The thunder startled Ares, who roused herself from a nearby tree to get out into the open and stand in the fading sunlight as dark clouds flowed overhead. The breeze made her gasp. "Is.. is it..." She couldn't finish her sentence as rain crashed down. Her eyes were wide, she was speechless. She looked over to Elsweyr, a stupid smile on her face.
She trotted over, a smile on her face growing stupider, wider, as she sat down next to her mother. She couldn't see the tears but knew they were due, though she had none to give the air. Ares flexed a wing, grinning now, head tilted up. Rain.
"I never imagined I would be ecstatic over rain, but..." And she laughed, folding her wing in and simply letting herself get drenched.
