Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rolling clouds clamoring with thunder and screaming winds tore against him as he flew and twisted in the broiling storm. Thunder echoed around him and as lightening struck, he spiraled down, twisting around the bolt of electricity and letting loose a terrifying roar that boomed even louder than the thunder above. A bolt of violet lightening shot forth from his parted jaws and struck the bolt he was chasing, redirecting it to himself before it could strike the tree it was heading towards.

He pulled up abruptly on a sudden gust of wind and back into the twisting clouds he disappeared. He was the color of clouds, his hair the color of a night sky, and he was crackling with purple electricity. He was bright and emblazoned with silver cloud markings.

Somewhere below him a streak of purple caught his gaze and another booming roar left him as he spun and began to dive down, jaws parted, ball clasped between his two from paws, a bolt of electricity charging in his mouth as his bright eyes narrowed and focused on the violet streak below.

Arashi was curious as to how the streak had missed his notice previous to now, it was rare for him not to catch them all. This was like a sport to him, as much as it was a way for him to do his part in protecting his home. He kept lightening from striking his territory and the surrounding territories when the storms got bad, and he kept his physical health in tip top shape doing so.

The path of the streak below was not like most lightening bolts and it confused him enough that he tossed the bolt in his mouth upwards into the sky before spiraling lower to follow the sudden object of interest. What are you? he wondered.

His mind went from focused, curious, and wondering to a single, one word thought,
OW...

His mane was singed and his body ached and suddenly his eyes blurred slightly. His jaws parted and he let loose a long string of electricity, shooting skyward as he crashed into the ground with a huge, thunderous collision. His long body, with all the inertia behind it, created a long furrow in the earth, mud, twigs, and a number of other things caked to him and he lay there dazed.

That had not happened since he'd been very young... He struggled to his feet, coughing and grimacing before spitting out mud. His whole body crackled with violet electricity and the mud on him hardened and as he shook himself it broke and fell off of him. He let loose a frustrated roar before opening his mouth and shooting another bolt of lightening at an incoming bolt.

He remembered now, he had been distracted, something violet had caught his eye before. He looked around from where he was, seeking out the purple that had captured his notice before.
