The Balinor Chronicles: The Celestial Herd
Chapter Sixty-Four: And So

And so the Twilights left the Celestial Valley.

And so they traveled with Arioch and Moloth, their only leaders left, to the land of the Fiery Fields, the seat of power of the Shifter Lords.

And so it was, that the coats of the Twilights, tinted by the fires of their souls and the ash of the Fields, completed their darkenings, and remained forever black. Their jewels, once the glittery gems that bedeck the world, reverted, as all things do, to their natural state. And all things return to carbon. Not the pressure treated sparkly baubles that grace necks, but rather the tough, powdery, industrious coal, upon the back of which the great nations arose. All things flowed to black in the end.

And so it was that the line of Moloth flowered as strength won mates; and so it was that all of his line bore the burning eyes of the Fire line.

And so it was that the Twilights rose to power.

And so it was the Shadows were born.

And so it was that the first game of the Deskman and the Intruder was over. But who, I beg ye, won?
