What a perfect name, Xander thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe looked again at the tranquil blue energy cloud\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esurrounding her. His own cloud was similar to hers in that it was\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emostly blue, but it contained hints of other colors at times. His also moved slowly, but not as slowly or as gracefully as Serenity’s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“So, you can see them, too,” she stated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Energy clouds?
