The roar of thunder followed closely on the heels of a blade of lightning that forked through the cool spring air, electricity crackling on the breeze. An unsettling rumble coursed through the ground underfoot like the tremors and aftershocks of an earthquake, and Roland did not need to hear the Time God's spoken demand to know they were being summoned. Storms were unusual for Birdsong, especially so far north, and this was no simple anomaly of the weather. It was the first stirrings of excitement since his return to the Basin, the first appearance he would make in the crowd that so quickly gathered whenever a meeting commenced, and the copper stallion made his way towards the formidable silhouette of the deity with no small sense of trepidation stirring within his chest.

He had been absent from the north for so long, with no opportunity to learn of all that he had missed. There was no way of telling whether the God had appeared before them to share good news or ill tidings, though with the storm turning violently overhead, he had a strong feeling it was the latter. The Phantom slid into form with the rest of his herd mates, scanning the crowd for faces both familiar and new. Now more than ever he noticed the changes that had occurred while he was away, and as he listened with an idle ear to the greetings that were called out, he noticed the leaders he had come to know were nowhere to be seen. With concern edging its way into his mind, Roland turned his full attention to the deity that stood before them, waiting anxiously for his announcement.

Push your luck if it makes you a promise
that turns con men honest.
