A breeze rustles the treetops, sending a showering of leaves down onto the fourteen horses waiting below.
The rubble moves bit by bit, piece by piece beneath their telekinesis and their hooves. It is slow work, and many of the pieces refuse to budge, stubborn in their resting place. The heat from Florentine’s portal fails to melt them; the trees protest Ipomoea’s request to yield with a creaky groan. Even the dragon on the outside of the meeting appears to struggle to dig out the rubble where the gates once stood.
For all their effort, it seems an impossible task.
But their persistence was unwavering, their optimism relentless. Even trapped, even despite their many differences and quarrels—the leaders of Novus work together. Despite some of their reluctance, the four corners of Novus mingle together with a sense of determination and cooperation.
The eyes on the statue flicker with light. Time bends to his will, turning over itself slowly but surely.
Off to the side, the trees begin to shake. One by one they shrink, their branches and trunks growing in reverse. They appear to cave into upon themselves, growing now in reverse.
Smaller and smaller they become in both width and height… until in the place of a wall, there are only a dozen saplings. They’ve opened a hole in the barricade, providing room for the equines to file through.
Without a word, the eyes of the statue go dark as quickly as they had brightened, as if the god had never been watching at all.
In the same way he caused the trees to exponentially grow, Tempus has turned back a piece of time and caused a section of trees to revert back into saplings! This creates an opening in the trees, so that the Regimes may their way through to freedom. Each of the equines is now free to leave. The opening is towards the back, away from the entrance; they will need to travel through some forest to get back to the others.
It is up to you how your character chooses to process the event. You are free to confide in other members of your Court, or to keep it a secret! Only one thing is clear: the gods have returned to Novus.
(And Tempus is one Disappointed Dad… will the God of Time continue to meddle?)
