Chapter 6

Athens

As Kamon, Mia, Link, and Zelda arrived in Athens, they were greeted by a host of different races. All of the people they met seemed friendly, especially two women.

"The people here are nice," said Mia.

"Yes, but watch your backs for thieves and assassins everywhere," muttered Link.

"I thought I might find you here!" someone yelled from the crowd.

A young, blonde haired girl came running up to Link.

"I knew you would be coming here for the Soul Games!" she said.

"Link," said Zelda firmly, "who is she?"

"Don't worry," she said as she grabbed Link's arm, "I didn't like him that much. By the way, my name is Cassandra."

"You can stay with us," mentioned another blonde haired girl approaching Zelda, "We have plenty of room."

"Who is she!" said Zelda, aggravated.

"I apologize for my rudeness," she said bowing respectively, "My name is Sophitia. Link and I are acquaintances from our travels. Cassandra here is my little sister, she can be blunt sometimes."

That night when Link, Zelda, Kamon, Mia, and Sophitia's family were eating, Link and company were given a full explanation of the Soul Games.

Apparently it was a tournament designed for someone to obtain the Soul Edge and receive their hearts desire, whether it be peace or destruction. If someone with a pure soul could obtain it, they could bring peace and tranquility to the world, but a being with a tainted soul would bring death and destruction to all.

As the sun rises, we find our heroes traveling along the horizon toward the coliseum, ready for the fight of their lives.
