Ok, I'm continueing on from the hemalurgy thread. Sorry for those who have already read there, this first paragrpah is a short recap
So basically, to sum things up, since the mists area sort of neutral force between Ruin and Preservation, it doesn't quite make sense that the mists pull away from hemalrugists who are of only Ruin, when Ruin is just as influential (if not more- the deepness) as preservation is. So I began wondering, what if the mists are of balance and they only pull away from Hemalurgist because they are only of one of the powers at one particualr time (only Ruin or only Preservation), and it pulls towards allomancers, because they are balanced between the two.
That's my first thought, the second one is, I've been going on about how Prservation is trapped in teh mists ( the mist psirit) well if the mists are neutral, why would Preservation be trapped, then I thought to myself, maybe PResrvation is trapped in something else, something that is of Ruin, and is chaotic thus can limit Preseration influence, and I had it: what if Preservatio nis trapped inside the body of a person, and is passed from mother to daughter or father to son, adn son on! Human are of Ruin right? What if one of the heroes is hiding preservation, and the only way to get preservation out and restore balance is to kill the person, wouldn't that be awful. What if it's Vin, and that's why she;s so powerful at allomancy, she has some sort of higher bieng inside her! Her mother was hearing the Voice of PReservation that she once had, and the earing was her way of passing the "spirit" on to Vin. Remember, the descritption says Elend and Vin can't discusss their plans to stop Ruin, because then he will find out, so they have to keep things to themselves. What if Elend is the Hero of Ages, and the only way to stop Ruin is to bring balance, thus Preservation msut be freed as well, and Vin and/or elend figure this out, and Elend must kill Vin to save the world, and he can;t even talk to her about it ,and she can;t tell him it's all right because then Ruin will find out!
Wow, sorry guys that is kind of far fetched. I was really tired last night when I thought this up, sorry! I hope it at least gives you gusy someting to think about!
