===
Around a year later, Renarin and Glys accompanied the army belonging to the [[coalition of monarchs]] as they marched on Odium's forces in [[Emul]]. Dalinar sought out Renarin one evening at the Bridge Four cookfire, and they discussed a recent vision of Glys and Renarin's. Glys expressed to Renarin that he didn't think their visions were necessarily from Odium, though he admitted Odium's desires might be tainting what they saw. He was also worried by the lack of communication from Sja-anat, and he thought she was somewhere close by.{{book ref|sa4|54}}
▲Glys has the ability to hide himself, even from people who would normally be able to see invisible spren (such as [[Rock]]).
Glys, having captured the vision as it had come to them, excitedly replayed it so Renarin could describe it to Dalinar. He made sure Renarin mentioned the blackness that showed in the stained glass so Dalinar would know that his proximity to the two of them was a protection from Odium's own future sight.{{book ref|sa4|54}}
▲=== Nahel bond ===
▲Even as a corrupt Truthwatcher spren, Glys is able to grant Renarin access to the Surges of [[Progression]] and [[Illumination]]. It is unknown how many Ideals Renarin has spoken, but their bond has progressed to the point where he is able to summon Glys as a Shardblade.{{book ref|sa3|10}}
Glys was optimistic regarding their ability to deal with the ingrained fear people had towards those who could see the future, though Renarin was less so. He also prompted Renarin to mention to Dalinar that there were other spren touched by Sja-anat that wished to bond humans, and noted that they needed more pairs like the two of them, as they existed outside of the favor of either men or singers.{{book ref|sa4|54}} Glys asked Renarin if he knew of anyone who would be worthy, so Renarin asked Sja-anat to consider [[Rlain]]; the Unmade sent [[Tumi]] to evaluate him, and they eventually bonded.{{book ref|sa4|54}}{{book ref|sa4|111}}
▲=== Other abilities ===
▲Due to Sja-Anat’s influence, the bond with Glys also gives Renarin the ability to see visions of the future (which is typically of Odium). These visions are often but not always accurate, and appear as sequences of stained glass panels on the walls or floors, sometimes with numbers or words beneath them. Neither Glys nor Renarin are able to control when these visions strike.{{book ref|sa3|117}}{{book ref|sa3|120}}
