Teasha: So here's chapter 3! Posted already!

Kelsier: Woo hoo!

Teasha: Time to par-tay!

Kelsier: Teasha-san does not own Mistborn or Death Note. Can I go now?

Teasha: No way, you crazy lunatic! Now let's dance!

Once, Nilima, Zara's mother, had told Zara about them. She said that they worked for the government in the times of old. That once, a man known as the Lord Ruler had ruled over the world in tyranny and oppression. She said that the mountains spewed ash into the atmosphere, and the sun was red when it rose into the sky.

"And they were his soldiers. They were all powerful mistborn, who moved with lightning speed and killer reflexes. They had these large metal spikes that stuck out of their head and through their eyes. And if any half-breed skaa with misting powers were found on the streets, you could be sure that they would find and kill them. The Lord Ruler called them inquisitors.

"These inquisitors were evil to the bone. Not even the nobles liked them all that much. They enforced the laws of the Lord Ruler, so if anyone tried to rebel, you could be sure an inquisitor or two would come after you.

"When the Final Empire fell, only one inquisitor remained standing. And that one inquisitor is what led to our new government. It is a free people government, or at least that's what they call it. but don't let them fool you. This government will never be known as free, because of what they are still doing to us.

"They take mistborn. I don't know why, but I know that they do because your father was mistborn. He was so powerful, and sneaky, too. He snuck right under the noses of all those inquisitors one day, and brought back a mistcloak for you. That was when you were just turning one. He wanted you to have it, because we both knew that you would grow up to be a powerful mistborn.

"But your father wasn't careful enough. His favorite pastime was jumping through the mists. One day, he went out and never came back."

"What about my mistcloak, mommy? Where did it go?"

"He took it with him when he went out that one day. He said that they were getting smarter, and that he needed some better cover in the mists. I guess that they were smarter than him in the end."

"Mommy, do they kill mistborn?"

"Honey, I'm not sure. Your father insisted that they never killed mistborn, and were instead using them for some big government project. But to be honest, I wasn't sure if I believed him when he said that."

"Oh."

"So because of that, honey, you have to remember to never let them get you. If they capture you, I'm not sure what they would do to you. Okay? Don't go looking for your dad. Do you understand?"

"Okay, mother."

Zara awoke from the dream. "A dream about the past, huh?" she said to herself. "Maybe it's trying to warn me about something."

"What?" asked Beyond, from the other side of the alley.

"Oh, nothing," said Zara offhandedly. "It was just a dream."

"Okay," Beyond murmured. "I'm going back to sleep."

Zara got up. "Okay, but I've got work to do," she said. "See you later."

Beyond lifted his hand up, then let it flop back down. 'What a lazy bum,' thought Zara as she started off towards her workplace.

She burned copper again, and then pewter to run faster and wake herself up. If her dream had been trying to warn her of anything, it was definitely that they had found her and Beyond, and were coming to get them. Zara shook her head. She hoped it wasn't true, but she had learned something about her dreams and reality in the world. Her dreams were not random; they were always there for a reason. If not, then she wouldn't dream at all.

She took off to her workplace, though, hoping she herself was wrong.
