The Xitharis is an object belonging to Number Four found in his Loric Chest.
It is a small, waxy but smooth, pale yellow stone found only on Lorien 's first moon. When charged by a member of the Garde it turns a darker shade of yellow and when passed to another Garde, Legacies can be transferred for a period of around an hour.
When Number Six parts with Number Four and Sam to travel to Spain, she charges the stone which allows Four to use her invisibility in order to sneak into the Mogadorian mountain base undetected.
Four takes the Xitharis with him when he, Six, and Sarah travel to the Arkansas to find Number Five. Four gives it to Six so she can transfer her Invisibility to Four or Five. Later when the Mogadorians appear she tosses it to Five, who just stares at it and doesn't pick it up. Later, Five admits that he lost the stone and though the group try to find it, they have to give up the search.
Five later reveals to Ella that he stole the Xitharis. He charges it with his flight legacy and gives it to Ella so that she could fly away from the Anubis. She doesn't get a chance to use it, and it is presumed to still be in her possession.
Trivia[]
- It may be related to Ximic. Unlike Ximic, however, its effects are temporary.
- Legacy Transference is another lehacy with a similar function and can temporarily grant a legacy to someone else, even if they are not a Garde.
