=== The Wind's Pleasure ===
==== Transition to the Physical Realm ====
Upon Shallan speaking her Truths, Pattern bonded her and transitioned from the Cognitive Realm to the Physical, losing much of his mind in the process. Several days after Shallan and Jasnah had set sail from Kharbranth, Shallan saw Pattern's Physical form while she sketched on the deck of the ship. Seeing a pattern rising like an embossment from the page of her sketchpad, Shallan did not initially understand that she was interacting with the Cryptic, thinking instead that she had done something herself or that the pattern had appeared as a side affecteffect of drawing the Cognitive Realm. Pattern moved, disappearing from the drawing when Shallan touched the page, and caused the young woman to jump in fright. A while later he was seen once more by Shallan as she spoke with Jasnah, this time floating on a wave. Again he vanished, seen only for a brief moment.{{book ref|sa2|1}}

As they neared the Shattered Plains, the group happened across a miniature [[lait]] filled with plants, protected from the storms by a rocky windbreak. Pattern accompanied Shallan as she explored the spot of greenery, occupying himself with counting leaves while she sketched. Later that night, the highstorm came again, however, unlike the last storm, which had caused Pattern agitation, this one caused him fear. There was something wrong about the storm and despite Shallan's attempts, Pattern would not stay quiet, frightening the slaves who sheltered with them.{{book ref|sa2|30}}{{book ref|sa2|32}}
 
Eventually, the storm passed and Shallan met with [[Tyn]] to learn what she could of her homeland. Within the message sent by Tyn's associates, relayed via a communication station in [[Tashikk]], was information about the attack on Jasnah and the ''Wind's Pleasure''. Tyn, who had been hired by the [[Ghostblood]]s to assassinate the Alethi princess, attacked Shallan when she learned of her identity, with the intention to kill her. Pattern attempted to intervene, impersonating Jasnah to try and distract Tyn while Shallan escaped.{{book ref|sa2|34}}
 
When it became apparent that Tyn would not allow Shallan to get away, Pattern hastened to find Vathah to bring him and his men to Shallan's aid. The men did not understand that it had been Pattern speaking to them, though Shallan later confirmed his existence, however they still obeyed, attacking Tyn's soldiers who blocked their way. Pattern was pulled back to the tent when Shallan summoned him as a Shardblade, killing Tyn.{{book ref|sa2|34}}
