One never went without the other. Aqua felt that, one day, all who he knew now would be gone from him. But the happiness she received from knowing them was many times that and she would meet others as well. And, perhaps, so would they. And perhaps, one day, he, too, would leave, as Bubbles had. But not today. Today, she remained, for she had much to learn and to do and to be.<br/><br/>Agi's idea was a good one, and Aqua was all too eager to accept it. With one stipulation, however, that it not only be for the humans. Agi seemed to spend a lot of time with these new arrivals, and Aqua loved them, too, so quick and full of knowledge and curiosity, they were. But she cared deeply for all who were on the island, animals, mortals, spirits. All who wished for peace should be welcome in this new place, to share their time within it. For this, he would offer the pure waters he seemed to have gained increased control over.<br/><br/>As for a view to the future, Aqua would continue learning and teaching. To teach the mortals how to live and how to be. To teach the newly born happy spirits what it was to be a spirit and on the nature of happiness. Or, for that matter, any spirit or animal who cared to listen to her. Each time he could, too, he would come greet the Reaper when came to time for her to come.<br/><br/>As for the Spirit of Blossoms, Aqua left her to make her own choices. He would come to her grove often, of course, but wouldn't coax her in or out. She was much older than Aqua and knew so many more things. She was perfectly able to make her own decisions. Though, of course, Aqua would always be interested by her reasons and by anything else she might have to say.
