Evil's Edge
Chapter 2: Soul Eater
By The Sapphire Hedgehog
Wow! I never imagined this story would do this well! I started getting reviews for it the day it was published! Thank you for everyone who lent their support and advice! As always, Tales of Symphonia and all characters within it are not mine, they are the result of Namco's hard work in making this awesome game.
It had been three days since they had met Abyssion. When the group had agreed to help them, he had smiled and said,
"I thank you all. The cursed weapons are hidden in special chests around the world. I would have gone to find them myself, but already the curse is affecting me. I don't have the strength to travel across the world. But I can give you something to help you on your quest."
With this, he handed over a strange looking key that looked like it had organs growing on it.
"That is the Nebilim Key. It's presence is the only thing that will unlock the black chests. I have been able to gather one of the Devil's Arms, though."
Lloyd took the offered blades and looked at them. He held in his hand what looked like a large purple tendon and a straight yellow tail with a green eye in it that looked at him. He also began to feel weak from just holding them.
"What is this thing?" Lloyd asked him with a shudder.
"That is my grandfather's weapon, the Nebilim. The weapon shares the name of the Demon King. Please careful, my friend. Let not the evil of the Devil's Arms sway you."
And with these words, he stood up and walked with a slow, but steady, gait towards the entrance of town. The group watched him go, when Regal's deep voice startled them.
"We have obtained the summon spirit of Ice. We have no further business in this place. We should go."
The group nodded, then boarded the Rheiards and took off.
They decided that their next spirit should be the one of fire, since it was relatively close by once the traveled to Sylvarant. Once they arrived at the Renegade Base in Sylvarant, they took off for the ruins where Collette had first received her wings. On the way, however, the Nebilim Key began to vibrate and let out a high pitched sound. AS soon as the sound died away, and ENORMOUS Desert Worm leaped up from the dunes! Lloyd unsheathed his swords and Genis began to bounce the ball on his kendama up and down in preparation for a spell.
Lloyd charged toward the worm and leapt into the air. Aiming carefully, he pointed both swords toward the worm and shouted "Falcon Dive!" just as he shot towards the worm, tearing a large hole through it.
"Gravity Well!" Came Genis' shout, aimed right in the hole the dive had created. The worm had only a second to look at the whole before it imploded with a loud, wet sound.
A light was shining where the worm once appeed, and closer inspection revealed it to be a sword stuck n the sand.
The first Devil's Arm had been found…
As always, please leave a review!
