Zutar would gladly tell Thothaga what the damned deer used to look like. But she would refuse to leave Thothaga here. First though, she would give away Astraea's most personal, shameful secret. So in a hushed tone that only Thothaga could hear, she spoke of what her mother Aetius told her.
"Yes, she did tell me literally everything before she died, including what Astraea used to look like, so listen close, Thothaga." Zutar sat down quickly, as if she was going to tell a story to a child....
"My mother Aetius went to Orion and sat on The Throne, using hindsight on it. And what she saw was Astraea sitting on the Throne. Astraea was a two legged creature at the time, who sat on The Throne, his two arms were on the armrests of the throne. He had long flowing hair too. He had weird, smooth skin and perfect complexion that was so pure and white, it looked as if it might be carved from alabaster. The one thing that had not changed, was that his red gem was still on his forehead. His eyes were pale blue. In her next vision, she could clearly see all of him then with more details. He had a slender body, with pale colorless skin and silvery white hair draped from his head almost as long as his body. He was very tall too." Oh but that was not it at all. She had more. "Then my mother saw something else in her visions as she sat on the throne. She saw Astraea old self, speaking to Nemean. Nemean was in Astraea's hands and she screamed this sentence. 'I'm telling you they're a bunch of liars we should eat them'. Then Astraea asked Nemean what Totum and Enki thought of her sentence. I knew who Totum was, but I did not know Enki at all. That name was new to me. Nemean then yelled at Astraea in response saying someone killed Totum." And that was the whole story. Though, there was another small part to this.
"My mother sought out Nemean, and in return for Nemean telling her the truth, she became Nemean's loyal servant. Nemean confirmed that what Aetius saw was actually Astraea. Nemean also mentioned that five thousand years ago, some creatures got the idea to rebel and escape, and they succeeded, but used a lot of others in the process. She also said Enki was another master who died in the rebellion, but their stone was revived. Though there was a warning. Nemean said that Astraea died, but the thing that revived him made him a deer. Astraea felt it was a curse, and she warned my mother not to speak of this in front of Astraea. As her daughter, she told me everything she found and what went on in her life, entrusting all this information to me. Next thing I know, I have a child telling me Astraea killed my mother, all because she knew his secret."
She took a breath, and shook her head in refusal. She would not leave Thothaga here. "Thothaga, I don't care what you do with the information I gave you, tell whoever you like. He deserves to have his pride ripped from him. Now Thothaga, listen to me. I am not going to leave you here. We are both going to make it out of this and survive unharmed. Now, come." Zutar would attempt to lift Thothaga on her back. She would carry Thothaga on her back, and get them both to a safer part of the cave. She turned to see if the spider was comfortable before getting them both out of Pisces. "You alright Thothaga?"
