→Prologue: To Kill
|
The prologue begins 4500 years later with [[Szeth]], a [[Truthless]] [[Shin]] assassin, waiting quietly in a large room, watching the [[Alethi]] celebrate the signing of a peace treaty with the [[Parshendi]]. He leaves the room, noting that his Parshendi masters will soon withdraw. Szeth wears white under the orders of the Parshendi to follow their traditions so that King [[Gavilar]] could see him coming.
When he reaches the area just outside the King's quarters, Szeth uses his abilities as a [[Surgebinder]] to fight his way past the guards. As he reaches the king's quarters, he is confronted by a [[Shardbearer]] as the King flees.
Szeth fights his way past the Shardbearer, but soon realizes that the Shardbearer, not the man he is chasing, is King Gavilar. He returns and fights him, eventually defeating him by causing the balcony he is standing on to collapse and kill [[Gavilar]]. Szeth is nearly killed in the fight. When Szeth tells Gavilar the Parshendi sent him, Gavilar is confused and says, "The Parshendi? That makes no sense."
Gavilar then gives Szeth a [[strange black sphere]] and tells him, “You must take this. They must not get it.” He then instructs Szeth to tell Gavilar's brother [[Dalinar]] that he must “find the most important words a man can say.”
Because as a Shin, Szeth considers a dying wish to be sacred, he leaves a note for Dalinar written in Gavilar's blood. He takes the sphere and flees.▼
