The hills rolled of the skies, bouncing with clumps of marsh and reeds. The crickets hissed through gritted teeth, turning their backs on the upcoming wind. Butterflies glided effortlessly across the air until they were struck down by beads of rain. The rain started slow; shimmering on leaves and blades of grass.
As the storm progressed, the rain sliced like a knife through the seething wind cutting down the straggling clumps of grass, beating them to a wet pulp. Lightening graced the sky with a blinding white light, cutting the clouds in half with their force.
One bolt of lightening smashed into a tall oak and it moaned, groaned and screamed las it fell, landing in a pile of nettles. It's leaves wilted and shattered at the sudden catastrophe, the bark peeled of the tree leaving it bare. The rain splattered on it's lifeless trunk.

Spring's touch coaxed out the animals so they could frolic in their new home.
