Prologue: The Soul Swords

Chosen by history, a man becomes a warrior. Engraved into history, a warrior becomes a hero. In the world, there are countless legends surrounding the swords known as the soul swords. Some claim them to be the ultimate weapons. Others refer to them as the swords of heroes; phantom swords of immeasurable power; the keys to eternal youth; a treasure without equal; the panacea to cure all illnesses.

One of the soul swords, namely, Soul Edge, though various folklore of the sword spread across the world, was unmistakably evil. It was a demonic sword that fed on mortal souls. The blade, born from human hands, came to life and began devouring souls after bathing in human blood countless times. But, like all great power, where there's darkness, there's a counteracting light, namely the spirit sword, Soul Calibur.

The two swords clashed many times throughout the centuries, but this strife was never etched into history, for no one knew…

Until, in a year still unknown today, the two swords clashed once more. Soul Edge, wielded by the fallen knight, Nightmare, and Soul Calibur, wielded by an unknown warrior of the Light, had a final battle in the Ostrheinsburg Church in the soul swords' homeland. Nightmare was defeated, and Soul Edge destroyed. Though the warrior of light had intended to vanquish the demon sword altogether, Soul Edge had a plan of its own…

Instead of just waiting to be destroyed, the demon sword concentrated its strength so that it would simply shatter. The fragments were scattered throughout the world…and others.

Transcending history and the world, a tale of souls and swords, eternally retold…


For those of you who have played Soul Calibur, this is just a recap, though it will prove to be important in the next chapter or two.
All in all, not a bad summary of the Soul Edge/Soul Calibur conflict, don't you think? I appreciate review, praises and critisism alike.
The story may contain OC's, it may not, but i do not own anything from Spyro or Soul Calibur. Whenever i DO introduce an OC, i'll let you know at the beginning of each chapter.

See ya when i get the next chapter in!
