[[Leras]] died, having expended all his energy after his final conversation with Elend, leaving [[Preservation]] without a holder. It would have gone straight to [[Vin]], except for the fact that she was still wearing her [[Vin's earring|earring]], which was Hemalurgically charged, acting as a repulsive factor. Instead, it was absorbed by Kelsier.{{cite}}

During the battle with the [[Steel Inquisitors]], [[Marsh]] tore out Vin's earring due to Kelsier using all of his strength to push Marsh's will against Ruin, who at the time was distracted, leading to Preservation, and the mists, being absorbed by Vin. As Preservation, almost all her actions are prevented by [[Ruin]], held by [[Ati]]. As such, she has to watch as Elend dies in the [[Battle of Hathsin]]. Following that, she kills Ati, and herself in the process, leaving both Ruin and Preservation unheld.
