Bab 462: Krelandur Runes

Nix glanced over his shoulder at the two women. "Done yet?"

Shae's warm hand rested lightly on his bare shoulder. "Nearly... Explain again what this is?"

Nix, Shae, and a troubled-looking Tai'Qui were behind the closed door of the ranch's master bedroom. The Earth Dragon was wearing a green bandana, her normal warm demeanor was absent.

Tai sighed, the sound of it was loud in the large room. "We aren't trying to trick you or anything. The blood fusion did not go as planned."

Nix waited until Shae removed her hand before frowning at the Earth Dragon. "I already knew that. What does this have to do with the runes? Are they debuffs?"

"Nothing like that." Tai obviously didn't want to talk about the subject. "You didn't turn into a dragon, Nix." She stared at the Earth Rune in the center of his back. "I didn't realize how others view us." Tai moved closer to the pair, her finger tracing her own rune.
