The boy told the younger man what he had seen, and the man asked him to wait there. A soldier pushed the boy and the alchemist into a tent where the chief was holding a meeting with his staff. On the second day, the boy climbed to the top of a cliff near the camp.
When he was near death, the leader of the group talked to each other to leave the boy behind. Before they left, the leader told the boy that the leader also had a recurring dream. Three armed tribesmen approached and asked what the boy and the alchemist were doing there.

When he looked into her dark eyes, and saw that her lips lay between a laugh and silence, he learned the most important part of the language that the whole world spoke - the language that everyone on earth was able to speak in their heart to understand. She smiled, and it was definitely an omen—the sign he'd been waiting for all his life, not even knowing he was.
