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."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTLfkpCwdR
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8n06gCSOu
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."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsmdEupS3J
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY2w56t9dm
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."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0lMv2gBRr
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAdxOXgikC
"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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ614aRFV3Bc
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyuxShmBtT
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."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI3spVd1Ar
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUjnQskDvl
Star took a step towards Father Void. "What...did this book...look like?" he quizzed while tilting his head to one side.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnevwwhjiMn
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iTvvlaRlt
"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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBKop8mX4w

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."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNKaPhkEqx
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9KFzh5JIS
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?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bCNtaK2vM
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wghoFAgGr
"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."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxF6kLHqS2
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iCbgkQG1F
Rose shook her head. "We aren't siblings by blood. He did say I remind him of his late sister."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42KXLuZwjj
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfBfXI7r91
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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nbmt5DkRT
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZLWtDy331
"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."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6FUyln78P
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2bVxaXSfm
"I see...I wonder if that was when he was granted this book he refuses to show me..."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXfoWqoTEG
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiOybZRYUq
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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPTmPL2UR5
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes8b0zdUYL
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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmifdhbFljX
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hQ5KpgkSF
"Why do you keep looking up there?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVYZIOSUkK
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkMX2GIZaY
"...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?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPi46eXdhC
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cmr7iM3sn
"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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvylJXiYuFO
