In the end, you decide to <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">keep the secret</span></span>.
While your life doesn't drastically improve, you're just so very relieved to be home. When the latest war ends, only about half the boys from your village come back. You heard that most of them died from infection and some disease spread by the ticks in Yellowhorn land- only a few even got to shoot at the Yellowhorns before they surrendered. The King of the Land has acquired another territory.
The knowledge of the Star People, and the fact you saw them, gives you hope. What the Star King promised, and what the King of the Land promises, are true. You never tell your parents about the Star People- but you will tell your children, when the time comes. You want them to hold onto the truth- and to know that even if you can't see something, and if in the end you can't count on anyone else but yourself, you were saved by a Star Person. Someone out there in the stars cares. <span class="mu-i">They are coming back</span>.
