Chapter 174 174 Meeting The Leader Of The Roost (3)



She then began asking Evelyn for explanations on her power, but even with her knowledge from Earth it was not like she was an expert on gravity. Which was still wrapped in a fair bit of mystery even for those that studied it.

"I see I do not really understand but nevertheless it is very amazing." The Leader of the Roost said while smiling brightly at Evelyn.

"Now I have questioned you enough. Is there anything you wish to ask me?"

Suddenly being given the go ahead to start making inquires of her own Evelyn was frozen for a few moments.

Honestly, she had not been expecting to be given a chance to ask anything of her own while in the presence of the Roost\'s leader and figured she would need to talk with Melisandre later.

"Yes, there is something that has been on my mind. You said that you gave Melisandre your tears to help me. Is that what those golden drops were?"

"Oh, did she not tell you? Yes, those were my tears. All of my tears have healing properties though the ones I gave her are special and I can only produce once every four months. I am a phoenix after all." Minerva said before giving Melisandre a wry smile

Evelyn\'s eyes went wide at this revelation.

She knew that this world was filled with magic and incredible creatures she had never seen before, but this was the first time she had heard about a mythical being such as a phoenix.

"But you looked just like an owl. I thought phoenixes were supposed to be different. How does and owl become a phenix?" Evelyn said, perplexed.

From all the depictions she had seen on Earth she did not ever remember a phoenix having the shape of an owl.

"Hm, it is simple really. Any beast that is a bird can become a phoenix through evolution, so long as they have an affinity for fire and meet the correct requirements. Though they are far from easy as your master knows full well." Minerva said, shattering Evelyn\'s view on the mythic bird.

Yet it was the last thing that soon stuck in Evelyn\'s mind and she turned her head to look at Melisandre.

She had known she was trying to evolve but did not know she was aiming for something as amazing as becoming a phoenix.

"Yes, my goal is to follow in Lady Minerva\'s footsteps and become a phoenix. However, I am still a long way from my goal. It could take centuries before I am ready." Melisandre said with her lips pursed.

In response Minerva began laughing and said, "Oh but you already could have evolved if you wanted to. Most of the items you would need become unnecessary if you have a heavenly flame. All you would have needed to do was take it from your disciple."

Hearing this from Minerva, Evelyn shuddered violently.

If all it took for Melisandre to take the next step in her own evolution was Evelyn\'s heavly flame then she had all the reason in the world to off her and take it.

Evelyn herself had been willing to kill five foxes for one of the items she needed to evolve, and she had not doubt that Melisandre had killed for far less.

"Lady Minerva I would apricate if you did not deliberately scare her. I already told Evelyn that I would never do anything to harm her. I have other avenues and have not intention of taking what is hers." Melisandre said with an almost angry expression.

Minerva just continued laughing. Clearly pleased with how riled up she had gotten both Melisandre and Evelyn.

"Yes, I already know that. You completely rebuffed me when I mentioned it while you were petitioning for my aid. I simply wanted her to know just how much you care and look out for her. Anyway, now that she is healed, it would not make any sense to do anything untoward. One day she is likely to join the leadership of the Roost."

At this Melisandre nodded her head in agreement.

Evelyn on the other hand just sat there blankly.

She was not excited to hear that the leader of the Roost suggested Melisandre steal her heavenly flame, or that she might one day be a leader of the Roost.

Overall, her life experience in total would not even have her being considered an adult by Earth standards and she had no experience leading people.

However, when she put forth her objection, Minerva just said, "Others follow the strong whether the one in question wants it. Unless you are a true monster and simply kill anyone how approaches you, there will be those that look up to you. I can tell you from my experience, when thousands look towards you for leadership you have only a few options."

Shaking her head, Evelyn vehemently refused to ever be involved with leading others.

"Well, there is no need to discuss this now. You are still young and have along way to go before other owls will start flock towards you. Simply enjoy your time now and push anything else to the back of your mind. You are only young once after all." Minerva said while giggling.

She then became quite serious all of a sudden and both Evelyn and Melisandre tensed up and their backs became straight.

"Melisandre make sure you do all you can to raise Evelyn to be strong. Whether she wishes to lead or not she is one of the greatest potential assets the Roosts has. And I do not think I need to say this, but make sure that you do not tell anyone, not even the other hall masters about her. If anyone comes to question you about any of the peculiarities of your disciple, tell them to bring their inquiries to me."

Nodding her head, Melisandre affirmed she would do as Minerva had asked.

"Now as much I have enjoyed speaking with the two of you I have things that do require my attention. But before you go, I have a gift for you Evelyn."

Minerva then pulled out of seemingly nowhere a badge that had a detailed carving of a golden owl on it and handed it over to Evelyn.

Seeing this, Melisandre\'s jaw opened wide, and Evelyn imagined that if they lived in a carton world it would have hit the floor.

"Lady Minerva, are you sure?" She said as she turned towards the leader of the Roost with a look of disbelief.

"Yes I am." She said to Melisandre before turning to Evelyn. "That is my personal emblem. If you should ever feel your life or freedom are in danger from any within the Roost, feel free to flash that emblem. It proves that you are under my direct protection. But make sure you do not abuse it. I do not want to hear that you are using my authority inappropriately."

Gulping, Evelyn made sure to say she would not abuse the gift that Minerva had given her and thanked her profusely for it.

"Now be on your way. I am sure that we all have much to accomplish."
