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."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eaCiuGvYh
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPDao0uOyi
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."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDWelA211y
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYa6nByv48
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."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcF4H8qiBu
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekHdn9Uw6e
"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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfCrvAa5xS
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo6p2OUJpZ
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."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZQjG1SHMq
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesKknwoSru
Star took a step towards Father Void. "What...did this book...look like?" he quizzed while tilting his head to one side.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNClHKsBd2
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBOdUW61mi
"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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpE1Fa2Xrn

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."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda34UqRXck
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ3pMW05t4
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?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn73RIftSx
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmuJlnu2eR
"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."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TKtopTfxt
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysKT8OXQ9n
Rose shook her head. "We aren't siblings by blood. He did say I remind him of his late sister."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvxfn4UEr0
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvPs6fJeZy
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GxFVRX47u
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9VzTCFY1T
"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."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp5ZSPc8QC
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeWmD3tm3y
"I see...I wonder if that was when he was granted this book he refuses to show me..."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1W7UpNL1Z
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1suCXMs41
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54mqAmzvbC
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu2BA6cysL
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT6CuQcya0
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10U23EmuFh
"Why do you keep looking up there?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMphXwKJ3d9
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU1jpveRV2
"...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?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uzRixDMhI
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSk5WGxvJr
"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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlfxN5CQmX
