The spirit inquires, believing that there is, yes, a difference--between the happiness of eating fruit and the happiness of soaking in hotsprings, or the happiness of sunbathing, for instance. But the Wise Old Elephant has so many silly ideas, and mostly, this spirit feels like cuddling into them; warmth coming off of the spirit, and seeping into the venerable creature; it's as if, through its connection to fire, it has gained some of the soothing heat of the prismatic springs.<br/><br/>But unable to answer such complexities immediately, it soon retires to its favored locale, where it can lounge about, soak up more heat, eat fruit, and be happy.<br/><br/>Thoughts drifting, mind, simple as it is, reaching out, and integrating itself into the primordial force of fire; an idea forms. The spirit soars up high into the air, as if trying to ascend to the sun..! Only to dive back downwards, and into one of the springs. Down through the warm waters it travels, deeper, deeper, and deeper still. As it travels, a word, a sound, forms in it's minds eye; and his identity changes.<br/><br/>Clinging tightly onto his power, he reaches the rocky bottom of this one-of-many pools, and smashes into the rock; sinks into it. He is not aligned with the earth, but that's okay, because he is injecting his fire into the earth. Gradually, the rocks turn hotter and hotter; more and more heat pumped into it until it becomes magma.<br/><br/>For three weeks, the spirit drifts; becomes a conduit and changes the locale. And then, one day, he recognizes that his work is done, and that it is time...<br/><hr/>The Wise Old Elephant and their grandchildren are invited back to the Springs. When the spirit speaks, his vocabulary is notably expanded. "Is good, yes? Sit, sit, enjoy warm-cozy." The fire spirit urges the elder to take comfort. His attention then drifts up towards the sun, marking its trail through the sky... soon, soon.<br/><br/>"Is hungry? Is start soon." The spirit will encourage the baby elephants to eat of the fruits, while he is more than happy to bring them back to the Wise Old Elephant. Fire may be destructive, yes; but this flame spirit embodies warmth and comfort.<br/><br/>A little more time passes, and then, knowing it intuitively, the spirit once more gathers the elephants together so they can watch what is about to happen. "Am Agi!" It pronounces dramatically. "And geyser is about to show." He does a little dance, and as the sun reaches the exact midpoint in its journey through the sky, the water beneath them reaches a frenzied boil.<br/><br/>He's gathered the babies away from the splash zone, so they can appreciate the sight to come without being in danger. Similarly, he would not have allowed the old elephant to bathe in the geyser pool.<br/><br/>...And just when it feels like nothing might happen..! A jet of water spurts out from the center of the spring, and goes dozens of feet up into the air. The water spreads out, sprinkling and misting through the air, dropping back down into the pool. As the water catches the light of the sun, however, a savvy elephant would be able to see short-lived rainbows forming.
