Mnemonic


[xi-] Xena is in [1] front of the [-ao] barn where she sees a strange pen hidden among the 艹 flowers. She goes up to it and picks up the 蕭 Desolate Pen, and sure enough a abyss immediately opens up, swallowing all of the 艹 flowers and grass and everything else, turning the front of the barn into a 蕭 desolate scene.
