SilverFang lead her down the quietest path, making sure to point out the parts that she should avoid and the plants to avoid touching. When they were out of the forested area and near the village he sighed. There were people here that could help him. He watched as some of his people walked to the edge of the village to see them. He walked toward them, pulling Lerline along. "I have returned with the Book of Songs," he called out so that the elders could hear. He walked into the crowd that had formed, smiling triumphantly.<br/>"And who is this woman you bring with you," one of the elders called back.<br/>"She is a friend of mine and a friend to our people," he said. "She is actually partially one of us!" He smiled at her, throwing in this surprise. "Only one of our people can sing the songs from the book," he explained her her. "Since you sang the song it tells me that you are one half Singer, the other half must be Delvian. I had guessed it but I wasn't sure. When you had changed my suspicions were confirmed!" He smiled and kissed her cheek softly. "This is a good thing since you will now be accepted into our people as a Singer like the rest of us!"<br/>"Well then," said the leader of the village. "I guess this calls for your family honor back! You are no longer to be bannished from this village!" The leader of the village smiled as he stood before Silver and patted him on the shoulders. "Welcome home! And as for you, my dear." The leader of the village turned to her. "Welcome to your new home!" He smiled and kissed her hand politely. "It is an honor to have you here with us!"
