Because of the efforts made by the Dawn Court, the fire shrinks by the hour. Strips of blackened earth separate the capitol from the Viride forest, and the ground smolders and smokes underfoot. The air is still thick with the scent of burning wood, the skies darkened with grey - but for the time being, the world seems as though it is righting itself once more.
On the front lines, a figure can be seen stepping in and out amongst the flames, disappearing one moment only to reappear the next, dancing alongside the fire. He hides in the shadows the wildfire casts, but the sun inscribed upon his forehead has never seemed brighter. With every step he takes, another flame finds itself smothered into nonexistence, extinguished by the god of the dawn.
The sun rises on a new world, war-torn and ravaged, smoke curling through every corner of Delumine.
As the morning light shines upon the Dawn Court, Oriens leaves the burned forest behind him. It takes the better part of a day to reach the capitol - for he stops frequently, gathering new followers all along the way. He moves like a ghost, hardly seeming to breathe, never daring to speak, an air of mystery surrounding him. The very air thrums and cracks with energy that seems to be coming from the god himself - and also taking its toll. Oriens head hangs low, his shoulders stooped, his once brilliant mane and tail sooty with ash, his coat dull and lackluster. Only the sun upon his forehead continues to glow.
When he finally enters the courtyard of the castle, it seems a wonder he does not collapse in exhaustion.
“Dawn Court,” he calls out, but his voice is soft and dull. “Come, my children, gather.” He leaves it to the citizens to spread the word and come round. Time seems to pass agonizingly slowly as he waits for the Court to respond.
He will wait, as only one borne of Time itself can, for the Court of the Morning Sun to arrive.
