Dragon and Phoenix

Alex watched Rosemist, wondering what she meant by her words. Was it a good idea to ask her about her own mortality? He chose not to.

They walked while they talked, continuing their trek up the mountain. With her warm clothes, Momo wasn't as bothered by the cold as much as she previously was either, so their speed picked up.

Alex tried asking more about Primordials from Rosemist and got enough information that he could name all 15 of the Primordials.

There was the Qilin, Three-legged Crow, Dragon-Turtle, Roc, Headless Immortal, Moon Rabbit, Yellow Dragon, Guardian Tiger, Midnight Phoenix, Flying Raindragon, Flood Dragon, Heavenly Dog, Fox Spirit, Thousand-Miles Horse, and Nineheaded Phoenix.

He had known most of the names from Scarlet, except for a few. Now he knew them all.

"I'm curious. Why are there so many Dragons and Phoenixes there?" he asked. "Were they not good at coming up with names or what?"
