Autumn sat quietly in a pile of orange and red leaves. Suddenly she felt a drop of rain hit her and then another until a huge shower started to fall on her. She tried sending the cloud away but for some weird reason was unable to do so.

Yune sat as the rain poured down about her. "Why?" was her only question. She had no quarrel with Winter. Winters encrouching power over March and November did not affect her at all. With a wave of her hand the roses twisted themselves into a water proof canopy as she stared out into the rain.

Spring gazed at the darkened sky as rain fell from the heavens, soaking her. Try as she might, she could not push the storm away from her domain alone. Odd. she thought. The powers of the spirits have always been equal. Something is amiss. Moving under the shelter of one of her trees, she slowly sat down. A patch of flowers sprung up at her feet, activated by her presence, yet even that did not cheer her. Winter. Why this torment? she thought bitterly, her emerald eyes darkening in concern as the storm intensified.

August smiled at the oncoming storm. No doubt it was full of snow. and no doubt that it would come down as rain. Winter just didn't seem to understand that it couldn't snow in Summerland. Still, the drops of rain were frigid. She sent heat into the cloud warming the water inside. The rain that came down now was a warm, steady, summer rain. The wetness felt good on her skin, even if she did prefer the heat of the sun. That would do until she could find Summer.
---------------------------------------
Rain? September suddered. This was unnatural. The storm cloud that brewed overhead promised to be nasty. Torrents of rain and snow came pouring down, mixining into a freezing slush. September quickly grabbed the life from all the plants around her. Not all the life...that would kill everything. She took just enough to put them into a deep hibernation, a hibernation that would save them from the biting cold of this snow that wasn't supposed to appear. Summer and Spring, spring especially, thought her power to take the life of living things was cruel, but in reality it was the opposite. Just like the living things that walked the earth, plants had to sleep. They did that during the winter, when the climate was unbearable. Is was Autemn's job to make sure they fell asleep. The rejuvination they recieved from that sleep made them all the stronger during spring and summer.

There was nother September could do to ward off the storm. She fled, searching for Autumn.

Yune felt the rain become warm drops of the sky and smiled. It must be one of her sisters doing. Fixing hermask in place she left her bower and looked for one of her sisters. Soon she espied August and came and sat next to her. "Do you know where Summer is? I can't seem to push this one out of the way, (she controls the summer winds) Winter herself must have sent it."

February looked up from where she sat reading a book when she heard December enter. "By 'them' I assume you mean the other seasons," she stated calmly, knowing for a fact that that was what she meant. She closed the book with deliberate slowness, as it was not her nature to jump to complete orders. Then she stood nonchalantly, her flowing white dress pooled around her ankles. "We might as well be going then," she suggested icily with a raised eyebrow. "January!"

January, although she was technically supposed to be in command over February, rarely ever asserted the privelage. She heard December enter but did not look up. She grinned deviously as she touched her pale fingertips to the petals of a small pink rosebud and watched the flower freeze. She gave a small start when she heard February's sharp, icy call, then turned her heated glare on the other spirit. "I heard you," she growled through gritted teeth. Then she looked to Decmeber and her lips curled up into another devilish smile. "And it will be my pleasure."

December gave another smirked and turned to walk out. Already plans of what she would do swam in her head. "Lets so then." she said, her voice sweet a surgary with a cold undertone.

Winter watched December, January, and February leave, then renewed her 'attack' on the other seasons.


Meanwhile, April sat outside, watching another flower pop out of the ground. A drop of sleet hit her nose, and she looked up at the huge cloud that hovered overhead. More rain and sleet fell, and soon the little flower was lying in a heap on the ground.

October looked at the air curiously as it began to rain. That's odd, he thought as he watched the rain intensify. Because of the nature of his abilities, October had little control over the weather. All he could do is scare people and decay things. He was often disliked because he had to pave the way for winter by touching all of the plants, decaying them.

March stared up at the dark clouds, drops of half-frozen rain landing on her face. It wasn't the rain itself that worried her, but rather the coldness of it. March warmed the air around the clouds, but was unable to warm the rain itself.
She shook her head and turned her gaze away from the clouds. "April!" Seeing the woman, March walked over to her. "Why do you think this is happening?" she said.


November walked through the rain, ignoring it. He was used to the cold. It did bother him, however, that Winter would be able to send this storm. From his vantage point at the top of a hill, he could see the clouds were spread darkly over the whole land, including Summer and Springs' realms.

April shook her head. "I don't know. It seems strange that the rain is so cold, though. It rains all the time, but never like this."

December smirked as she saw the rain. "That will make things alot easier." Visions of frozen plants made her glow with an icy warmth.

"No. It hasn't." Spring replied to April as she approached the two women. "Winter has grown more powerful." she stated quietly. "We must be on guard. This rain bodes an immanent attack."

October began to run towards Autumn. Though he disliked meeting her since she always had bad news for him, he had to warn her about this. It's probably Winter's doing but he wasn't sure.
