Xander's Breakthrough -

Jane was in perfect health and even had a pair of wings.

She set out to find

Xander

Xander had arrived at Victoria and immediately set about trying to heal the

girl.

Desperate for new insights and techniques they consulted the faeries and

began studying fae magic in hopes it would provide them with new insights

It did

They approached fae magic like learning a new programming language.

But in order to master the language you must master the logic, and the logic

was not meant for the human mind.

The more they understood, the more they had

to twist their sanity.

It drove them incurably mad.

Furthermore,

in order to give the girl new flesh without waiting the long time it would

take to grow it, they had get it from somewhere.

So they took it from

themselves.

Xander was now a laughing, insane torso, devoid of legs and all but

their right arm

Xander:

Best you can

Best you can

And i swore that i would save her but i knew i never would

I cannot hold the patterns of the things i’ve understood

Your mind is what you sacrifice to peer behind the cracks

Too much to grasp but you must, you must, you must bring her back

And you must, this once, save the girl that’s crying

All your strife, your whole life is wasted if she’s dying

And you cry away

And you cry lord you cry today

You try and try you try the best you can you try until you die

You try the best you can

You try and try you try the best you can you try until you die

Best you can

Jane:

Im sorry that i failed you one more time

Im sorry that you broke down in a blaze of pain and fire

Just to see you free from harm id rather id have died

Im sorry that i failed you one more time

Im sorry then i failed you one more time

Of all the things i loved you most, the sun within my life

And when in that one moment you needed that last line

Im sorry then i failed you one more time

Im sorry that i failed you one more time

Im sorry that you broke down in a blaze of pain and fire

Just to see you free from harm id rather id have died

Im sorry that i failed you one more time
