Link's Tale of Souls and Swords
-PART TWO-

By: HylianHero128

Prologue

It was a rather long and grueling journey to this 'other world', but the thought of saving his homeland from further destruction urged Link to press on. Eventually, he made it, feeling quite proud of himself. He found however, that he was not alone in this land, for others sought the Soul Edge as well, all for their own reasons…

Chapter One: Versus Talim

Link's first encounter was a young girl, a couple years his junior. She was rather short, and had unnaturally large eyes. She was garbed in white green and red, and she wielded two exotic looking bladed weapons. Link approached her.

"Um… excuse me miss, do you know where I might be able to find the Soul E—"

"I can't let you go on." Talim replied. She held her weapons in front of her.

"Huh?"

"The sword is evil!" She pleaded.

"Yes! Yes I know that! That is why I must destroy it!"

"Please!" Talim gave link a grave look, and moved into a fighting stance.

"Whoa whoa, easy there." Link exclaimed. "Please what?"

"Please!" Talim pleaded again. She stared Link in the eyes.

"Uhh… sorry miss, but I can't fight you right now. I have to find the Soul Edge. Besides, you're a fifteen year-old girl. I can't beat you up!"

Talim was silent. She was bouncing on the balls of her feet, as if ready to attack at any second.

Link sighed. "How 'bout this. I'll fight you, but if I win, you gotta tell me where this stupid Soul Edge thing is, okay?" Link took Talim's silence as a yes. "Uhh… all right. Be warned though, I can be quite viscous."

Link unsheathed his sword and readied for battle. Before Talim made any moves, she closed her eyes and said.

"Don't worry Talim, believe in yourself." Link was confused.

"No No. My name's Link!" But Talim didn't listen. She opened her eyes and dove at Link

"STRIKE!"

"AHH!" Link screamed. He hopped out of the way. He put his hands on his hips and frowned. "That wasn't fair! You didn't tell me you were ready!"

"Forgive me!" Talim said.

"Ah, well that's quite all right."

"NOW!"

"Wha-" Talim was at Link again, and he had barely enough time to block with his shield. "AAAAAH! STOP IT!" Talim leapt over Link.

"HIT!" Her two blades collided with Link's head.

"GAAH!" He fell to the ground. Talim sighed.

"You're full of nothing!"

Angered, Link jumped up. "I am NOT full of nothing!" He cried defiantly. He got into fighting stance again. Talim followed suit. Once again, before attacking, she said something:

"Calm down Talim… Okay."

"…are you talking to yourself?"
"HERE I COME!"

"OH SNAP!" Link squealed. He lashed out his sword in defense. Luckily, it hit Talim in the knees and she toppled over. "SCORE! I GOT HER DOWN!" Link then took a vertical swipe at Talim, from which she cried out in pain. "WHO'S FULL OF NOTHING NOW?"

Link pulled his sword back and charged up a Spin Attack. Just as Talim was standing up, he unleashed it and knocked her down once again. She screamed rather loudly, and did not get up.

Link beamed. "I won!"

"How could this be?" Link offered his hand to Talim.

"Good fight." She frowned

"Go!" She barked, "Return to that from which you came!"

Link gasped. "Ah! Okay okay, I'm going!" And Link skittered away. He mumbled under his breath "Sore loser…" He pressed onward, in search of the Soul Edge.

heh heh, i just love the idea that the characters cant say anything but in-game quotes. it was one of my frist ideas when thinking up this story. this chapter wa funto write, but this story as a whole is rather fun to write as well. talim's always been on of my favourite characters. when i was a SC2 noob, i only played as Link, and only did the Bat Swing. my first character other than Link was talim. i find her a rather funny character. what really freaks me out is how HUGE her eyes are. seriously, they're about three times the size of a normal person's eyes. espeically in the Hi-Res pic of her in the Gallery. anyways, she's funyy, and i like her. and im rambling on, wow... anyways, tell me what you think, and more chapters will come!

ciao!
