Alex walked out of the large room with Maron and Hao Ya and went over to the backyard to find Scarlet.
She was still talking with the Snake senior in their absence.
"Scarlet," Alex called out. "Look who it is."
Scarlet turned around to see Maron standing next to Alex, and even without the introduction, she could see the resemblance.
"Ah, this must be the daughter everyone was talking about," Scarlet said and walked close up close to them.
Maron's eyes went wide seeing the glowing bird that almost looked like it was in eternal flames. She gulped a bit and bowed slowly.
"A phoenix," she said slowly under her breath. She quickly got a hold of herself and bowed toward the bird. "It's nice to meet you, senior."
"It's nice to meet you, child," Scarlet said. "I'm bonded with your father, so you can call me Aunt Scarlet if you like."
