While you last inside the realm of this time, it's important to remember that no star or moon owns the nature of this creature. It's adaptable and wiry but unwieldy at the same time. There is mass unleashed in the form of desert heat that has already been tempered from the month before, and the sands are probably all that lasted through such a torment.
By chance if you remain, this month will be like a repeat, but more subtle, and echoes a promise of some finality to the fires of cosmic waves. This month is female, and its nature is logical. It doesn't sway, and smashes down the flighty foe.
It will harbor mystery but the storms won't be so hidden, even if the weather seems right on schedule. Like canyons this month will wind on for leagues, and like valleys, it will choose who crosses its breadth. Should you make the journey, it will only reward the most skilled. It's unlikely that it will carry on with small paths, it will seek the longest routes.
Flying in August is a gamble, treading it is even more treacherous. You have to glide. Then leap back and forth in its hold. It's a thunder you'll hear in the distance but the lightning will strike the unprepared. If you hear thunder in any given August, it will last on throughout its duration and into next year. It was always designed to be an everlasting month if you survived.

The Blasted Month of July
The previous month makes no dazzling entrance and will shy away from too much exposure, but July will blast in, and it will trumpet and roar. The heat of its fire alone will scorch everyone in a blazing beam that demands your full attention. Despite this it will serve as a furnace regardless of obtaining proper greetings. Lava will power this furnace, too.
When it steps up and steps all over, and grinds into the concrete and stamps the pavement with choking oppression, you will know that July is in fact trying to kill you. It fancies itself as a cleansing fire but it's too full of ash and soot to do anything but be nasty. And it will never allow a cool breeze without first causing a multitude of obstacles for it.
This is the time to be in the water. To shield yourself in a cocoon of moss and rock formations that blend with the terrain, if only to escape any wrath of July's whims. It will bring stark skies and long days that won't relent. It would sting you if it could morph into a giant bee. So it improvises sometimes and just conjures up a swarm of bees instead.
July will laugh at you and has no mercy. It gives its gifts as a polar opposite of the other side of the season, on the other side of the year. In otherwords, its gifts aren't welcome so much as they are planned for, prepared for, and painstakingly mapped out and awaited for. In short, it'll be long if you aren't on your toes when it arrives.
