"No." Xero said. "I tried to get you to see the truth. Speaking of which..." A green crystal appeared in his hands, and he tossed it to Kros. "Break that. It's a healing crystal. Also, Halflings normally have the powers of both species. Such as Dracons. Human/Dragon crossbreeds. They can breath fire and lightning."

Kros was't paying attention. The healing crystal hit tehs and right in front of a rapidly shirnking human. In a few moments, there was only a tiny black bird, barley, if even, the size of a thumb. It opened it's small wings, flapping into Maria's hand, and curling up against her palm, tiny little pinpricks of tears going down it's feathers.
(Tsk tsk, never upset an emotional person...)

((Eh, Xero doesn't care much for emotions, as you'll see later in my plot, for reasons that will be revealed at the same time...))
Xero walked up and broke the crystal. A green light covered the three of them, healing all wounds. He looked at Kros. "I only fix wrongs I see happening. I never purposely do wrongs." He walked off.

Maria snapped out of it. Looking around, she saw a wall before the water, and Kros walking off. Her head hurt serverly. Watching Kros in her hand, she said,"What happened?" She didnt smile, like she normally did. Something was wrong if Xero was walking off.
From the corner of her eye, she saw a broken crystal.

The tiny little bird let out a small, sad peeping noise, curling into Maria's hand closer. Although hard to pick out, there were a group of pale feathers circling around the bird's neck, as though something had tried to strangle it. Or, in Kros' case, took away the air.

The wall broke down, it's time limit expended. The green crystal fragments dissolved, melting away into nothing on the sand.

Maria watched all of this happen. Kros's feathers, and Xero's crystal melting. She looked between the water, Kros, and the back of Xero, for he was leaving. Standing, she felt Kros in her hair.
"Please, what happened? I dont know, I dont remember!"

Kros slowly flapped his way out of Maria's hair, slowly and steadily becoming a Mer-Man again, this time keeping the Charm in check.
"I think... He said the Mer-people charm was affecting you..."
He explained, looking down at the ground, the fin at the top of his head drooping slightly.
"If that was what happened... I'm sorry..."

She shook her head. "A charm?" She was confused. Then it dawned on her. The mer-man charm! Sure, she was attracted to him, but the charm had intensified it. Holding her head in her hands, is started to throb. Touching his hand, she said, [/b]"I...I forgive you."[/b] Standing, she ran after Xero.
"Please Xero! Wait! I want to thank you, for helping us."

Xero turned back for only a moment, eyes gentle. "It's my self-imposed duty. There is no need for thanks of any kind." He started leaving again, paused, and turned back once more. He shot her a small smile, before he left completely.
