There are no phoenixes in this world, and Ave naturally didn't recognize a phoenix. She only knew that after Miss Keroy had swallowed a piece of flesh from a giant, she caught on fire.
They tried many methods. Rowena suggested using water to extinguish the fire, while Bi'an thought it was too slow to find water and that they should put Miss Keroy in a place devoid of air. Just as they were discussing the location, Ethan returned.
And what Ethan did was...
He directly reached out his hand to Miss Keroy's head and gently patted it a few times.
"Aren't you afraid of getting burned?"
Ave's eyes widened, and only then did she notice that not only did Miss Keroy not show any signs of pain, she even happily rubbed against Ethan's palm—just like usual. Despite burning for so long, her feathers remained unaffected by the flames, becoming even more beautiful under the golden radiance.
