On this day, Midas and the Clan stood in front of the Golden Gate and an air of expectant vigour was in the air. They had been outside this gate forever now, and it was finally time to venture through to the next part of the maze.
It had been a day since the major Clan Announcement that Midas and the Council made and ever since then, there had been major changes in the Clan and the hearts of the people.
People were more confident and forward-thinking.
The reason was simple. Some of them had leapt the Optimus Body and it was safe to say that they did not need to look back.
If before they were reluctant about taking the leap, Midas had made their decision much simpler for them to make.
For one thing, he did it before them. For another thing, he structured his speech and theme as a whole propaganda event that was centred around "Evolution" and the idea of thinking of change as a positive thing.
