Chapter 3-The Warrior

Talim kept running as fast as she could.Faster and Faster every time.Finally she had enough and fell to the ground.She rolled around and jumped back up,looking where they went.Talim then saw that she wasn't far from her winmill,and used it as a advantage.She headed to the winmill instead,and climbed the stairs to her room.She was right at the end of the floor on her knees.She looked down,only seeing the winmills.Talim was about to give up,when she saw little black dots ride around a working winmill,knocking things and people over.Talim got up,look around for away to track them.She picked up her blades and came up with a conclusion:She was just gonna jump.

Talim watched as the thieves rode underneath her,counting in her mind."3...2...1!"and jumped,put out her arms as if she was spreading her wings.Talim sung a small chant for the winds and magicly she was almost flying.She followed The thieves,lowering herself closer and closer.She was close enough to land on the last thief's stallion,so she sung another chant.The magic disappered and she landed in the correct spot.

"Hey!"she said,poking on the thief's back.He had no clue there was another passenger on the horse.

"I said,HEY!"she yelled,wacking him in the head with one of her elbow blades.The horse stopped and knocked the two off.The thief rubbed his head,while Talim looked down at him and laughed."Hello!"she greeted with a fake smile.She put out her hand."As an Apology please let me help you up."The guy just glared at her,but didn't care.He put out his hand,and Talim grabbed it.Talim yanked him up and kicked him in the stomach.He fell to the ground in pain but his struggling got him back up.

"Oh it's so sad.A poor girl to die so young,"he laughed in his rough,hacking voice.He pulled out his stealing group of thieves-sword and swang it at Talim's head,trying to cut it off.Talim was able to dodge it though,landing on her bottom.She put her legs in the jump position and kicked him at his ankles.The guy fell down once more,and Talim got up.She slowly picked up the thief's head,and she did the opposite.She slammed the thief's head to the ground.

The man was in a coma-like stage,he couldn't do anything.Talim pushed the guy into the bushes,took his head gear,(he had a black cloth surrounding his mouth,with a black ski mask).She also took his black cloak,even though it wasn't her size,and ran after the group."What kind of trouble am I putting myself through?This isn't good...but it's too late now.One thief down,a few more to go."

Talim finally made it to the group."I'm *heavy gasp* am *heavy gasp* sorry that I am *heavy gasp* late,"

The leader jumped off his horse,all the others staring at his wondering what he was going t do.As they whispered,the leader approached Talim.

"Hey Rymo why do you sound like a wussy-little-girl"he said.Talim put her hand in a fist,wanting to release her rage."Rymo?Oh yeah,I'm Rymo!"she thought.She cleared her voice,toughing it up."Sorry leader sir!"she yelled at him.

"What's your problem?"he asked.He was pretty skinney,and didn't look if he had any muscles.

"Yeah,what's your problem?"repeated another man.He had a squeakier voice,like a "wussy-little-girl's"voice.

"Hitting Puberty?"chuckled another guy.He was very heavy,it was hard to believe he could fit on his black stallion.

"Hello!We have places to rob and little time to do it.C'mon!"yelled the only girl.Talim was happy to know this stupid conversation would be over.

"Whatever guys.She's right.Let's go ruin some losers' lives by stealing their valubles!"she yelled back at them.

The 3 others began riding ahead of them,when the leader stopped Talim."Rymo don't screw up this time! I MEANT IT!"he said,punching Talim's shoulder.He jumped back on his horse,and rode back up in front.Talim clutched the shoulder the leader painfull punched,realizing she would be walking again.Talim only looked down at her feet,and went back following the group."Now I have done it..."she said to herself quietly,"The next stop they'll be no more."

The group arrived in the of the Lee Dynasty area,when the leader stopped stopping the group from going any further."OKAY,men,*cough* I mean,men and wo-MAN,Were are going to split up."After that,he sent the 3 others to certain parts of the area,Talim was left last."Where am I going,Leader Sir?"

"Hey,stop using that gay girly voice already!"he joked,pushing Rymo around for fun.Talim didn't find it funny though."Okay,Okay,I'm going to put you to a test.I sending you to Seung Han Myong's home.Rumor has it that He has some stuff that can make us mill-bill-trillionairs!"

"Huh? Oh. Oh! Yeah,sir,yeah!" she answered,trying to act if she understood.

"Good! Now get going! "the leader replied,giving Talim another shove."Enough with the pushing and the shoving!"she thought.

Talim snuck around the area,trying not to bee seen my anyone who can report her.There she arrived fence-secured home,bigger then the rest.It was Seung Han Myong's home.Talim ran around the fence thousands of times,but there waw no way in.Talim leaned againest the fence and slowly slumped to the ground,wishing she never followed the thieves and gotton into this.Talim almost dozed off,when she heard noises.When people are being attacked or making an attack,they make strange noises,and that is what Talim was hearing.

