Dalinar's composure collapsed again, and he dashed away, desperate to be away from all of the people. He made his way to the city walls and reflected on his past as he walked along the fortification. He was interrupted by a Veden soldier who wanted to know why an Alethi man was spying on the city's walls. Dalinar felt the Thrill surge within himself, urging him to attack the man. He dashed away trying to escape from the Thrill, but it did not work. He tried sucking in Stormlight to push it away, but it only made it worse. As he made his way to the Oathgate, trying to slow his pace pace and keep his head up, he heard voices in his head telling him to give up responsibility for what he had done. He lost all composure and began charging through the city trying to get to the Oathgate and the escape it provided as fast as he could. When he arrived at the Oathgate he found Navani and a number of ardents, [[Curates]], members of the [[Holy Enclave]] in [[Valath]] wearing blue robes and holding ornate staves waiting for him. The ardents announced that they could no longer tolerate his claims that the [[Almighty]] had died, and they were proclaiming that he was to be excommunicated and considered anathema to all good Vorin people. As the ardent began outlining his heresies Dalinar felt the Thrill surge within him, urging him to kill the man standing before him. Dalinar fled, dashing for the control building before he could do the man any harm. Dalinar then, despite the Stormfather's protests, reached into the Spiritual Realm and forced something into the Oathgate, activating it without a Shardblade.{{book ref|sa3|100}}
Dalinar stumbled from the Oathgate in a daze, ignoring everyone around him.
After three days of drinking away his problems Dalinar experienced a strange dream. He woke up in a room that he recognized from one of his earlier visions but was not quite the same as he remembered it. He tried asking the Stormfather why he had brought him into the vision, as they had agreed that with Odium's intrusions the visions were too dangerous, but there was no response. He found [[Nohadon]] behind him sitting at a desk covered in piles of papers. Dalinar assumed that he was writing his magnum opus, [[The Way of Kings (in-world)|The Way of Kings]], but Nohadon corrected him and told him that he was simply writing a shopping list.
▲Dalinar stumbled from the Oathgate in a daze, ignoring everyone around him. He heard Evi's voice in his mind telling him to accept who he was and not try to escape it. He made his way to his room and picked up ''The Way of Kings'', but he could not read it and it could not help him. He dropped the book and, almost unconsciously, made his way to Adolin's room. He searched the room until he found the bottle of strong violet wine Adolin kept for special occasions. He realized that he was turning back to the way he was before he went to the Nightwatcher but he decided that it would be worth it if it meant he wouldn't start killing people again. He drank from the bottle and drifted away.{{book ref|sa3|100}}
