Just when the entire upper echelon of the High Elves was in a state of extreme commotion due to the "return of the Silver Whelpling Saphistouin" and the "resurrection of an ennobled general" affair, David and his companions, who should have been caught by the Elven messengers long ago, hadn't been disturbed by anyone on their journey and had fallen into an eerie silence.
This was because when the news first broke that a Silver Whelpling had been found by shipwrecked Elf crew members, His Majesty Elf King Ailiando immediately gave his personal approval for the message to be urgently delivered to all the named Silver Dragon clans.
As a result, the Silver Dragons, who should have cared most deeply for their offspring, all uniformly returned a similar message: No such dragon, and no young dragons have gone missing or run away recently.
