Hoofsteps came down to the main floor before a voice joined them. "Sister Rose Petal!" she looked up to Father Void and now trotted up to him before bowing politely. "It's great to see you. I thought I saw you during the revival with some pony."868Please respect copyright.PENANAeHaZNznUEm
868Please respect copyright.PENANAOdVNtcYqxu
Rose stood and nodded, turning towards Star. "Yes, Father Void. I was with my new friend Star Mists and he asked if he could meet with you."868Please respect copyright.PENANAovCdIaz5Di
868Please respect copyright.PENANA2I2mnEmiP6
Father Void turned his sights on Star and looked his cloaked self over. "A mysterious one but I assure you there is no need to be afraid and hide yourself from us. We mean you no harm and welcome any pony looking for a place of safety from outside threats."868Please respect copyright.PENANABEu4UY19M4
868Please respect copyright.PENANAxa15oqf2IA
"Thank you, Father Void, for your kind words and offer but...I'm curious where you learned the secrets of the phoenix." Star began while peeking out from under the brim of his hood.868Please respect copyright.PENANANq3vsLO4KP
868Please respect copyright.PENANAy6ntLwEbcr
Father Void tilted his head in a curious manner. "Why would you ask? I was blessed with a book and inside it was the secrets I learned to master, thus I was blessed with this gift from the Gods of Old, becoming their messenger to give these loyal ponies freedom from loss."868Please respect copyright.PENANAQgip6Iv5Xe
868Please respect copyright.PENANAHZVBGsN6PF
Star took a step towards Father Void. "What...did this book...look like?" he quizzed while tilting his head to one side.868Please respect copyright.PENANAfxro9kMvfq
868Please respect copyright.PENANAbV9orH3z60
"I needn't tell you about what the Gods of Old gave me when out on a stroll." The stallion huffed sternly. "Why don't you remove your hood and stop hiding? That is, unless you intend us harm." He explained with a gentle although suspicious tone.868Please respect copyright.PENANAVKUKRzqJVS
868Please respect copyright.PENANAddv2YyzDON
Star stood still as he lowered his head then threw it back to show his messy mane and face clearly. On his forehead was a rough scar, looking as if a blade had been taken to his forehead and leaving so little there wasn't enough even worth being called a stump. There was a braid in his mane that fell along his neck, held in place by a blue hair tie. "Happy? Glad to see I'm a normal pony?" he questioned while eyeing the Unicorn stallion over, noticing a slight abnormal line around his chest to belly area. "Now...do you mind telling me what this supposed book looked like? I'm very interested in reading so if there are rare books around, then, I'd just love to know."868Please respect copyright.PENANAhoCEXTrziV
868Please respect copyright.PENANAqC3bZIjZca
Father Void cleared his throat into his hoof with a cough before proceeding to step back from the former Unicorn. "I think the temple is closed for the evening. It's been a great pleasure meeting such a unique individual as yourself." He looked to Rose before nodding his head. "You are welcome to stay here tonight if you don't want to be home alone with a new visitor in town. Or, perhaps our visitor would care to stay here in the temple for the night?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAB0cDyOmnks
868Please respect copyright.PENANApPnNI1rnSV
"Don't let me interrupt sibling bonding. I can find a room at the Inn or somewhere and come back in the morning to see if I'm allowed to look around at your books."868Please respect copyright.PENANAGKI36nh60I
868Please respect copyright.PENANA9bQGptAeFb
Rose shook her head. "We aren't siblings by blood. He did say I remind him of his late sister."868Please respect copyright.PENANApRxUQIcUSj
868Please respect copyright.PENANAO5pOYdwwMi
Star looked to the mare. "Late sister? She has passed?" the mare nodded silently. "May I ask how?" he watched her but did pass a glance over to Father Void who had stepped away to go upstairs and bid the families goodbye for the evening.868Please respect copyright.PENANAfLNChQZ3Dg
868Please respect copyright.PENANAW8nvkymt4P
"I'm not sure how but he has said he lost her when her heart magically vanished. He's never been able to find it and by now..." she sighed quietly, "he said it would be too late to use the graces of the Gods of Old to revive her as he has done so many others."868Please respect copyright.PENANA1vVLeaCbvK
868Please respect copyright.PENANA1dmphEYI1f
"I see...I wonder if that was when he was granted this book he refuses to show me..."868Please respect copyright.PENANAhSmgwMxKP3
868Please respect copyright.PENANA6CZN59yW55
Rose shrugged, "not sure but would you like to stay here or at my place? I have some spare room if you're interested." She was confused as Star was watching the ponies silhouettes move and laid down for the coming night. "Um are you even listening to me?" she stepped in front of him before waving a foreleg in front of his face.868Please respect copyright.PENANABTqlBo8hKT
868Please respect copyright.PENANAysve63z4kg
He shook his head, stepping back from her and glared. "I'm fine and I was thinking of seeing what room was open here. It has a very...quaint feeling about it." He explained as his eyes shifted from her back to the second floor.868Please respect copyright.PENANATxNn4X75S1
868Please respect copyright.PENANAy81snviI4r
"Why do you keep looking up there?"868Please respect copyright.PENANA05rnN4R3l6
868Please respect copyright.PENANArVpOSzPKyX
"...Just curious, that's all." He bluntly answered before moving towards a hall looking area before looking to her. "Mind showing me to a room?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAhMcTI6hPry
868Please respect copyright.PENANATLeGqgqRNZ
"Um...sure...." she lead the way, looking back to make sure he was following as she flicked her tail at times while leading the way.868Please respect copyright.PENANA4bTUxnraOk
