===Chapter 39===
{{icon|16|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|I know your argument. We speak of the Anticipation, of things foretold, of promises made by our greatest prophets of old. Of course the Hero of Ages will fit the prophecies. He will fit them perfectly. That's the idea.}}
===Chapter 40===
{{icon|17|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|And yet ... something about all this seemed so convenient. It felt almost as if we constructed a hero to fit our prophecies, rather than allowing one to arise naturally. This was the worry I had, the thing that should have given me pause when my brethren came to me, finally willing to believe.}}
===Chapter 41===
{{icon|18|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|After that, I began to see other problems.}}
===Chapter 42===
{{icon|19|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|Some of you may know of my fabled memory. It is true; I need not a Feruchemist's metalmind to memorize a sheet of words in an instant.}}
===Chapter 43===
{{icon|20|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|The others call me mad. As I have said, that may be true.}}
===Chapter 44===
{{icon|21|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|But must not even a madman rely on his own mind, his own experience, rather than that of others?}}
===Chapter 45===
{{icon|22|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|I know what I have memorized. I know what is now repeated by the other Worldbringers.}}
===Chapter 46===
{{icon|23|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|The two are not the same.}}
===Chapter 47===
{{icon|1|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|Alendi believes as they do.}}
===Chapter 48===
{{icon|2|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|He is a good man—despite it all, he is a good man. A sacrificing man. In truth, all of his actions—all of the deaths, destructions and pains he has caused—have hurt him deeply. All of these things were, in truth, a kind of sacrifice for him.}}
{{anchor|Part 5}}
===Chapter 49===
{{icon|3|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|He is accustomed to giving up his own will before the greater good, as he sees it.}}
===Chapter 50===
{{icon|4|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|I have no doubt that if Alendi reaches the Well of Ascension, he will take the power and then—in the name of the presumed greater good—give it up.}}
===Chapter 51===
{{icon|5|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|And so, I have made one final gamble.}}
===Chapter 52===
{{icon|6|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|My pleas, my teachings, my objections, and even my treasons were all ineffectual. Alendi has other counselors now, ones who will tell him what he wants to hear.}}
===Chapter 53===
{{icon|7|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|I have a young nephew, one Rashek. He hates all of Khlennium with the passion of an envious youth. He hates Alendi even more acutely—though the two have never met—for Rashek feels betrayed that one of our oppressors should have been chosen as the Hero of Ages.}}
===Chapter 54===
{{icon|8|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|Alendi will need guides through the Terris Mountains. I have charged Rashek with making certain that he and his trusted friends are chosen as those guides.}}
===Chapter 55===
{{icon|9|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|Rashek is to try and lead Alendi in the wrong direction, to discourage him, or otherwise foil his quest. Alendi doesn't know that he has been deceived, that we've all been deceived, and he will not listen to me now.}}
{{anchor|Part 6}}
===Chapter 56===
{{icon|10|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|If Rashek fails to lead Alendi astray, then I have instructed the lad to kill Alendi.}}
===Chapter 57===
{{icon|11|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|It is a distant hope. Alendi has survived assassins, wars, and catastrophes. And yet, I hope that in the frozen mountains of Terris, he may finally be exposed. I hope for a miracle.}}
===Chapter 58===
{{icon|12|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|Alendi must not reach the Well of Ascension....}}
===Chapter 59===
{{icon|13|mb2|70px|center|link=}}
{{epigraph|...for he must not be allowed to release the thing that is imprisoned there.}}
