	In the days that followed her waking, Jastev explained to Zelia what had befallen her. The woman she had touched was none other then Gosaena, whose power was to draw all death to her for final rest. She had touched the winged arkati while she was held in a deep vision, and the power of the pair touching had overwhelmed the much younger arkati. Seeing only curiosity in Zelia and not seeking more death, Goseana had left her to Jastev's care. The encounter, however, had not left Zelia unmarked. From that day forward, she would be numbered of the handful of Arkati with the gift of foresight; though perhaps to a lesser degree then many of the others.

	When she was healed of her hurts, the gnomes packed up to leave but Zelia asked the small matriarch to travel with her. Unable to refuse the strange arkati's request, the gnome stayed with her as travel companion for many years. However, Zelia's mercurial moods, fickleness and mischievous ways caused the gnome to be left to her own for many days at a time. During one moment of calm, some decades later, Zelia hoisted the gnome to her repaired chariot and drew her into the skies. The passage was at once exhilarating and chaotic; causing what was left of the frail mortals mind to unravel into quiet laughter. At the end of the voyage Zelia placed the gnome high in the skies.
