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."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5yhysuXam
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgIEjb0rU2
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."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h5yheAYhj
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzaJRUVDHs
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."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bIbmxzpQ5
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwinGnDEtYB
"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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ25uGYCOs
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuqZ4EHmzq
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."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3LhwRmSOq
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFleOU5hipi
Star took a step towards Father Void. "What...did this book...look like?" he quizzed while tilting his head to one side.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDhHquPpA9
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5H3Lqp7mC
"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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFI2LJEHyH

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."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dTxjrdAwS
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVSk6m6kYF
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?"608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL4XNErmY0
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh69Sc4Yng6
"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."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKexV0oKquZ
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAPcXk9w2z
Rose shook her head. "We aren't siblings by blood. He did say I remind him of his late sister."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3In0EDzK6
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwMWfhaGUt
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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRT802roMe
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugpyuuEJds
"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."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF7CsOqstp
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW2iUdx3cU
"I see...I wonder if that was when he was granted this book he refuses to show me..."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oydTEQopp
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcmwKuNKO9
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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuFD95Q1F7
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQxqMifBhw
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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4AV99bhxk
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvvrJA4cKF
"Why do you keep looking up there?"608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFH14MaMIy
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTsPk3fnTq
"...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?"608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MYLNl6Thw
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGOJMXde9O
"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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWfxRHavo7
