I would think there should be a scene where the Dark Troops encounter the combined B/PS tribes and try to 'seduce' them if you will, into accepting the offering of the Eye with promises of riches/greatness/favors/etc.
The B/PS tribal Elders should then confer - and of course reject the offer of the Priestess. Her sweet words will then escalate into threats, and I think it is at that time that the Eye should lead the Young to the Dark Troops.
In the meantime - the Young should go into hiding - they are holding the daughter of the leader of the PS. The PS and the B tribe who have now joined them will be hunting for the captive and will have no qualms about killing a few of the defected, convert children.
It would be an interesting scene if the Young came to offer their assistance to the Priestess - her troops would of course stop them, and thinking they are just raggedy little trouble makers from the backwards tribes would try to run them off or arrest them. Then the Priestess would hear of them and welcome them into the fold.
Just my opinion - Durelin may have other plans, of course!
