Shumi had a similar conversation with the Moon Goddess, who had appeared before her as a mature and beautiful woman with silver hair draping along her side. She stood with a warm smile on her face, now no longer the crazy woman that had been with her during the start.
"Are you really the mother of all phoenixes?" Shumi asked.
"No, I am not," the Moon Goddess explained. "That is what they call me, but there were phoenixes that existed long before me. I have never had a child of my own, so I could never be a mother."
"Really? But many of the Primordials such as the Golden Crow, Midnight Phoenix, and the Nine-Headed Phoenix were said to be your children," Shumi said. "Is that incorrect?"
