Part 1 – Ichabod´s life
Washington Ichabod was born in Sleepy Hollow in the East coast of the country in 1750. He was noble who owned slaves; his father was the major of Sleepy Hollow and his mother came from England. He had a sister and a brother. Tragedy hit Ichabod when a mysterious fire killed his family.
"MAMMMMAA, PAPPPAAA" Ichabod cries a he is hold by his uncle. His uncle has a sinister smile and says while the flames still went on; "Aww, that´s too bad, well now, the family fortune now belongs to me."
Ichabod looks at his uncle with fury, one night Ichabod rested in bed and began to say; "My family was killed, I must kill that man in order to find peace, I must bring justice." On that same night, his uncle was drinking in his room, a silent Ichabod walked without a sound and with a knife in his hand, he charged directly at his uncle.
(SSSSLLLAASSSHHH)
Ichabod killed his uncle in order to find justice for his family. At the age of 10, Ichabod committed his first murder. However, that want enough to satisfy his anger, Ichabod train at the British army at a very young age, he studied ancient books in search of power, he became a soldier and went on missions and became a murder for the king. When the American Revolution broke out, Ichabod joined in favor of the American Rebels. This is where he met Alexandria.
"That is with no mistake the White Witch I read from a book one time, excellent." Ichabod says as he charges to save Alexandria, Ichabod saves Alexandria and makes her fall in love with him.
"I swear that I will never let you go." Ichabod says to Alexandria in the wedding day, he begins to think; "Now that the white which is mine, I now have the power to destroy this world."
One night Alexandria asks Ichabod; "Hey dear, what is your true objective in life?" Ichabod looks at her and makes a fake smile; "My true objective is to find peace that is why I want the power to change this world."
Ichabod acquired the powers of Conquest, he became a horseman with the curse of a Dullahan. He and Alexandria dominated the east coast. However he lost his children and grandchildren making him even more furious and wanting to destroy the world.
"MORE, MORE I WANT TO DESTROY EVERYTHING, THIS WORLD NEEDS TO END, AND ALEXANDRIA MUST DIE." Ichabod thinks as he battles Nemesio. Nemesio bleeds heavily, he looks at Ichabod and says; "Please reconsider, I don't want to kill you."
"HAHAHA, I WILL KILL YOU NEMESIO." Ichabod charges at Nemesio, Nemesio begins to release a massive crimson colored manna. He swing his sword saying; "Bellum Crescendo" (War Crescendo)
Ichabod is defeated and begins to think:
"I must find Alexandria, she will help me, I need more power."
Alexandria was defeated and Ichabod began to die slowly as he thought; "Why did you lose? You lost my interest, you worthless witch. I will get my revenge, Horseman of War.
Part 2 - Present; Capital Park
(BBBBOOOOMM, CRRRAASHHH)
A massive crimson manna makes a huge hole in Capital Park. Uriel stands there and begins to laugh:"HAHAHA, YOU ARE WEAK, THIS THE TRUE POWER OF A HORSEMAN."
As the smoke begins to clear, Ichabod walks slowly as he is out of energy. – DRIP, DRIP, DROP- Blood comes out of Ichabod as his arm was cut in the last attack. Ichabod falls into his knees and throws up blood saying:
"How can this be? I am the most powerful, why do I have to lose?"
Ichabod looks at Uriel smiling, Uriel walks towards Ichabod as he says; "You want to know the truth about our difference? The truth is that you are just a guinea pig of Alexandria; she wanted to test your power in order to get revenge in this world. Both of you have the same goal, and yet, you betrayed her."
"SHUT UP, SHE IS THE ONE WHO BETRAYED ME BY PROTECTING YOU!" Ichabod says as he begins to walk backwards, Uriel laughs and replies; "You are correct, and you why? It is because she loves me more than you. Now then time for you to die."
Uriel charges at Ichabod, Ichabod begins to feel fear as he says; "AM I GOING TO DIE? WAS I THIS WEAK IN THE FIRST PLACE, NO THAT GUY IS A MONSTER."
