MAXENCE LOOKING UP FOR HEAVEN
With bones strung to the straps of his harness and the smell of decay following the sinking flesh upon them, Maxence questioned on whether the offering would be enough to appease the gods above. Regardless, it was more a symbol of what the bones and decaying flesh had once been that Maxence brought to their lord of a sunburst throne, one who Maxence had never had the privilege to see or hear the voice of like he knew some had. There were those like Avdotya who seemed to be living, breathing proof of Solis' touch given her impressive sand-stirring abilities. The Elder Teryr he had slain, a beast that wreaked havoc over the canyon long before even Zolin's dynasty, and here Maxence was bringing a trophy of it's femur to the mountain of gods as an offering. Surely Solis would not shy his nose from it. Flaring his wings at the mountain's peak and nestling his chin against the precious cargo nestled unto his harness, Maxence landed with a swoosh and a beat of his hooves upon the sleet covered mountain top. The air was thin here and certainly hard to fly upon given his weight, though a quick trek to and from the mountain would do little damage - this he realised as his breathing steadied, his feet grabbing into the narrow path up the mountain side. Upon reaching the summit the commander set down the bone taken from the body of the slain beast, one he had dedicated to Solis himself and all of Solterra. Without a glance behind to see which of his comrades had ended up following him on his excursion to the mount, the sovereign began his words of mass. "Solis," He began, eyes cast down upon the offering out of fear for the heavens above. "From the clutches of Elatus I bring you the bones of an Elder Teryr, slain by your faithful Solterrans. Give us your mercy, your blessing, your faith in our time of revolution..." A prayer for solis. anyone welcome, though Maxence would be super pleased to see some day court fellows come to worship their patron god :) |
