  1. Stormlight spoilers to the end of Oathbringer

    I spent way to long on this 

    Spoiler

    Alone.

    Dalinar held a fist to his chest.

    So alone.

    It hurt to breathe, to think. But something stirred inside his fist. He opened bleeding fingers.

    The most ... the most important ...

    Inside his fist, somehow found a golden sphere. A solitary gloryspren.

    The most important step a man can take. It's not the first one, is it?

    It's the next one. Always the next step, Dalinar.

    Trembling, bleeding, agonized, Dalinar forced air into his lungs and spoke a single ragged sentence.

    "You cannot have my pain."

    Odium stepped back. 'Dalinar? What is this?"

    "You cannot have my pain."

    "Dalinar-"

    Dalinar forced himself to his feet. "You. Cannot. Have. My. Pain."

    "Be sensible"

    "I killed those children," Dalinar said.

    "No, it-"

    'I burned the people of Rathalas."

    "I was there, influencing you-"

    "YOU CANNOT HAVE MY PAIN!" Dalinar bellowed, stepping towards Odium. The god frowned. His Fused companions shied back, and Amaram raised a hand before his eyes and squinted.

    Were those gloryspren spinning around Dalinar?

    "I did kill the people of Rathalas," Dalinar shouted. "You might have been there, but I made the choice. I decided!" He stilled. "I killed her. It hurts so much, but I did it. I accept that. You cannot have her. You cannot take her from me again."

    "Dalinar," Odium said. "What do you hope to gain, keeping this burden?"

    Dalinar sneered at the god. "If I pretend ... If I pretend I didn't do those things, it means that I can't have grown to become someone else."

    "A failure."

    Something stirred inside of Dalinar. A warmth that he had known once before. A warm calming light.

    Unite them.

    "Journey before destination'" Dalinar said. "It cannot be a journey if it doesn't have a beginning."

    A thunderclap sounded in hsi mind. Suddenly, awareness poured back into him. The Stormfather, distant, feeling frightened-but also surprised. 

    Dalinar?

    "I will take responsibility for what I have done," Dalinar whispered. "If I must fall, I will  rise each time a better man."

    Unite them!

    Gloryspren streamed around Dalinar. Thousands of golden spheres, more spren than he'd ever seen in one place. They swirled around him in a column of golden light.

    Beyond it, Odium stumbled back. 

    So small, Dalinar thought. Has he always looked that small?

    UNITE THEM!

    Dalinar thrust his left hand to the side, plunging it between realms, grabbing hold of the very fabric of existence. The world of minds, the realm of thought.

    He thrust his right hand to the other side, touching something vast, something that wasn't a place-it was all places in one. He'd seen this before, in the moment when Odium had let him glimpse the Spiritual Realm.

    Today, he held it in his hand.

    The Fused scrambled away, Amaram pushed down his faceplate, but that wasn't enough. He stumbled back, arm raised. Only one person remained in place. A young parshwoman, the one that Dalinar had visited in the visions.

    "What are you?" she whispered, as he stood with arms outstretched, holding to the lands of the mind and spirit.

    He closed his eyes, breathing out, listening to a sudden stillness. And within it a simple, quiet voice. A woman's voice, so familiar to him.

    I forgive you.

    Dalinar opened his eyes, and he knew what the parshwoamn saw in him. Swirling clouds, glowing light, thunder and lightning.

    "I am Unity."

    He slammed both hands together.

    And combined three realms into one.

    "No!" Odium screamed. He stepped forward. "No, we killed you. WE KILLED YOU!"

    Spoiler
    
    One.
    
    Dalinar held out his hand.
    
    Tasi la.
    
    The stomach hurts, when you think about it. But something related to her. He released his bleeding finger.
    
    More importantly ... most importantly ...
    
    But on the other hand he saw a golden ball at his feet. The loneliness of being single.
    
    The most important thing you can do. Not the first time, right?
    
    These are things. After the next step, Dalinar.
    
    Shaking, shaking, bleeding, pain, caused air in his lungs and said beautiful sentences.
    
    "I'm in no pain."
    
    Odium is up again. - Dalinar? What is this?"
    
    "I'm in no pain."
    
    "Dalinar-"
    
    Dalinar stood up. "Impossible. I got it. My pain."
    
    "Be careful"
    
    “I killed these kids,” Dalinar said.
    
    "There is no way,
    
    "I set the Rathalas on fire."
    
    "I was there and I impressed you--"
    
    "YES THE ONE!" Dalinar shouted and went up to Odium. Dia gossiped. His combined troops returned and Amaram raised his hands in front of him and released.
    
    These beautiful souls roaming Dalinar?
    
    “We killed the Rathalas,” Dalinar shouted. "Maybe you were there, but I made the choice. I made a choice!" It was quiet. "I killed him. He hurt so much, but I accepted it. I accept it. I can't. It can never be taken from me."
    
    "Dalinar," Odium said. "What do you think will be achieved by keeping this burden?"
    
    Dalinar laughed about the gods. "If I pretend I'm not doing these things, it means I can't be my other person."
    
    "Pau".
    
    Things are moving in the Valley. Feelings of love he already had. The fire was hot.
    
    Tie them.
    
    “There’s a trip here to go,” Dalinar said. "This can't be a journey without a start."
    
    There was thunder in His mind. Suddenly, consciousness returned. The storm was terrible but it was also great.
    
    Dalinar?
    
    “I take responsibility for what I did,” Dalinar said. "If I fall, I'll always become a better person."
    
    Connect them!
    
    Gloryspren is Dalina. Thousands of gold balls, more mirrors than you have ever seen in one place. He was surrounded by a golden light helicopter.
    
    Odium fell on him.
    
    It’s small, Dalinar thought. Does it work part time?
    
    REGISTER!
    
    Dalinar put his left hand on the side and threw it in the woods and caught it there. Split of mind, place of thought.
    
    He threw his right hand to the other side and touched something big, something out of place - they were all in the same place. He had already seen it when Odium allowed him to see the spiritual realm.
    
    He has it in his hand today.
    
    The fusion is slowing down, I know it’s pressed on top but it’s not enough. He leaned back in his limbs. There was only one man left at home. Dalinar was visited by a parish group during the exhibition.
    
    "What are you?" he stretched out his arms to stand up and stretched out his arms and adhered to the land of mind and spirit.
    
    She closed her eyes, nodded, and suddenly listened to the voice. This is a simple calm voice. The voice of the woman who knew him well.
    
    I'm sorry.
    
    Dalinar opened his eyes and realized what the parshwoamn inside had seen. Clouds, flames, thunder and lightning.
    
    - I'm one.
    
    He went with his hands.
    
    But he connected through a kingdom.
    
    "No!" Screams Odium. He continued. "No, we're killing it. We're killing it!"

    Why are you holding a grudge against me? 

    Oh yeah this exists

    Okay, but the only one with multiple personality disorder that we know of is Shallan, and it seems like Lightweaver powers might be more likely to cause multiple personality disorder.

    Spoiler

    Shallan's Dissociative Disorder is caused by her home life while her lightweaving exacerbated it, it is not caused by her lightweaving or her order, you could find members of other Knight Radiant orders with DID or other DID like disorders, But the lightweavers abilities caused Shallan's Dissocative Disorder to manifest in a specific way and worse than it could have. 

    Spoiler

    I don't know a ton about DID but I have done some research so take what I said with a grain of salt, I also might end up being wrong as well and I was sure that there was a WoB about this but I can't find it at all

    Spoiler

    This is also not the place for this conversation, sorry

     

     

    I got Edgedancer and Truthwatcher equal on my test so I guess I belong here
