By this
stage in the story, Daniel has broken free from his life at the forge to become an outlaw. The
lifestyle agrees with him, and he has no intention of going back to the village. Simon, however,
wants to persuade him otherwise. Amalek the blacksmith has died, so Daniel is free from this
bond. Simon thinks this crucial piece of information will be enough to convince Daniel to
return. He understands that, however glamorous and exciting the outlaw life may appear, it's
also highly dangerous; Daniel could end up being killed at any moment.
But
Daniel's not interested. For the first time, he feels he has a sense of purpose and direction in
his life. However, he meets Simon halfway in that he agrees to come back to the villagenot on a
permanent basis, but to visit his sister and grandmother.
