Wait, we all assumed that the mist spirit was apart of the mist--its in the name. When people fell randomly, who did this? the mist alone? Or was it the mist spirit alone? none. it was both. This happened because the mist spirit is essentially apart of the mist. Your thoughts are different from you actions but they are apart of a whole.
It is wrong to say it now--since we can distinct the differences, however its seems rather strict and arrogant to argue that i should have known the difference before hand.
when i said mist spirit i meant the mist. i only refer ed to the mist spirit because it was the face of the entity. When Vin first merged with the mist was the mist spirit around? No. And yet that is the key reasons behind why i thought they would merge.
so when i say the mist spirit to refer to the mist--it should be overlooked because their was no indication of a separate role in them before hand. All that matters is that they are pieces of the same thing. One was the arm, the other the leg. yet both were apart of the whole.
Is it right to say preservation died? no, it isn't. It just lost its consciousness. Almost in a vegetative state. the body functions still.
Why i thought they would combine is a whole different matter. many people have come up with theories and most did not attempt to explain. Those how did usually we wrong. i was right that they would combine--but wrong on why...but was that really a part of the deal?
Take for instance Squire Chaos, he gloated the other day about guessing that Ruin would want the Atium Cache. And i applause the feat. However, he did not attempt to explain. Leaving his theory broad and open for interpretation. The more detailed you get the tighter the room is for what is correct.
So, trying to say that i am wrong because she combined for a different reason is true. But i am not wrong when it comes down to what we bet--which is what would happen--but wrong in why. And that is a topic and discusion of its own.

. Im cool as a cat on a window sill. Nothing for me t-t-t-o worry about.
). It's heartening to know that it is possible (and I don't think its something that I've come across a lot in the novels I've read)
