Chot is lost, thinking about Aramak, PeióLar, Door, and Dart, thinking that sometimes you have to kill. We see flashbacks. Suddenly, Chot sees a naked Kimo with his hand on Dart's bare shoulder, Yun, and what looks like Dodia but with longer pointed ears and a mermaid tail, all in the water. Chot is hungry, "Yum! Fish!" The next mirage is Shenshen holding fish up, singing a song, "Fish to eat!" Shenshen treats him like a child who's been bad. Then he is in Go Back country, with snow and cold. Kahvi and Zey ride up on reindeer, telling Chot he will make a fine blanket of fur for them to sleep on. Then he is in Sun Village with the volcano and Savah. He is shirtless. Savah tells him he was to make the way easier for those who would lead, not to let others seek or find blame to put on him. She calls him a Little Chiefmaker. He has a new leader to help. When Cam tells Kibo that Ahnessah probably sent followers after them, Kibo turns to look. Cam fakes that he and Kibo are singing and dancing then, to make it look as if Kibo was not looking for followers. Dart left Cam with memories and a momento. Cam finds his pouch is gone. In the pouch was a seed pod from the great tree where the elves lived but it told Cam much. It was that it was worth much to the elves. Cam always felt that if the humans messed up this world, the elves would be caretakers of it. An elf in the trees hears this. "Do I let myself believe you, hmmm?" Gillie climbs down the inner ladder to Pei Lar and gives her the seed pod. She sends the kids to listen for word of Ahnn Li and Cam. She sends Bren on a special trip, telling him that Ahnn Li doesn't recall his tantrums from day to the next. Koni asks Scrabble not to go off and do something sad like Boots did. Jethel notices Sylvie sad. She and Arro want to go see their mother. Koni would like to go too to see. Jethel sighs as a dog licks his chin. Jethel will watch Koni's friendsóóthe dogs. Just mother is in town, happier than she was before. Koni sniffs sitting crosslegged as the brother and sister talk to their mother's grave. Sylvie made a garden like mother taught her. They are out in the sun and fresh air, they tell her. The trio leave, feeling better and glad. They run into Bren. Koni puts his arm around Bren as Arro puts a finger to his own mouth.
Also includes an "Elflord" story.
