I just assumed she never actually MET Astaroth, but would have heard of him, what with him being the special Kimaris son who had working sperm. 300+
Was the hybrid right? Tlantli never entertained beliefs of personal ability as a shaman, and so she hadn't thought upon the Tezcatlipoca any more than she needed to. She couldn't agree to the full cycle of words, only to the last half. The Atototztli didn't have it right. "Aye haftn't read the book. As aye say, we take leetle." In truth, she hadn't been curious enough to seek out a chance with the holy item. Something in the blood kept her away from Baphomet's seemingly odd obsession. Though she couldn't remember the argument, Mantus had only concerned himself with the boys and ehecatl. Her own knowledge of the faith had gone without orders from her biological sire, and Metetztli had abolished her desire to believe.
The question that came surprised Tlantli; the dark woman knew of her stand-in father, and therefor must have known her family. She cleared her throat, rubbing at vaguely protruding clavicles. It wasn't her place to feel embarrassed for the man who raised her, not like she did for the half-brother no one wanted. Only Astaroth, whom she knew by tales alone, had managed to father in a new generation of children. "No. Metetztli raysed us frahm very young, leetle ninos. Mantus dyed." Metetztli had been the perfect provider without the older coyote. She loved him more than she thought about the dead Kimaris progenitor. But no, Metetztli wasn't capable of being a true father to anything.
Ruddy eyes narrowed and petite face turned so slightly toward the woman. "You know Eterne, ahnd ahf maye family. Who ahre you." It was a question and a demand wrapped in one solid bolt. She hadn't known the coal slave who masqueraded as a princess amongst her people. Tlantli and her siblings had been too young to witness the fall of the Kimaris family, all because Astaroth brought tainted wolf blood back to Eterne in the form of a beautiful woman.
