(I might have to draw Fintan, but so far this is the closest I can find to anyone drawing something that looks like him)

Marella looked unsure and Bronte sighed "It's fine." She swallowed as she straightened her back her flames flickering to orange. She launched the Everblaze at the bottom of a slanted tower, as the ball of bright flames connected the base of the tower exploded shaking the ground sending crystal shards everywhere.

The Everblaze roared as it grew high the crystal tower melting into a pile of purple goo, Bronte reached inside his shirt and pulled out a container and the heat from the Everblaze seemed to be melting holes in my orange Camp Halfblood T-shirt.

"You said you're fireproof," Bronte said looking at Leo "now run in there and grab us some molten crystal." Leo whirled around as he laughed "I'm fireproof! Not molten proof! That shit is hot all the way over here!" Bronte rolled his eyes and tossed the container into the fire, it swirled sucking up the crystal and some of the Everblaze. The container shot back to Bronte's hand and he caught it wincing as the hot bottle seared his skin.

He slipped it around his belt and Leo asked "Is that enough?" Bronte shook his head as he looked at what looked to be a prototype of Foxfire and he said "If you melt that. It should cover the interior of the Agro so it contains magma, some extra to extract it from the volcano." Leo frowned as he sighed "Ok." Marella's hand lit back up with the snap of her fingers.

She concentrated onto the 'Foxfire' building as she muttered "I am making it hotter than the average temperature, to melt a structure like that." Leo's eye twitched as he asked "What is Everblaze's max heat?" Bronte didn't meet his eye as he said "Everblaze doesn't have a max heat." Leo's jaw dropped.

The large blaze in Marella's hand shot out colliding with the side of the pyramid building and after a moment a thunderous boom shattered the wall and the small structures around it glass flew in every direction as the glass Everblaze ate screamed the bottom of the structure giving out and the entire pyramid gave in on itself and turned into a puddle.

Bronte grabbed the bottle at his hip and chunked it into the fire, it whirled into the container and the purple liquid sloshed the Everblaze in the middle burning like a neon light. The Everblaze roared and I looked at Linh as I asked "Can you put it out?" Fear washed over Marella's face Linh shook her head violently her silverish blue eyes reflecting the flames like a mirror.

Linh reached into her pocket and smashed the bottle Percy gave her to the floor. The ground shook before five geysers erupted from the ground swirling into a typhoon the ground shook and water sprouted from it the Everblaze roared fighting against, the water shot up engulfing the flames and dragging it to the ground, the blaze seemed to scream as it extinguished. The water collapsed to the ground getting slurped up by the lushes thick ground now charred black.

Looking over at Marella her face was pale her hand over her mouth as she whispered "I-I didn't know I could do that it was..." Her voice trailed off "horrifying." Bronte frowned as he nodded "Yes, but you can't help it." She looked down.

Leo frowned "Wait." He looked at Marella, "Can you come with us?" She flinched and Bronte's eyes hardened, Leo withered slightly as he stuttered "I-I mean since we might need your fire o-or-" "Enough." Bronte said Marella looked at him confused "I will ask the council." We all flinched at that one. He walked off pressing his thumb to his impather.

After a moment he walked back over swiftly as he grabbed Keefe arm and said "Get Leo out of here, the council is on their way and they don't know he is a demigod." Keefe nodded grabbing Leo's arm and holding his pathfinder up to the light and they glittered away just as the council glittered into the pastures.

They took in the destruction around them and Emery looked at Marella "I am guessing this is your doing?" He asked Bronte jumped in "Yes, but I gave her permission. Considering we have been trying to get rid of some of these structures for a while we also needed crystal to extract magma. Also, you guys arrested the Black Swan without consulting me."

Slowly they looked around and Emery said "Back to the subject of Marella going to the Forbidden Cities, to help to stop Yellowstone from destroying the world, shall we vote." Marella's eye twitched, seemed everyone does that when they are confused and aggravated. Emery continued "If you wish for this young Pyrokinetic to join these young elves and reckless demigods. Show your hands."

Five hands went up, my heart plummeted when Kenric or Oralie raised their hands, seriously? What happened to support? Disappointment flashed in Marella's eyes and Emery frowned massaging his temples as he yelled "Enough!" It took me a second to realize he was communicating telepathically.

"We've come to a decision, for the young pyrokinetic to join you guys-" We whooped and cheered and Marella smiled and Emery cleared his throat "but." Out hearts plummetted and he continued "She will have a tutor, just like Sophie." We frowned and I asked "Tutor? Is there another pyrokinetic?" The councillor's shared a look and Kenric looked pissed off. "Just the one." My blood froze "No fucking way." Bronte's hands tightened into fists.

"He will be well supervised," Emery said, anger boiled in my stomach and I could see it in Bronte's, Oralie's, and Kenric's. "He doesn't need supervision! He needs an army around him!" I yelled, Emery sighed "Sophie, we understand your concerns. He won't be able to access Everblaze and he will also be wearing a device that makes Bronte's inflicting on him two times as painful. If you absolutely must you can remove his binding cuffs."

"You can't be serious." Fitz asked pain etched onto the lightning girl's face as she said "If you want your pyrokinetic friend with you, we are very serious. A young pyrokinetic under pressure can be devastating." "I don't need a babysitter!" Marella yelled, "Especially not a madman!"

"Sophie," Emery said ignoring Marella as he continued "deal or no deal." I looked at my friends and they were shaking their heads rapidly, but I know what we have to do. We might hate Fintan down to his core but this is to save the world we have to put our biased feelings aside and look at this rationally.

"Deal." I spat
