Hiding In Plain Sight

Two bowls containing the powdered substance remained before him. 

Emma walked over to peep at his work. 

"What are those, master?" she asked out of curiosity.

Chiron smiled at her. its only a little something to get their eyes off my back.

"Their!?" she asked again, wondering who Chiron was referring to.

"You will not understand. But this will allow me smooth sailing for a while." On saying this, he turned to Claudia, still daydreaming on the side. 

"Hunter!" Chiron called out, and the majestic core beast of the shadows popped out of a shadow pool. 

Chiron had been away for a while, and in that time, Hunter had become very big. It was almost the size of the Blue cored mountain lion he had killed in the highlands. With legs so thick, they looked like pillars, and its presence that spoke of its deep rooted heritage in the shadows. 

"Enjoy the meal!" Chiron pointed to Claudia.
