Summary
The world has been out of balance for years, with people starving and dying of preventable illnesses all over the world while a select few people cheat death and sow war and chaos amongst the rest. There’s no harmony, no balance, and no amount of dexterity and strategising is going to fix it. There’s no plan he could come up with that would be enough to pull the world back to its natural state, to equity — and so what he needs is something more powerful.
The old journal speaks of four beings, four entities all-powerful and unstoppable, that will be capable of turning the very world on its axis when brought together. They could shake apart the vestiges of corruption and injustice that infect every corner of the world, could wipe apart any society and start it anew with a clean slate.
They could also simply perform a well-planned, well-thought out trick to expose the cruelty and profiteering behind one man’s death, and bring about the beginning of the end of the capitalist society they live in currently.
.... That’s what Dylan’s hoping for, at least.

Dylan needs the very best magicians to perform his plan. Who better than the actual Horsemen?

Summary
It’s been only a few weeks since Dylan’s successful summoning of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and he’s come to several fascinating conclusions in the time since. They’re immensely powerful, and a little terrifying, and — for a collection of all-knowing, all-powerful entities of apocalypse — they’re surprisingly childish. And oblivious. Dylan very carefully schools his expression and levels Famine with a flat stare. “Please don’t yell at Jack.”
“Who’s—” Famine starts, and then blinks, corner of his mouth twitching as he glances back towards Death. “Right. Well, he started it.”
“True,” Dylan acknowledges, and then turns to Death. “Jack, please don’t hit Daniel with cards. That’s not a friendly thing to do.”
“It’s funny, though,” Pestilence adds in, suddenly appearing in the doorway of the kitchen. “He makes such funny noises.”
That, of course, only infuriates Famine even more, and Dylan sighs helplessly to himself as the argument continues in full force, loud voices snapping back and forth within seconds. They’re actual children.
