Two months later, thirteen-year-old Kaladin attempted to treat a five-year-old girl named [[Miasal]] on his own. Miasal suffered multiple severe wounds. Kaladin started treating her, but it was too late as Miasal died from blood loss. An hour later, his father found Kaladin in front of the surgery room crying to himself. Lirin tells him that he is proud of Kaladin’s work and there was nothing he could have done to stop Miasal’s death. Kaladin tells Lirin that he did not want to be a surgeon, but Lirin answers that he would have to learn when to care.{{book ref|sa1|20}}
==== New Citylord ====
In the [[Weeping]] of {{Rosharan date|1168}}, as Kaladin’s family grew increasingly desperate, they were forced to spend some of the spheres. Roshone assembled the townsfolk in the town square. [[Meridas Amaram]], a general for [[Highprince]] [[Torol Sadeas|Sadeas]], arrived in Hearthstone to recruit soldiers for the army. There, Kaladin and his family are shocked to learn that Laral is now engaged to Roshone himself after Rillir’s death. Meanwhile. since only six men had volunteered, Amaram asked Roshone to announce the list of conscripts. As citylord, Roshone was barred from from placing Lirin or Kaladin on the conscription list because they served a vital function to the town. However, Roshone placed Tien’s name on the list instead. When Kaladin tries to take Tien’s place, he is denied because the law gave the choice to Roshone alone. Left with no other option, Kaladin enlisted in the army in order to protect Tien and promised his devastated parents that would bring Then back in four years. Amaram promised Lirin that he would make Then a messenger boy for a while.{{book ref|sa1|44}}
=== Amaram's Army (1168–1172) ===
==== Tien's Death ====
Kaladin received his initial training under [[Tukks]], where he learned the importance of controlled passion—to be passionate without losing control of his emotions—a lesson that he does not initially understand.{{book ref|sa1|27}}{{book ref|sa1|49}} During his training, Kaladin demonstrated his natural talent and learned the spear faster than everyone else in his cohort, barely even needing instruction.{{book ref|sa1|27}}
Despite Amaram’s promise to Lirin, the older messenger boys, including Then, are soon organized into several squads of reserve units to make up for a shortfall in recruitment. [[Dalar]] assured Kaladin that these squads would not see combat unless the army is in serious danger. Less than four months after his enlistment, Kaladin takes part in his third real battle. Amaram’s army was attempting to hold a hilltop, but as the battle deteriorated, messenger boys were assigned to [[Sheler]]'s company. Hearing that the messenger squad was sent to the front, Kaladin ran recklessly through the battlefield in an attempt to reach his brother. On the southeast side of the hill, Squadleader [[Varth]] placed Tien and two other boys in the front lines, successfully using them as bait. Kaladin, killing a man for the first time during his run, reached Tien only after he had been killed. Weeping and bleeding from wounds taken during his run, hugged Tien’s dead body until long past the end of the battle.{{book ref|sa1|67}}
