'That girl is so hot.' Leo thought. As he showed Fireshard around the ship, he thought about what he felt when he touched Fireshard. A tingle. An unexplainable tingle.

"This is the kitchen, obviously. And this," He grinned. "Guess what this room is for." It was the control room, of course, but it didn't look like it.

"I have no idea. " She said. "Is that a Wii controller?"

"Yeah. Hey, Festus. I have someone to introduce you to!" There was a whirring sound.

"So you're Festus?" Fireshard answered the whirring. Leo's jaw dropped in amazement. "I'm Fireshard."

"You can understand him?" Leo was in awe. What else could this girl do?

"Well, duh!" She put her hands on her hips. "I'm here to help you, to protect you, so I have to be able to do lots of things, including Morse Code, and cooking."

"You," Leo pointed at her. "You are amazing." Fireshard blushed.

"It's my duty as a fire elemental to teach and protect a fire user."

"Protect me from what? I can take care of myself." He looked out the porthole window. "And what's a fire elemental?'

"To put it simply, a soul that is reborn into an element, like fire or water." She got a distant look in her eyes. "Only few are able to become elementals. I was barely able to. And unlike with souls that choose to move on from the Elysian Fields, we elementals don't forget our past lives." Leo put a hand on her shoulder.

"Were you a demigod?" Leo asked.

"Yes." She sniffed. "I... I don't really want to talk about it though..."

"That's OK." Leo gave Fireshard a hug, because it looked like she needed one.

"Thank you." She whispered.
