Chapter 87: A trickster turtle

Xaloc chuckled softly but still stepped through into the sunroom calmly. It was a large room with numerous windows and large blue drapes that helped soften the light in the room. There was a large cream sofa and a small wooden table opposite it.

His face was cold and focused on the target as his hand held the blue bow. Every stroke blended into each other creating a very lifelike portrait, one could only guess how much the painter poured into the picture.
