Story:
One chilly morning, the wind blew hard it thrashed around the grass and bushes. Aire snorted, at some points she felt like she would go flying but she didnt. The air smelled different, it was strangely warm yet also cold. This confused her as she trotted over the edges of high cliffs. Sharp rocks lay below, her perfect balance prevented her from falling even during very windy days like this. Clouds swirled above her, she of course didnt realize a tornado was in the making. Aire happily trotted along the well-worn path, the smooth stones and dirt beneath her hooves. Flicking her ears, she looked up at the sky, her mane and tail blew in the breeze. Her white face, showed concern after realizing this wasnt an ordinary storm. It didnt feel right, today she knew something was up, different... but what? Breathing heavily, she walked down the cliffside to a rocky cave, she stayed here often if it was raining or when she was sleeping.

Walking past it, she started to nibble on the grass, but stayed close enough to be able to bolt inside to shelter. The tornado of course, started blowing high winds, dangerous ones. A large gust of wind almost took Aire off her feet, neighing in fear and surprise, she slowly fought against the wind to hide in the cave. Rain started to pelt her, it beat down in large heavy drops, as lighting striked and thunder boomed. The tornado was grabbing everything in its path, trees, bushes, and even rocks. Aire grew even more nervous, as she was soaked and the tornado was fastly approaching. Pushing her hardest she finally got to the cave, but still didnt feel the safety she thought she would. Whining she crawled back as far she she could into the cave, it was small, and drippy. Slowly she lay down, and curled p, fear swelled inside her as she closed her eyes. She could hear the tornado's rage, the trees being uprooted, everything. Eventually, she feel asleep, she was very tired, her head hurt as well as her legs. The next morning, she opened her eyes and cautiously came out of the mouth of the cave, looking around the high winds had stopped trees and bushes lay scattered everywhere. Snorting, Aire trotted up the old worn path, and looked around at the damage. It was a lot, but she didnt care, she still had a food and water source as well as shelter. She was okay, her head still hurt but her legs felt a lot better, flicking her ear she yawned and started to eat her breakfast

Story:
Being left alone for a while now, Nexa always had her mind on her home. There was always this warm feeling, but now without her parents on a journey to find food and a herd, Nexa began to feel homesick… It carried on throughout the day… Plus, the weather wasn’t helping either. Bulky black clouds began to gather, sending armies of cold rain down on Nexa’s beautiful greyish coat.

She soon got bored of walking in the rain that seemed to have no stop, along with the fierce wind hitting her with the stones that it picked up. Nexa never seen anything like this.. Tornado’s weren’t very common, nor has she ever heard her mother speak about it.. It was her dad that told all of the stories. So knowing from the facts and her father’s past, Nexa knew that she should have ran away from it, but with the thick wall of rain it was near impossible. So she searched for a cave.
After half an hour of searching in the strong wind and hard rain, Nexa was able to make out a faint shape of a deep cave. Scrambling to the very back of it, the mare’s blue eyes fixed on the entrance. As the wind blew by, it created a howling sound, carrying the music with it. After a while of listening to that, the roots of weak trees began to crack and the whole tree itself was lifted and tossed away, as if a child got a better doll compared to the old rag doll.
It was sad for Nexa to watch all of this happen, she kept wondering if her mother and father were safe.. If they saw it coming.. And if, were they as lucky as Nexa to have found shelter ? Or where they less lucky and.. died ? She couldn’t help but wonder.. And just like a call, Nexa picked up a call.. A whine that could have been a scream.. Yet nothing was to be heard again.. The only thing that was obvious was the howling wind, everything else lay still..

Equid's Name: Xayna
Height: 14 hh
Gender:Mare
Age:3 yeras
Story: Xayna had been playing in the field below the mountains, running, rolling in the grass, and drinking from the coolness of the pond, when she felt it; A change in the pressure, perhaps? A cold shiver running down her spine? A sense of chilly foreboding, and it felt dangerous. To Xayna, however, the word danger is no different than adventure. As the other Equids ran for safety amongst sheltered rock outcroppings and the few trees available, she raced and continued to play. She heard a loud crack, a sound that shook the very mountains. Finally felling the slightest bit worried, she thought of whether being out in the open was the best idea after all.
The wind whispered and chanted as the weather grew steadily darker;
Run, little one,
Hide, little one,
We will always find you;
Run, little one,
Hide, little one,
Scream until your face is blue;
If you run away,
We will make play
To us your world is nothing new;
Run, hide
Hide, run,
We find this chasing great fun;
Run, little one,
Hide, little one,
Run, hide...
At this Xayna couldn't help but flee, as the rain started pelting down, and a conical cloud descended. The tornado started to shed the land, uprooting trees and tearing away great chunks of earth.As fast as she ran, Xayna was nothing compared to this monstrous wind-beast. As it caught her, the world went black.
Xayna awoke to find blue, cloudless skies. She stood up and remembered what had happened. Why was she still alive? Why hadn't the beast of wind and cloud torn her as is had the earth around? Perhaps it didn't mean to harm me?

