When all the artifacts are taken from the houses by the officials, the artifact that Ky gave Cassia is no longer safe. Ky gave her a compass, which the officials have no knowledge of him having, but when they take them, cassia is able to trust Xander and she puts it down his shirt for him to hide. he hides it in his bushes where it will be safe.

Xander and Cassia's relationship is a little, how can i put this? ... damaged? Cassia has informed Xander that she doesn't feel for him the way he feels for her, but instead she is in love with someone else which is totally illegal. he doesn't take this news at all well.

It is brought to cassia's attention, first by Xander because he loves to play games that Ky is extremely smart, but he throws every single game. he knows what move would be the winning move as soon as he starts the game, but he goes with the move the average person would take. later cassia confronts him and he claims that he only does this to stay unnoticed. Cassia says: "Ky can play this game. He can play all of their games, including the one in front of him that he just lost. He knows exactly how to play, and that's why he loses every time." if he were to win as much as he were supposed to given how smart he is, he would not be average, he would not work in a slum job. he would be watched. constantly watched, because he has shown skills that have made other people believe that he has talent others don't.

It is made known to cassia by Ky after Ky suddenly has two brand new poems that there is a place where people have saved things other that the hundred of everything. If you go to the basement of the museum and stand in front of the Oria Province exhibit, someone will ask you if they can help you with something, if you say yes, they know you will want contact with an archivist.
