Cyrus gained the Lost and Found from his mother, Amara, when he wasn't yet a genie. During his years of solitude inside the bottle, the compass was the one thing that he sought comfort in as it always pointed him in his mother's direction. Alas, this stopped several years ago, and now the compass only spins its needle in a continuous circle. Later, Cyrus trades the Lost and Found to the Caterpillar so he and Alice can "disappear". The Caterpillar accepts his form of payment and creates an invisible hideout in the Outlands for them. Discovering his mother is still alive, due to the magic water he once took to save her life, Cyrus steals back the compass in order to track her down.

Three Wishes

Alice, having opened Cyrus' genie bottle in Wonderland, is given the chance to make three wishes. However, Cyrus warns of the laws of magic that prevent him from granting certain wishes; resurrecting the dead, killing another person, changing the past or inducing love. Instead of making the wishes, Alice and Cyrus fall in love and decide they would rather be together. Since the wishes aren't used, she stores them in her shoe heel for safekeeping. After returning to Wonderland, Alice promises Knave a wish if he helps her find Cyrus. Knave agrees, and later tries to steal all three wishes, but backtracks. Jafar tricks Alice into making a wish when he attempts to murder Knave. However, she outsmarts him by wishing for her own death if Knave dies. The second wish is used to send her father, Edwin, home, after Jafar tries to kill him. When Knave is struck by Jafar's storm cloud, he ends up on the verge of death as Alice, too, begins succumbing as a consequence of her first wish. To save her life, Knave uses the final wish to take away Alice's suffering. Since her pain is physical due to dying and emotional due to being separated from Cyrus, both are alleviated. As a consequence of freeing Cyrus from his servitude as genie, Knave takes his place in the bottle. ("Down the Rabbit Hole", "Trust Me", "Home")
