Louder than thunder

The sky above was dark and foreboding as Askan padded along the cobbled stone, his gaze set skywards as a flash of lightning streaked across the horizon. He squinted as he waited, counting the seconds under his breath till a crash of thunder ripped through the air and sent instinctual shiver down his spine. He breathed deep and taste of ozone settled on his tongue as he turned his attention back to his surroundings. The storm was close, perhaps within a few miles, but there wasn't a need to scramble for shelter quite yet. If at all.
Though he couldn't quite put his paw on it there was something different about Auster, something subtle and lingering that made it just feel off. Like the rules of Boreas didn't apply here. Not knowing was really starting to get on Askan's nerves, he felt as though the land was mocking him for his ignorance. On more than one occasion he'd been tempted to turn around and stomp back across the Bifrost, there was nothing for him here so what was the point in staying? This land was as empty as heaven, he hadn't even come across a single soul since he'd arrived in these parts and he was beginning to wonder if he'd somehow missed the memo.
But there he was, glaring at some old stones as if they held all the answers. Maybe for all he knew they did.
