“You should leave your window unlatched. I can’t get in if it’s locked. Elend got mad at me for breaking too many latches.”
“Sazed,” Vin said, “I don’t think the Deepness was the koloss.” “Oh?” “I think it was the mist.”
Oh wait yeah I knew that … were we not supposed to know that
So … maybe that means that the Hero of Ages will have to come again.”
Oh god who is gonna sacrifice themselves next book
“Do not dismiss someone’s beliefs because you do not understand them, mistress.”
“Prophecies do not have to be a scam, mistress,” OreSeur said. “Or even really a promise for the future. They can simply be an expression of hope.”
I spend most of my time watching people—tweaking, nudging, and Soothing. That’s changed me. I don’t … look at people the same way. It’s hard to simply be friends with someone when you see them as something to be influenced and changed.”
“Allrianne is an Allomancer,” Vin said. “Really?” Vin nodded. “She’s been Rioting Breeze’s emotions ever since she arrived, making him more attracted to her.”
Bruh
“Give me an excuse, Sazed,” she whispered. “I should … very much like it if you stayed,” Sazed said, one hand in hers, the other resting on the tabletop, fingers trembling slightly. Tindwyl raised an eyebrow. “Stay,” Sazed said. “Please.”
😭😭😭😭
“I can’t rely on her to protect me all the time,” Elend said. “Let’s go.”
Stop being mean to your girlfriend bitch
THE END OF PART THREE
:(
“Straff,” Penrod said, nodding. “Ferson.” “Your men did well,” Penrod said. “I’m glad your son didn’t have to die. He’s a good lad. A bad king, but an earnest man.”
BRO
“Elend…” she said, laying a hand on his arm. And he flinched.
Oh :(
His Contract … OreSeur had attacked a human. He had broken his Contract. For her.
Rashek—the man who became the Lord Ruler—was Kwaan’s nephew.”
“Kwaan sent Rashek to mislead, or even kill, his once-friend Alendi the Conqueror—a man climbing the mountains of Terris to seek the Well of Ascension.”
How could she love a man like me? he thought. I couldn’t even hold my throne. I wrote the very laws that deposed me.
God I hate miscommunication plots
“Inquisitor, my lord,” the man said quietly. “I saw one in the city.”
What the fuck happened to Marsh
Elend turned to Ham. “I have a question for you, Ham.” Ham raised an eyebrow. “How insane are you feeling at the moment?”
Elend ripped an obsidian knife—given to him by Vin—from his boot and caught Jastes by the shoulder. Elend slammed the whimpering man around, pushing him backward onto the desk and—barely thinking to consider his actions—rammed the knife into his old friend’s shoulder.
Fuck yeah Elend
“You believe it, don’t you?” she asked. “You believe that this girl is the Hero of Ages.”
“What does the missing sentence say?” “‘Alendi must not reach the Well of Ascension, for he must not be allowed to take the power for himself.’”
“Tell me, how do you feel when you are with young Lord Venture?” “I want him to hold me,” Vin said quietly, turning to the side, looking out the window. “I want him to talk to me, even if I don’t understand what he’s saying. Anything to keep him there with me. I want to be better because of him.”
The two are not the same.
THE TWO OF WHAT
“And we die for nothing,” Ham said with a scowl. “No,” Sazed said. “Not nothing, Lord Hammond. We will die to show that there are skaa who will not be bullied, who will not back down. This is a very important precedent, I think. In the histories and legends, this is the kind of event that inspires. If the skaa are ever to take rule of themselves, there will need to be sacrifices they can look to for motivation. Sacrifices like that of the Survivor himself.” The men sat in silence. “Breeze,” Ham said, “I could use a little more confidence right now.” “Of course,” Breeze said, carefully Soothing

He didn’t like the way cloaks rubbed against the small point of the spike that stuck out of his back between his shoulder blades. The head was against his sternum, and couldn’t be seen beneath clothing.
HUH
“Kandra,” Zane said. “Come to me.” OreSeur met her eyes, and she saw something within them. Shame. He glanced away, then padded across the floor, mist up to his knees, as he joined Zane in the center of the room. “No…” Vin whispered. “OreSeur—” “You will no longer obey her commands, TenSoon,” Zane said.
