→The Bands of Mourning
|
Wax unholstered Vindication and downed a new vial of metals as he returned to Ladrian mansion, later that day; the telltale clues of intrusion in his own home had quickly brought him to high alert. Discovering that this newest threat turned out to be nothing more than the same Kandra as before, seated in Wax’s own study, had done little to encourage him to lower his pistol.
The Kandra, [[VenDell]], of the sixth generation, had successfully ensnared Marasi and Wayne in his appeal for assistance, but Wax knew that VenDell had done so simply as another way to entangle him into the affair, while ignoring his earlier refusal. Pouncing on Wax’s curiosity, VenDell produced an [[evanoscope]], which he used to engage him in a presentation on the nature of [[Investiture]]
Wax’s patience wearing thin, VenDell explained that these evanotype images had been taken by another Kandra, [[ReLuur]], who was obsessed with the Bands and convinced they were Identity-less [[Metalminds]], which held the potential to grant anyone Metalborn powers to rival those of the [[Lord Ruler]]. Dismissing the idea outright, Wax was shocked to see another evanotype impressed with an image of his sister [[Telsin]], who was being dragged somewhere against her will. VenDell informed him that ReLuur had been accosted by the same thugs in [[New Seran]], where one of his spikes had been stolen. Convinced of the danger and worried for his sister, Wax agreed to help.{{book ref|mb6|3}}
