{{icon|iron|m|50px|center}}
[[Kelsier]] stands before the [[Lord Ruler]] after his defeat of the [[Inquisitor]] and burns the [[Malatium|Eleventh Metal]]. He sees a vision of the Lord Ruler's past as Rashek but can't figure out how to use the information. The Lord Ruler slaps him, and he flares the Eleventh Metal. He see a vision of Rashek taking the power at the [[Well of Ascension]] and changing the world. He dies. It turns out to be a painful experience. In this new Realm, things in the [[Physical Realm]] appear misty, except for metal, which shines. [[Leras]] arrives and Kelsier punches him. Despite his being a god, Leras appears to be weak and unstable. Other people, victims of the Lord Ruler's purge, arrive in the Realm with Kelsier and are almost immediately pulled away to the Beyond. [[Allomancer|Allomancers]] take longer to leave. Leras explains that Kelsier saw into the Spiritual Realm when he flared the Eleventh Metal and saw Rashek's [[Connection]] and past. Kelsier tricks

Kelsier leaves his prison and goes to find his friends in [[Luthadel]]. He finds them at Keep Venture having a funeral. He wants to stop Ruin, but Preservation appears and tells him that is impossible because Ruin is entropy, a universal constant. Kelsier mentions the plan that Preservation can't remember now and offers to help. He learns that [[Dockson|Dox]] and [[Clubs]] were killed in the [[Koloss]] battle. Kelsier is angry at Preservation for his apathy and bitterness and grabs him. As he does, he sees into Preservation's depths and feels his pain and love for his people, so he winds up hugging him in sympathy. Kelsier also sees some [[Southern

Kelsier follows a tendril of Preservation, out of the city, and to lake Luthadel. The lake rises like an island above the mists and feels more solid. There are even strangely substantial plants emitting mist on the stony surface. He continues on and Preservation's tendril goes away. He happens upon a campfire with two people. Having no weapon, he decides to just walk in on them, and they both recognize him and wonder how he's there. They introduce themselves as [[Khriss]] and [[Nazh]].

Kelsier asks Preservation about the [[Ire]]. They are from another land, who have died, but have not. They have built a city "in a place between worlds." Preservation gazes into Kelsier's eyes, giving him a vision of godhood and the future. He senses that his Connection to Ruin is much stronger than that to Preservation. In no possible future does he defeat Ruin, but he does sense some chance of Vin winning if he goes west. Preservation insists that the Ire won't help, but Kelsier doesn't plan on asking.
== Part 4: Journey ==
{{anchor|Part_4_Chapter_1}}
=== Chapter 1 ===
Kelsier finally reaches the ocean after traveling for weeks. He's collected several things along the way. Objects with a strong Identity persist better in the cognitive realm. He calls out for Preservation, but there's still no response. Instead, [[Ati]] shows up and starts monologuing on how the world's doom is inevitable and natural. He tells him that the end is very near and that he can't do any good out here, which leads Kelsier to conclude that the opposite is true. Kelsier continues on, and Ruin taunts him, trying to break his will.
== Part 5: Ire ==
{{anchor|Part_5_Chapter_1}}
=== Chapter 1 ===
Kelsier decides that stealing the orb from the vault would be too risky and difficult, so he merely waits until they come out with it. After about a week, the Ire and some guards leave the fortress on horseback. Kelsier stalks them. Every night they stop and make camp, drinking something that restores the glow to their skin. Kelsier spooks Alonoe by pretending to be Ruin. He continues to terrorize them as they press on, convinced that since "Ruin" can only threaten them, he can't stop them. He causes full out panic when he slices the leg of a horse with Nazh's knife and creates a Ruin puppet from a flaming cloak. Alonoe gets separated from the main group, and he fakes her death by wearing a robe from the fortress and "melting" into the ground, causing the main group to head home. He knocks out the guard with Alonoe and whispers from the shadows to leave the orb. She's terrified and complies. He orders her to walk back to the castle.

Kelsier watches the world be destroyed and then reborn. During the process, he is able to see all three Realms, but when it's over, he is once again trapped in the Cognitive Realm. Sazed arrives and says that he cannot bring "them" back (presumably Vin and Elend) because he cannot reach into the Beyond. Kelsier asks Sazed to heal Spook and make him a [[Allomancy|Mistborn]]. He asks if there is a way to return to the physical realm, but Sazed says there is not. Kelsier decides that [[Harmony]] is a terrible liar.
