{{anchor|Chapter 49}}
Eshonai and the humans try to find ways to communicate with each other, and as they do so, they realize all the ways that they differ: humans are in all forms at all times; they have singers in dullform that she finds "fascinating and disturbing". Eshonai found the humans so much more advanced than the singers and spends as much time possible learning from them. The humans ask to see the plains, and Eshonai escorts them. During the trip, one of the humans, a surgeon's assistant with many rings on her right hand, asks Eshonai questions about the spren that she can see and whether any have talked to her, which Eshonai thinks is a myth. Gavilar and Eshonai talk about the greatshells, and they misinterpret her and assume that the singers worship them. The party decides to take a break, and as she was helping them set up a tent, the woman with the rings asked if she could see Venli's knife. She and Gavilar talk about it and think it must have come from a time around the false desolation. They are interrupted by the sounds of a chasm fiend emerging, and soon after, the group leaves. Venli reveals to Gavilar that the knife was found in the ruins of the city at the center of the Shattered Plains, and Gavilar gets very excited, especially when he realizes that the singers have stories of ancient days that include the Radiants. The humans leave them with a gift of weapons and asks only to be able to hear the singer songs the next time they meet.
