(→‎Preparing for the Assassin in White: spelling, grammar, minor clarifications, added explanation for Szeth's reaction to Kaladin's surgebinding.)
Dalinar wants Kaladin and his men to learn how to ride horses, as they might be useful in the future. The groom thinks that it is absurd for darkeyes to learn horseback riding, but she teaches them anyways. Kaladin does not want to ride horses, but does as he is told. He at first rides an old, mellow horse, but [[Adolin]] comes by, and taunts him for not riding a fast horse. He then finds Dreamstorm, the most wild, violent horse in the stables, and attempts to ride it. As it bucks him wildly, he is forced to stick himself on with stormlight. He is whipped around, until finally he runs out and flies several feet in the air, and lands across the stable. It hurts badly, because he is out of Stormlight. Adolin is very impressed, and apologizes for taunting him.
 
Kaladin then has a dream where he speaks to the [[Stormfather]]. The stormfather says that heKaladin will soon betray and kill Syl. When he wakes up, Syl tells Kaladin that [[Odium|The One Who Hates]] is coming, and Kaladin goes to Elhokar's room. Dalinar and Adolin are there, and so is [[Szeth]]. Kaladin defends them successfully, but has an arm wounded by Szeth's shardblade. He grows it back with stormlight. Szeth is shocked and angry that the radiants[[Knights Radiant]] are returning when he sees Kaladin's surgebinding. (Their return somehow seems to exonerate him of whatever infraction resulted in his Truthless status, which destroys his ability to distance himself from the murders he was ordered to perform.) He then leaves Kaladin alone. Kaladin sees that he is barely able to fight a shardbearer, and takes Zahel up on his offer to train him.
 
Moash continues to be involved in the plot to kill Elhokar. Kaladin tells him to stopcease beinginvolvement involvedwith inthe these peopleconspiracy, but wishes that their arguments were less persuasive. Moash agrees to stop meeting with them.
 
Kaladin guards Adolin while he is meeting with Shallan. Adolin objects, but Kaladin refuses to leave him by himself. He meets Wit, who informs Kaladin that he is aware of his new surgebinding powers. Kaladin is shocked, and angry at Wit as he often is. Wit leaves when they are not looking, and convinces a bystander to take his place driving the wagon.
