;Plot Summary
'''Kaladin'''
Kaladin remembers back to when he was hiding in the underbrush with some other runaway slaves. They were safe for the moment, but the hunters were closing in, so they had to move. As they begin to walk, Nalma is caught in a steel trap and screams with pain. The hunters are alerted and they kill the scattering slaves. Kaladin stays with Nalma and vainly tries to treat her wounds. She dies, and the hunters arrive, sparing Kaladin so he can spread the word to other slaves that escaping is futile.
Kaladin uses his experience in scouting to sneak up on the lighthouse. He settles down to watch it for a bit, and anticipationspren crawl up from the beads and start waving their tongues like banners. Kaladin tries to kick them away, but they won't budge, so he merely continues forward. He peaks through a window and sees an old Shin man, reading by spherelight. He somehow senses Kaladin and calls out. Kaladin is forced to reveal himself.
'''Shallan'''
Shallan waits with the others behind a strange large mushroom. She tries to do some sketches, but Veil is seeping into her psyche, ruining her technique. Adolin gives her a shoulder rub and complains about having only one set of clothes to wear. Shallan is concerned about Kaladin, but Adolin says he'll be fine as long as he has an objective. A flying spren approaches; it looks like a gloryspren, but it's been corrupted.
'''Kaladin'''
The Shin man thinks that Kaladin is there for his fortune to be read, revealing a glowing crystal ball. Kaladin tells him he just wants passage with his friends. He's mesmerized by the strange light coming from the globe and reaches out and touches it. He is carried away by the approaching highstorm.
'''Shallan'''
The corrupted spren lands on Shallan's arm, and she hears the voice of Sja-anat. She warns her that Odium has minions on this side that will hunt them. She lied to him and said that they were far away from the transfer point, but she fears that Odium doesn't trust her anymore. The spren flies off.
'''Kaladin'''
Kaladin sees swirling colors and racing clouds. He sees a vision of Dalinar in grave danger, surrounded by nine figures. Kaladin asks where he is, and he sees a vision of a city by the ocean. The vision fades. The fortune teller is amazed that he saw something and figures out that he is a Surgebinder.
Adolin and Shallan bargain with Riino for rations. They get some canned food and dig in. A ship will be coming soon that will take them to Celebrant, a city near the location of Rathalas in the Physical Realm. Kaladin asks Shallan for paper, and he draws the city he had seen in the vision. They all agree that's it's Thaylen City. Kaladin wants to go to the Oathgate there and somehow use it to get there. Azure says the only way back is through the perpendicularity. A ship arrives.
