→Ruin's Escape: Really weird use of a quote and almost narrative storytelling. Still needs major reworks to make it less narrative and more informative, and to change tense to past tense, as a lot is present.

The [[Steel Inquisitor]]s, Ruin's primary servants, could not free him from the Well of Ascension, as they were touched by Hemalurgy.{{epigraph ref|mb3|49}} Thanks to her enhanced [[bronze]] from [[Vin's earring|her Hemalurgic spike]], Vin could sense the power returning to the Well,{{epigraph ref|mb3|74}} and Ruin again manipulated the Terris Prophecies into making someone look like the Hero of Ages, this time Vin.{{book ref|mb2|57}}
After Elend returned to Luthadel, Vin came to a realization. She was finally able to pinpoint the Well's location through its pulses. It was located underneath Kredik Shaw, with its entrance in the Lord Ruler's sanctuary. As she and Elend went to the Well to give up the power as the prophecies said, Sazed was visited by the remainder of Leras's mind in the form of the mist spirit. It made him understand that Vin should not give the power of the Well up, and then Sazed went to try to stop her. When Sazed arrives at Kredik Shaw, he is ambushed by Marsh who was being controlled by Ruin, who would have done whatever it took so that Vin would give up the power. Marsh and Sazed fought and along with Ham's help, Sazed beat Marsh. However, they were too late to stop Vin. She and Elend had reached the Chamber of Ascension when the mist spirit appeared and slashed Elend in the gut, dealing him a mortal wound in an attempt to get Vin to use the power to save him. Vin tearfully takes up the power, and hears a voice whispering to her, telling her to give it the power, so it can save the world. Believing that she had done the right thing, Vin gave it the power, and
Vin realized that she had somehow made the wrong choice, the voice, Ruin's voice, was an evil thing and she had inadvertently released it. Vin went to the dying Elend's side, and the mist spirit showed her a bead of metal, Lerasium, in the chamber, and made her understand that Elend should swallow it. She washed the bead down his throat with a vial of her metals, and Elend became a full Mistborn, and was able to burn pewter, making his wound survivable.{{book ref|mb2|epilogue}}
