The horseman is decided by the admin - side note for you all!
The Horseman
The horseman's life before his reign was quite simple - a man, exiled by his peers because of his strange nature. Once know by the simple name of Riado, the horseman had been a cheerful, kind hearted man whom only looked to help the townspeople of Aeisces. The people found him to be shockingly smart, knowing much about health and taking care of they ill. Suspected of witchcraft (though it was a true offense), he was out casted to the wood of Harrow. The man lived by himself in an old cottage by the slaughter house, working on his studies.
At the time, he was not angered by the people, but found their general fear normal. However, his anger started when Judge Ethifer Crane sentenced him to a trial for black magic, in which he had not done. As a punishment, he was forced to work in the slaughter house and the Crane's stable. In where he found a few friends: two black colts name Empathy and Apathy.
Years passed; more shunning, but he was able to watch and help Empathy and Apathy grow to large, destructive looking stallions, and when Apathy attacked Mistress Faith Crane, the horseman was forced to 'do away' with him, which is where he had his last straw. He escaped a few nights after sentencing his horse-friend to death, with Empathy in tow, he had gone to his cottage, and knowingly set a curse upon Aeisces - one that would be unable to be lifted until the soul of Apathy could be avenged.
His death followed the day after he set a curse upon himself, being shoved through the razor sharp blades of the slaughter house. His horse tied up and burned in the old shack in the woods, by a few young boys whom were careless. Little did they know he'd be reincarnated a few years after. The Hessian came to play, with a horse named Blade, whom resembled Empathy and Apathy both - fearful, raven black with stitched up marks on the chest and legs, a red slash down the face.
The Hessian had started... a war, almost between himself and the townspeople of Aeisces, in where they created an army of sorts. And in battle, The Hessian was caught because of a young girl, starting a fire by her small shack - a shack The Hessian remembered from his past life. After doing away with the girl, he, himself was caught, but while he was being beheaded, he rehersed the same curse he did the day before he died the first time, and now, without a head, he'd be dead.
Or not. Blade had returned that night, while the body had been dug up, his head stolen. The Hessian rose once more.
The Horseman's Plan
Being avenged wouldn't be an easy task for the Horseman, and coming back, he needed something to do, right?
The Hessian had to be avenged. While not wanting people to know he was back for a third time, his own legend began when he began to kill innocent travelers, putting odd curses on them to change them. The Hessian had taken the one person - goddess, if you will, that he could and placed her to protect these creatures he created, which in turn was from his original self, Riado, and his passion for dogs and the lupis kind.
Bellis' human self was sacrificed, and her soul, by The Hessian himself was set over the wood of the Lycans, to protect the lycans whom were harboured there. But The Hessian would not stop there.
The world beyond - the underworld, ruled by Hadyde, son of the infamous Hades, was home to creatures that were only myth to them, like lycans themselves, werewolves, nymths, and a creature that The Hessian took a liking to, more commonly known as the Vampire. Creatures whom relied on blood to survive. It took a while, but The Hessian sold souls to Hadyde for the trade of vampires - which began a both good and bad thing.
Some vampires, and lycans, as well, went off on their own, escaping the curse of The Hessian, while others stayed behind out of want for human flesh.
Using these creatures, he planned, they would unite together as one someday, and help him kill all those who dared cross his path.
