=== Chapter 26: Stillness ===
{{epigraph|I am being chased. Your friends of the Seventeenth Shard, I suspect. I believe they're still lost, following a false trail I left for them. They'll be happier that way. I doubt they have any inkling what to do with me should they actually catch me.}}
Brightness Litima reads ''[[The Way of Kings]]'' to [[Dalinar]]. [[Renarin]] is with him. Listening usually comforts Dalinar, but not this time. It reminds him of [[Adolin]]'s arguments. Dalinar thinks about the nature of his visions. It disturbs him. Dalinar tells Renarin that Highprince [[Aladar]] refused his offer of an alliance, just as [[Roion]] did. Horns sounds outside. Dalinar enters the war room and gives [[Teleb]] an order to march. Dalinar gives Teleb a permission to recruit and train a single bridge crew. [[Sadeas]] comes to interview Dalinar's solders. Dalinar and his army leaves, Sadeas and his attendants follows behind. Dalinar and Sadeas talks about the [[Thrill]]. Usually men dodn't speak about it.
Dalinar summons [[Oathbringer]] and together with Adolin they attack [[Parshendi]]. The Thrill gives him strength, focus and power until he feels a sudden stab of powerful revulsion. He forces himself fighting again but feels sick. Dalinar hears a voice saying ''Life beofre death'' but nobody is near enough. He starts to fight for his men.
Dalinar won the battle and Adolin takes the [[gemheart]]. Dalinar is looking eastward, toward the [[Origin]], when he notices a group of [[Parshendi]] on a nearby plateau. Among them is a large Parshendi wearing [[Shardplate]]. Dalinar wonders why the Shardbearer hadn't been here during the battle. The group flees toward their base at the center of the Plains.

{{epigraph|If anything I have said makes a glimmer of sense to you, I trust that you'll call them off. Or maybe you could astound me and ask them to do something productive for once.}}
