Apocalypse

The apocalypse is an event of destruction or rebirth, it is described by different cultures and traditions and has different interpretations, it can be associated with a phenomenon of natural or supernatural destruction, even both. Apocalypse is a word originating from the Greek term apokálypsis which means "revelation" or "action to discover".

Some cultures believe in several different apocalypses, as the Old Norse believed in *Ragnarok*, there are also those who believe in a "zombie apocalypse" or any cataclysmic event that can happen, which can be defined as the work of evil forces like Satan and also occur a extraterrestrial apocalypse, an invasion or domination.

## Satanic Apocalypse

### Satanarchy

Satanarchy is a term to refer to Satan's plan for planet earth, constantly the evil entity tries to take power from the earth and turn it into one of the infernal realms, to accomplish this, Satan needs to accumulate strength for some time, which it can take centuries or millennia between one apocalypse and another. Satanarchy consists of a kingdom which the devil himself rules, the earth would be his domain and he would have control of everything, would turn everything into chaos and there would be a new world order where profanities and absurdities would be turned into laws.

The servants of the devil, the Satanists, try to strengthen their master so that he can bring a new apocalyptic era to dominate the world once and for all, with the promise of receiving a prosperous life for them in the spiritual and material world, for them and for their offspring. To strengthen him, they adore him and offer him sacrifices, in addition to experiencing chaos and accumulating negative energy to transfer to the devil.

### Resistances and Knights of the Devil

The devil always has his plans thwarted by resistances created by occult beings, such as sorcerers and vampires, who are more powerful than ordinary humans, thus being able to stop him with the help of their powers and/or the gods. Each apocalypse has up to three "Knights of the Devil" who are Satanists who were chosen by the devil to possess special powers and bring destruction, these chosen ones would be responsible for bringing disgrace and death to the world, they must kill and sacrifice to the master so that he feeds more and more on evil forces, so that when Satan and the Knight of the Devil himself are powerful enough, the next step would be to take control of the world and dominate everything, so Satan would win, but resistance always defeats the chosen and frustrate his plans.

When one chosen fails or is killed, another appears, but there can only be three chosen in each apocalyptic age, when all three are defeated, the world returns to normal.

### humanity during the period

When the apocalypse happens, people are simply frozen in the timeline at the moment before the apocalypse happens, if the apocalypse works they are erased from the world, otherwise they return to normal along with the world without having noticed anything abnormal, as if nothing had happened. A very few people are not frozen in time, and some manage to protect themselves from the effect, as is the case with members of the resistance and some **occult people** *(vampires, spellcasters etc.)* who manage to protect themselves individually.

The apocalypse has no date to happen and no date to end, it can last months, years or even centuries, but it is very rare, usually Satan is defeated before that. Only those who remember the apocalypse are those who participated in it, that is, those who were active and aware during this period, some people die during the apocalypse but come back to life when the world is restored because they remain alive in the preserved timeline, as is the In the case of Billie Montgomery, she lived the second apocalyptic age and died of old age, however the world was restored and Satan lost again, Billie came back to life because she was still a baby when the apocalypse began, but who is born and dies during the apocalypse does not return.

## First apocalypse

The first apocalypse began when Satan possessed the body of a Satanist who had sold his soul to him, he used the newly acquired body to bond with another believer, who bore a son, that son would be a Knight of the Devil, was born a boy named Lucian Menescal, where Satan would release a deadly virus to wipe out the population in the new timeline.

The vampires of Forgotten Hollow discovered the beginnings of chaos through a vampire seer who revealed to them, Lilith and Caleb Vatore finally reunite with Vladislaus Straud for a greater cause, then decide to perform a dark meditation in which they would reduce all vitality of body, heartbeat and breathing to avoid freezing, moments before the start, an actress named Drica Cho slams the door of Straud Manor asking for shelter and help, she knew about the eventual apocalypse because she was one of the people who did a pact with the devil but was sorry, Drica joins them and they all do the meditation.

### Resurrecting the dead

Lilith discovered an ancient spell that could be cast by vampires, as there is an entity called 'Father Strasse' that when he was alive he was a vampire sorcerer, he gives powers to vampires who are going through a serious serious time, as is the In the event of an apocalypse, Lilith borrowed some powers and brought Natasha Lefraux and Kayla Fox back to life, in order for them to serve as helpers to the cause.

There was a great feud between the two, but Vladislaus made it clear that he didn't want to hear about internal conflicts, otherwise the two would return to the cave. The outside world was infected, they had to be very careful and cautious to leave the house, several people who were not frozen in time ended up dying in the street due to the contaminated atmosphere, this contamination would lose strength a while later.

### The greatest satanist

Margo Barnes was a Satanist who was "killed" several years before so she could return to the apocalypse to help Satan turn the world into a satanarchy. From her, Margo later went to Brindleton Bay where she summoned the demon Astrazi who provided the resurrection of Sophia Fontenot, who would help her fortify Satan.
