== The Well of Ascension ==
 
 
Vin pulls apart Alendi's logbook, looking for references to the [[Preservation|mist spirit]] and the [[Deepness]]. She realises that the mist spirit watching her was the same one that followed Alendi around. However, Alendi's logbook gives little information regarding the creature, and Thethe Deepness.
 
Elend stands atop the city's walls, looking down at the invading armies 'digging in'. He is met by Clubs on the wall, where they discuss Elend's ability to lead. Clubs was sent by Tindwyl to tell Elend to meet her.

Breeze and Clubs wonder how a bunch of thieves ended up leading a doomed army as the koloss break down the Zinc Gate and enter the city.
 
Sazed learns of the breach at the Zinc Gate but feels that the defenses will hold there, and requests that a new noble be sent to his __cpLocationlocation since he thinks that the defenses here are unreliable. The leader, Captain [[Bedes]], asks Sazed for advice and Sazed responds for him to act like he is in charge. Sazed sees a group of skaa and tells them to return to their homes but they refuse, saying they are there to see the koloss be defeated by Vin. He informs them that Vin was gone, but the skaa remain, stating that they will watch Sazed, who they call the Holy First Witness. The koloss break through the gate, and Sazed stays to fight, tapping his pewtermind and slays a giant koloss with one punch, and leads the soldiers into battle.
 
Vin, running low on pewter, reaches a village hours outside of Luthadel. She gathers up horseshoes to create an impromptu Mistborn spikeway and resumes her trek after telling the villagers to flee to Terris due to the siege on Luthadel.

;Plot Summary
As Elend and Spook travel to Luthadel, Elend encounters the mist spirit. It points north and apparently tries to mentally push Elend, but then vanishes when Spook shows up. They encounter a group of Terris refugees, who were fleeing from Tathingdwen toward Luthadel because a group of Steel Inquisitors appeared there and attacked the Synod, killing them. Elend and Spook decide to accompany the Terrismen on their journey, and Elend states that he believes that Vin has prevailed somehow in Luthadel.

The mist spirit urges Vin to pick up the metal bead then leads her back to Elend, and she realizes that she must feed the metal to Elend. She gives him one of her metal vials to wash the bead down with, and watches in shock as Elend burns pewter and returns to full health.

;Plot Summary
Sazed arrives at the Conventical of Seran, and compares his rubbing to the metal plate and sees that the two don't match. The metal plate states that "Alendi must not reach the Well of Ascension for he must not be allowed to release the thing that is imprisoned there". Sazed reads the final section on the plate, which references prophecies that are altered by a malevolent force to cause
Alendi to release the power of the Well, leading to disaster, and Kwaan's contingency plan of Rashek killing Alendi to prevent this from happening. Sazed loses all faith upon reading these words.
