1Editing done so let me see where I was
To Mangasprite: I have been addressing the paragraphing
on my other stories and I fixed the anonymous reviews thing (Being,
me on another site is am avid anonymous reviewer as well so fixed
that) To hellthunder: I have another story at home that has Maxi in
it, I hope to get off my butt and bring it here soon, as it has
Necrid making a cameo appearance. As well as there is going to be
Raphael in that story. I, being a Nightmare fan as well am not at
first overly kind to him but I am getting a little kinder. Thank you
YojimosBlade as well as HorseAnimeFreak, and everyone else who has
reviewed this!
Okay now to start... bleh. huh? I am sure I had
fixed the formatting on the chapter before
this?

Edgemaster
Talim wandered around with Jonas for a while and then started looking for Yungsung. She checked most of the usual places she thought a guy might go. Taverns, pubs, other inns. Until she stopped in at a dojo. There was an older man outside the door that still seemed athletic for someone his apparent age, judging by the hair
.
He seemed to notice that he was being watched and
beckoned Talim over. "You don't seem like the type of person to
come here that often, are you looking for someone?"He asked
politly.
"Yes, I am, have you seen a young man around," Talim approximated Yungsungs height with her hand, "this tall, with spiky red hair, a kind of kimono-like shirt that ends around," again she did a guess at the height of the shirt. Stopping her hand at where her old shirt began."and..."
"He is in there, but don't go in right now, perhaps would you like to have some tea?" He asked with a look of pride as to whatever was going on in the room he was looking in.
"Uh, all right?" Talim answered as she followed him to another door.
The room they came into was a tatami mat room and Talim sat on a cushion as the older man pulled out a small kettle. There was already a small fire that was going in the hearth of that room so Talim sat down and watched as he poured tea into both of their cups. Talim could here noise from the other room and jumped when the prongs of a fork were suddenly sticking through the wall.
Then a knife joined it and various other items. The old
man was laughing suddenly as a small crash erupted on the other side
of the thin wooden wall. "That's quite a fight in there,
don't
you think so?"he asked smiling.
"Is that Yungsung in there?" Talim asked suddenly hearing swords clash after some conversation she couldn't make out. The tea was just the perfect temperature and the old man was taking a draw from it. Talim politely sat waiting for him to answer her question as she took a siip of her own tea.
"If you may follow me or you can come in after a few minutes hm?" he said as he was going out the door. After the fighting seemed to stop Talim came out and made her way to the door.
She walked in to find the tea that was just made in the other room in this one as well as Yungsung sitting on a cushion near the old man that made the tea earlier. And also sitting near a woman who had a resemblance to the older guy.
There was a spare cushion and teacup so Talim sat down on the cushion and sat primly on the cushion. "Oh father, is this another person looking to spar?" the young woman asked the older man.
"Uh, no thanks," Talim said as she sipped her tea. That explained a fair bit Talim figured as she readjusted her position on the cushion. She was probably training to be a teacher here.
"No, Mia but do you intend to take more students?"he said wryly . "Father what else was I supposed to do when he was waiting" Mia asked pleading.
"Offer him tea perhaps but never mind, so both of you found what you were looking for I suppose?" the old man said as he sipped his tea. "I guess," Yungsung answered seeming impatient to leave now.
"I was just wondering where he went," Talim explained as she took a swig of her tea.
"I see, well do either of you have names?" the old man asked them finally.
"Oh, my name is Talim,"She said politely.
"It's Yungsung," he said staring at the door seeming to be getting uncomfortable
.
"I was not given a name," he started,"But
you can just call me an Edgemaster." Both Talim and Yungsung
looked up at mention of the title.
The title "Edgemaster" is a very hard earned title. No one under the age of 24 has ever earned it. You have to have been acknowledged as winning hundreds upon hundreds of fights, fights that were fought fairly and justly on your part, no matter what the opponent.
"But, I am old and though I am an Edgemaster it has not made me immortal. However it has brought news to me. You two are looking for Soul Edge aren't you?" the Edgemaster said looking at them intensely.
"Uhhh..."Talim started kind of nervous about
the change in the old man.
"If you would get it for me...,"
he started.
"Father! Do you know what that sword could do to you?" Lia yelled suddenly leaping to her feet.
"I have never heard of a story that the weilder of that bloody sword at any time has ever done anything good with the sword! I won't permit this!"
"Now Lia you have no authoity over me!" the old man yelled his voice carrying a dangerous amount of power in it.
"Father have you become so obsessed with your lost youth that you will resort to a sword that will make you kill whatever is in your path even me?" she yelled," and if mother was still alive would you even then still look for the sword knowing that if you found it and saw her you wouldn't even know it was her"
"Aren't you being melodramatic...?" he said to her.
"I have seen it! Father, even you have heard the rumours of the Azure Knight! Well I have seen him! And he had Soul edge!" Lia yelled interupting him.
"That's it!"Talim yelled standing up. She had gotten so sick of the arguing that even her near limitless amount of patience was tested."can the both of you stop arguing when you have guests! Now excuse me I have to go before I do something I'll regret!"
Yungsung, Lia, and the Edgemaster, all stared after Talim as she stormed out. Yungsung because of all the time he had known Talim he had never seen her really mad, and if this wasn't that then he figured if she ever did lose it, the town would have probably fled in fear.
Lia, and her father stared after Talim because they had forgotten they even had guests. Yungsung quietly left after Talim and he made his way to the inn they had booked rooms in.
Yungsung found Talim on the rooftop of the inn. He didn't even know that she was on the roof until having no where else to look he found her. She was sitting down again and the wind was blowing rather strongly around her, compared to the almost stagnant air below. She was doing whatever she had been doing before.
He didn't think he was all that quiet when he came up
but he had been wrong before. Yungsung went down stairs after
apologizing and fell asleep on one of the beds in the room him and
Talim booked. Today was just a break he figured. And then into a deep
dreamless
sleep.
