Kaladin and the Spear
“When the time comes, I hope you’re ready. Because this lot will need you.”
He seized the spear, the first real weapon he had held since his display in the chasm so many weeks ago. Then he started to run. Slowly at first. Picking up speed. Reckless, his body exhausted. But he did not stop. He pushed forward, hard, charging toward the bridge. It was only halfway across the chasm.

[…] Rock cried out as Kaladin ran onto the bridge as it was moving. The wood wobbled beneath him. It was out over the chasm, but hadn’t reached the other side”

“Kaladin screamed, reaching the end of the bridge. Finding a tiny surge of strength somewhere he raised his spear and threw himself off the end of the wooden platform, launching into the air above the cavernous void. […] Parshendi looked up with amazement as the lone bridgeman sailed through the air towards them.

Kaladin breathed in […] And the storm came to life again. […] A trickle of Stormlight closed the wounds on his arm. He smiled, spear held before him. It was as familiar as the body of a lover long lost. […]

“I will protect those who cannot protect themselves,” he whispered.

The action and story in here are awesome! The cavern is also well done, the bones and bodies definitely give them impression that nobody wants to fall down there Regarding the landscape, I would prefer the colours to be a bit simpler just so there can be more attention drawn to the guys up top.

I did have a hard time with getting the coloring balance and focus right. I'll have to revisit this again when I have some time. I may even add on to it since next to this scene there is an army of blue soldiers desperately fighting against more of the enemy with this bridge crew as their only hope of escape.

I've read "Way of the Kings," very nice representation of such a vital scene. Great posing for Kaladin, and I like that you included the one armed bridgeman (can't remember his name now)
