" Edge , I would like you to have this sword ."
" Victor .. why ? "
" Edge , I have came to an age where my physique is not as what it was before . "
" But Victor ... This sword , it still can serve you well enough ! You still have the prowess and skill with it and I have witnessed it ! "
" Edge , I personally feel that after all this time that I've spent with you and all the things that I've seen in you during the past few days , I feel that you are ready to handle this sword to journey out into the world ."
" Victor ... I'm very honored and I appreciate your gesture . But I feel that I'm not ready for this sword yet ...."
" Edge , listen to me . After all this time I have wielded its blade , I have felt that it is necessary to pass down this sword so that its legacy will always stay alive and its cause will continue to help save lives . "
" Victor ..."
" Edge , I remembered the first time when I was as young as you , I stepped out into the world armed with a sword that I picked up from an abandoned weapon smith . I was confused , directionless and lost without a cause and without a clue . The truth is that I even didn't want the events that happened to me to shape me into the person that I am today . And then I stumbled upon this sword , I longed for it so desperately because I wanted to right a wrong that has plagued me for the longest time ."
" And what after that ? ..."
" As I traveled with the sword for a number of years . I have came to realize that all this time , after I've slayed the vampire who was responsible for the death of everything that I hold dear , there was nothing left for me to look forward to in my life . I have traveled through numerous lands in search for adventure but nothing that I've seen could ever fill up that void in my heart again ."
" ......"
" And when you said to me , on that very day that you wanted to become a great swordsman and rescue your sister during that time when the vampires attacked your hometown .... I saw that deep down inside of you , you have something that even the most skilled and most powerful warrior let alone I do not have ..."
" .... And what is that , that I have that all the warriors you seen in your lifetime do not have that I do ? "
" Spirit . "
" ........."
And then there was an unnerving silence between Edge and Victor .
" Victor ... Are you sure you want to hand over this sword to Edge ? "
" Flik , I have a good deal of faith in Edge . He is the ideal person to wield the Star Dragon Sword . "
" Victor , I will not question your decision and I trust it . I have to admit that he has some very special qualities that did enlightened me ..."
" Flik ... He really reminds me of ...."
" Who ? "
" He does resemble a little dash of Tir ...."
" Edge ? Ha ha ha ha ha !... Not so much Victor .. Maybe he has his fighting prowess and spirited mindset ... hahah ! .."
Edge steps up to both Flik and Victor and starts to interrupt .
" Victor ...."
" Huh ? Ah ... yeah ... Edge , and therefore I was saying about what you have that most people don't . "
" Victor , I have changed my mind . I'm ready for the sword . "
" Eh ? "
" Victor , Flik . After all the things that you have said , and after all the things that I have experienced through the days past , I have given it a whole lot of thought and contemplation and I have finally decided ."
" So what is your choice , Edge ? "
" I want to succeed you by wielding the Star Dragon Sword ."
" Are you sure that you want to ? You know that wielding a powerful weapon brings about a very heavy responsibility ."
" Flik , I now know what I want to become , I want to venture out into the world to improve my form . I want to dedicate myself to become stronger , so that I could have the power to prevent myself from being a victim like the people in my village who were killed so brutally . Ultimately , I want to search the world for a cause that I could dedicate myself to so that I could fulfill the cause of my existence . "
" I see that you are truly prepared for the Star Dragon Sword ."
" Victor , Flik . I thank the both of you , deep down in my heart I have finally found the thing that would further sustain myself as I will live through my life as a warrior ."
" Edge , it will be my privilege to hand over to you the Star Dragon Sword . I truly believe that with the qualities that you have and have shown us , you will become a great warrior and an outstanding person ."
" I , in return , once again thank the two of you : Victor and Flik for the much needed guidance that has made me think so much differently and see the path that I should walk to achieve my goals ."
As Edge , Victor and Flik departed away to their clarion call of duty and cause , Edge begins to travel into the world to search for his meaning and his place in the world . Unknownst to him that he will play a huge destined role in Suikoden History , he walks the Suikoden world seeking to improve his swordsmanship and his character .
The Journey of Edge begins ....
