Chapter 7
With the call of "Fire" heard and the smoke alarms and water activated, the nations found themselves rushing out of the room to then enjoy talking to the front desk about what happened in the room they were using. That is, all of them except Japan who was waiting for the confusion to diminish and for his chance to find the creature which came from his egg.
Japan knew that the egg had always been hot, but never hot enough to cause a fire. So it seemed obvious to him that the egg had finally hatched and the creature had something to do with fire. As luck would have it, he was soon the only one near the room, allowing him to reenter and look at the table where he threw the egg.
At the spot sat a little girl with long, black hair which was reddish-orange at the tips, large ears, ash-white skin, and large amber eyes. As Japan slowly walked up to the child surrounded by burnt paper and smoldering wood, the girl simply looked up and smiled timidly at him. After a moment for the two to take each other's image in, Japan asked, "Are you alright, little one?"
In response, the child gave a slight cough then looked over herself to see that she was naked. Upon realizing this, a bit of blush came to her white cheeks followed by a bit of flames; which were quickly put out by the still running sprinklers. Seeing the girl's concern, Japan quickly took out a handkerchief and used it to make a wrap dress for her. The girl looked at the clothing confused, only to smile as Japan patted her head slightly and said, "It's not the best but it will work until I can make you better clothes. Now, what should I name you?"
Before Japan could ponder the question more, America and several of the others ran back into the room. The others had quickly realized that he was gone and feeling worried for their friend wanted to check on him. Once they saw that he was alright, they mostly gave out a sigh of relief. The relief then quickly passed, however, when the girl became scared of the others and accidently burnt the hand Japan was still patting her with.
"Dude, are you alright?!" America asked worriedly as he watched Japan quickly take the hand away and wave it as if he just touched a hot pan.
"Yes, but please lower your voice and stay back everyone. You're frightening the child," Japan requested only to feel dread as he saw the child look as if about to go into tears with worry.
"Ah! She's so cute, aru!" China explained almost forgetting the request in favor of seeing the new sprite; only for the others to hold him in place as Japan quickly returned to calming the child.
"Fire, huh…looks like Japan is going to hope that she gets control over of her powers quickly," Taiwan commented towards some of the others.
"Ya, I guess we can't all be blessed with perfect-acting sprites like ours, right Canada?" Seychelles commented back, only to then look over to Canada. There was a bit of truth to it, causing Canada to nod his head. After all, from the little bit they had seen of the other sprites, Ariel and Angelica seemed to be the most laid-back of the eight.
"Are you sure you'll be able to handle her until she learns to control herself, aru? After all, it would be bad if she accidently set a fire in one of your cities," China commented as he got freed from the others' grips and slowly walked towards the two in question.
"Not much else can be done. Besides, I'm certain that once she calms down and gets a better grip on being outside her egg things will be much better," Japan said towards the others confidently. He then turned back to the sprite and continued, "Isn't that correct...hmm."
"What's wrong now?" Finland asked.
"Nothing, still just thinking of a name. Ah, I know! From now on I'll call you Ama." Japan answered with a smile.
"Ama?" America asked confused. All of the other nations had named the sprites after something which reminded them of their element and talents. But America had no idea where the name Ama fitted with fire.
"Yes. Her attitude reminds me of a story of the sun goddess Amaterasu. And if you look at her abilities it is rather similar to the goddess. But that would be too long a name for her, so it'll be shortened to Ama," Japan explained, only to receive a complete understanding from the others.
"That's a cool name, I wish I thought of something like that for mine," New Zealand commented.
Soon after this, the fire chief entered the room to make sure everything was alright, followed by the hotel owner entering what was the newly redone conference room and politely telling the nations that they were not wanted in the any of the building's rooms ever again. With this the nations left with the meeting called to a close, everyone realizing that besides having the last egg hatch none of the issues were really brought up.
shorter than usual but at least it's something
