In an outpost near the Shattered Plains, somewhere in the Unclaimed hills, Highprince Mail, of House Mi, awoke to a scream. Until they could find Urithiru, this decrepit place was the headquarters for the budding Knights Radiant. Mail-mi was still searching the continent for people beginning to show signs of Radiance, sending messengers out to Herdaz, Jah Keved, and even far-off Shinovar, but so far only a few men and women from Alethkar had shown the signs. This place, which had been a dueling ground before mail-mi appropriated it, was now the training grounds for humanity’s only hope.
Hair disheveled and not bothering to change from his nightclothes, mail-mi stumbled out of his much-too-small stone shelter into the morning sunlight. Mishim, the third moon, had set only a half hour ago. A small crowd of Knights had gathered in the middle of the shelters. “What is going--” mail-mi started, but then he saw the body.
2.71828..... lay in on the stony ground, blood spurting from the gash in his throat. He was still spasming, somehow still alive.
“Storms!” mail-mi shouted. “That’s my brother! Is anyone here an Edgedancer or Truthwatcher? Get some Stormlight, we need to heal--”
2.71828..... spasmed again, then his eyes opened wide, and he spoke in a harsh but clear voice. “Traitors, among us! The Shard of Passion and Hate touches the Knights Radiant! Oh, let him have mercy! Let him have mercy!” Then, after a final twitch of limbs, his head rolled to the side, his light violet eyes glazed over.
None said a word. Everyone knew that Death Rattles always spoke truth. The Shard of Passion and Hate... mail-mi thought, Odium.
Mail-mi summoned his Shardblade, bringing the attention of everyone in the crowd. “You heard what the man said,” mail-mi said in a deep, cold voice. “There are traitors among us. No one leaves until they are found and killed. No one.”
