 I know how Arakko thinks. What they expect. Across the plains, the thunder is a song. I am exhilarated. Dangerously so. The air smells electric and alive, the clouds have taken shape. I will not break for Arakko, I tell myself. Not yet. But I know storms. And when they do break... is when they show their true face.
