bright shining as the sun
It sat there bathed in sunlight. “Still as a statue” wasn’t meant just as a simile, of course, but actual fact. It’s harsh edges were prominent and hard, the faces smooth like steel. The shrine and pedestal upon which it sat, however, seemed rather the opposite. They were unkept, with creeping ivy beginning its slow domination of the stone. It was clear that since the obscenely devout Inkheart’s sudden departure, no one had really taken the time to maintain the sacred shrine.
There was peace on the peak, with all of nature proceeding as normal through the day. Until there was a sudden glint on the golden eyes of the statue. Anyone might have thought it just a trick of the sun, reflecting off the spherical structure. A few seconds passed, and it happened again. Then again.
And now onlookers might have doubted their eyes, their very sanity: the wild, wind-whipped mane of the Sun God began to ripple and wave in a sudden breeze. Wilder and wilder it snapped through the air, until — as quickly as it had started — it returned to its original pose and stilled.
Was it all in the imagination? A hallucination?
Nay— for there is a new presence atop Veneror’s Peak. A thrum in the air, almost tangible, audible, joins the energy of the wood and beasts. The statue is no longer JUST a status. Those nearby will feel its power deep to their core, will see the confident smile grace his golden lips as the god steps down from his pedestal.
A smooth, baritone voice whispers in the shrine.... “We have returned. Let them all witness our glory and power.” The unknown will soon be made known, and the news will travel far and wide— Solis has returned to Novus.
Solis' statue has disappeared also from his shrine in Veneror Peak! The deity has materialized into her statue's form and is now wandering about Novus as a horse, along with Caligo and Vespera.
