;Plot summary
Kaladin is in a nightmare, in a landscape dark and storming. He sees three figures attack him, and he takes the spear from one of them and kills them - and then realizes that Tien was one of them. He drops the spear, turns, and finds himself on the Shattered Plains, his friends fighting and killing each other. His dying friends speak to him and tell him that this is all his fault, and Moash appears, telling him that Kaladin is the reason for their suffering. He wakes in the tower, exhausted. He searches for Syl, and she arrives letting them know that the guards have seemed to have given up the search. He asks her if she knows anything about the light that led them there, and she tells him about what she knows about the Sibling, that she was the spren of one of the Bondsmiths. He infuses the gemstone that opens the door, and they leave to find supplies.
