Long before the Savannah experienced clear skies, Granny Storm was always present.

She had a blue necklace that controlled the rain.
She had a gold bracelet that controlled thunder and lightning.
She had a walking stick that controlled the wind.

The Hyena hated Granny Storm sticking around so he stole her walking stick.

She cursed the laughing beast and shoot lightning that him.

The Hyena dodged every strike and left the Savannah.

Granny Storms followed the Hyena, leading her out the Savannah, and searched every corner to find her prized stick since.

That was why storm-clouds move so slow.

    Can see the Hyena slinking away ...... Suddenly getting a sense of the vast sky from this. I like it.