WHHHHAAAAAAAT
“You know why I thought you’d save me?” he tried to whisper to her, though he knew that his lips weren’t properly forming the words. “The voice. You were the first person I ever met that it didn’t tell me to kill. The only person.” “Of course I didn’t tell you to kill her,” God said. Zane felt his life seeping away. “You know the really funny thing, Zane?” God said. “The most amusing part of all this? You’re not insane. “You never were.”
Hey man what’s going on
She stumbled over to TenSoon, kneeling beside him. “Mistress,” he said. “I’m sorry.…”
“Perhaps it is better that way,” TenSoon said. “Please, leave me. I have the other dog’s bones in the closet. When you return, I will be gone.”
:(
“Elend?” she interrupted. “I love you.” He froze. “Do you love me?” she asked. This is insane. “Yes,” he said quietly.
“You’re sure the other crewmembers will be safe in the city?”
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
As long as Allrianne didn’t get too far away from the others, she would be safe.
😬😬
“These are my friends,” he said. “I will not leave them.”
And there, in the middle of the mists, was the spirit. Standing directly above Elend.
If she lost him, she would lose herself.
If something happens to either of them I will kill myself
“Forgive me,” Jastes said. Elend looked the man in the eyes. “I forgive you,” he said quietly. Then, in one fluid stroke, he drew his sword and sheared Jastes’s head from his shoulders. “But my kingdom cannot.”
Omg … that was hot
“Be strong,” he whispered. “Fear, uncertainty—I take these away. Death may come through those doors, but you can fight it. You can win. Be strong…”
She saw images of death in her mind. Ham, Breeze, Dockson, Clubs, and dear, dear Sazed. The first real friends she had ever known.
Breeze stared, dumbfounded, at the pieces of his friend’s corpse.
😭
Breeze did the only thing that seemed natural. He crawled inside a building and hid.
YOU BETTER SURVIVE
So, Breeze thought, it turns out that I’m a coward.
“Lord Dockson?” The man shook his head. “We found a few wounded scribes hiding outside the keep. They saw him die. The koloss are still in the building, breaking windows, rooting about.…”
:(
He found her body sometime near morning.
Oh :(
My life, he thought, has been a sham.
So history is just repeating itself
What remained of the former king slid to the ground with the equine corpse.
Fucking finally
He knew that Vin thought she was the Hero. But Tindwyl was right: it was too much of a coincidence. And he wasn’t even certain what he believed anymore. If anything.
He’s literally the Terris dude that wrote the journal that is trying to stop the hero of the ages Alendi bc he doesn’t think it’s him anymore LIKE WHAT IS GOING ON DID THIS ALREADY HAPPEN IS IT REPEATING IS IT FROM THE FUTURE IS ELEND GONNA GET STABBED BY THE MIST LIKE THE OTHER DUDE
“No,” Vin said sharply. “Not to me—to the rightful heir of House Venture. He is your lord now.” Janarle nodded slowly. “Very well,” he said. “Whatever you wish. I swear loyalty to Straff’s son, Elend Venture.” The separate groups stood in the cold. Sazed turned as Vin did, looking at Penrod. Vin pointed at the ground. Penrod quietly dismounted, then bowed himself to the ground. “I swear as well,” he said. “I give my loyalty to Elend Venture.” Vin turned to Lord Cett. “You expect this of me?” the bearded man said, amused. “Yes,” Vin said quietly. “And if I refuse?” Cett asked. “Then I’ll kill

go OFF !!!!!!
He left ruin in his wake, but it was forgotten, Sazed thought, turning to watch her fly. He created kingdoms, and then destroyed them as he made the world anew. We had the wrong gender all along.
“The king! The king has returned!” Vin leaped out the window.
“I wish I understood why I have to kill you,” he said, then lifted a hand. An Allomantic Push slammed into the metal bracers on Sazed’s arms, throwing him backward, crashing him into the hard stone wall. “I’m sorry,” Marsh whispered.
Woah man what
