five: thundere

gold and blue

mixed together

the stars fought to

outshine each other

the day thunder

killed the lightning

and took its place.

lightning streaks like gunfire through the clouds, volleys of thunder shake the air.

FIVE: THUNDERE

Her head rumbled with the beginnings of an oncoming storm. She heaved a great sigh, a whisper of wind rolling across the plain. The grass rustled. The sky darkened. She sat down on the ground.

A raindrop fell. She raised her hand, and thunder rumbled. Satisfied, she laid back on the grass.

There was never lightning in Rake's storms. Only thunder.

Only Thundere.

She closed her eyes and felt rain caress her cheeks, slipping off her face without a trace of water.

Thunder rumbled.
