Only Half Khione
The Khione woman before him was young, much too young to be a mother. She was beautiful in all ways, her white hair matched her silver eyes, it was as rare as the sky turning red and Xanth could not help but feel mesmerized by them. It captured his attention and he could not just look away.
“It is almost impossible for just anyone to be able to sense my presence.” Xanth started, he eyed the woman cautiously as he could feel the powerful aura that emanated from within her. “Yet you were able to do, and so easily too.”
“I am not just anyone.” Her tone of voice shot out anger and spite, it spoke of her hatred and dislike for him. “And I know your kind, I have studied your kind, the kind of negative aura you give off, the negative energies.”
He chuckled in mock surprise. “Negative?”
“You are an Axeris, are you not?” She asked him. She asked him like she knew what the answer would be but she just wanted him to acknowledge the fact that she was right.
