Complete shock. Enzo remained, yet his mind was out of body. He could not fathom the magnitude of what he was being told. More, he did not want to comprehend what he was being asked. The end of the world rested on the moral epithets of his shoulders? It was a burden he was unworthy to bear.
He stood and followed the Regus. "Begging your pardon, Regus, but Apollyon, oui, must be stopped, but you say he is the Ascendancy. Our Ascendancy?"
He was the CCD. To murder him was to strike an arrow into the beating heart of the world. Enzo could not be such a bowman.
"Il m'est impossible de le faire."
His incomprehension muttered in his mother's tongue before he could stop himself. He quickly corrected himself, although in retrospect the Regus did not need the translation. "It is not possible, Regus. I cannot assist in the assassination of the Ascendancy."
The horror with which he shook his head was plain.
"How might I even get close enough to him to carry out such a murder?"
Enzo showed his doubt for he pivoted and sought answers from the empty air like he might pluck them out of nothing.
