Chaosvolt and Apathetic walked together towards Saltmummy's room. In a few days, the spring casting was to occur. More importantly, in chaosvolts mind anyway, they wanted to see this "zoo" that Saltmummy had raved on and on about. They had all seen the large cage shaped objects covered in large sheets of fabric being hauled down to the large chamber saltmummy had designated for digging out, and it had been killing them to know what was under those cloths and how Saltmummy and her collaborators had managed to catch so many. Chaosvolt had kept close count of those covered objects. There were 390 of them. 390 of what were obviously cages of various shapes and sizes. Saltmummy hadn't let on a single detail except that each one contained a different animal. No two were the same. Chaosvolt assumed, logically, that she was lying. Lying, or perhaps just being daft.

They knocked on Saltmummy's door, and when no answer came they entered. Inside they found about what they expected. Saltmummy lying face up on the floor, sulking. "What you want?" She said, not looking at them. "We came to discuss the spring casting." Saltmummy didn't speak, just stared up at the ceiling. "We also want to know if the zoo is finished yet." Saltmummy blinked at that. "oh? oh. Yah. Zoo finished. It finished back in middle of winter." She stood up. "I guess I show you. No one else gonna see it if I don't show it." Apathetic asked "If it was done back in mid-winter, then why didn't you tell anyone?" Saltmummy only shrugged and said "I don't know."

Progress to the zoo chamber was slow. Chaosvolt and Apathetic were eager to be off, but Saltmummy simply trudged along. Even Apathetic understood what must have been going through her head, but damn, did they have to move this slow? Except for the usual sounds of kobold noise in the warren, everything was relatively quiet. Saltmummy usually babbled at length about nothing in particular to whoever would hear, but now she was awfully quiet. "How many left now?" She suddenly asked, "to bury I mean?" Apathetic cocked her head, counting from memory. "two or three I think." In truth, Apathetic didn't mind having her monument to herself converted into a yard where bodies were kept. Who else could protect the deceased better than the boldest of the bold?
