After the traumatic event, [[Lin Davar|Shallan's father]] took Pattern's Shardblade form from Shallan and stored it inside a strongbox. This was ineffectual, as Pattern vanished from the strongbox the moment it closed, but from that day onward the strongbox appeared to glow in Shallan's eyes. Nobody else could see the glow, but she could see it even after a painting was was placed over the strongbox to hide it.{{book ref|sa2|10}}{{book ref|sa2|27}}
The state of distress and shock caused by the incident with her mother led Shallan to resent Pattern and suppress her memories of him, causing their bond to weaken and Pattern to retreat mostly back into the [[Realmatic Theory#Cognitive Realm|Cognitive Realm]].{{wob ref| 5609}} After this, Shallan could no longer use Surgebinding,{{wob ref|5675}} though could still use her enhanced mnemonic abilities. Although many of her memories were repressed, she retained knowledge of having a Shardblade.

Shallan was woken by screams and the scent of smoke. When she went to see what had happened she accidentally drew the attention several assassins after she witnessed one of them stab Jasnah through the chest. When she tried to hide in her room, Pattern pushed her to summon him as a [[Shardblade]], however Shallan refused instead creating an illusion of herself with Pattern's help. Pattern followed the men as they gave chase to Shallan's illusion which escaped past them and moved onto the deck of the ship before jumping overboard. Above, he found the crew members of the ''Wind's Pleasure'', one of them dead and the rest tied up and at the mercy of the attackers. Pattern returned below, leaving the men he had been following to search the water where the illusion had disappeared and joined Shallan as she moved to Jasnah's room to check on her.{{book ref|sa2|7}}
They found no body within the room. In the distance, Shallan could hear the ships crew being executed and to buy them time asked Pattern for his help in
Pattern and Shallan survived the sinking ship, and Shallan was carried ashore by the [[Santhid]] she had seen several days prior. Unwilling to sit and freeze, Shallan moved down the coast to try and find shelter of some kind and Pattern wandered off ahead. Further up the coast, he found one of Jasnah's trunks, which had been washed ashore. Excited, Pattern raced back to Shallan to get her attention before he brought her to where he had found the trunk.{{book ref|sa2|11}}
Within the trunk, Shallan found not only Jasnah's books and research but a number of infused sphere's, one of which she tried to use to
Her attempt at building a fire a failure, Shallan decided to walk inland, Pattern at her feet and eventually the pair stumbled upon the campsite of [[Tvlakv]] and his fellow slavers, where Shallan, exhausted, collapsed. The next morning, Shallan insisted that the slavers help her get to the Shattered Plains, while Pattern watched on silently from his place unseen on the side of the slavers wagon. Tvlakv reluctantly agreed and after fetching Jasnah's trunk, Pattern and Shallan began their journey north.{{book ref|sa2|11}}

Several days later,
Their efforts were unsuccessful and it soon became apparent that the caravan was being followed. As they passed into a more frequently travelled part of the [[Frostlands]], a second smoke signal was spotted in front of the party, which Tvlakv, reluctantly, began to head towards at Shallan's insistence. Decision made, Shallan chose to travel in her quasi-carriage so she could speak with Pattern, who had once again

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
When Vathah and his men reached the tent, they found Shallan, Patternblade in hand, who instructed them to search Tyn's belongings.{{book ref|sa2|34}}{{book ref|sa2|36}}
