Kaladin inspects a stone and thinking of his reenlistment and how he will stay because he couldn’t face his parents because he couldn't protect [[Tien]], while the army of Highmarshal [[Amaram]] is preparing for a Battle. [[Gare]] arrives with with two of his sergeants. Wanting to know what Kaladin wants from him just before the battle. After a short thread and a bribe Gare transfers [[Cenn]] to Kaladin's Squad. When watching the other army Kaladin wanders about the conflicts why they were fighting other Alethi but when the Vaden or Reshi invaded they would stand next to each other. He walks by the surgeons to hand over another bribe so his men will recive quick aid on the battlefield, however a Windspren makes the pouch stick to his belt. After getting it of he tosses it to [[Ven]] the chief surgeon. After that he jogs to his Squad feeling apart because of his reputation and odd that people would accept so much of his behavior now. Intending to tell [[Dallet]] about the new recruit he finds that Cenn is already there. When seeing him he is reminded of Tien. After scanning the Battleground and conferring with Dallet, Kaladin's Squad charges forward at the horn call.
Kaladin's enlistment is almost up, but he has already decided to re-up because he can't face his parents for his failure to protect Tien. Kaladin bribes another [[Gare|squadleader]] to transfer a new recruit (Cenn) to his squad. Kaladin wonders why the Alethi fight amongst themselves so much when they also join together to fight against real foreign invaders. He walks by the surgeons to hand over another bribe so his men will receive quick aid on the battlefield. A windspren makes the pouch stick to his belt, making him stumble. He tosses it to [[Ven]], the chief surgeon. When he gets to his squad, Cenn is already there. He looks so much like Tien, Kaladin has to look away. After scanning the battleground and conferring with Dallet, Kaladin's squad charges forward at the horn call.
