ong time ago there lived a great warrior. He won many battles and collected the biggest army in the ancient world. His name was Apocalypto. In the 1st century BC he was leading army to resist the power of  Order of Burning Rose. On the hills of  Warholl the two armies met. Apocalypto and his squire was inventing the tactics for the battle. They were thinking about this when one of the knights ran into the tent of the general. The Order of Burning Rose was attacking!!! There was no time to prepare. Apocalypto grabbed his sword and joined the rest of the army. He gave a sign and the combat began. It was a bloody battle. Many of talented knights lost their lives. Only few survived the battle. One of them was Apocalypto. He was walking across the place of the struggle and was cursing the Gods. But he didn’t know that the Lords were watching him. They had a special task for Apocalypto. The Olympiens wanted to give him immortality. Suddenly the sky turned red and a thunderstorm started. A swarm of bats was flying towards the night from everywhere. The wind started to blow. When Apocalypto was standing on the skulls of defeated warriors the lightning hit the Knight and they spoke to him. The Gods told the general their intensions. The Knight was thinking about this a long time but at the end he consented to this destiny. Olimpiens gave him a never ending live. From that day the Apocalypto walks all over the world and protects the defenseless or innocent people.
