Two years later, Kal and [[Laral]] were talking atop a low ridge of boulders to the east of [[Hearthstone]] while [[Tien]] gathered rocks at the base. Kal told her of his father’s plans to send him to [[Kharbranth]] to train to become a surgeon. Hurt, Laral asked why he didn’t tell her. He lied, saying he didn’t think his father was serious. Placing her hands on her hips, Laral wondered about his previous plans to be a soldier. His expression became gloomy as he was conflicted on which path to choose, surgeon or soldier. Sensing his distress, [[Tien]] ran up to Kal with a rock that he found, giving it to Kal to make him feel better. Kal did feel better and went with Tien to find a [[lurg]], pocketing the rock. Laral rejoined them, commenting that Tien changes Kal for the better. Once again, Laral asked Kal what he planned on doing if his father tried to send him to Kharbranth. Knowing they wouldn’t take him until he was sixteen, Kal told her that he had some time to decide. Laral said that it seemed like his father was forcing him to do what he wants, not what Kal wanted. She encouraged him to become a soldier instead, implying that he could marry her if he won a [[Shardblade]] in battle, thereby becoming a [[lighteyes]]. However, he missed the implication even though he was attracted to her and continued looking for lurgs with Tien.{{book ref|sa1|16}}
 
Later, they encountered a group of older boys, one of whom makes the claim his father won a Shardblade in the [[wastescum skirmishes]]. At Laral’s[[Laral]]’s prompting, Kal contradicted him, which led to the boy, [[Jost]], challenging Kal to a quarterstaff fight. Although it was his first time holding a weapon, his natural talent for combat manifested. However, seeing that he hurt Jost, he stops himself from fighting anymore. Jost, having no similar inhibition, beats Kal to the ground. Kal then asked Jost to teach him, but the older boy declined, telling Kal to “go be what you are.” Joined by [[Tien]], Kal made his way home while contemplating what he wants to be. Once home, [[Lirin]] informed Kal that Citylord [[Wistiow]] had died and bequeathed a goblet full of spheres to Kal so he could study in [[Kharbranth]].{{book ref|sa1|16}}▼