Story:
I turned my face up towards the the darkening sky. The windspeed was starting to pick up and all of my senses were out of control. The smell of the storm was growing strong and I could feel the pressure weighing itself within each of my eyes. My ears could pick up the slightest soundwaves, echoing from high above the clouds. The changing temperature was toturing the air into the rolling sounds of thunder. "Owww!" My attention flickered away from the storm and towards my brother. He had given me a nip to remind me of the task ahead. My herd needed to find shelter before the monster in the sky had caught up with us. Most of the older members had already passed us and were far in the lead. Due to my deep fascination with the shifting atmosphere, my brother and I were now lagging behind. He was competitive so it got on his nerves when he had to walk at a slower pace so that he could keep track of me. "Sorry," I said, as I returned my gaze back to the michief going on above. I could feel his irratation without even seeing him. A small area of the cumulonimbus clouds was starting to gape open, and the surrouding clouds were appraoching the ground. It was the beginnings of a tornado. My herd picked up their pace and most of them were now at a gallop or fast canter. I, on the other hand, was even further behind, and my dear brother had left me. I guess his patience ran out.
Rain sprinkled.......and then poured...... and then stung my flesh. At his point I wasn't sure how far back from everyone I had fallen. I couldn't see anything so I decided to stop and feel my way around until I found a safer place than being out in the open. I veered off the pathway to my left and I kept walking. I stumbled numerous times but managed to regain my footing. I eventually came to a small cavern that was just big enough to provide a shelter for myself. I stepped inside and shook away as much water as I could. I was worried about my family but realized that I could never find them in a storm like this one, so I did what would benefit me the best in the current situation. I drifted off to sleep in the corner of my safehouse and dreamt of what could happen when I wake.

Equid's Name: Ventia (Vent is Wind in French, but I added the -ia to make it more feminine)
Height: 14 hh
Gender:Mare
Age: 6 years old
Story: Five years earlier, a baby Ventia was playing in the meadow, dashing under her mothers hooves, and marveling at the worlds grand size. At one second, it was bright and sunny, and the next there were dark grey coulds, rain, wind, hail, and a funnel cloud forming. Her herd panicked and took off, Ventia next to her mother. She got a hoof caught in a hole andtripped, sprawling on the ground. She suddenly went from the middle of the herd, to the very back. Then, it hit. The tornado tore at the ground behind Ventia, only fifty meters away. She panicked and tried to get up, but she had sprained her fetlock. She did, however, manage to make it up. She ran, on only three legs after herd herd. Her mother and father had stopped, waiting for her. They took cover in a nearby cave, and waited. When the tornado had passed, Ventia and her family went outside to see. Ventia was surprised to see the herd, and a double rainbow caused by the sun reflecting through the mist in the sky. It was beautiful, for something so soon after a disaster.

I positively LOVE the WME. She soooo beautiful.

Story: "As the humans say tornado, I call it black death." I watched in horror as the sky went from sunny and peaceful, to dark and windy. I could since something horrible about to happen, but I was in an open field and there was no protection. All I could to was watch and listen.. The winds began to pick up and start to pour the rain. Soon came hail. I was trying to keep my eyes open as much as I could, but with the rain blurring my sight and the constant pounding of hail hitting my every move. I laid down and covered my face as much as I could with my tail, Praying and hoping this storm would stop. What seemed like hours,or seemed like an eternity before the rain and hail suddenly quit? I looked up, it still was dark... The rain stopped why isn't it clearing up as usual? I looked around something is not right, it's to quite. "I thought to myself". All of a sudden that horrible feeling you get in the pit of your stomach, hit me. A huge circular motion in the clouds started to form, slowly descending onto the ground. The sound of a million roaring trains right there in front of me. It was black and ripping anything in it's path to shred and sometimes slinging it around. My heart raced, my gut and brain told me to run but my legs turned to jelly. Frozen in place, seeing death stare you in the face. I don't know what hit me but I turned and ran, ran as fast as I could. Hearing the roaring and terrible noise from behind, I looked frantically around for shelter, anywhere away from the windy devil. Something caught my eye as I looked around. THE MOUNTAINS!! I seen the mountains from a far, knowing the mountains was "home" I turned and ran for it. I could since the "black death" speeding behind me. Just a few more steps, "I thought to myself". Closer and closer the mountain came to view, few more steps..... My could feel the ground leave as my whole body fell, in what seemed a slow manner. Feeling shoots of pain through my body as I hit the ground. Looking up through the pot whole I fell in, I thought.. Only a few seconds before it was with me. I was right, the loud roar was soon here and was louder than what it was last time. "My time is up", I said closing my eyes.. Everything went blank only hearing the roar of the "black death", but there was just a small bit of hope still inside me... hope was all I needed. The feeling of my body being lifted, as I was over top of me broke my thoughts. Trying to bite or grab anything around me to keep my slowly lifting body from being sucked up. "Oh, god please help", only escaped my lips. Then I was on the bottom again. H-how.. how... I thought. Listening to any noise I could manage, the loud roaring was gone. With all my might and strength left I slowly pulled my way out. dragging the rest of my body out of the pot hole, I looked around first to the once safe mountain I called "home" now was cover with bits of boulders and trunks to trees. Noticing the one place I knew best, was now a barren wasteland I never new. Slowly getting up on my feet, I said "It's not the last I will ever see Black Death". Then walked off to hopefully find my way back home.