"SSSSTTTOOPPP" Alexandria steps forward with her arms extended and tries to block Uriel´s attack, Uriel who is charging reacts and comes to his senses, he manages to stop his attack and begins to scream:
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHY ARE YOU PROTECTING HIM? HE TRIED TO KILL YOU DIDN'T HE?"
Alexandria begins to cry; "I know that, but still, even if he doesn't love me, that doesn't change the fact that I love him." Alexandria turns around and looks at Ichabod; "Ichabod, I never betrayed you, it is true that I care about that boy, but I love you more, that is why I want to help you don't forget our promise that we made when we got married."
Ichabod smiles and says; "Oh yes, I remember, we promised each other to always support our dreams. I understand, Alexandria, you are only mine and for that you must help me. I need you to help me win."
(SSSTTTAAABBBB)
Alexandria coughs up blood as Ichabod stabs her from the back and begins to absorb her manna. Uriel charges screaming; "STOP IT, ICHABOD, LET HER GO."
"Here, she all yours." Ichabod throws Alexandria to Uriel distracting him as he grabs her with his only working arm. Alexandria is unconscious; Ichabod lifts his axe and tries to slash both of them at the same time screaming:
"THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, NOW DIE."
(BBBBBBBOOOOMMMM)
Ichabod and Uriel look surprise as they see that someone stopped Ichabod´s attack, the man who was in the middle of both of them was Igor who blocked the attack with his cane. Igor turns around and looks at Uriel, he smiles and says:
"Thank you Uriel, your job is finish now let me finish him off. It is the duty of the Horseman of Conquest to finish off his mistakes."
"YOU ARE THE HORSEMAN OF CONQUEST, THIS IS PERFECT, IF I DEFEAT YOU HERE, THEN I WILL BE THE TRUE HORSEMAN." Ichabod screams, Igor turns to looks at him and begins to chuckle; "FUFUFU"
"WHAT´S SO FUNNY?" Ichabod exclaims to Igor, He swings his axe causing an explosion.
(CCCCRRRRAAASSHHH)
"IIIGGGOOORRR" Uriel screams as he holds Alexandria. Ichabod laughs and says; "Now this is funny, I finished him off with one blow."
"You wanted to know what was funny to me." Igor comes out of the smoke screen intact and without a scratch, He spins his cane and says; "What is funny is that a person like you can be a horseman, a horseman is chosen by fate. You are just an impostor and now I will defeat you."
Igor opens his eyes; he has the eyes of a green beast with black corneas and cracks around his eyes. He extends his cane and points it at Ichabod chanting; "zelenaya mor" (Green pestilence) Igor releases a green smoke screen towards Ichabod. Ichabod begins to feel pain as his flesh begins to burn.
"AAHHHH WHAT IS THIS?" Ichabod exclaims Igor smiles and replies; "That my friend is the true power of pestilence."
Ichabod tries to cut him but Igor dodges, -click- Igor takes out a blade out of his cane and slashes Ichabod in the arm. A small cut begins to create green veins and begin to expand in Ichabod´s arm. Ichabod feels his arm going numb and lets go of the axe.
Igor looks at Uriel and says; "Uriel step back, I know that we cant die but it will still affect you." Uriel nods in agreement and grabs Alexandria getting away from them. Ichabod begins to throw up blood and says:
"Why am I losing, this poison mustn't affect me at all and yet, I am dying."
"Like I told you before my friend, this is the true power of pestilence; pestilence is the beginning of conquest. In order to find conquest, one must first rot to gain advantage to the enemies." Igor explains to Ichabod, Ichabod exclaims:
"CUT THE CRAP, I WILL KILL YOU FOR DOING THIS TO ME."
"FUFUFU, My friend, the only one dying here is you. I will show you how powerful the Horseman of Conquest is." Igor grabs the axe, the axe gets smaller and lighter, Ichabod smiles:
"Is that thing going to kill me, don't make me laugh, its smaller and weaker."
