Difference between revisions of "Summary:The Way of Kings"

Shallan continues her study of Gavilar's meetings with the Parshendi before his death. She notices a discrepancy about Gavilar's uncharacteristic scholarly interest in the Parshendi. She plans to leave for Jah Keved the next day to take the stolen Soulcaster to her family. Under the pretense of looking for another book, she researches a little of her own about the Voidbringers, knowing that it's Jasnah's true research interest. After studying for a couple of hours, Kabsal finds her. After a theological discussion about the Voidbringers, she tells him of her plans to leave. He requests a likeness of him from her, and after paying her for it, asks for another one with himself and her in the picture. As she's drawing, sheShe draws two creatures in the background, with symbols for a head. Frightened, she runs to her room while being pursued by the creatures, which continue to show up in her sketches as she runs through the halls. Trapped in her room, she begins to summon her Shardblade and one of the creatures asks her what she is. While touching a glass goblet filled with diamond spheres, her response of "I'm terrified" transports her to [[Shadesmar]] where she Soulcasts the goblet to blood. Back in her room, Jasnah calls to her from outside her door. Terrified that she will discover her soulcasting, she cuts herself to explain the presence of the blood.
