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.

Koto turned back around as she heard the boy coughing blood, and dirt. He asked if she could cricle around the monster, and attack its tail and back to search for a weak spot to make the job a bit more simpler.
She gave a small nod, and replied, "Sure, but," she added, looked down at his mouth, and gently wiped some blood off of the side of his mouth with her hand, "will you be alright?" She finished, and looked back into his eyes.
The moment was broken by another roar from the creature, which made Koto looked away, and back towards the lizard. It was running straight towards them, furiously trashing around its neck and tail. They had made the beast enraged deeply, every step it took, it made the ground tremble.
"Shazbot, no time!" Seiger got up and grabbed the girl by her shirt, "Attack the creature's front, I'll take the back! Hopefully we'll hit his soft spot!" He threw her up int the air, safely away from the creature's attack, and dashed to his side, the charging dragon missing him by a few inches and crashing into the stands once again. The gust of wind that followed was so strong it knocked Seiger down, but he quickly rolled and leapt back to his feet, swinging his sword around him and drawing the wind towards him. Commanding the wind, he added some of his own strength to it, creating a whirlwind around him, so strong that it lifted some of the debris and formed a stone vortex around him.
"You! Purple!" Seiger called out to the dragon, which was shaking its head to clear the shock of the impact, "When are you ever gonna learn? You hit us, not the walls!" Fully recovered, the creature turned from the stands and roared at Seiger, who swung his blade and sent all the debris and dust shooting at the creature's head. The attack smashed into the creature's face as Seiger leapt into the air, praying that Bandaged would take the chance to strike it from the front. His leap carried him to the creature's face, which was now covered in blood and dust, twisting his body to avoid the snapping jaws of the dragon.
Using his hand as a pivot, he swung himself over the its skull and slid down its neck towards its back, dodging between the spikes on its spine. Yealping, he fell off the creature's back as it writhed in pain, roaring its anguish. Did the bandaged girl managed to find its weakness?
Koto nodded again, and stood in front of the lizard after landing nimbly on her feet with some guidance from the wind. She began attacking the beast from the from repeatedly, focusing on her job.
After she heard the boy yell at the creature, she mumbled a reply, but still remained at her work, "Don't give it any ideas, now." He had made the creature run into the stocks again, and roar, now Seiger was back attacking it, sending things flying at the creature, and covering it in blood.
This, Koto figured after seeing him flying through the air probably would be the best time to hit it once more, she did, the boy used his hand to pivot himself over the dragon, and slide down its neck.
Suddenly, and surprisingly whenever he was off of its back, the creature withered, and roared. Koto hadn't attacked it, so what did? A flash of white dashed by the reptile, and Koto could hardly make out what it was. A horse? Well, at least it looked like a horse.. Could it really have attacked the scaly creature?
The white horse with wings, Pegasus, fly over to Koto, licked her cheek, landed back on the ground and nudged her shoulder. "Ahe..hello there." She said to it, and ran her hand down its nose a few times while looking at Seiger, obviously alarmed by the friendly creature.
Barely landing on his feet, Seiger turned over and looked at Bandaged, who was standing next to a white horse with wings, a blue mane flowing behind its neck. The horse reared up and kicked its hooves at the dragon, challenging it as it smiled. Koto stood behind the horse, a small smile on her face. A flying horse? This was a strange girl, to have such odd creatures as friends.
Wait, flying horse? Pegasus! The creature of the hero Hercules! Seiger gazed upon the majestic beast with newfound respect, having heard many tales of Hercules and his faithful Pegasus, the Underworld trembling at their might. However, Seiger could not help but grimace. He had gone through a lot of trouble to give her an opening, and he was beginning to feel the strain of the battle on his body. Yet the creature still stood, seemingly unfazed by the fight, with nothing to show for it but a wound in its face and hopefully a few bruises on its body.
"Is your master coming?" Seiger called out to Pegasus, "We sure could use some help!"
Koto set her fan away, and then heard the boy say something about the horse's master coming. Pegusus's ears shot forward in amusement, he looked at Seiger, he shook his mane, and then nickered indicating that Hercules wasn't coming.
Koto looked at the horse, and tried to ask Seiger who its master was, but was cut off but the horse suddenly pulled her by her sleeve, and whenever it stopped, cloth still in mouth, it threw her up by it. The horse quickly flew under her, making her nimbly land side-saddle on its back. After noticing she wasn't on the ground anymore, she immediately threw her arms around its neck for protection.
The horse seemed delighted to be flying again, but this time with a guest, or two. Koto felt a jerk fowards, and noticed the wind swimming against her body, she closed her eyes tightly reminded herself how much she hated heights. The horse at taken off, but soon landed carefully on its hooves again, face-to-face with the boy.
Gently, the feathered horse nudged his shoulder upward sending him up into the air like he had did with Koto. Pegusus let out a whinny, and before you knew it, the boy had fallen on the horse's back just as she did only landing western-style.
