Difference between revisions of "Teft"

 

Teft tried to stay out of Moash's reach, prolonging the fight to think of options. Lift began moving toward the Radiants behind Moash's back in order to heal them, so Teft and Phendorana tried to keep Moash from noticing her. Unfortunately, when Moash killed one of the Radiants, Lift cried out and drew his attention; to keep him from killing the girl next, Teft invited him to really fight. Moash easily wounded Teft, sending him to the ground. As he swung his blade to kill him, though, Teft and Phendorana strained together and managed to manifest the spren as a "phantom spear shaft," stopping Moash's blow. Realizing they wouldn't be able to do that again, Teft prepared to lunge at Moash in order to eliminate the advantage of his sword's reach. Before he could move, however, Moash pulled out a [[raysium]] dagger embedded with an [[anti-Stormlight]] gem and stabbed Phendorana in the forehead with it. This permanently killed Phendorana, and Teft felt incapacitating agony as a part of his soul was ripped away. Moash hoisted Teft into the air, and Teft knew he was about to die; knowing that he would die as someone who was loved, Teft had a few final words for Moash before Moash killed him with his Honorblade.{{book ref|sa4|104}}

 

Moash dropped Teft's body in front of Kaladin as he made towards the Radiant infirmary.{{book ref|sa4|105}} On seeing his body, Kaladin was overwhelmed with such a sense of failure and grief that he became insensate; Teft's death was one of the catalysts in Kaladin's decision to jump from the top of Urithiru.{{book ref|sa4|106}} However, in Kaladin's vision of [[Tien]], Tien addressed Teft's death and helped Kaladin see that he had been discounting all of the times he had helped the man, instead focusing solely on failing to save him from dying. After that, Kaladin accepted that he wouldn't be able to protect everyone and was able to swear his [[Order of Windrunners#The Fourth Ideal|Fourth Ideal]].{{book ref|sa4|108}}

Rlain sang the Song of the Fallen over Teft's body, while Dabbid knelt next to him and grieved. He channeled Teft while speaking to the group of [[singers]] and humans in the atrium about leaving the tower, but realized he probably came across as too gruff.{{book ref|sa4|109}} Moash, having gone after Navani but having failed to kill her before she bonded the Sibling, felt pain over killing Teft as Navani and the Sibling's [[Towerlight]] pushed away his Connection to Odium.{{book ref|sa4|111}}
