AN: I'm not entirely sure about this plunny, but it's the only one left alive for now. As much as i might dislike the rabidness of the little critters, I do like the writing that comes with them.


Disclaimer: I do not own Aura Kingdom/Fantasy Frontier/Whatever Incarnation. I'd like to call the Xeno-sisters mine, but I'm pretty sure that's counteracted by the agreement I signed. *Sigh*


Once upon a time one could have called XenoSong a perpetually cheery, if somewhat sarcastic, person. She however didn't have much experience when it came to the negative side of the emotional spectrum.

She had two sisters, one of whom her twin, and two loving parents. All four of them had gone off on adventures when she -and with her her sister XenoWing- were old enough. She had gone to live with an aunt in Port Skandia, mostly content with her life.

Still, she had smiled.

It, therefore, said a lot when she felt like crying. As she had increasingly often lately.

First had come the stress of finding herself burdened with an eidolon and having to fight for the answers of what was going on. The same eidolon resulting in her consequent banishment.

Second had come the whole ordeal in Helonia Coast. She didn't mind helping people, she really didn't, but she had not quite been up to the level of freeing an entire region from pirates.

Third had come Crescent Hill, and Gaia damn it, she was weary. It had been an emotional rollercoaster already, and to be met with yet another uncooperative village had nearly broken what self-restraint remind.

And now, after all this trouble in Cactakara Forest too, the spirit separator wasn't working.

She felt numb, and her shock allowed for Caroline to rage against her.

She was filled with rage, despair and denial, and some of that three-way-struggle must have shown on her face, because Caroline stopped flinging her hurtful words.

"You... You really didn't do this on purpose, did you?", the girl asked, through her own tears.

The dam broke, and XenoSong wept.