As suddenly as it all happened, they were in the air. High up, soaring through the sky. Koto didn't understand where the horse was taking them, but where ever she hoped they would land soon. She opened her eyes again, desperately tried to keep her arms still warped around the horse's neck, and forced herself not to look down.
The winds buffeted the passengers and Seiger felt an overwhelming sense of joy, flight being one of his dreams. He briefly wondered if his sword would give him that power, or if that was the reason why he favored the wind element so much, even as the horse flew erratically to dodge the attacking dragon. Using his thighs to grip the sides of Pegasus, Seiger flicked his sword and sent a gust of wind at the monster's legs, throwing its legs from underneath it and causing it to crash to the ground.
Pegasus seemed to laugh its approval, wheeling about the dragon in triumph. Glancing at the bandaged girl, Seiger briefly frowned, her eyes tightly welded shut and her grip on the horse seemingly iron-hard. The grip seemed to tighten as Pegasus did a corkscrew in mid-air, the joy of flight apparently filling its mind.
"It's not dead yet, buddy," Seiger laughed along with the mythical beast, "But what's the plan now? Strike from above? Or run?"
Pegasus, still flying, looked down for a moment at the creature. He nickered once more, and then dived down for the monster. The dragon tried hard to clamp his teeth around the horse, but Pegasus nimbly dodged the attacks until his luck almost wore out. The dragon came close to grabbing the winged horse by the tail, but was stopped by a sound. Thunder?
Koto peeled open her eyes, and blinked as she thought she had heard thunder followed by a painful roar. Pegasus didn't miss his chance to escape from the scaly reptile, as soon has he heard the crack of the lightning, he took off. Koto looked back, and saw that the reptile had fallen, and now curled into itself like it was either dying, or injured. After hearing no noise, she knew it had to have been dead.
Where had the thunder bolt came from? There was no hint of any storm in the climate, it was strange. Pegasus, probably realizing that the beast was dead, started flying off to another destination, but something went wrong as they soared over thick forests, the horse tried to land neatly in a middle of a small clearing, but was hit by an unexpected branch in the head, and made a crash landing to earth.
Koto yelped as they hit, and opened her eyes after wards. The feathered horse was a few feet away from her lying on his back looking up at the sky, a small sneeze escaped his nostrils, and he rolled over. As for Seiger, he was farther away from the others. Koto forced herself up, painfully, and looked upwards. She could see the branches they had hit on their way down, on the trees you could see where they had snapped, and she gave a small sigh.
The horse was already back on its feet, and Koto walked over to Seiger. She looked down at him, and asked, "Are you alright?" She held out a hand to him if he needed any help standing. The fall had been rough, but Koto was rather happy they were back on the ground. People didn't have wings for a reason, a good one at that.
OOC: Didn't reply yesterday cos I couldn't think of a way to make my post mean anything. Still can't =P
BIC:
Seiger grabbed the bandaged girl's hand as she hauled him to his feet, the boy grinning like a maniac, his whole body shaking with excitement. "That. Was. So. COOL!" he nearly screamed, the joy of the flight having taken over his mind. Looking over at Pegasus, he realized that the swift flight had taken them into a forest of sorts, emerald trees surrounding them. Turning to speak with Pegasus, Seiger let go of the girl's hand. It was so soft...
"So, Pegasus," he called out to the winged horse, dusting off his clothes as he spoke, "What's next?"
Koto flinched a little from being startled as the boy yelled at how cool the crash had been. She watched as he looked around at his surrounding, and she had to fight an urge to tell him he could let go of her hand now, but eventually, whenever he turned to the winged horse, he released it, and began to talk to Pegasus.
The horse was looking up at the trees, and skies with his jaw hanging until Seiger's words broke him out of the trance. He straightened up, faced the two humans, and nickered his reply, which of course made no sense to them, and didn't expect them to understand any of it. Pegasus pranced over towards the two, sat down in front of them, and cocked his head towards the side.
Koto closed her eyes and listened to the horse for awhile until it sounded as if everything had came to silence. She heard the gentle sounds of water flowing not too far away, and blinked her eyes open. Beyond the horse was a small stream, Koto gently grabbed Seiger's shoulder, and muttered something like, "You're hurt," and walked with him over towards the water. She sat herself down on her knees, cupped some water into her hands, and poured it over her hurt shoulder. "My name is Koto.." She mumbled quietly to him as doing this.
Koto. Well, it sounded better than the nickname he had given her. Watching her splash water over her wounds, the images of Chihiro came to mind again.
0...0...0
"Aw, crap," she grimaced, "My knee..."
"Chihiro!" Seiger stood there gaping at the girl, "You just sai-"
"Oh, nevermind what I said," she turned her fiery red eyes on him, "Are ya gonna help?"
