Why lightning is attracted to the lightning rod

Description

So this is uploaded with my phone, which let me tell you is tricky! My computer is out of commission right now(it has some virus that is being a pain) so I have been using a different computer but that one doesn't have internet :/ go figure...
anyway, so everything was working great.. and those of you know watch me know I leave the heads till last right... yeah so my stand in computer gliched near the end of my drawing(when I had some of the legs and head and neck left, leaving me with no pressure sensitivity and that thing where the pen only feels like drawing straight lines. Does that happen to anyone? and does anyone know how to fix it? Anywho... so the face/leg/neck blending is sorta... eh and I tried to use the smudgey thing(which I hate using lol) for any remaining body parts... but that's why it looks rather poory blended. Maybe once I get my computer back I can fix it XD
Now for the story :D




Lightning struck.
The sky lights up with a yellowish hue making it seem like day.
Cleopatra had finally found a place to stay for the night in Greece after her own fall.
Still pondering the whole event over she chewed some grass-lost deep in thought.
Rohan, also looking for a place to stay while he was in Greece, found a nice looking temple and decided to stop for the night.
As he approached the temple he noticed some other horses messing around in the knee-high grass. He began to meander towards them...
All of the sudden a pull that came from his insides distracted him and turned his path to a new target... a lone mare in the middle of the field.
He wasn't completely sure what he was doing but as he walked across the field his adreniline picked up and sky rocketed.
The lightning intensifies.
Into a gallop this stallion fell, leaps and bucks added in for an unknown flourish.
"What is wrong with me?!" Rohan thought inwardly. As he reached the mare he realized she was a Cavitto as well! He bounded around her with great lunging leaps...
but she didn't pay any attention. What the Gods is wrong with this horse!! He nudged, shocked, nipped, and jumped all around trying to get her attention.

"Why was I attracted here..."
The electricity filled the air, the storm moved closer... of course Rohan couldn't care less, but why didn't this mare? One lightning bolt and she was fried!
The lightning was on top of them now, it struck all around their bodies barely missing them. Still the mare did not move.
Then in one blinding flash the deed was done. The sky, blinding with the light, shoots a bolt right down to the target. The aftershock knocks Rohan off his legs-stunning him
for a second.
As he opens his eyes he looks to see what is left of the mare who should be a pile of ashes...
All of her was there! She was alive! All around her sat little metal rods in the grass, glowing with the recent heat.
It was a *head-hoof* moment for the elder Cavitto.
No wonder!!! Metal attracts lightning and lightning can't bother the metal! This mare is a metal Cavitto! She is a lightning rod!




Explanation:

The lightning rod- Cleo- attracts Rohan to her side without a thought because of her powers properties. As she is deep in thought she totally ignores the stallion as the storm moves closer. A lightning strike would kill any mare that Rohan would know, but this one is different, she doesn't die... The metal rods around Cleo are lightning rods that grounded the lightning around her- hence she comes out unharmed :) Lightning and metal really are meant to be friends :D

the references are from catalogs, but I am sure they are somewhere on google as well, it's just that I am on my phone so doing the searching for the links is near to impossible... lol
oh and I am personally proud of the background! you can see the little temple and horses in the background :D and the grass :P haha
