A/N:So to the three people who read the first chapter, I am so sorry. I had issues with this story ever since I started writing it. I'll post the next chapter after this one since it's already typed and this one was rather short. I beg your forgivness in my laziness and beg that you continue with me as we both discover what the heck is going on here

Elend Venture woke with a start. He was still sitting in his throne room inside Keep Venture, his military suit of white, pure and untouched by the ash, and circlet crown still on his person. Elend looked around in wonder. The last thing he remembered was him and his army of misting and Mistborn fighting Ruin at the Pits and him being killed by Marsh so he couldn't understand why he was sitting here in his comfortable throne at the darker hours of the day.
'How am I alive?' Elend asked himself. He looked around and saw the bed was empty and the door and window was shut and bolted. 'Where's Vin?' Elend thought. 'She's not outside, the windows are locked.' A knock came at the door and Elend said, "Come in."
"My lord." A soldier said. "Are you well? Your guards said you have been quiet lately. Is all well?" The man's name was Anto. He didn't know how he knew, but Elend just did. He studied the man and noticed that he was different. Swords and knives decorated his back and chest regions, and his bulking muscles were prominent features with his blue eyes and blonde hair.
"I'm fine thank you." Eland said. He then remembered. "Where is Lady Vin?"
"My lord?" Anto said questioningly. "Do you not remember the battle? Lady Vin perished in the battle at the pits. She was the only casualty oddly enough. She sacrificed her life to save you and the world. She is a great hero."
"Impossible." Elend muttered. "I saw thousands of people dieing. We all died there soldier."
"My lord, if you wish to believe that, they you may. I only can tell you what I saw with my own eyes. I have here a scar that should have killed me out right yet I still lived. It was because of Lady Vin's merciful touch that I survived. We owe her so much and you much more."
"Thank you soldier." Elend said. "You may return to your post. I don't wish to be disturbed for the rest of the day." At Anto's nod, the door closed and Elend stood up. He needed to find out what the hell happened. He dressed as he normally would have, his war clothes of white and a circlet upon his head and jumped out the window, mistcloack billowing in the mist. He searched the entire city and couldn't find a trace of his beloved. He went to the Lord Ruler's old place and she wasn't there. No matter where he went, she just wasn't there. No sign of life could be found with his eyes when it came to Vin.
"Lord Creator what have you done to her?" Elend muttered. A soft breeze blew by and he swore he could smell one of Vin's favorite perfumes. He looked around and burned bronze yet he couldn't see or feel anyone near him. "Vin," He whispered to the wind. "Where are you?" Of course no answer came but he knew, he just knew, that Vin was still out there somewhere. Maybe she had been the Hero of Ages. He didn't know, but he had to find someone who could help. Maybe Sazed could help. He was, after all, a studier of religions. Maybe he could help with this. He headed back to Keep Venture and didn't even realize he was burning copper. When he bumped into a man who looked shockingly familiar. When he looked up at the man he could only sutdder. Finally he got out a simple phrase.
"Kelsier? Is it you?"
