Thank you, Jared!!
Dalton Sayre
The quarling siblings are in a snit. Brother Thunder smites his drum, as he heaves gusty sighs. In equal Ire, Sister lightning lashes out and sheds torrential tears upon the land. Chaotic though these tantrums be, they leave behind renewal.
Arla M. Ruggles replied
Beautifully spoken, Dalton. Thank you!
