Crossing the Perpendicularity, Syl returned to her semi-corporeal form and accompanied Kaladin as a weapon in the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]].{{book ref|sa3|120}} After the battle, the two discussed once more the righteousness of fighting [[singer]]s, who were only trying to regain their home; Kaladin decided that he would still fight for humanity's survival and reassured Syl that he would not kill her, or any other sapient spren, ever again.{{book ref|sa3|121}} Eventually, the two went to rescue [[Skar]] and [[Drehy]], two of Kaladin's squires who had managed to get Gavinor out of Kholinar.{{book ref|sa3|122}}

==== Evacuation of Hearthstone ====
The day before the embassy to the [[honorspren]] left, Syl went to speak with [[Adolin]]. She told him of her fears for their mission, warning him to be disappointed.{{book ref|sa4|22}} The next day, Adolin went to say goodbye to Kaladin before leaving. Syl showed up, telling Adolin that the position had been good for Kal. She gave Adolin some last minute tips on honorspren and their ideas of morality before he left.{{book ref|sa4|21}}
 
As Kaladin continued to work in the clinic, Syl would often watch. One day his [[Hawin|assistant]] led a [[Mil|patient]] in and left for the privy; after talking with [[Mil]] some, Kaladin asked [[Hawin]] to read him some information. As she was gone, Syl went over to the book and read the requested information instead. They discussed using their powers for things other than war, then went to the balcony for a break. When [[Leyten]] saw them and flew over to salute them, Syl became sad that the Windrunners were all going with the army to [[Azir]]. Later, she was excited to see [[Teft]] when he came to inform Kaladin that he was stepping down from active duty as well.{{book ref|sa4|23}} Kaladin took Teft with him to look for [[Noril]] while Syl was on her habitual morning flight. She went and looked at some [[axehound]] puppies of [[Aladar]]'s before catching up with them as they led Noril out of the [[Devotary of Mercy]]. She watched intensely as the three of them talked together.{{book ref|sa4|25}}
 
==== Invasion ====
Kaladin and Syl raced for the node, guided by the Sibling's light. The Pursuer immediately engaged Kaladin, and Syl used her new trick of imitating a Voidspren to distract him for a moment, giving Kaladin a chance to get free. They managed to trap the Pursuer in a room, then returned to the node and destroyed it.{{book ref|sa4|59}} After a night's rest, Kaladin was able to give Navani a report on the preceding day; he also reported to her Syl's findings from her studies of the spanreeds they had acquired. Syl determined that the spren inside were corrupted in a similar manner to [[Glys]], allowing them to operate with [[Voidlight]].{{book ref|sa4|61}} As Kal continued to have nightmares, Syl helped by trying to wake him. He tended to Teft after one such time, and she told him about asking Dalinar to help her understand his feelings. Dabbid came in and delivered Tomor's fabrial to them, and after a half hour Syl reminded Kaladin of his meeting with Navani. After the queen explained to him about placing the conjoined rubies, Syl accompanied him to the ninth floor to do so and then supervised as he practiced with the fabrial.{{book ref|sa4|63}}
 
During another of Kaladin's nightmares, Syl attempted to wake him to tell him that the enemy had found another node in the [[Breakaway]]. When he finally woke, she quickly apprised him of the situation. They caught up to Dabbid, who had taken Kal's spear with the intention of dealing with the problem himself, and rushed onwards. Syl warned Kaladin of the Pursuer's approach; as he fought with the Fused, she was able to help him by turning the dial on his fabrial for him. She scouted out the location of the node, noting its position in the well. Kaladin broke away from the fight at her signal, and she guided him into the water and to the sapphire. Though Raboniel was already there and managed to injure Kaladin, he successfully destroyed the node. Syl led him upwards again, but as she shot out of the well, the Pursuer maneuvered the lid into place and weighted it with his troops. Panicking and terrified, Syl realized that Kaladin was stuck below.{{book ref|sa4|70}} As Kaladin swam away, Syl likely lost her ability to stay manifested in the [[Physical Realm]] but stayed nearby out of instinct.{{book ref|sa4|91}} She entered a state similar to that after the death of [[Relador]], but when Kaladin called out to her the next time he went near the Breakaway, she heard him and broke through back to the Physical Realm.{{book ref|sa4|102}}
 
==== Restoration ofRecovering Urithiru or something like that ====
 
Kaladin explained to Syl that the enemy had found the Sibling's final node and were planning on executing the Radiants, so she accompanied him straight to the atrium.{{book ref|sa4|102}} Syl flew around the struggling pair as Kaladin and the Pursuer fought.{{book ref|sa4|103}} When they saw Teft's body, though, both Syl and Kaladin felt crushed by the loss. One of the Fused took off with Lirin, and the two of them followed to the top of the tower. Syl cried out to Kaladin that she had forgotten the words to the [[Order of Windrunners#The Fourth Ideal|Fourth Ideal]], but an unheeding Kaladin jumped from the roof.{{book ref|sa4|106}} As he fell, Syl continued to weep over forgetting the words.{{book ref|sa4|107}} Suddenly, however, Kaladin returned from his vision and reached out for her again.{{book ref|sa4|108}} Together, they flew downwards to save Lirin{{book ref|sa4|110}} and then returned to the fight in Urithiru.{{book ref|sa4|111}}

After the conflict, Kaladin used the Sylblade to transfer Rlain and [[Venli]]'s group of rebels to the Shattered Plains, where they met up with the Fused who had taken a stand against Odium's forces. Returning to the tower with Rlain, Kaladin, Syl, and the rest of Bridge Four gave Teft and Phendorana a funeral. The group retired to [[Jez's Duty]] afterwards, but Kaladin and Syl lingered at the statue and talked about missing Teft.{{book ref|sa4|114}} They joined the others at the winehouse for a few hours before going to find Dalinar to discuss their future. Syl encouraged Kaladin to ask Dalinar for permission to keep doing his work with those with mental illnesses. After granting it, Dalinar revealed to them their new time limit regarding the contest of champions. Alarmed to hear that they only had ten days, Kaladin and Syl agreed to travel to [[Shinovar]] to help [[Ishar]] recover from his madness enough to help Dalinar learn about his [[Bondsmith]] abilities. Dalinar gave Kaladin [[Hoid|Wit's]] [[trailman's flute|flute]] at the conclusion of the meeting and explained how Lift had found it. Intrigued, the two of them went to the merchant shop to sort through the bins of salvage. To his absolute astonishment, Kaladin found the carved horse that [[Tien]] had just given him in his vision. He explained disjointedly to Syl about the impossibility of it showing up there, and then gathered himself enough to go to the group session he had promised to attend.{{book ref|sa4|116}}
