douses of a calming serum to keep them contained. However what might seem odd is they are often taken to practice fighting and using their powers. This is odd, because they are being contained to keep the plague from happening, something is afoot. Someone is trying to prepare them and make them stronger, but they still want to keep them contained. Just who and what is going on is a mystery.
-Our 4 captives plan to escape.
-Someone has used the Rider's DNA from all the tests to create 4 warriors to counter the Riders. Forfeit has to power to cause lose and surrender in the lives of men. Forfeit opposes Conquest. Peace has the power to calm and unite the peoples, create harmony. Peace is against War. Corruption has to power to cause dishonestly in the hearts of men, using their greed and their desires against them. Corruption is against Justice. Life has the ablilty to hold ones spirit in the mortal world, in a way, restore life, but its not a restoration, the experience is more like entrapment. Life is against Death.
-Two people are on two different sides, one seems to want to use and control the Rider's while another seems to be set on finding a way to destroy them.
-I am open to any other Plots or Side-plots!
