In a cataclysm known as the Nightfall, the worlds were almost completely destroyed by a harrowing surge of darkness.
In the shadows of the ensuing chaos a new group has taken shape. Led by an Aegyl named Kalos, the 11th Hour touts an esoteric knowledge of how to combat the darkness and restore the worlds. They might be the worlds’ best chance at survival; but nobody really knows enough about them to confirm or deny their claims.
On the brink of collapse, the universe holds its breath in anticipation. Of restoration? Of destruction? It is up to individuals like yourself to decide.

Alright... so here's the thing... that is also one of the many reasons I have not been on all that much, besides the fact that my step mom is being a draconian monster and took away The Arbiter...
ANYWAYS....
Um... the real reason I'm posting this is because, well, how many of you watch the news? *shrugs* I don't know! So anyways, this news is actually spreading across Texas fairly rapidly, and is considered a very rare, very punishable offense.
KVUE News
CEDAR CREEK, Texas -- Someone stole a camel and a pony from the Capital of Texas Zoo in Bastrop County.
Officials from the zoo, located in Cedar Creek, say Moses, a 3-year-old camel, and Coco, a 20-year-old pony, were taken in the middle of the night on Tuesday from the front pasture of the zoo.
The zoo director, Michael Hicks, told KVUE News he thinks the thieves were waiting for rain because it helped them cover their tracks.
Zoo keepers refer to the animals that were stolen as their odd couple. Ponies and camels don't normally hang out together, but Cocoa the pony and Moses the camel were inseparable. That's also why they believe both animals were stolen. The pony is over 20 years old with arthritis, and is not worth very much money. However, Moses is worth $4,000-$5,000.
"This is somebody who's in the business and realized his worth and had a market for him. That's what it is," Hicks said. "The staff and I are heartbroken. We raised Moses on a bottle. He thought he was a person, loved everybody. Our pony, Coco, and Moses were best friends. It was comical; they went everywhere together. Coco is over 20 years old, and she mothered the camel like he was her baby."
The zoo says the camel has a number of unique marks that are not being released, but they could be used to prove his identity.
There is a reward for the animals' return.
"They were beloved by children as well as adults in this part of Texas," Hicks said. "Moses went to many, many schools and events, as an ambassador for the zoo."
If you have any information, call the Bastrop County Sheriff's Office at 303-1080 or the zoo at 303-6675
*sighs* The wonders of what I deal with at work... v_v;;
But yes... I, too, as a working member of the Capital of Texas Zoo (for about five going on six years now), am very appalled and heartbroken that someone would even do something like this. As Moses and Coco were valuable and loved assets to the zoo.
So far, there's only one person that I know of that called in to report something that she saw that looked like a camel... but even she wasn't sure. I'm just hoping that everything will pan out in the end.
*dons Deerstalker Cap and Calabash Pipe* Fear not, Ms. Shiay. I assure you that your beloved Camel and Pony shall return. I promise you that should I spot or hear anything of the sort related to these two here in North Austin, I shall bring the criminals who performed this heinous act to justice!
EDIT:
Zvarri! The truth has once again been elegantly revealed to me!
Perhaps it could be that this was an inside job? Someone disguised as a worker? Have the employees been interrogated yet?
*chuckles* Stalker, you say? Part of me is offended by that. Another part of me is constantly searching the internet for more information about camels.
But really, it just saddens me to see people who've lost something they love, and it feels to me like Shiay is really fond of Lil' Moses.
Recent sources reveal the location of a camel and pony, last seen at the Capital of Texas Zoo on Tuesday the 14th of October. On a rainy night they were suddenly and mysteriously taken by persons unknown (and no, we didn't interrogate the employees -- we just ripped out their fingernails and said, TALK!)
Today, at approximately 2pm Central Standard Time, the Sheriff's Office called the Director and informed him that someone had called in a camel spotting with pony for flavor.
Yes, folks, the media attention developed over this theft has apparently done it's job! We suppose that the thives, now worried about getting caught, ditched the camel and his trusty side kick (get it, side KICK, pony, get it?) the pony into a isolated pasturage about 2 miles from the zoo.
The kidnap victims were returned to the zoo at approximately 3pm and were listed in fine condition. They were not speaking to the press as of closing time, due to the stress of their ordeal.
BY THE WAY...........

........ I am not Shiay, I am a cheap replication of her in the form of her very admittedly strange father. The more familiar I become, the stranger I get.
As Shiay is on Temp Banishment from the land of Net, I was tapped to bring you this late breaking news.
So, you can stop looking and tell those poor folks in South Dakota and Tennessee that they can stop looking. And PLEASE stop calling us. No really, please stop.
Stalker much?
best regards, dunniteowl Shiay's dad
ps (Shiay typing for a brief moment): mutoman, I'm very attached to Moses, as you stated earlier. Have been ever since he arrived about 2 years ago. Now if my dad will untie me and stop dragging me around, that'd be great.
Extra PS: Vel, I I;m doing fine, thought you oughta know~ I miss you and everyone else here!
