The Duel

Collective Inspired...


Droplets of precipitation dance outside the window.

Tapping gently, they suggestively request one to take a look outside.

The skies outside are dark and brooding. It appears that something sinister is looming...

Full attention has now been established.

Perhaps somebody in the Heavens is feuding...

With great verve and gusto Wind has announced his arrival! with flamboyant acrobatic swirls and somersaults coupled with an array of graceful flips.

Not to be outdone, Precipitation decides to crank up his magnitude...

Bigger splashes, puddles galore, droplets that shimmer and shine - merging an exhibition of colours that artfully decorate the floor.

They intertwine like a vicious tango. The electricity between the two elements fight it out for their share of the limelight.

Light... Lightening strikes...without a prior invite - she has been watching from up above, and wanted to show Wind and Precipitation her exquisite might.

To which she does; She is dangerously beautiful, and demands respect.

They pause for a moment to marvel at her velocity.

Then continue to duel.

This tremendous contest carries out before a backdrop of an undiluted sombre opaque night, which only adds to fuel this most deliciously wicked battle.

Eventually; they grow tired, they could continue, but decide to call a truce. There is no need for more.

A somewhat alliance has been reached - which could be broken at any moment when the climate decides to flex its muscles.

But for tonight, it ends a draw.
