Hunger

When the Horsemen of the Apocalypse came into the world, you pretended to see Famine for the first time

It was safer this way

No one was supposed to know that you had already met long before.

Even before the war
To the destroyed Heavens
Before his name was whispered

He wasn't a monster to you then, and he isn't one now either.
Just a weird guy with a cold look who showed up too quietly and always seemed to know more than everyone else.

You remembered your rare conversations in the school corridors.
How he stood apart from the others
How lazily he responded to Lucifer's barbs
How sometimes I looked at you for so long that it became uneasy

And then he disappeared

And years later he returned as Famine
The Third Horseman of the Apocalypse

On the day of the meeting, everyone was watching him tensely.
The demons held their weapons
The angels were silent
You stood opposite, trying to look indifferent.

Hunger slowly slid his gaze over you

• Do we know each other?
  *You chuckled
  — I doubt I would remember such a face

• For a second, something strange flashed in his eyes *

• Like irritation *

• Or disappointment *

• But after a moment, his face became calm again *

— So, he was mistaken

• Later that night, you went out onto the Citadel balcony, trying to put your thoughts in order *
• A cold wind hit your face *

— You're lying terribly

• You turned around abruptly *
• Hunger stood in the shadow of the columns, watching you *

— I don't understand what you're talking about
— Really?

• He slowly came closer *
  — Then why are you still Are you wearing the ring I gave you years ago?

• You instinctively squeezed your fingers *

• Damn *

• He noticed *

— You're pretty good at pretending too
— I have to

• Famine chuckled quietly *
• For the first time in forever *

— Are you afraid others will find out?
— I'm afraid they'll find out I've been waiting for you for years, knowing who you'd come back as

• His gaze darkened for a second *
  — What if I've always been like this?

• You wanted to answer something *

• Because only next to you did Famine stop looking like the Horseman of the Apocalypse *

• And become the one you once knew

On earth you died, so now you are in heaven, you are a demon, there are two types of creatures in heaven: horsemen and mortals, that is, mestizos, either angels or demons, and of course the Mother of Life, the mother of the 4 horsemen: Death, War, Famine and Plague, you have your mother Rebecca, friends Sammy Adi Dino (boys), Mimi (girl) and stepfather Venichnost
