Difference between revisions of "Summary:The Hero of Ages"

Spook is alive but unconscious, badly burned and slowly recovering in a hospital, as Sazed watches on. He gave pewter to Spook but this does not speed up his healing. Beldre is there also and she speaks of how Spook got her brother to act as he did in the past, and that he will survive and that he is a hero to the city. Sazed leaves them to review the last ten religions in his portfolio, and ends up spending a day reviewing and rejecting them all. Sazed ponders on all the commonalities of the religions, and how they all shared inconsistencies and logical fallacies. He opens the journal that he and Tindwyl compiled their notes about all they could find on the Hero of Ages, and finds Mare's drawing of a flower tucked within. Sazed feels betrayed because his rational belief in the absence of god blocks him from having faith. He listens to TenSoon and Breeze converse and prays silently for something to have faith in. TenSoon says goodbye to Breeze and says for him to give his regards to the Announcer, and this terminology sparks something in Sazed. Sazed rushes out to ask TenSoon to repeat his phrase and he complies. Sazed checks his notes which were changed by Ruin to call Sazed the Holy First Witness. Sazed asks how TenSoon knows the correct title. TenSoon counters by saying why no one wonders what happened to Rashek's fellow packmen. Breeze says that the Lord Ruler turned them into nobles but Sazed disputes this since they would have been both allomancers and feruchemists, something that the Lord Ruler was working to avoid happen. TenSoon reveals that the packmen were changed into mistwraiths, then kandra, and that they form the First Generation. Sazed realizes that his religion lives on, and gets ready to set out to find the kandra. TenSoon offers to lead him there, so that Sazed can convince the kandra that the end is here.▼
