Spark arrives at Valis and delivers the message to King Etoh. The message includes new orders for Spark to return to Flaim if he has failed to retrieve the Soul Crystal Ball. Aldonova helps console Spark by suggesting the group go sightseeing in Roid as cover for finding the courier before the evening banquet. Once there, Ryna's knowledge again comes in handy and she suggests heading to the taverns to spread a rumour about wanting to travel to Kanon, in Marmo territory, to find work as mercenaries. Eventually the strategy pays off and a group of men find them. However, they are undercover Valis soldiers who attack them for wanting to join Marmo. Aldonova and Leaf cast spells to help the group escape but they are separated. Spark is saved by a man calling himself Jay, who says he will transport them to Kanon.
