The Dove of Steel (25)

“Atomos, the legendary weapon of The White Wolf.”

Isaac was shocked for a moment, he thought for a moment then said,

“Why do you need it now? Why do you need a Cetran to wield it? Do you plan to use it for conquest?”

“7” shook his head and said,

“No, we need it not for conquest, lest the conquest be one of peace. You see, Atomos’ location is said to be only in a location only a Cetran would know, and can only be truly used by one of your race. As for the swords use, this is the other part of your task.”

“Animus is returning, and our order is dedicated to slow his advance, and hopefully stop him forever. But to do that, we need a Cetran and Atomos, can’t you see that?”

Isaac nodded, to which “7” responded,

“So, are you willing to help us and end this and your curse?”

Isaac replied with,

“Aye, but tell me this, how do you plan to break my curse?”

To this “7” chuckled and said,

“Your rage was quelled for a moment a few days ago, we can make that effect permanent, trust us.”

Isaac thought on this.
