The J Trio (4)

“You will learn sometime, young one. When you are ready.” They said. Joan and Jack had not noticed that we were lost.
“Ummm…. I think I’ll leave now, if that’s okay.” I said, backing away slowly. I grabbed the shoulder of Joan, but I just felt air. I turned around. Instead of Joan and Jack, there were two crimson beasts standing right in front of me. They looked down at themselves.
“We were right Han.” The old woman said.
“I always am.” Joan and Jack, or the crimson beasts looked at themselves. They couldn’t figure out what happened and where they were.
“Joan, Jack.” I addressed them. “We got lost, and you two turned into beasts.” They looked a little less confused after that. Next, the older people addressed me, that was after I told Joan and Jack what was going on.
“Little one,” The older woman said. I looked down at my tiny body and gave an ashamed smile. “I am Nguyet, the man is Han.” I smiled and bowed. I don’t know why, but I thought it was the right thing to do. “See, I told you that I was right, Han.” Nguyet said. “It’s hard to say this, but you are an element.” She said, addressing me again.
“An element? How can I be that?” I said.
“Well, I said this was hard to say this. You are not and element so to speak, but the human form of one. Someone who can find power in the element and control the element. This can be used for evil, but I sense that you would not do that, even for your life.” There Nguyet was right, about the evil thing. She was either off her rocker completely, or telling a very strange truth. I guessed the second one. Han continued her speech.
“Behind you are two fire demons. Very common and easy to defeat. They melt the ice, but water dissolves them.” He said. Turning around to face me better.