"Yes it looks smaller, but the power is greater." Igor lifts the axe to the sky and releases an enormous amount of manna to the sky; a green pillar is formed illuminating the whole city and its surroundings. Igor smiles and continues to speak:
"The name of the axe is; Nebesnyy rezak or Heavens Cutter"
Ichabod looks shocked because he never knew the name of the axe, Igor continues to speak:
"It is said that this axe was used by Genghis Khan and with it, he destroyed many kingdoms. If you don't know how to use it, then I suggest that you leave it alone."
"NO, NO, THAT AXE SHOULD BE MINE, WHY? WHY?" Ichabod thinks as he sees Igor slowly swing the axe down saying; "You were a strong man, but your time ended about 200 years ago. I will kill you without pain as a fellow horseman of conquest."
"NO, NO WAAAIIITTT" Ichabod screams of fear. – SSSSLLLLAAASSSHHH- Igor slashes Ichabod in half, Uriel I shocked to see the power of Igor, Alexandria who opens her eyes begins to cry as she sees her husband dying.
Ichabod begins to disappear as he begins to think; "Am I going to die? I guess it is for the best, in the end I couldn't create that world I wanted. But when I look back, I see you smiling with our children. You who I used for my own purposes, I hate, I hate you, but most of all I hate myself because I tried to kill you."
Ichabod spins his eyes and looks at Alexandria crying at him, he begins to remember his past and says:
"I wanted revenge to this world, I wanted to destroy and conquer, and I still do, I guess I won't change but that is alright, Alexandria in the end I only want to see you smile again, I wanted to tell you once more that I…Love…You…"
Ichabod completely disintegrates into the air leaving only ashes of what was him. "Farewell, Washington Ichabod, may your soul find peace in Purgatory." Igor says as he closes his eyes once more.
Alexandria falls into her knees and cries; "Ichabod, why did you leave me behind? I wanted to be with you forever, why?"
(BBBAADDDUUUMMMPPP)
"AAAHHHH" Uriel begins to feel pain in his body; he falls into his knees and begins to throws up blood. He changes back to normal, his hair turns blue and his eyes turn green again. He feels his body burning; Igor looks at him and says;
"Oh dear, it looks like you inhale some of the poison after all."
Igor lifts his cane and makes green smoke come out of Uriel´s body, he smiles and says;
"You should be feeling normal now."
Alexandria who is crying begins to say; "Ichabod, he finally died, I guess it was my fault for betraying him that he hated me at the end."
"It was not your fault, Ichabod in the end looked happy seeing you. He did loved you at the very end." Uriel says as he breathes heavily. Igor makes the axe disappear and walks towards Uriel and Alexandria.
"Well my friends, my mission is now complete. I will return to Europe because that is where they need me." Igor says to Uriel and Alexandria. Uriel looks at Igor and asks:
"Hey, Igor, I have a question, do you know about a certain box inside us?"
Igor smiles and makes a black box with a green aura coming out. Uriel looks surprised and asks:
"Is that your box?"
"Indeed, once you train yourself well, you will be able to do the same. Listen, this box represents us horseman, this is the will of the horsemen, if you can access it, and you will have power beyond your imagination. However, there is a catch, every time you use it, your time in earth will be shortening, and eventually you will die. I recommend that you be careful with that." Igor explains to Uriel leaving in a state of shock.
"I understand, I will be careful, I promise." Uriel says to Igor. Igor begins to walk away and says; "Farewell old friend, I hope that the next time we meet, we could share a drink. Oh, one more thing, be careful with Darius Lucifugus, that man is very dangerous.
Igor disappears, Alexandria goes to where Ichabod died, she grabs a piece of his cape and begins to cry, Uriel only puts his hand on her shoulder as Alexandria purifies her soul with tears.
On the battle of Capital City, Lieutenant Washington Ichabod finally found peace and passed on to the afterlife. This concludes with the legend of the Headless Horseman; however the story will always live on the American Folklore.
