Horsemen of Old

‘There will come a time when it will talk to you.’ ‘The Darkness?’ ‘Yes. And when that time comes, do not answer.’ Cat and mouse. Hunter and prey. A desperate flight, in sun and moonless night. A country succumbing to the weight of its politics, bleeding in the shadow of its history. Frozen Bombay, a city of thieves and pirates. Zaleb Hel, an island of secrets. Nemen Sui, the black place. Rajasthan, a burning desert waste where the heart eaters roam. But the sound of hooves. They grow ever near. The beating of drums. The end of days. The Four Horsemen. The Apocalypse. You are powerless to stop this, siblings. You have lost much. Your innocence. Your love. Your greatest ally. All you have now is the blood that ties you. All you have now is each other.
