Well, I guess it's the most appropriate topic to present this.
I was reading Darxbane saying he did not believe that the well's power was of Ruin. I myself would love to believe it. But things keep on jumping in my eyes and that bugs me quite a bit !
First, in re-reading again the fight between Sazed and Marsh I find this :
"Why did you come ?" Marsh whispered as Sazed struggled to his knees. "Everything was going so well." He watched with iron eyes as Sazed slowly crawled away.
Now that doesn't tell much of my thinking but it was then that I went backwards a bit. When Sazed arrives at the opening Vin made in the wall, Marsh is there just like keeping the entrance. Not just like, he is keeping the entrance and then, seeing Sazed he tells us he wish he would understand why he had to kill Sazed.
To me, wether the well's power is Ruin or Preservation (and to me preservation means life, and not static), I know it is evil. No, I am not bringing this into discussing good and evil, please.
The cavern continued to shake, dust and chips falling from the ceiling. And then, in a moment of surreal clarity, Vin heard a single, distinct sentence ringing in her mind.
I am FREE !
Sentence has two different meaning, doesn't it ? It means what I am writing right now. Something that starts with a capital letter and ends by a dot. But there is that other one, no ? The one that means condemnation ? If it's that one, then the well's power is evil and more still, Marsh is manipulated by it, whatever it is. Forget about chaos and all the rest. How could life pronounce a sentence of death ?
Any thoughts on these last ramblings ?
