Aerin has turned out to be a late bloomer; she was smart, and fast, but
she didn't show much of the will that most cat's her age had. She was... 
comfortable. It was only after Merc and Anansi were well into their tests
that Aerin woke up. 

And boy, did she ever wake up. 

The Korung was a piece of cake for her; she stood still and square as a 
statue for the judge, and remained a statue even as the vet ran his 
x-ray scans. And before either, she had trotted like a queen before the 
judges, showing off her gaits like the proud cat she was. 

The Speed Test was almost just as easy; Aerin took her riding halter and
her saddle without any fuss during training, and responded to the slightest
cue she was given. So when the test came, she ran like a dream on nitro.

The odd thing... both of those tests had been on nice days; pleasant, 
comfortable....

It would only make sense that the day of the Free Will happened to be one
straight from the land down under. 

Rain that found it's way into the most watertight clothing, wind that whipped
said rain into pellets that beat against the skin and hide like paintballs straight
out of a paintball gun, lightning that flashed so brilliant it nearly blinded anything
with eyes to see, and following thunder that dropped anyone with ears to their
knees. Midday it was, but it was almost as black as night from the thickness
of the roiling clouds above.

Thick shedu fur became flattened and slick, and there was nothing to hold on to
but the wind, hope, and a prayer up on the great cat's back. 

But still, when the signal was given to go, they ran. 

And did they ever run. 

Sierra couldn't see a thing past the rain on her helmet's visor, but she knew
the course... she had memorized it. And Aerin knew where to place her feet 
and how to run smoothly enough to help her rider stay on. 

They were on in the dark, in the rain, in the storm. One being, not two. 

And as their souls merged, the storm.... was no longer a cruel, evil, horrid
thing, dampening spirits and bringing fear. It was.... the thing that was made
up of everything that made one feel ALIVE.
