it's about learning to dance in the rain.

It started out as such a nice day. The sun was shining and there was just enough of a gentle breeze coming off of the ocean to keep it from becoming unbearably hot. Plenty of people had taken to the beach to enjoy the nice weather. Families enjoying and playing in the water. Couples walking up and down the beach hand in hand with the cool ocean water lapping at their feet. Some people doing little more than sitting down and enjoying the sun.

Unfortunately, like most things, it isn't meant to last. The giant bird flying overhead will see to that. The one with rain in his feathers and lightning in his beak. He flies out over the ocean just enough to keep from dropping the thunderstorm directly onto the unsuspecting humans, but not nearly far enough that they'll get to walk away from the beach completely unscathed. They'll get the wind and the rain but not immediately have the experience the full force of the storm.

The rain is only just starting when Rai lands on an out of the way part of the beach and shrugs out of his feathers. He walks along the beach, watching as mothers and fathers try to coax their children out of the water before it starts to rain too much. Sorry to all of the humans whose days he's ruined. There'll be plenty more nice days for them to enjoy in the future.
