There are other things I should be doing, I'll admit (like updating all my other fics), but I felt like I had to write this before it slipped away. It's an adaptation of Chronicles of the Sword mode from Soulcalibur III. Enjoy.
This is a tale of swords and souls…
In another time, in another place, there was a continent which held three great kingdoms: the Grandall Empire, the Kingdom of Dalkia and the Halteese Republic.
Once Dalkia and Halteese waged a great war against one another for countless years, while Grandall amassed its armies quietly. None knew of a shadowy danger that was slowly beginning to rise.
The instigator of what would come to be known as the Mantis War, King Chester the Tactician, was only one influential figure who rose from that same war.
The other was a mere cadet in the Grandall Army. His name was Alexander.
Of course, this was only the prologue. There's more to come.
