It is her will, her desire. She is going to a place where she can be happy, and Agi tries to be happy for her.<br/><br/>The fire-lion continues to spend some of his time with his animal kin, some of his time with Blossoms, some of his time with the humans; and still finds a few moments here and there to work on improving himself. Though Agi may once have been a god, he refuses to accept the mantle--insisting, always, upon the usage of his name.<br/><br/>When The Reaper comes, and Agi is in the vicinity to bear witness, he accompanies The Reaper for as long as he can, idly inquiring upon matters of life and death, sickness and health. Through these talks, he grows in understanding, and begins to plan; to study. He focuses on more esoteric meanings and powers associated with fire.<br/><hr/>Harmony remains a goal for Agi, and to that end, he tries his best to listen, to understand, and to organize things--among spirits, animals, and humans. Part of his harmony with other spirits comes when, after hearing a story from a human about a 'sauna', which reputedly had health benefits. Understanding that this requires a harmony between fire and water, he, of course, would proposition Aqua into assisting with the construction of a new location in the village; The Catharsis Steamhouse.<br/><br/>By combining purifying water with soothing flame, the idea Agi presents is a bath house that utilizes magic to help boost the health of those who routinely utilize it. Such a thing will certainly improve the health and hygiene of the residents who utilize it; and Agi's underlying plan is to make it into something of a show of their teamwork, to teach the humans what happens when two disparate elements come together in harmony, and act with a unified purpose; his hope to inspire the spirit of cooperation, and thus pushing forward his agenda of Harmony.<span class="bbc_u">Of course, whether this succeeds or not is up to Aqua. Agi can not force such cooperation and would not dare to.</span><br/><hr/>His time among the humans eventually leads to his finally developing the ability to distinguish them apart from each other. One fateful night, at the Geyser he made, he has a chance encounter with Alexandra. They spend much time talking, of this and that; and eventually, Agi asks about mortal magicians. He offers to teach her, and though it will take quite some time, he decides to gift a handful of voluntary humans with his arcane insights; gently guides them in their studies.<br/><br/>Though he does not wish for the title of god, it eventually forms a quasi-religious feel to it, as Agi blends in his Zen-like philosophy. He speaks of both taming and nurturing one's Inner Flame. He speaks of the warmth of fire, the comfort it brings, and the importance of its ability to transmute and preserve. He speaks of lighting many candles from one, of how a good fire can warm many people; how fire should not be hoarded, and it should only be wielded with pure intent. He warns of the destructive potential of fire, and how this gift he is giving them should never be misused; destruction is forbidden, it becomes a taboo. To use fire to destroy--it becomes something akin to a sin.<br/><br/>In time, this small handful of humans will be named the<strong>Hearth Tenders.</strong>The Hearth is a sacred space, the spiritual center of every home. It is a place of comfort and safety; harmony and healing. And the Hearth Tenders have this semi-sacred duty to tend to it. By titling them so, he provides them with a daily reminder of who they are, and what their powers are intended for.<br/><hr/>All in all, Agi's goals will see him constantly working to push forward his agenda of Harmony and Cooperation. For those who look to him for guidance, he encourages both kindness and humility. For those who scorn him, he simply accepts it. He does not allow his Inner Flame to be contaminated with rage, needing to be a living example of his morals and philosophy.<br/><br/>He wants to see the humans be able to live in harmony with the animals, the spirits, even the plants and trees; and especially among each other. He improves upon his own patience and empathy. In keeping in line with this, should any other spirit have an idea that requires some of his fire magic to pull off, so long as it is not destructive, Agi will surely lend a hand.
