Both good and evil roam the world, side by side, forever bonded. Where there is darkness, there is light. And where there is light, there is darkness. One cannot exist without the other. The world would fall into oblivion if one were to cease living. Each fights for control, using mortals to their will. But disrupting the balance will result in chaos. Two swords, Soul Calibur and Soul Edge, represent these forces. The swords would live on mortals, using their bodies to rid the world of eachother. But some humans grew immune to the cries of the swords and instead of doing their biddings, they locked away the cursed blades, so the world may live in peace. They still lay dormant today, waitindanger another chance at freedom.
But who would ever believe in such nonsense.
Sometime near the end of the 17th century, a young girl and boy drifted into a sacred domain. They were naive and curious, two traits that when are used together, can cause horrific results. They wandered the world, alone, looking for a way to survive. They had no money, no clothes, and no parents. Both of them were thrown away, left to die, and ignored by the world. With just eachother, they searched for their salvation. In the distance, a tower loomed. The girl and boy, wanting shelter, entered, oblivious to the danger. But soon after, voices crept into their head. The boy heard whispers of holyness and perfection, where as the girl heard screams of power and strength. Each day, the voices grew louder and more urgent. When the girl and boy could no longer contain the words inside them, they parted ways, living in two different sides of the tower. The voices still tugged at their minds and soon, they were drawn by invisible forces. The boy was consumed by Soul Calibur, and became its faithful servant, and the girl was consumed by Soul Edge, and became its unquestioning slave.
The boy left the tower, no longer remembering his true identity. He traveled north, into the mountains where he soon became King and was given the name Jukar. He and his loyal men scoured the land for anyone unholy. Those who are found are killed mercilessly.
And as for the girl, she also lost her memories. she retreated to the darkness of underground, where she soon found creatures of all sort. But the sword gave her strength and soon became their Queen, going by the name Ieolet. She searched the world finding pure souls to feed on, so that the cursed sword would give her mercy.
Each ruled of them ruled, obeying the calls of their masters, leaving the land they dwindled on shattered. The world underground was dark and mysterious, free of rules, where as above, in the mountains, there was little freedom and differentiality.
But both swords wanted more. They wanted to rid eachother of existence. There was no longer peace between mortals. They murdered endlessly, each and every one of them craving power.
And only the boy and girl could stop the madness.
If you are wondering about the weird names, they are based off of angels.
Jukar- the prince over all angels
Ieolet- an angel invoked to exorcise demons
