{{quote|Now go to sleep in chasms deep with darkness all around you<br />
Though rock and dread may be your bed, so sleep my baby dear.<br />
Now comes the storm, but you'll be warm, the wind will rock your basket.<br />
The crystals fine will glow sublime, so sleep my baby dear.<br />
And with a song, it won't be long, you'll sleep my baby dear.<br />

Adolin cuts a hole in the stone, revealing sunlight. They look outside and find the gathered armies on the plateau, but it has relocated to the mountain range that also houses Urithiru.
 
Szeth screams at Kaladin as red spren zip around in the tempest. Szeth realizes that Dalinar and the armies went to Urithiru, and flies off toward the west, chased by Kal. Kaladin chases with difficulty and they both reach the stormfront and break through it, and Kaladin stabs Szeth in his foot. Kaladin manages to smash Szeth in his shoulder as they fight just ahead of the highstorm. As they fight, Szeth finally acknowledges the truth and says that he was right all along and never Truthless, and that he could have stopped murdering at any time. Szeth stops fighting, and Kaladin goesis forabout to make a killing strike, but instead slices his wrist, sending the Honorblade tumbling down. Syl urges Kaladin to grab the sword, and Kaladin dives after it as Szeth falls to the ground, no longer lashed and pummeled by the storm.{{bws ref|three-stories-in-new-formats|Three Stories in New Formats|date=Mar 6th, 2015}}{{ref|text=In the original release of ''Words of Radiance'', Kaladin severed Szeth's spine with his Shardblade, killing Szeth. Brandon decided to change this in subsequent releases.}} Kaladin stays hovering surrounded by windspren, and Syl says she may keep Kaladin around. Syl demands compliments and a smile.
