Those of you who haven't read Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn Trilogy are missing out and are highly unlikely to understand this short thing I came up with.

   Kanisha sighed. The wind played with the ends of her seemingly tattered cloak. It was made that way, to blend in with the Mists. But the Mists were gone now, and the mistcloaks made for the Mistborn were the last tribute. Kanisha missed the security of knowing that nobody could see her at night. She wanted the Mists to return.

   Her short brown hair brushed the sides of her head as she looked around from her perch on the spire. It used to be the main palace, but most of it was in ruin now. It was only used by the Mistborn. Everything was metal, so it was like an old playground specially made for the Mistborn. Only a handful of them remained.

   Kanisha burned steel and leaped off of the spire she'd been sitting on, Pushing off of the blue line that extended from her chest to the metal. Swapping to iron and flaring her pewter she Pulled on the spire she had been aiming for, she landed hard on the spire closest to the rest of the city.

   Spook had insisted on building up one of the other cities, Elendel. Kanisha refused to live there. She had too many fond memories with Kelsier and Vin in Luthadel. Plus there was Ore'Seur. Kanisha wasn't sure if he'd been killed in battle or not, so she'd been hunting for him. If only Sazed were around to tell her.

   She sighed and looked up at the sky. Sazed, are you really up there or did you just explode? Rust and Ruin I wish you'd answer me. As always, there was no response from the Terrisman who had taken it upon himself to fix the world.

   Kanisha held up a vial of metal. Cadmium, to be exact. Maybe she should find somewhere safe to put up a time bubble for a few decades... just to see. The temptation was very strong. She wondered if anyone would find her if she went into the room far below the castle she currently sat on.

   She hesitated, then downed the contents of the vial. She slid down the spire to the edge and looked down. She burned tin and steel. She flicked a coin toward the ground and Pushed it to make it go faster. With her tin-enhanced senses, she heard it clink against the cobblestones below. She dropped off the edge of the spire, still Pushing on the coin to slow her fall.

   She checked the streets for Hazekillers before slipping into the shadows, looking for somewhere she could safely burn through her cadmium. She had enough to last a few hundred years outside the bubble. She stopped by what used to be the kitchen and grabbed as many cans of food as she could carry.

   She sat down next to the pool of clean water and put up the bubble. All that was left to do now was wait and hope the entrance didn't collapse.

   Callia pressed her back to the old stone house, her pistol in hand. She was fairly sure Mockingjay hadn't seen her. A boot crunched on stones almost right next to her. She whipped toward the sound, aiming her pistol.

   A man in a fancy suit jerked back, raising his hands up. "Don't shoot."

   Callia lowered her gun and glared at him. "Wax!" she hissed. "Don't do that! Mockingjay was following me. I don't think he saw me go here, but if you just landed there he probably saw you!" 

   Wax frowned. "Mockingjay is here?"

   Callia rolled her eyes. "Rust and Ruin Wax!" She burned her tin and listened carefully, cocking her pistol. Footsteps were coming closer. Mockingjay had definitely seen Wax.

   She peered carefully around the edge of the wall. Mockingjay wasn't alone. He was followed by someone in a mistcloak. The mistcloak looked old and well-worn, slightly more tattered than it should have been. The person was a woman and, as Callia flared her tin, she could see that they had short brown hair and bright, unnaturally green eyes. 

   Callia quickly stopped burning tin and aimed her gun at Mockingjay. She fired. The bang making Mockingjay flinch and cover his ears. Callia smirked even though she'd missed. Ha! He was burning tin. With any luck, he won't do it again. 

   The woman behind Mockingjay watched as Callia and Wax leaped out from behind the wall to fight. Wax dropped a coin and leaped into the air. Callia took another shot at Mockingjay, clipping his shoulder.

   The woman watched the two try and fail to do some damage to Mockingjay as he danced around them. "Back up!" she shouted.

   Wax spun in the air gracefully and flicked another coin at the ground. He was launched up into the fog that was starting to form to the roof of a nearby building. Callia, unsure of what else to do, leaped back.

   The woman threw a handful of coins, they flashed in the dim moonlight as they flew toward Mockingjay. One hit his right arm and another grazed the side of his head. Coinshot I guess. Not all that uncommon out here, Callia thought.

   The coins stopped going forward and flew back toward the woman, taking down Mockingjay as one shifted direction and hit the base of his back. As the woman approached, Wax dropped from the roof and landed in the sand.

   Callia knew her mouth was probably wide open as she walked toward the woman. The woman smiled at them. "Mistings?" she asked.

   Wax and Callia nodded. They were both speechless.

   The woman bowed to them. "Kanisha Rhonnan. I am mistborn."

   Wax recovered first. "I'm Waxilliam Ladrian, a coinshot, and this is Callia Nalasha, a tineye. We're the guardians of the Roughs."

   Kanisha spread her arms to the sides. "Allow me to assist you."

I loved writing this. I recently started reading Shadows of Self the fifth book in what used to be the Mistborn Trilogy, but is now the Mistborn Series. Again, if you haven't read them, you are seriously missing out. Go to the library and get them now. Brandon Sanderson is an amazing author. If you're in the mood for an epic novel go for Warbreaker it's what he jokingly calls "a chihuahua killer novel". Literally about five inches thick and it's great.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this. If you have any requests for shorts let me know!

May the speed force be with you!
