Hello, ElfCollaborator here. Normally, I do not make uploads that are not pertaining to the story without a very good reason to, mainly to inform the readers about sudden updates during a hiatus. This is one of those times.

What follows this is not a joke nor is it a troll. I received the news just five minutes ago-as of this writing-as I woke up. I checked to verify that this was indeed the case.

What you may not know is that Monty Oum, the creator of RWBY himself, has suffered a severe medical emergency and is in critical condition. According to Burnie, "it is not known if he will recover."

My condolences are with his family and friends, and I hope he will recover readily. Please, if you can, support them as well as you can. I had to get this message out because I wish to get as many people to support him and his loved ones as I possibly can.

Otherwise, I wish you all a good day, ElfCollaborator out.
