A/N I DON"T OWN THE WAY OF KINGS.

FATHER, MOTHER-

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE BEEN TOLD.

Please, please say you have.

TIEN WAS KILLED FOUR YEARS AGO

I watched it happen. Stormfather, I was there, he died right in front of me, and I couldn't- I was too slow I'm sorry ,I'm sorry father.... WHEN MY ENLISTMENT ENDS NEXT MONTH, I'M GOING TO SIGN UP AGAIN-I enjoy it here, in a way. I know you don't approve of the wars father, but I'm doing well. I'm a squad leader, one with influence in the war camp, with the dark-eyes any way. The men call me Kaladin Stormblessed. I think Tien would have liked the name...

I DON'T INTEND TO RETURN HOME.

How can I come back and face you without Tien? Even if I did- what would be the point? I don't think the Surgeon's Son would get on well with the Stormblessed Squad leader. And I'd probably end up killing Roshone. Did I mention that I imagine everyone I kill represents him?

I'M SORRY.

I really am. But this is for the best.

KALADIN

This name is probably the only part of me you'd still recognise.

I love you both.
