I am.

I am everything, and I am nothing.

I am the tickling feeling you get in the fur on the back of your neck as you stand waiting for a lover under a tree.

I am what rattles the shutters and makes foals hide under their covers in the night.

I am a storm in the San Palomino Desert, and the howling in the ruins of the Castle of the Two Sisters.

I am the chill that you feel on a mountain top or in a cave by the sea.

I am a spinning tornado that crushes towns, and a warm, gentle breeze that embraces you.

I am everywhere at once.

I am both cold and harsh, and warm and caring.

I am the wind, and this is the story of the pony whose life I changed, and how he changed mine.
