In this chapter, we learn that the mollin tribe's leader, King Zhai, has come to meet Silver, who is trying to understand the laws of the universe. The two of them discuss the rules of the game, and Silver explains that he needs to "resonate" with the "surrounding energy" in order to "understand the rules" . Silver says that he's never met anyone who thinks the rules are "easy" , and that he doesn't even know how to "sense and mimic" someone else's energy. Silver then tells Silver that he can help him take care of the little guy, and he promises to return the boy to Silver once Silver is gone tomorrow. Silver is excited to meet his new friend, but he also realizes that he has been awake for a while, and the champa has asked him a lot of questions. The champa also wants to know if Silver has had a nightmare, and if he has any questions for the old lady. Silver realizes that if he does have one, he will have to lead the tribe to freedom.