Talim tried hopping to see what was going on,but this 17-year old was still too short.Talim then made her highest jump,and clutched her hand to the pointy tops.She ignored the pain,and began pulling herself up to see who was in there.Was it Sueng Han Myong?

Talim was wrong.Talim saw a man about 20 years old training his martial arts with his Korean Sword.

He had spikey red hair,and was almost 6 feet tall.

Kick,Punch,Swing,Back Flip,he was in serious training.Talim kept her balance,watching his every move.Apparently,he was too busy to notice a stranger was watching him.

That stranger was Talim.

Talim continued to watch,almost interested.They were very similar to her movements in her Wind Dances.Then she finally lost her balance,yelping

"YIKES!".Talim landed on her back,feeling all the pain.The man looked around,wondering who was there.He saw no one,and continued his training.

Talim got herself back up,and climbed the fence again.She took one big gulp,and then greeted,"Hiya!"

The man looked around again,Talim sadly chickened out and hid behind the fence.The man once again went back training,when Talim had the guts to climb the fence once again and asked,"Is that a Korean sword I see you with?"

The guy had enough."Who's on Master Sueng Han Myong's property?Come out now,and you will have less of a beating!"

"Oh I am so scared!"yelled Talim.The guy made a moan,and then walked over to one of the sides of the fence,the side Talim was sitting against.He stuck his sword through,right where Talim's layed on.Fortunately,Talim dodged a quick death.Talim slowly took off her cloak and head gear and threw it out of sight.Talim heard the man's footsteps,and began rolling around to the other side of the fence.The guy used the sword as a tool,he jumped on it like a trampoline and flipped over to Talim's side of the fence. Talim kept running,so did the guy.It was now a chase.When the man came to one corner,Talim already was at the next corner.

Talim attemped to make another high jump,and once she did,she clutched the pointy tops she threw herself to the other side,landing on her backside once more.

"Oww...."

The man kept running around,having no clue that she was inside his property.Talim had the nerve to climb up the fence and yell,"HEY MORON I'M OVER HERE!"

He looked up and saw Talim.Talim was too scared to go down,yet was scared that the guy was going to put his sword through her stomach.

The man took one high jump over the fence,facing Talim."So your the tramp who's about to die,"he said,with a grand smirk on his face.He yanked his sword out the fence,threw it in the air and caught it,and aimed it at Talim."Fight or die!"

Talim's scared frown turned into a sly glare.Talim mumbled a chant under her breath,and put her hands up in the sky.She closed her eyes,and said out loud the chant.The man had no clue what Talim was doing.He finally took the chance.The chance to destroy Talim.He his foot went forward,and he made a big leap.The sword was going to go straight through Talim's heart.

The winds came through,and lifted Talim up into the sky.The man fell in despair,his sword stuck in the ground and his head was sweating visciously.Talim's Elbow Blades flew into her hands,and she fell to the ground on her feet.She kneeled down next to him."I'm ready if you wanna fight,"she said calmy,playing with her blades.The man did not speak.He just looked down,taking big breathes.

"Are you...okay?"she asked.She felt weird inside.She felt...if she was worried about him.If there was something about him that wanted her to protect him.But what?

Suddenly,Talim closed her eyes and fell into the man's lap.Soul Edge was trying to speak to her.....

(*Soul Edge Meeting*)

Talim:"He's seems...so...familiar.But why?"

Soul Edge:"He's from your past."

Talim:"Huh?"

Soul Edge:"That's all I can tell you."

Talim:"Hmm....."

Soul Edge:"Remember the clues of the chosen ones?"

Talim:"Yes.You said a man about my age,and was training with-"

Soul Edge:"Seung Han Myong."

Talim:"Yes,that's right....And I am at Myong's home!"

Soul Edge:"Now your understanding.So your chosen one,is with you right now...."

(*Soul Edge Meeting Ends*)

Talim woke up,rubbing her head.The guy took her chin and moved it to his face."Let me ask you the same question:Are you okay?"

Talim:"I am fine.Don't worry about me,"

???:"Good,I was starting to think you just dropped dead."

Talim made a small giggle.The man got up and brushed off himself,and took out his sword."I'm sorry...but you shouldn't be here.This is a restricted area only for the Seung Family and the trainees."

Talim layed on the floor,in a thinking state.The guy just stared at her."Excuse me,but you must leave!"

Talim got up,and suddenly pushed him to the ground.He was now confused."What are you doing!"

Talim bent over him,picking up his head."Your Yunsung,aren't you?"
