Over a thousand years later, she was found and reawakened. The Stormfather, not willing to let her come to any more harm, tasked [[Notum]] with keeping her safe in one of honorspren cities.{{book ref|sa3|108}}{{book ref|sa3|110}} However, she wasn't happy with staying put. Sometime around the year 1170, she felt drawn to [[Kaladin]], a soldier in [[Amaram]]'s army, and the way he treated children as a squad leader. Against the wishes of other honorspren, she ran away to bond with him. This led to her kinsmen posting a huge bounty for bringing her back to their capital, [[Lasting Integrity]].{{book ref|sa3|102}}{{book ref|sa3|108}}

Reminded of how Kaladin felt hope when he found blackbane, and unaware of its purpose, Syl left to look for more of the plant. By the time she returned, Kaladin was on the verge of suicide, and she found him standing on the edge of the [[Honor Chasm]]. When she finally managed, with significant difficulty, to bring him the leaf, Kaladin was initially amused that she'd thought a poison would make him feel better. In the ensuing conversation, she managed to convince him to give life another try.{{book ref|sa1|11}}

Things came to a head during the [[Battle of the Tower]]. There, Syl manifested as a full-sized figure and remembered her true nature. She encouraged Kaladin to say the [[Immortal Words]] and accompanied him during the battle.{{book ref|sa1|67}} Afterwards, she pushed Kaladin further to trust Dalinar, leading to Bridge Four becoming the Kholin bodyguards.{{book ref|sa1|73}}

|Something dangerous is coming.

Even as Kaladin's mental state continued to deteriorate, Syl still insisted that Dalinar could be trusted and that Kaladin should open up to him, especially after learning about [[Moash]]'s plot to kill [[Elhokar]].{{book ref|sa2|41}}{{book ref|sa2|44}} Eventually, after a successful training in the chasms that saw Kaladin learn how to fly, and her sharing more information about Surgebinding, he was almost convinced, but his motivation evaporated when he saw that Dalinar made Amaram the head of the new Knights Radiant.{{book ref|sa2|52}}{{book ref|sa2|55}} Syl still managed to convince him that things would be different during [[Adolin]]'s four-on-one duel. Unfortunately, she was wrong, and when Kaladin asked to challenge Amaram as a boon he was arrested.{{book ref|sa2|57}}

During the battle for [[Kholinar Palace]], Syl accompanied Kaladin as a weapon. There, he managed to kill the voidspren toying with [[Gavinor]], which left her shaken by the impossibility of the deed.{{book ref|sa3|84}} Still, she continued to fight, although despite everyone's best efforts, she, along with Adolin, Kaladin, Shallan, [[Pattern]], and the Wall Guard commander, [[Azure]], ended up dropped into [[Shadesmar]] after trying to unlock the [[Oathgate]].{{book ref|sa3|87}}

|You'd better catch me before I scamper away! Wow! I’m feeling capricious today. I might just vanish again, off to where nobody can find me!

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}}

As the Windrunners approached the Shattered Plains, Syl informed Kaladin that [[Yunfah]] was in the area and wished to speak with him. Syl acted as an intermediary, as the wind from flying kept Kaladin from hearing anyone except her. Yunfah was angry that Kaladin kept wanting him to bond [[Rlain]], but Syl suggested that he keep pushing the spren. Kaladin gave him ten days to try to work with Rlain before he could look for someone else, and he reluctantly left. They landed at the new fort being built at Narak and spoke with Dalinar, to whom Syl apologized on behalf of her honorspren relatives. She remained silent, only looking on in concern as Dalinar relieved Kaladin of duty and confirming that he wasn't abandoning his oaths to think of serving the war effort in some other way.{{book ref|sa4|10}} When Kaladin and the Windrunners returned to Urithiru, Syl went after Adolin. She brought him to Kaladin's room, where Adolin badgered Kal into going out with him for the evening. As they left, Kaladin thanked Syl. They went to [[Jez's Duty]], where Syl flitted around the room and enjoyed looking at the people, riding on [[Jor]]'s shoulder for a while and only returning to the others briefly.{{book ref|sa4|12}}