0...0...0
Another splash brought him back to reality as Koto continued to clean her wounds. Seiger summoned his sword and brought the flat of his blade to the various cuts on his body, pressing it against the wounds. Power flowed between his body and the sword, healing the wounds in the process. Glancing at the water, he swore he could've seen a shape in the water, but as soon as he looked it disappeared.
"Hi, Koto," Seiger finally said, his sword shimmering out of existance, "I'm Seiger, Seiger Talis. So, did Pegasus tell you about this stre-" A roar of water cut his sentence off as something broke the surface of the water. Yelping, Seiger leapt back and turned to face whatever had leapt out of the water.
Koto remained silent as Seiger spoke, looking down at the water almost the whole time. Suddenly, a roar had cut off the last part of his sentence, and something had flew from the water's surface. She looked up slowly, her eyes following the path of hooves, legs, and then the whole creature of what appeared to be a horse with a mans upper body. Koto mumbled something like, "For the love of..." But soon trailed off after. The River Guardian began to speak looking at her, "Hehehe, so you've came back, darling." Koto resisted the urge to say, "I think you've been mistaken.." So she just kept her mouth shut, and her eyes narrowed.
The River Guardian grabbed Koto by her waist, and held her up to him with her arms pinned uselessly towards her sides. She shrugged away as far as possible, and set a wicked glare on the horse man, who seemed not to notice. He was lowering his face towards hers, but stopped and opened his eyes for a moment. Koto took the advantage to get as far away as possible, and this time, the creature seemed to noticed she wasn't who he was looking for. "You're not M-" The beast began, but Koto wouldn't let him complete his sentence, she kicked him in one of his knees, making him dropped her.
She landed on her feet, and muttered, "Right you are.." lowly. She grabbed her over-sized weapon which was by her feet, and jumped back towards Seiger side, staring up hauntingly at the River Guardian who was hollering while jumping up and down holding his injured knee.
"You! You're not her!" the centaur roared in indignition, "Who are you?! Why have you disturbed me!"
"Sorry, bro," Seiger relaxed and dropped his stance. Centaurs were creatures of renown, famed for their wisdom. They were also sometimes war-loving, but mostly they were wise star gazers. At least that was what he heard of them in the underworld. "We're not 'her', we're us. Seiger and Koto. Need me to heal that wound for you?"
"No!" the beast raiised his arm and swung at Seiger, who nimbly ducked under the strike and hopped backwards, "You will leave! You will-" A nicker cut him off as Pegasus approached the stream, gazing upon the centaur, who now wore a strange look. Seiger could not decide if it was fear or shock.
"You...!" the centaur muttered under his breath as Seiger looked Koto over, checking her for wounds of any sort.
Koto narrowed her eyes at the Centaur, and mumbled, "I believe it was you who disturbed us," lowly. Seiger offered to help heal the horse man's wounds, but instead, the beast raised a hand, and swung at as Seiger. Koto easily avoided getting hit by taking a side-step away. Luckily, Seiger also found a way to not get hit by ducking, and hopping backwards.
Then, she heard a nicker from Pegasus as he approached the stream, giving the Centaur a face. Pegasus gave a jeer, and then a big grin. It was about time he met his old friend. The horse lifted itself off of the ground, flew over to the River Guardian, and tauntingly flipped over on his back, pointed a hoof at the blue Centaur, and threw a laughing fit all while the majestic horse was still in the air.
Koto closed her eyes as Pegasus was having his fun, and could feel eyes on her, those of Seiger probably. "I'm fine," she muttered, and opened her eyes again to face Seiger, "but you can't be too sure about him..after I'm finished." She spoke indicating to Centaur, but of course it seemed more as a threat then a serious situation. She wouldn't fight the horse man unless she had to, and if she did, that would be whenever she would kick its butt from touching her like that.
OOC: Just got back from a short 'trip'. Erm... Do you have a story in mind for this centaur? If so then go for it =)
BIC: "Easy now, fiesty," Seiger mumbled to Koto, "We don't know who he is or what he wants, so let's just stay on our guard for now. You!" he turned his attention to the centaur and called out to him, "What do you want!"
"So many years..." the centaur muttered as he continued to glare at Pegasus, "So long, and you finally appear, but without him..."
I have no idea of what his story could be. Who knows, maybe he's a big fan of Wonderboy, or something.
Bic:
Pegasus stopped laughing, rolled over, and landed back on the ground, getting back to the serious business. His ears flipped forward, and then he snorted. The Centaur had to be talking about Hercules. Who else would 'him' be, after all? The horse cocked his head, and tried to figure out what the horse man meant. He was suppose to bring Hercules to him?
Koto didn't say anything. Of course Seiger was right, she listened, and waited for a reply from the Centaur after he had asked what he wanted. The horse man, unfortunately didn't answer, but continued his icy glare at Pegasus. The horse seemed not to understand anything, but then again, Pegasus didn't seemed all that bright any how.
