Mnemonic

Xena is in front of the barn, working at her job, which is nighttime watch. She has her sword in one hand, and a trashcan lid in the other, serving as a shield. She sees some sparks brightly glowing on the ground near the hay and she covers them with her lid, extinguishing them. With the sparks extinguished, the nighttime darkness is total.
