The Countdown

[darxbane]

Ruin and Preservation were once the same entity, until a piece of the World Crystal broke off and caused them to split.  Now, Vin must take Reen's obsidian and jam it back into the crystal, thereby restoring the world.  I bet this will show a generation gap.

Silly Gelfling, there is only one sun. Oh wait, that means the beginning of the prophecy has been met.

If that is what I think it is I have that book but I never got more than a few chapters in. ha ha.

I think I mentioned once something about how Elend COULD be more powerful than Vin because his Mistbornness is pure and Vin's is tainted.

Yeah, all those pictures are kind of boring

[GreenMonsta]

I would think that Elend becoming a mistborn will do a couple of things. One it will give him the strength and confidence to secure his empire. Two it will give Vin a whole lot more time to her self. I know they realized they really love eachother and now they are husband and wife, but she no longer needs to wait outside his window at night and act as his protector 24/7. She will be free to act on her own a lot more. this is not saying she doesn't act on her own already but protecting him wont be as strong a reason holding her back as we see in chapter one of HoA. think if hes there acting alone doing something like challenging a rouge army of kolos where is she and what crazy thing is she doing?

Red Koloss?  Are those the elite versions? 

To be honest, I think she's there, too, controlling the Koloss.  Of course, I would be surprised if Elend couldn't also control them.

Don't they turn red when their hitpoints are at a critical level?

[Miyabi]

Rogue**

ha ha.

Maybe when a Koloss' skin rips too much it sheds the old skin and gains a red exterior. :p  They're like snakes, 'cept better.

I thought the koloss bled... strangely. Like, not red. If so, then when the koloss skin rips too much, it wouldn't be red.

But I'm not sure on that one.

[GreenMonsta]

Right, So why would she be controlling the kolos. the only reason I would think this to be true would be to convince other territories to switch sides. This is a good way for Elend to gain followers. If Vin is controlling the Kolos to attack these cities and then Elend goes in and says "Hey listen to me and we can win but you have to swear to me" then they would almost be guaranteed more followers as they go. Just no one could find out.

Forgive the simple mind and spelling errors.

As I recall, it's red, but not normal human-blood color; brighter.  Some of the characters who observe this, though, think it might be an optical illusion in contrast to their blue skin.

I guess I should have put sarcasm tags around that statement. ha ha.

I find this a bit hard to believe. Why kill off more then capable fighter to gain the homage of simple village people? And knowing Elend, i'm almost positive he wouldn't result to such tactics to gain loyalty--as we learned from book 2.

Perhaps Vin has lost control of the Koloss. Perhaps the deepness broke through her hold of them and seized them himself.

[GreenMonsta]

Right that is what i thought. I only posted that in reasponse to the post saying that someone thought Vin was there.

I don't think Vin would be there controlling the Kolos for any reason at this time. I think these Kolos are rampant and Elend cant control them so he went to intercept and help. I think Vin could very possibly be doing the same thing somewhere else.

I agree, but reading that i pictured the two of them on the dinner table,

"how many did you kill today?"

"A few hundred. you?"

"Ehm. yeah, me too. Are you bleeding?"

"NOo! It's Koloss blood...what happened to your head?"

"ooh, this? Smashed a Koloss in the face."

"You really like that move huh?"

"Uhuh."
