Four Ponies of the Apocalypse

Description

First piece after my pc died cause of a combo of my laptop battery dying permanitly and a dead headdrive. I got this idea after playing Darksiders and looking at the Tlight Sparkle figure next to my laptop.

These are the Four Horses of the End Times, the Horses who will ride during Armageddeon... as ponies! :P

The story, at least I have for them, is that the Pestilence, War and Famine arrive in Equestria to warn the people to beg for forgivness and prepare themsleves for the end times. If not, the 4th pony, Death, will come and destroy every living thing in Equestria. Unlike Nightmare Moon and Discord, the 4 ponies are immune to the Elements of Harmony because they don't bring disharmony or vengence to their enemies; they bring afflictions to the ponies of Equestria that can't be fixed with friendship. The gold rings around the four ponies legs are actually magical shackles that lost thier power over time, allowing the Four to break free. It's because of the way Death treats Pestilence, War and Famine that causes them to rebel and helps Equestria banish Death, but not destroyign her. For no matter what happens in life, it must come to end.

Clockwise from top right:
Pestilence -
This Unicorn Pony is is the bringer of plauge, diseases and nightmarish sickness to whomever he faces. He is sometimes considered the only one of the 4 that may posses a good soul, so he keeps his eyes closed so he can't witness the horrors he creates. His Cutie Mark is a sickly hand conjuring a deadly plague.

War-
This Earth Pony is the strongest physical wise and the most brutish with his methods. War has learned how to use his brute strength and tackle skills to take down enemies and even solid stone walls. He is the first of the Four to be seen by the ponies of Equestria and gives the first warning to the people. His Cutie Mark is two dueling swords.

Famine-
This Pegasus Pony is the most laid back of the Four, and thus the one who doesn't seem to care about the events they are trying to cause. Like most Pegasi, he can control the weather, or in Famine's case, not making any rain. His Cutie Mark is a skull crying for nurishment.

Death-
This Winged Pegasus, is not only the most powerful of the Four, but the only one that is female. She is feared by the other 3 her cruelty and her lack of compassion for all living things. Wherever Death steps, the ground is greyed and plants die. Before Luna went mad and Celestia banished her to the moon, both princesses sealed Death and the others away, not knowing thier containment would wear off many years later. Death not only wants Celestia and Luna dead for her containment, but all life for abandoning the one rule of all things: with life, their is death. Death's Cutie Mark is the Grim Reaper's Scythe.

.....

I had this idea for awhile now, and I was finally able to do it!
Hope you liek it