 

 

After the official announcement of Kaladin's retirement, Syl went with Kaladin to the sparring grounds looking for [[Zahel]]. They tracked him to the edge of the plateau, where he was hanging up laundry. Zahel wanted Kaladin to fight him, so Syl became a sword with dulled edges. She helped him as best she could, but they still lost; afterwards, she flew around the area as Kaladin spoke with Zahel.{{book ref|sa4|15}} The day the ''Fourth Bridge'' arrived at the Shattered Plains, Kaladin and Syl went to meet it. They gave his parents a tour of the rooms they had spent the past week preparing for them, Syl enjoying Lirin and Hesina's banter. She excitedly showed them the different rooms and prompted Kaladin to tell Lirin that he had retired from active duty and hoped to help his father in his new clinic.{{book ref|sa4|18}}

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}}

 

 

A few days later, Syl flew into Jez's Duty just ahead of [[Rlain]]. She sat on Kaladin's shoulder while they talked about war, their search for [[Dabbid]], and Kaladin's new group therapy sessions. She was pleased when Kaladin admitted that his work with the others with mental illness was helping him and agreed to attend a group session himself.{{book ref|sa4|38}} As [[Raboniel]] and her strike team began corrupting the crystal pillar far away in the basement, Syl suddenly found herself separated from Kaladin. It took her the duration of Kaladin's climb up to Lirin's clinic until she found a way to pull herself back to Kaladin with his help. She could no longer become a Blade, and when she tried to go to Navani to report on the invasion, she could only go a little ways from Kaladin before she began losing herself. She brought him news that Navani knew about what was going on and was sending out messengers, but there were more and more enemy forces arriving all the time through the Oathgates.{{book ref|sa4|39}}

They went to look for supplies, Syl scouting ahead of Kaladin. As they hid from some singers, they discovered that the invading force were keeping up a pretense of normality outside the tower. They made their way to the sixth floor, where Syl went to check on Lirin and Hesina and reported to Kaladin that they looked fine. She talked Kaladin through using a [[Reverse Lashing]] to open lanterns from a store that they found, allowing him to recover the infused gemstone inside. They continued to the [[Devotary of Mercy]], where Kaladin gained [[Kuno]]'s promise of future help and supplies before returning to their hideout.{{book ref|sa4|49}}

 

 

As Kaladin took care of Teft with their new supplies, he finally convinced Syl to open up to him about the cause of her recent melancholy moods. She explained about remembering [[Relador]], and they discussed the best way to deal with feelings of sadness and depression. Syl practiced changing colors until they were startled by a noise at the door, which turned out to be [[Dabbid]]. Leaving him with Teft, Syl accompanied Kaladin as he went to investigate the Oathgates. She scouted for him as he climbed the outside of the tower, and when a group of scouts began packing up their supplies, she realized they must have had a functioning [[spanreed]] with them.{{book ref|sa4|55}} Knowing of Navani's desire to discover how the invading force had functioning [[fabrial]]s, Syl and Kaladin gave chase to the group. Having looked ahead, Syl brought Kaladin news of a spanreed hub and also pointed out to him that spren were more visible to everyone than usual because of the corruption in the tower. Deciding it was worth it to proceed despite the added danger of discovery, Kaladin came up with the idea of Syl pretending to be a Voidspren to fool the guards. She wrapped herself in red cloth and successfully distracted the guards while Kaladin snuck past. Approaching the spanreed room via a ventilation shaft, Kaladin snared some fabrials with a rope and relied on Syl to check that the hallway was clear before exiting the shaft. As Syl was preparing to distract the guards again in the guise of a Voidspren, however, the Sibling contacted Kaladin and asked for his help defending one of their nodes.{{book ref|sa4|58}}
