Hey, gang- wasn't sure that this update would get up in time. New character alert! And how bout that snarling doggie? It's that time of year again where I become swamped with freelance and holiday responsibilities, so I will be taking a two-week hiatus from posting Xylia updates. Sorry for the inconvenience, but it can't be avoided. I will post more news here in the coming days though, and hopefully I will post a holiday pic as well! Thank you for reading! ~B
