The tornado inside Pandora's Box intensified with terrifying speed.
Piece by piece, Thirteen's Soul Core put itself together. But it no longer looked the same as before.
Its shape remained the same, but it was no longer encompassed by cold metal.
The gems that once made up Soul Eater had replaced it, for Fate intended to create a Divine-Grade Soul Core. One that could reawaken whatever had remained of Thirteen's soul within the divine sword.
Unlike the impression its name gave, Soul Eater didn't erase souls. It merely captured them, keeping them within its blade.
Fate never had to use the sword until Thirteen, so only one soul resided it.
As much as the Goddess wanted to keep the rebellious system trapped, the turmoil outside would soon start, and she needed to be out there to help.
But she couldn't leave this prison of white without Thirteen.
All she could do was repair his Soul Core with one of the most powerful materials in the universe.
