With the timely arrival of MeLaan, Wax fought his way out of the mansion and escaped with Steris, who he found waiting for him behind a shrub outside. Taking her close, Wax steel-pushed their way straight up into the sky and through the evening mists, which gave way to the breathtaking view of [[The Ascendant’s Field]], where they shared a quiet moment of mutual respect and kissed above the clouds.{{book ref|mb6|16}}
 
Staying ahead of the local authorities and following up on their only lead from the party, Wax rode a stagecoach toward the construction site in the north east. Along the way, he helped Marasi field test the cube device she had taken from the train robbers, which they took to calling an [[Allomantic Grenadegrenade]] as it seemed to somehow extend the area of effect of its user’s Allomancy. At the construction site, Wax, Wayne, MeLaan, and Marasi successfully infiltrated the perimeter, discovering that a large, nondescript building was actually a facade, covering up Edwarn’s real effort in New Seran, the construction of what appeared to be a huge, wooden warship.{{book ref|mb6|17}}
 
Splitting from Marasi and MeLaan, who went in search of ReLuur's stolen spike, Wax and Wayne entered the warship, determined to locate Edwarn himself. Using a spyglass borrowed from MeLaan, Wax immediately changed their plan when he located the chamber where Telsin was being held. Easily bypassing the workmen and engineers blocking his path, Wax quietly entered the room dead set on saving his sister. Finally reunited, Wax was surprised when Telsin immediately took brutal retribution on one of her captors. The years had really changed herhe, just as, he supposed, they had changed him.{{book ref|mb6|18}}. Fighting their way out, accompanied by a generous helping of speed bubble assistance from Wayne, Wax joined in a grand escape after [[Allik]], a masked man that Marasi had rescued, revealed the existence of a second, smaller ship which could detach from the main vessel and lift into the sky.{{book ref|mb6|20}}
 
Briefly stopping their ship to pick up Steris, Wax and Marasi pored over a notebook that she stole from Edwarn's warship, which seemed to show the location of a second work site, south of their position. This corroborated Telsin's claims that Edwarn had been obsessively working to find a great weapon in the south that promised to give the Set the ability to dominate the whole of the [[Basin]]. Telsin warned Wax that their uncle had set off to retrieve the weapon not long ago; there wasn't much time. Marasi's notebook also included a map showing a temple marked for excavation in the peaks of the southern mountains, which reignited the palpable fear that the Set could be dangerously close to obtaining the fabled Bands of Mourning, just as VenDell had warned back in Elendel.{{book ref|mb6|21}}
