Kaladin spent the next eight months under at least six different slavemasters, suffering from constant and squalid conditions. Initially, Kaladin was defiant, making ten escape attempts. Although several of them were successful, he always ended up getting re-captured. In his tenth escape attempt, he led a group of twenty armed slaved, including a man named [[Goshel]]. However, they all died, leading Kaladin to believe he failed them. By the eighth month, Kaladin fell into despair and stopped making any escape attempts.{{book ref|sa1|2}}{{book ref|sa1|43}}
 
Though he should have been killed for his tenth escape attempt, Kaladin’s master found him “intriguing,” and branded his forehead with the ''shash'' [[glyph]], meaning dangerous“dangerous”, and sold him. Eventually, Kaladin was bought by [[Tvlakv]] and it was during this time that Kaladin hit his lowest point. He found and hid away some poisonous [[blackbane]] leaves, unsure of whether or not he wanted to use them to commit suicide, kill his slavesmaster, or for something else. Regardless, he took comfort in having options open to him. However, when a fellow slave takes ill, Kaladin’s instinct to protect and heal re-emerged and Kaladin attempted to save his life. His attempt fails as Tvlakv had the slave killed in order to avoid the infection spreading.{{book ref|twok|2}}{{book ref|sa1|4}}
 
It was during this time that Kaladin first noticed [[Syl]]. Although Kaladin noticed that Syl had been following him for several months, he believed she was nothing more than the average, albeit mischievous [[windspren]]. For the most part, Syl acted much like a normal windspren, though Kaladin noted some oddities about her, such as the exceptionally long period of time that she had been following him. Just before Kaladin was sold to Sadeas, Syl began talking to him and called him by name, an unprecedented occurrence. Although spren can mimic voice, Kaladin didn’t believe them to have intelligence or memory. Kaladin thought he was insane at first, but he eventually started to converse with Syl.{{book ref|sa1|2}}{{book ref|sa1|4}}
