Tempus has spoken!
It’s early morning when the goose arrives, alighting in the center of the courtyard. For several minutes the bird sits and watches, observing the comings and goings of the Court, sticking out like a sore thumb in a sea of equines.
Until she spies the Sovereign.
She puffs up her feathers, dark eyes gleaming with anticipation in the early morning light. Her moment was now: her attention was on Florentine alone, her gaze zeroing in upon the flowery mare.
She is a common goose, her feathers bright and her eyes brighter, beak dipped in black. Her visage alone is not what captures attention: it's the way she watches the Sovereign, her confidence that she is more than an ordinary bird. She walks directly into Florentine's path and stops there, unmoving, giving the Sovereign a choice: change her path, or wait for the bird to have her say.
After a moment of staring her down, ensuring she has captured Florentine's attention, the goose speaks.
Not with the voice of a goose--but one of a God, spoken in the common tongue. And it sounds not like one voice, but several, perhaps even hundreds: young and old, a different version of the same voice for every age, speaking in unison across the yard and throughout the entirety of the Court:
“You will come.”
The parchment tied to her ankle comes undone by its own accord, invisible hands pulling its ends apart. It unfurls in mid air, hovering just before the Sovereign so that she and any others might read what is written within:
Your presence is required a week from today. I have cleared a section of Veneror Peak for us to meet.
Bring with you two others whom you trust. Do not think you can hide from me.
Go in peace.
There is no signature, no hint as to who wrote the letter... but something tells you this can only be the work of the deities.
Welcome to Novus’ first Summit! Your Sovereign is required to participate in this SWP. This will be a political meeting for the four Courts to come together on neutral grounds and discuss relations.
It is highly encouraged for the Sovereign to attend: be aware, Tempus will not respond kindly if Florentine is absent. It is expected for all members of the Regime to attend the meeting (@
