===The Ascension of the Lord Ruler ===
However, Alendi had still failed to stop the Deepness, and there was only one hope, the [[Well of Ascension]].{{epigraph ref|mb2|50}} As the power returned to the Well, Alendi could hear the pulses because he was a Seeker. He hoped that giving up the power would stop the Deepness. Kwaan knew that Alendi mustn't be allowed to reach the Well, for he knew that giving up the power was just what Ruin wanted. Kwaan's only hope to stop Alendi was his nephew [[Rashek]], a Feruchemist who hated Alendi, and the nation of Khlennium from which he hailed. Kwaan commanded his nephew to become Alendi's pack man, and to attempt to mislead on his way to the Well. If Rashek failed at that, Kwaan asked him to kill Alendi.{{book ref|mb2|epilogue}} The last remnant of Leras' mind, in the form of the mist spirit, was also doing its best to stop Alendi. [[Ruin]], however, made Alendi distrust the spirit by impersonating it and stabbing Alendi's companion [[Fedik]] when he became too interested in [[Ruin's Perpendicularity]].{{book ref|mb2|16}}{{epigraph ref|mb1|33}}{{msh ref|2|2}} Ultimately, Rashek failed to lead Alendi astray and killed him. At that point, Rashek himself took the power at the Well of Ascension and refused to give it up, denying Ruin his chance at freedom.{{book ref|mb1|38}}
