Disclaimer: I don't own Soulcalibur. But I do own Trixie and this story.

Author's notes: Excuse me, but for your information I'm a girl. Anyway, Trixie, my custom character, is a twelve-year-old girl who possesses the attributes of wind and fire. She's kind, four inches tall, shows mercy to her enemies, smart, cheerful, and forgetful. Everyone mistakes her for Talim, but, when someone calls her that, she laughs and says, "Sorry, but I'm not my cousin. Just call me anything else!" Okay, enough info! Let's move on to the story!

Playing with Fire

It's winter. Yup.

No fun going anywhere anymore.

Talim watches the snow fall.

"What's worse, fre-e-e-e-zing s-s-s-n-n-ow or b-b-b-u-r-n-ning h-h-o-o-ot?" She asked herself while she was shaking violently. Yun-Seong goes beside her and hands over a long piece of wool. "I s-s-s-a-a-a-y-y-y f-f-r-r-e-e-e-z-z-i-i-n-n-g c-c-c-o-o-l-l-d. Imagine w-h-a-a-t w-o-u-u-l-d h-a-p-p-e-e-n if y-o-u-u-u s-t-t-a-y-y-e-d in y-y-o-u-r s-s-u-m-m-e-r c-c-l-o-o-t-h-e-s at t-t-h-h-i-s t-t-i-m-m-m-e of t-t-h-h-h-e y-y-e-e-a-r?" Yun-Seong shivered and explained. Talim wears the wool around her and still felt cold.

"BANG BANG BANG!"

Violent knocks were heard at the door.

Talim tries to open it, but it was jammed.

"Try kicking the door open!" Talim shouted.

"BOOM!"

"S-s-s-o-r-r-y for the d-d-d-door. But you will n-n-n-e-v-ver believe this t-t-time of the year!"

Talim's twelve-year-old cousin, Trixie, suddenly came in. "W-w-w-h-h-a-t-t-t a-r-r-r-e you d-d-o-ing h-h-e-e-r-e?" Talim asked. "D-d-d-don't you g-g-u-y-s r-r-e-e-a-l-i-z-z-e that we're n-n-o-t in a-a-n-n-y v-v-v-i-l-l-a-g-e!?" the Talim look-alike said. Talim and Yun-Seong stared at each other.

"A-n-n-n-d i-it's w-w-o-r-r-s-s-e t-t-h-a-a-n s-c-r-r-a-p m-m-m-e-t-t-a-l!" Trixie continued.

Soon it was night time. Everyone knows that temperature at that time is worse.

Talim and Yun-Seong were still shaking violently, but Trixie somehow resisted the coldness. Trixie removed her jacket. "Whew! Somehow feels better!" She exclaimed. She takes out the flute Talim gave to her on her eleventh birthday. She starts playing it.

The notes played by the flute…

It was like…

Every single note made the three feel warm, like a hot summer day.

"It sure is nice to stay out of the coldness and feel the summer heat again, right?" Talim whispered.

"Ha-ha…

Yeah.I really missed the heat." Yun-Seong answered.

The notes felt everlasting, and the three of them cannot feel the shivering outdoors anymore.
