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.

Twilight Town... A place of beauty. A World of perpetual Twilight, a place of peace and prosperity. This World was barely touched by Heartless. In truth, it was usually the Nobodies causing trouble here. The golden rays, a mix of Light and Darkness, seemed to draw them in numbers.
Well, that was why Amadeus was here, anyways.
The cool breeze fluttered by his face as he lay on the top of a nearby hill, the big hill at the end of the Terrace. It was odd to watch a Nobody be lazy. They looked, well, dead. The Nameless Nobody didn't have a face, so it didn't help that he was sprawled out on top of the rise. The trolley thundered beneath him and he twitched with happiness. Complete relaxation...
His antennae twitched as people walked below. The Twilight Town community was so odd. They were always going to and fro, to work and then back. Humans had such weird ways. He enjoyed them, though, as much as a Nobody could. When he played his music they would sometimes gather. But some of them tried to attack every once in a while. Only those who knew what a Nobody was anyways.
The Nobody wondered if he was a person as well sometimes.
Whew! The weather in Twilight Town was quite intense today, it didn't matter much to the ghostly Summoner, but she just didn't like how the heat made her feel, good thing she finally got around to buying new garments for this particular place.
Now clad in a white thin strapped handkerchief top with the silver feather embroidering hem cut at short and long lengths, just above knee length silver leggings and two inch heeled sandals, she didn't want to change too much about her style, feathers...were like a symbol to her...
Speaking of which, she smiled whilst touching the white feather in her hair, it was somewhat like a gift from an unusual aquiantance.
Heaven waited for a while at the Terrace, her guardian should've been along shortly, she said that she'd meet here after she bought her new garments, hopefully he'd recognise her still either way. "Maybe this place isn't so bad..." she smiled whilst playing with the chain around her neck, staring out at the intense sun, wondering, thinking...
Arthas ran to the Terrace, cursing himself for waiting until the last minute to meet Heaven. He managed to reach the Terrace on the nick of time, and immediately saw Heaven. She wore different garments, and Arthas didn't blame her. He himself had left his cloak off and wore a loose fencing shirt and his normal pants. He had also removed his headband, causing his hair to fall over his ears. He walked up to Heaven, placing an arm on her shoulders. "Heya." he whispered into her ear.
((Oh, you must have already received the message. ^.^ Good deal.))
The Nobody turned slightly. A pair of people had entered the terrace. He peered over the edge of the balcony/roof he was sitting on, wondering who they might be. They smelled odd.
As he looked over, he met two people, one with the lightest of hair. She looked almost like a Nobody! A flash of joy erupted in the Nobody's empty shell as he played a quick series of bouncing notes. It was funny. The burning in the being's stomach continued as he enjoyed the scene. His black hat sank further over his blank face, and his antennae twitched again.
He wanted to go see the Nobody-coloured lady up close!
He pulled himself up, feeling his shell drag slightly from his lack of movement for the past few hours. His white skin seemed to shimmer in the twilight and he relished it as he scrambled down from the rooftop. He hit the ground with grace and wandered up to the pair. He stopped a few yards away and examined them with awe. The lady wore Nobody colors too!
Heaven twitched slightly as she felt Arthas put his arm around her, it was something she wasn't expecting, but at least he was here now. "You took your time, my beloved Guardian" she said with a hint of humour in her tone as she smiled and poked his nose.
At that moment, Heaven heard something thump very softly, it could've been something trivial, but this was Twilight Town. Apparently beings called Nobodies seemed to like lurking here, though they were rumours, but could they really be facts? Heaven just shrugged it off and turned where the sound came from, she stumbled at the sight but gained her balance. What in Spira's name was that?
She tugged on her Guardian's arm, getting him to look at the strange white and silver creature. Heh, white and silver, a slight resemblance...
Being Heaven, she didn't know what a Nobody was or looked like, so...could she really be in any danger here with this graceful moving creature? She took a few small steps forward. "Hello...are you lost?" she asked, staring.
(Acually, I just happened to see my name in the title! ^_^)
Arthas hugged Heaven close, the feeling of her close to him filling his body with joy. Then he felt her tug on his sleeve, and turned around. Standing there was some sort of creature. Arthas looked at it with interest. "What.....are you?" he asked, confused.
The Nobody tilted his head as the two talked to him. It examined the two as they drew slightly nearer and walked forward. The Nobody caught an odd scent.
Before, it had been nulled. But the Nobody felt the Heart of the white woman. He could hear the ocean waves... See the sand. He had seen the sand once in his life, and he had never heard this song from it. The colors green and blue echoed in his mind and the Nobody just stared at the lady, his eyes hidden beneath the black hat. One antenna twitched.
It didn't want to let go of that feel. So... amazing. The Nameless Nobody felt a yearning feeling for the first time in his life. He wanted to hear that song.
Heaven tilt her head at the strange being. No reply. Maybe it couldn't speak? That was quite awkward, but she'd keep trying, she smiled at the creature. "My name is Lady Kyrie Fallen, but others call me Heaven," she felt quite odd for her to be talking to someone that she assumed couldn't talk, what else could she say to it?
She then held her hand out to it, wondering if it knew what a handshake was. "Do you have a name?" she asked, hoping to recieve a nod or head shake, surely everyone had a name, but then again, not everyone did once she thought about it.
