Welcome to Gaia! ::

Small black ears perked high, as the sound of rolling thunder called off from a distance, beckoning towards the inhabitants of the area to clear off and find solace, for soon it would be overhead, but no quite yet. Lifting his head slowly, the strange creature known as Jack-B-Nimble watched as the dark clouds rolled in slowly, and took initiate to take towards the forest, and high grass.

Looking around as the forest thickened slowly, he noticed that the creatures of the area had decided to take shelter from the storm, and wondered deep inside if there was another soul who would rather enjoy the feeling of a good downpour, such as he.

Maybe he was as strange as Splend said he was..

It was as if the heavens had opened up their gates, to show a magical dance of lights and sounds for those daring enough to enjoy the show, those bold enough to strike against it and bear their faces to those higher and more beautiful beings than those who dwelled on land. But never the less, it wasn't the sound of the thunder that rolled overhead, but the sound of very defined footfalls that finally turned the jagged-mawed Unicorn to regard the other, eyes lighting up the area where the storm had taken over with it's dark clouds.

Regarding the other for only a moment, he turned back, with a soft, but well heard chuckle. "It sssurely is a ssight to see, iss it not? The heavenss are telling uss a story - if I had the ability to create the muss~ic that resides in my ssoul, it would sssing the song that the rain iss playing for uss." he stated, his spirits high and his maw even higher, almost as if he were literally grinning ear to ear.

It didn't take him more than a moment to understand the curiosity that was suddenly instilled in the other from the storm, and taking a moment to glance to the other form, he just nodded softly, and watched for a small gap of time, to read the storm, as if reading a book or a music sheet. With flick of his long tail, compass flailing with the wind behind him, he started.

"It sspeaks of worldss beyond ourss, past the mountainsss, singing taless of it's journey, through vass~t praries and large lakes that go for miless. The Heavens grace us with it's dancess, the lightning is it's puppet and it tugss it around the sky for uss." he starts, his usual sharp glance softening as his bright, luminescent eyes watch the clouds, the rain picking up their glow at times, bouncing the light off into the air. Turning his head as the lightning danced before them once again, sending the sky into a frenzy of sound, he couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"The storm came sweeping in from in front of uss.. therefore it comess from lands where the music is sweet, and yet, ssharp with instruments that would make your ssoul quiver. It singss about the ocean, it's mother home, where all sstorms begin." he finished up, nodding softly. "It isss an old storm, it shall find it's home soon.."

A light laugh broke from the position, as the unicorn regarded his parnter for this flirt with nature, his eyes skirting over to him once more, internally amusing the idea that atleast he, himself, wasn't such an overly unique soul this time. His newfound acquaintance wasn't too shabby himself.

Whence the statement was finished, he couldn't help but give a nod as a sharp fork of lightning shone throughout the sky, lightning up the path ever so much more, as he turned his attention back "I wouldn't bank on it - they are interesssting - great pride ressides in those billowing black cloudssss. As if it knowsss how dangerous and commanding it can be. We are but two of the few brave watchersss this day, I am sure it will find a ssecluded sspot to finally ressst it's weary ssoul." he answered, watching the rain sheet across the land. "I am ssure Mother Nature will accept hisss final wissshes, definitally watering her plantsss." came the finish of that statement, as he chuckled once more.

As the thunder opened the sky, like a defiant heartbeat of the old storm, the stallion waiting for the song of the rain to die down before he could return with an intellegent answer. His own heart beat in perfect tune with the thunder and the pelting rain that sang out to him. It was almost heaven on earth - as all good storms had been. But he could feel it starting to end.

Turning back to the other stallion, he finally shook his head a bit, dispersing some of the flyaway mane from his eyes to take a good look through the glowing rain around him. "It's a very powerful sounding name, Lucario. Pleasant on the ears though." he first stated. "I am called Jack-B-Nimble; although I am unsure if that is my birthname. Feel free to use it - I answer it freely, and readily." He couldn't remember when he had received such a strange title - but it had lived on his heart since he was a foal... since before his accursed state.

The energy of the storm had quickly taken over the conversation, the reminder of the power that streamed through the clouds overhead, almost as if it had attempted to tell both the bold souls that although it was an aged storm; it was still with it's power, and would not take being called a weakened storm.

With the sickeningly sweet smell of a tree's last breath as it fell to the storm, the leaves that bypassed them in the air made the glowing one look over head, his fur standing on edge, and his heart racing. After what seemed like forever, the storm's raging song finished rumbling through the air, and the sky returned to it's solumn rain.

With a tight chuckle, the older stallion shook his head softly, before giving his acquaintance a short glance. "I would asssume that we may have offended the storm ssomewhat. It wasss not amused by it'sss age being apparent." he whispered out, just loud enough for the other to hear. A repeat performance of lightning would be far too much for them to withstand. "I wouldn't be ssurprised if it took down a mighty tree... to.. our left I would believe." He stated, looking towards where the wind was carrying the refuse from the marked point.

A content chuckle filled the air as the accursed soul showed his amusement to the sudden words of kindness and awe to the storm that danced overhead. The question fit perfectly well with what the dark Unicorn had, himself, thought of a moment before, and without hesitation, he lifted his head towards the area of debris, his large eyes still making the slightly lightening rain glow like gemstones falling to the ground.

"Well then we should make hassss~te, follow me, I believe I know where he hasss hit." he stated, starting off on a light trot. This was not time for rushing, it was far too important to make too much haste at a wonderful time like this.
