He is promptly recaptured by the Koloss who want to make him their leader and a Koloss. He discovers that his girlfriend [[Elizandra Dramali]] is Koloss blooded. He does not want to become a Koloss, so he says that he already is one and will prove it by getting the Survivor's treasure from the bottom of a spear-shaped pool. He dives down, finds a chest, and brings it back up. It contains a number of Koloss spikes. The Koloss are so excited to have new spikes to increase their numbers, Jak and Elizandra manage to escape, and Jak realizes that the chest itself is made of precious [[aluminum]]. |

This story is inspired by an idea of [[Brandon Sanderson|Brandon's]] brother Jordan, who wanted to do a radio drama, scripted by Brandon. The character Jak is meant to be in contrast to the more genuine, serious character of [[Waxillium Ladrian|Wax]], like the Adam West [[Wikipedia:Batman (TV series)|Batman]] versus the current Batman. Unlike [[The Eleventh Metal]], this story is meant for established readers of the [[Mistborn series]], revealing how Koloss are made in the post-[[Catacendre]] era. |
