The sun god wasn’t surprised when they came - why would they not flock to him, like moths to a flame? Solis was the sun incarnate, and in a winter wasteland he was just the cure this Court needed.
Or so he would let himself believe.
Even the frowns and the grumblings, the ”fuck off”s and other muttered curses could not wipe the stallion’s smile from his lips. Even bad press was better than no press, after all, and Solis thrived in the attention. Still, he swung his golden head to look @
“That’s a good one,” he applauded him with false praise, laughter accompanying his words. “Is the cold getting to you? Come closer, warm your hooves and fur. I don’t bite.” Sometimes. He turned away, leaving it up to the black and white Solterran to take up his offer or not - but the air surrounding Matthias grew noticeably warmer, sweltering even, so that the snow began melting into steam.
“Where’s Seraphina? Is our studious Sovereign busy in her books again?” he joked lightheartedly, eyes roving across the group of equines who had joined him. “It makes no matter, she’s the one missing out. I heard you guys threw a snow party without me.”
In actuality, parties were the least of the god’s concern. He came here today with a mission, and his pride would not let him to fail at it. Of course, it would be easier to just wave a magic wand and turn the snow to sand, but alas, things wouldn’t be so simple today.
The sun god considered laying down and making himself comfortable, but thought better of it. “Alas. In all the years since Novus was created, never has there been snow in Solterra. Snow is unnatural. This is the result of deep magic, magic that does not belong here.”
He takes a second to look around at the gathered faces, wondering which would prove themselves useful in the commoner adventure. The Davke he had no doubt - they were strong and fearless, had grown up hunting animals and horses alike. The newcomers he was less certain of; they would have to prove themselves.
“There’s a beast out there in the Mors. A whole herd of beasts. It’s past time we went out and found them.”
Everybody's (least) favorite god is back! Solis is proposing a hunt of sorts, to find the beast(s) that have brought this curse upon the Day Court. Are you with him?