The Summoner then looked over at Arthas, hoping that he'd at least try to communicate with the unknown creature, she wasn't really sure what to do. It wasn't long before she looked back at the elegant being, she sensed a gentleness from it, it was the type of creature that looked threatening yet a good feeling came from the inside.
It was like a connection. A bond. Just like her Aeons...
Arthas tilted his head at the creature. It wasn't human, he knew that...... but what could it be? It couldn't be a Heartless either. He saw Heaven hold her hand out to it and ask it its name. Then Arthas remembered a rumor he had heard from one of his contacts in Twilight Town. The contact had said that creatures called Nobodies were popping up all over the town. He wanted to pull Heaven back, but could sense that the creature meant no harm. "Are........you a Nobody?" asked Arthas.
Amadeus, the Nameless Nobody, examined the two with curiosity. The free memories that floated around in his mind went into sharp focus as he remembered the earthen human, the one who smelled like wood.
The boy who had the slow song. He had enjoyed that boy, but they had split. Although the Nobody knew that the boy who had given him a song would return one day. The Nobody threw his hands up into the air and summoned his flute. The Shift Sonata shimmered in the light. He pointed to his own chest as he started to play.
The song that represented his very being. The flute began to shine, and in a mere moment, he held a beautiful silver violin, fretting as the bow slid across the strings at amazing speeds. The air around them picked up the beat, and the sounds of drums thundered from the clouds. Whether it was illusion or magic, the Nobody couldn't say, but an orchestra echoed quietly around them, as if the music were alive. The air compressed, and in the area in which the Nobody played, a sprinkling of rain fell as the Residue condensed into Magic, summoning the spell Water.
But that song, that was his name. The boy had called it Amadeus.
He looked to the man who had said, "Nobody". That was a word Amadeus knew. He nodded as he let the violin float off behind him. The bow slowly began to evaporate away, until the Shift Sonata was gone. He looked between the two, and then back to the white woman. Her song was still echoing in his head.
Heaven...could not believe what she had just witnessed. This creature, this "Nobody", it seemed far different from any other. Was it because of its skill to play melodies that could've been considered illusions? Or just the fact that it seemed...gentle? Unlike most, this Nobody had not attacked them.
The pale Summoner didn't know whether this was a trick or not, but if so, why did she sense a gentleness coming from this white and silver creature? Just like her. She could feel a slight connection, almost as if she understood. But, she could've been wrong, Heaven tried not to judge something or someone wrongly at first meeting, that's something that she didn't have in common with a Human.
Digressing, Heaven thought about that for a while. the way she saw it, it seemed natural, in a Human's nature to categorise and misjudge at first sight, there was no stopping it, that's just how she thought Humans were, her personality was more like a Guado yet she looked like a Human, even though she had slight traits to a Human's personality.
She considered herself a Guado more than a Human, what she had seen so far in Humans is that they were ruthless, selfish, and judgemental, but...she knew that not all were like that, she was sure that there were some that may have thought like a Guado, or maybe something better.
Now, back to the matter at hand, Heaven focussed her attention on the white and silver being before her, she wondered why it seemed somewhat intrigued, but for what reason? That, she didn't know...
"Hmm...it doesn't seemed to be responding with idiolect..." she said, looking over at Arthas, for some reason, she hoped that he wouldn't attack the creature, she knew that he was her Guardian, and he could be very protective, but the Nobody had not yet done anything wrong.
She turned back to the Nobody. "I wonder why it plays music so beautifully for us..." from the very start, she thought of why it did, could it have been a way of expression or communication? Heaven tried to converse with it whether it was a mute or not.
"I, Lady Kyrie Fallen, am a Summoner of Spira, those who know me here, entitle me as Heaven, do you understtand me?" she smiled slightly, trying to be as polite as possible "it's very nice to meet you, my silver conductor, heheh..."
Things didn't seem to be going too bad at the moment...
This being that sat in front of Aras, this Nobody...... He had heard that they were evil beings, but this creature just seemed interested in them, nothing more. Letting his guard down, he looked at the creature more carefully, taking in every detail. For some reason, this ceature seemed familiar. Thinking back, Arthas tried to remember where he had seen this creature.
Then, it hit him. He had seen a creature smiliar to this one when he was 8, on Tranvia. He turned to Heaven and said, "What do you think? I'm not sure about it, but it doesn't seem hostile."
Was that her Heart? He felt a flurry of strength, and the flute appeared in his hands. The same flute... But it was changing.
Filtering into pieces, the remnants of the silver object turned into a new instrument. The Nobody's cello was taller than he was, and it floated inches off the ground. The Nobody crawled up the neck and began to play...
Low, resounding notes stretched through the air as her heart resounded around them. And from that Heart, in the minds of all those listening, a beach surfaced from the beautiful notes. The surf washed up onto the shore, and a beautiful rain forest dripped with water as a light showed sprinkled it.
And then it all stopped [1:30]. For that small moment, the music changed. The image changed. Now, they were floating amidst a large reef, in the middle of ruined towers from an ancient civilization. Cliffs rose to three sides, and they floated serenely down the river....
The Nobody let the cello continue playing, the music echoing around them, and drew closer to Heaven. It held out one of its white hands to her...
