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."628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yCwYYftwm
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ATstYNDu4
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."628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxxZI48ZGK
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2mglvkJqR
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."628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTJyy0HyWW
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKPDGhheRn
"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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJj9ipFdqk
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAabFKyjC0e
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."628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uA8TDHqca
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOGASnq5on
Star took a step towards Father Void. "What...did this book...look like?" he quizzed while tilting his head to one side.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU6liujmer

"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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI8YevG6bR

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."628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajwEVgFmLz
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKlgxeFtfj
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?"628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYztBGZBTYI
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHKj99g1GJ
"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."628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gs3VNtbDL
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TQMqMF0ii
Rose shook her head. "We aren't siblings by blood. He did say I remind him of his late sister."628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP2dtmLFB2
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHboaEOAsFw
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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7smOfgIetH
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDgh6Ix9QY
"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."628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRZRZ1fXnx
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DcjmloxhK
"I see...I wonder if that was when he was granted this book he refuses to show me..."628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jUl0DibgJ
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GnwBzFy3c
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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8nix7xYBo
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVBl7PNklt
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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKtrQ8mIxd
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GiPqOhO9g
"Why do you keep looking up there?"628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQy0Sp9EDs
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaIUgzaeBe
"...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?"628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gIGEn9th8
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts4ioka4KC
"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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZm6bqlQ0J
