Some of them leave, some of them stay - and some of them follow.
Solis pays no mind to the ones who leave or stay. He will not waste his breath trying to convince them to follow him. He is the god of the sun. His land is a desert, and he is as hot tempered and unforgiving as the dunes of sand and heat. It is only fitting; to survive in such a place, one must mold themselves to it, embrace it even. Learn to not only live in spite of it, but because of it.
Even gods must follow this rule.
The following he claims is not as big as he would have liked, but his pride is too much to let him comment on it. He is sure he will find those to follow him in Solterra - and if he doesn’t, what does it matter? He knows of his beauty and power and strength, and that is enough for the god. He doesn’t need to be popular.
Even so, he will not be cruel to his followers, nor take their faith for granted. As they walk, he pulls strands of gold from his hair - and he asks each of them in turn what they would like. He crafts it for them in gold, keepsakes to take back to their friends and family. Tokens from the Sun God, testaments to his power and divinity.
He addresses Seraphina last. With a word and a gesture, the other horses fall away and leave the two walking alone: Solis as bright and flaming as the sun, Seraphina as elegant and deadly as the smoke that follows a fire. He spins the golden strand in the air before them, listening to her words with a patience that might seem out of character for the otherwise reckless god.
“No, Seraphina, I did not leave. I have watched Solterra, even all these years away.” It is a partial truth; sometimes, Solis had turned away from the lands of Novus, a blind eye to the actions of the mortals. But he could never look away for long. “What is it you desire, Queen of the Day Court?”
