Several days later, during the next highstorm, Dalinar had the Stormfather bring Fen into a vision with him. He chose the [[Dalinar's visions#Starfalls|Starfalls vision]] so she could see the Knights Radiant first-hand in their former glory. He had the Stormfather insert Fen into the story in the place of [[Heb]], whose role Dalinar had played in his first run through of the vision, and he took the place of the female Knight who came to help the villagers. Dalinar entered the vision flying through the air having been Lashed there by his Windrunner companion. Before they reached the village Dalinar tried to question the other Knight about the nature of Shardplate, but was unsuccessful. When he reached the ground he and retraced his footsteps heand found Fen in the center of the village leading an organized resistance against the [[Midnight Essence]]. She recognized Dalinar and the Stormfather slowed the vision for them so they could talk.{{book At first she was skeptical that it was more than a dream but Dalinar told her how he came to realize that they were real and she seemed to accept what he said.ref|sa3|34}}
 
At first she was skeptical that it was more than a dream but Dalinar told her how he came to realize that they were real and she seemed to accept what he said. Dalinar told her that he had brought her into his vision because he wanted to talk to her in person and through letters and spanreeds. He praised her efforts at organizing the people of the village and asked her if she would turn her back on the rest of the world. She replied that her nation was suffering and that she had a hard time believing that the Almighty had chosen him, a tyrant and murderer, to lead the Knights Radiant.{{book ref|sa3|34}}

|Where was this passion earlier? Why didn't you speak like this in your letters to me? [...] That made it sound like I was talking to a committee. It’s what one always assumes anyway, when communicating via spanreed.

Dalinar breathed in Stormlight to show her that he was a Radiant and repeated his claim that he was commanded to unite. She retorted that that was the same claim tyrants like [[Sadees]] and the Ardents of the [[Hierocracy]] used to justify their actions. Dalinar began growing frustrated and started raising his voice and shouting at her. He said that maybe allowing him and his armies into her cities was a risk, but she had no other choice, and if she did not act soon and make a united stand against the Voidbringers their world would be doomed. To Dalinar's surprise Fen was not fazed by his outburst. To the contrary she seemed to like being yelled at. She said that over the previous several months she had been hearing rumors that he had gone mad and then when she heard that he had predicted that a new [[Everstorm|storm]] would come she concluded that the rumors must have been true. Dalinar asked her what she thought when the storm came and she told him that it proved he was up to something, but she was not sure what it was. Dalinar asked her if she thought he was working with the enemy. She said that the voice on the other end of the spanreed was not the Blackthorn she knew and so had been sure, but after their conversation she would reconsider. She asked Dalinar to let her finish the vision and the two of them parted ways. Afterwards the Stormfather did not think that Fen had been convinced but Dalinar thought that she would end up visiting Urithiru.{{book ref|sa3|34}}
