Difference between revisions of "Summary:The Well of Ascension"

Vin broods about her perceived failures and listens to a distant thumping which she realizes is the Well of Ascension being restored to power. OreSeur tells Vin that he doesn't like Terrismen since they are difficult to imitate, but has done so since they are always around powerful people. Vin notices the mists behaving oddly, staying indoors without vanishing for a long period of time. Zane appears and tries to get Vin to leave Luthadel with him. She almost does, but realizes that she values Elend's trust in her, and declines. Zane is angered and attacks Vin. Vin issues a command to OreSeur to give her the atium he was holding for her but he ignores her, and instead obeys Zane who is revealed to be his real master. Zane calls the kandra TenSoon. Vin realizes that TenSoon is the spy. As Zane and Vin fight, TenSoon cries out about how Vin knows about kandra, giving aid to Vin by reminding her of his weakness. She burns duralumin and brass, and is able to use soothing to control TenSoon. She takes the bead of atium from TenSoon though it only had a few seconds worth of atium, and it runs out quickly, as Zane intended. However, she uses Zane's dependance on atium to somehow feint him into revealing where she was going to attack, and diverts her dagger to where Zane didn't anticipate it, stabbing him in the neck and killing him.

 

 

Vin watches as Zane perishes, then tells TenSoon to take his body, since the wolfhound body is critically injured, but TenSoon declines, stating he can patch together this body and another wolfhound body that Vin provided. TenSoon says that his contract is void since Zane is dead and that he must return to the kandra homeland, and asks forgiveness from Vin for his betrayals. TenSoon says that he has betrayed his people by revealing how allomancers could control kandra, and says good bye. Vin goes to Elend.
