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."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx1B4OQ6w4
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNDlfDPvcI
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."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UHX2Oa9Z7
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoKrGmdzDh
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."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgAY3vGaKQ
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8QkUMgBQX
"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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLM9I4C0Ge
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf9aGLX1cK
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."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIZ5tAAR8G
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5PNzIIVhF
Star took a step towards Father Void. "What...did this book...look like?" he quizzed while tilting his head to one side.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8TFrcKuRK
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzN1oTvnnV
"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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvvsJHpATa

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."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgfjxci6Xs
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20WOdDe09B
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?"677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGO3HjC3Ql
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr0uBlQ8Tx
"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."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPpY8DrAlc
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopOh3LIZzB
Rose shook her head. "We aren't siblings by blood. He did say I remind him of his late sister."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8FOJ4QxUm
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90ui0StODJ
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflGiuLLs0K
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWLgVb2aV3
"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."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0ffYHBMig
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY0xFF8lU8
"I see...I wonder if that was when he was granted this book he refuses to show me..."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLaEEvg4yx
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQF4lbSULZ
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv9M6vLzef
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha7v0UF4Vq
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKs0nPRoSi
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQZ6glTrNw
"Why do you keep looking up there?"677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMJDZabzzv
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxKJis7kBC
"...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?"677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8uM0eiYHH
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGnEgEQaO2
"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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSNcxwJMVn
