when you're brighter than the stars






Darkness shrouded the statue and wrapped it up in a fine mist that blotted out even the brightest of stars upon her stone hide. Her mane - wild, free, and chaotic - was once so solid, yet now each tendril flowed freely, bound by no mortal material nor being. With a momentous snap, a crack jettisoned up from the base, winding in a jagged line all the way up to the sharp, dominating curve of the Night demigoddess’ neck. And from the depths of that crevice spilled a smog blacker than the darkest of any nights, flowing downwards and then rising up, up, up. Static white noise buzzed through the air and hummed in the ears of all those unfortunate enough to be nearby, obliterating their concentration and numbing their mind.

Pebbles of obsidian, of onyx, of coal, of scattered diamonds and so much more tumbled from the crevice, almost as if Caligo was crumbling before their very eyes. They piled up at the base - and then continued to stack, until they overtook the whole of the statue in a sweeping, hypnotic motion. The smog swirled and filled the spaces between the pebbles, until it too overtook everything.

Then it was all gone, swept away so suddenly by the wind.

And in its place, stood a towering expanse of a mare. Her skin reflected the allure of the deep night sky, her eyes a void darker than any black hole within the galaxy, her hooves harder than any diamond and blacker than any onyx - but did they even touch the sacred, worn stones? The hair that graced the strong crest of her neck - borne heavy with the weight of the world and the hatred of her siblings - wafted elegantly and weightlessly, surrounding her form like a haze. Star-like shimmers reflected across her pelt as diamonds embedded painlessly into her skin. Her manifestation was as ephemeral as it was solid.

She was glorious, beautiful, but oh so bitter. The resentment that exploded within her heart continued to radiate as an immense presence, drowning out every noise and silencing each word. At last, she was here.

She was ready to walk Novus again.

After a pause, Caligo turns from her shrine and from her siblings', and begins making her way down the winding mountain path in her new form.




Caligo's statue has disappeared from her shrine in Veneror Peak! The deity has materialized into her statue's form and is now wandering about Novus as a horse--who knows, maybe you'll encounter the Night Demigoddess herself!

Any threads posted in Veneror Peak for the next 2 weeks has a high chance of encountering the wandering demigoddess!
