The days pass one after the other in ceaseless repetition: at morning the waves recede, revealing the ocean’s floor and all the treasures it hides. The thunderbirds swarm angrily overhead, lightning flashing between their talons as their massive wings create wind and storms with every beat. Occasionally two will face off against one another, and the colliding winds set off a hurricane of swirling rain and fury. By evening the waves come crashing back in to reclaim the shores, sweeping into the Court like a thief in the night.
It is when the sky grows dark, and the waters finally begin abate after the recent tsunami, that she arrives.
She emerges from the sea, seaweed and seashells and pearls tangled in her hair, so that it appears even more a chaotic and untameable mess than it already is. The miniature stars painted across her skin sparkle brilliantly, seeming to glow with intensity with each step that brings her closer to her Court.
But it is her eyes that shine the brightest, as brilliant as identical moons set in the galaxy of her body.
Caligo wanders the streets of Denocte, leaving no street or pathway untraveled. Every face she sees she beckons to her with a smile and a gesture. “Come, follow me,” becomes her mantra - and soon enough, half the Court is following the demigoddess. She says little else, trusting in them to keep faith.
When a sufficient number of followers have answered her call, she heads back to the ocean. The sand gives way beneath her hooves, water from the earth pooling in her hoofprints. Soon enough she climbs an outcrop of rock that looks out over the ocean and comes to a stop, letting the horses of Denocte crowd around her.
Overhead, the thunderbirds circle - but past them, the stars begin to wink into existence one by one.
“Look,” she tells the children of the Night Court. “Look above, and tell me what you see.”
