With Xander incensed, he wasn't aware of the trickle of power she pushed into the red gem in her hand.

Eden funneled her magic into the gem.

Xander's eyes went from the gem to her, the only person in either world that he trusted.

It swirled and eddied before finding its way to the gem.

He gripped the gem.

His hand was clenching and releasing the gem.

I was curious to meet the woman who will claim the gem.

He held out a black cord with a red gem.

She threatened to reveal the secret of his gem to his enemies, a secret recently spilled.

Moonlight reflected off the red gem.

His secret – that the gem controlled him – erased any doubt she had about him.

He clutched the gem by one end and held it up to show the Others.

Xander's fist closed around the gem.

Red dust trickled from Xander's hand as he crushed the gem.
