Ruin and Preservation, having intents that opposed each other so perfectly,{{qa ref|691|9|Because they're such perfect opposites|date=May 2010}} found themselves in conflict with the other. If Ruin tried to destroy, Preservation would stop him, and vice versa.{{cite}} At some point they both ended up on [[Scadrial]], but they could not act much without the other.{{citeepigraph ref|mb3|53}}

They came up with a deal: they would work together to create life, with the condition that Ruin would eventually get to destroy them.{{citeepigraph ref|mb3|54}} But Preservation wanted to create life that they had seen before--humanity{{book ref|mb3|76}}--and creating sapient life required more energy. Ruin was not willing to put in that extra energy, so Preservation did. This lead to Preservation being slightly weaker than Ruin. Because of this, Preservation knew that Ruin would inevitably triumph and destroy what they created.{{epigraph ref|mb3|54}}

Preservation attacked Ruin with his mental power--the distinct mind controlling the Shard's power, rather than the power itself. This would trap Ruin's mind, making him mostly impotent.{{epigraph ref|mb3|55}} However, it cost almost all of Preservation's mind. Preservation knew that the moment he did this attack, he would not be able to help life on Scadrial. Preservation saw the future, creating the [[Terris Prophecies]], to give hope to humanity, and to let humanity know that he had a plan in mind.{{annotation ref|mb3|chapter=81}} He also altered [[Allomancy]] so that there would be [[atium]] (and [[malatium]]) Mistings,{{citeqa ref|428|82| So he took out the most unlikely (difficult to make and use) metals for his sign to his followers|date=July 2009}}{{17s ref|post|89033|They were designed and created specifically to do what they did|date=Jan 23, 2014}} and set up his power--the mists--to Snap those Allomancers.{{epigraph ref|mb3|81}} And with that, Preservation gave up his mind, imprisoning Ruin in the newly created [[Well of Ascension]].
