Chapter 1: A new age

The Horsemen of the Apocalypse had defeated their former masters the Charred Council and have taken their stead as protectors of the balance. All Angels, Demons, and Abyssal creatures were taken off Earth as the Humans now live in peace away from the demon's tortures.

Death had condemned all Holy and Unholy presence on Earth and would sleep in his Eternal slumber upon his dead throne. Death was tired from the acts of the Council and the treachery of Lucifer, as Sameal took his place as ruler, so he took rest as he waited for the call of his siblings.

Death had slept as Trigon a new Demon lord had seeded a human woman of his child but he himself was not stepping over his boundaries. War had taken the rode of a lone warrior, Strife had vanished long before, and Fury had gone to live on Earth as a observer.

As Death slept in his slumber he could feel that the brotherhood of his siblings was breaking, he thought to interfere but then he realized the council held them back. So Death had allowed his siblings to go freely as he slept alone in his throne, but this is how Death is... cold, merciless, carefree, fair and unfair at the same time.

Death never awoke even when a alien hero named Superman had shifted the balance by an inch, it wasn't enough to awaken Death. Then one day the Balanced shifted too much as Death could sense that a much larger amount of human souls were being brought to his Dead kingdom.

Knowing that the Balance has finally changed, Death had finally opened his glowing red eyes while dried dust had cracked as his eye lids opened. Death had gave a quick snap cracking his fingers that sat still for a unknown period of time as dust had fallen from his boney fingers.

Death had stood up, cracking his head to the left and to the right Death had breathed in the scent of decay as his Necromancer armor, and his wanderer's shroud had formed over him. Then a crow had landed on Death's shoulder and cawed as Death said "Dust... I see that Crowfather's soul has been keeping watch over me."

Dust nodded as Death asked "So my brothers... my sister... any news of them?"

Then the soul of Crowfather had walked in the throne room and said "Death no word has been said of any of the Horsemen after their fearless leader had gone into a eternal slumber, other than Fury and Strife going to Earth."

Death had summoned his crow scythes and gave a few swings as the Crowfather had asked "Why do you awake my old friend?"

Death then stated "There is a strong shift of the balance on Earth I will go alone to fix it."

Crowfather then suggested "Maybe your brothers or perhaps your sister Fury would able to assist?"

Death then said "NO! they belong where they wish now... especially War, after what he's been through."

The Crowfather then opened a portal to Earth and said "May your travel be less than a errand boy, Lord of bones."

Death had walked through the portal and saw that the Earth was far more active after the premature Apocalypse as Dust had flown through onto his shoulder. Death had watched as he came across a sign that said 'Gotham' as Death watched that flying machines had flown over head as his armor's cloth billowed by the winds.

Death then said "The Earth has changed since it's destruction."

Then Death sensed a demonic power behind him as magical projectiles had hit an trash can, Death turned around emotionless as he saw a woman with a Crow feathered cape. The woman had demanded "Who are you?!"

Death had pulled out his crow scythes and stated "I come to restore balance... Raven, daughter of Trigon."

Raven had squinted her eyes and said "You know of my father so you should know that if I am to be attacked he will take your soul!"

Death had used his death grip to grab Raven towards him and held her by the throat as she stared into his eyes, Death then stated "I have more power over the universe's souls than your father could even wish for compared to me he is still the lowest class of Demon lord, however I see you have given into his power but by force not by choice..."

Death had placed his gauntlet on Raven's forehead and began to drain the demonic energy away as Raven's skin had paled from the lose of demonic energy. Death had released Raven as she fell from the lose of her demonic power and thought "She's not the disturbance though... there is something that is placing the balance out of order."

Dust had landed on Death's shoulders as Death had picked a feather off his tail and placed it in Raven's hand before walking off looking towards the island that was named Arkham asylum.
