Kaladin follows Szeth into the storm as Syl warns Kaladin that the Stormfather hates him, and that although the winds are Kaladin's, the storms are the stormfather's. She warns him that a worse storm brews as well. Kaladin and Szeth both draw more stormlight from the storm. Szeth reaches the plateau before Kaladin but it is empty. Szeth screams at Kaladin as red spren zip around in the tempest. Szeth realizes that the armies went to Urithiru, and flies off toward the west, chased by Kal. Kaladin chases with difficulty and they both reach the stormfront and break through it, and Kaladin stabs Szeth in his foot. Kaladin manages to smash and stab Szeth further as they fight just ahead of the highstorm. As they fight, Szeth finally acknowledges the truth and says that he was right all along and never Truthless, and that he could have stopped murdering at any time. Szeth feints and Kaladin responds by stabbing the Shin through the chest, and grabs the shardblade at Syl's order from Szeth's falling corpse. Kaladin stays hovering surrounded by windspren, and Syl says she may keep Kaladin around. Syl demands compliments and a smile, which Kaladin gives.

===Return to Hearthstone===
After a long flight, Kaladin returns to a ruined Hearthstone. After finding a breach in the parhman quarters, he deduces that they escaped and destroyed the town. {{Book ref|sa3|5}} He is then approached by a soldier, who escorts him to Roshone's manor, where the civilians were hiding. Kaladin immediately runs to find the wounded, because he knows that is where his father will be if he is still alive. Kaladin is reunited with his parents, and apologizes for letting Tien die, for which he is forgiven. Roshone comes to look into the issue of Kaladin's slavery, and Kaladin promptly punches him across the face. Kaladin learns that the Voidbringers did not destroy Hearthstone, but instead fled, Kaladin then reveals himself as a Shardbearer, relays a message to Dalinar and Navani regarding his situation, and acquires infused spheres. Before leaving, Hesina introduces Kaladin to his new baby brother, [[Oroden]], and Kaladin reveals himself as a Radiant before departing to hunt the Voidbringers.
 
== Attributes and Abilities ==
=== Surgebinding ===
Kaladin has the ability to manipulate the Surges of Adhesion and Gravitation through his Nahel bond with the honorspren Sylphrena.{{book ref|sa1|57}} By breathing in Stormlight, he gains superhuman strength, speed, agility, durability, stamina, and healing, as long as he has access to Stormlight.{{book ref|sa1|62}} While his honorspren is present with him, his movements are enhanced by her, which Kaladin describes as "being guided by the wind." This gives Kaladin a superior natural fighting talent, although it does not replace skill by itself.{{book ref|sa2|52}} After Kaladin swore the third Ideal of the Windrunners, Sylphrena gained the ability to become a Shardblade. Unlike the dead Blades left after the Recreance, Kaladin can summon her in the form of any weapon he chooses, as well as a shield, and transform herit from one to another almost instantaneously.{{book ref|sa2|86}}
