Xander kept his gaze towards the horizon. "I don't know what it means. It is unlike the crystals to allow such a power to go unnoticed. However, your conversion of that flower revealed that power. Already, the crystals have succeeded in nullifying some of your powers." He deftly swiped the crystalline flower out of Faith's hands. "Nothing is ever truly pure in this world. Not anymore. It may give the specious appearance of purity, but on the inside, underneath the layers, its corruption is as evident as ever." While saying this, Xander crushed the flower, only slightly. The crystal flower cracked into five pieces, and they showed that while an inch of exterior crust was made of the white crystal, the core of the crystal was still rainbow crystal. "As I said." said Xander with indifferent disgust. Then, he got a look on his face that indicated him remembering a scene from his past, at which point his face contorted in suppressed rage. He instantly crushed the crystal flower pieces to dust and flung them aside. His face returned to the emotionless mask it once was, and he said, "Nothing good can occur in this world. None can claim to be pure, only slightly better than the crystals. And as for me.... I can't even claim that much. It would be best to stay away from using that power."
