the SEVEN-FIVE project

"I can see all of that, I guess. But Seven isn't a warrior; from what I've seen he's everything but a warrior." Nikki said.

"But Seven has dispatched two of your enemies and likely will dispatch more of them when given the chance." Draco spoke evenly. He didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that no one trusted him.
"He didn't stop them. The Priest stopped Vlad and you killed Oslo. The only one that Seven has fought at beaten was Serge, but he didn't kill him."
"That would be the virtue of restraint my dear. He had the opportunity to kill them, but he didn't. Now if you would be so kind as to stop interrupting me with your questions, Nichole Welch-Montclair, I have much to explain." Draco got up and began pacing the room. Nikki looked hurt because Draco had more or less dismissed her as unimportant. I put my arm around her and pulled her to me to try and reassure her, but she just pulled away.
"As I have said, Cyrus worships Khonshu the god of the moon and time, what the two have to do with each other, no one really knows but the ancient Egyptians. What I have come to understand from his rather pointless ramblings lately is that he is destined to fight and fall to you Seven.
"No, it doesn't say Seven specifically, but at this point he believes it to be you that the prophecy speaks of. There have been many things throughout your past that have led him to believe this: your association with The Priest, your lack of magical knowledge, his involvement with your parents, and their deaths along with many other things."
"What the fuck do you mean his involvement with my parents and their deaths?" I stood up and nearly lunged across the room at Draco, but Nikki and The Priest held onto me.
"Cyrus worked with you parents on several occasions before they disappeared. He was very young but advanced in his skill for his age. The Council believed it had something to do with his father's family, but it was his mother's father that had altered him. He would physically age slower, but his magical ability would develop faster. At this point he is thirty-eight years old, but appears to be twenty-five and has the magical ability of someone twice that age. He is a force to be reckoned with, or at least he should be."
