The uneven slope of the beach with the added strength of the wind made Scald's trek over to the log difficult. Appearing as if he might be slightly drunk, his quills lifted from his spine instinctually hoping that it would help break the wind. The rain continued to pelt him and his brother, fat droplets dampening their coats until they were soaked. Not that it would be that big of a deal, right? Just a little bit of rain? Okay, maybe a lot of rain. Pushing through the gales and growing turbulence of the storm, Scald paid no mind to the funnel that began to grow over the water. Instead, his interest lay with the silliness of his brother ramming his tusks into the giant log. "No way you'll beat me!" Scald called out, his brow furrowing with determination as he watched his brother clamber onto the log. Following suit, his claws digging into the soggy bark, Scald made his way up. Getting his footing straight, the colorful boy dipped around Rexx and made a beeline for the tip of the log. Barely able to see now as the wind turned into full-on gales and sand began to whip around them. Battering their bodies was the hail that started to fall from the sky. Before he could even reach the tip of the log, he could hear the deafening scream of an oncoming hurricane. Freezing in his tracks, nearly toppling from the log, he turned to look at the monstrosity lying over the ocean. "Rexx, REXX!" The boy squealed as he attempted to lift a paw toward the billowing swirl of water and wind. "I th-think we gotta hide!" His voice rose another octave as his bi-colored eyes widened in fear. No wonder their parents had said not to leave the den. Forcing his chin to look over his shoulder, Scald began to realize there was no way they could make it back to the safety of the den in time. With how quickly the natural disaster was coming their way, they stood no chance. The log they stood on was their only hope. "C'mon, down here!" He screeched over the howling wind as best as he could as he nodded toward the side of the log that was facing away from the water. Sliding down the slippery side, Scald felt slightly better once his paws were on solid ground. Starting to tuck himself as far under the log as he could manage, he waited for his brother to follow.
