Okay now. This is going to be a close one. I am not sure if I am going to keep my promise to myself that this is going to be at least 8 chapters long. But…the more the merry. Let's get started.

Disclaimer: I don't own Soul Calibur. But I do own the new character that is coming out in this one chapter. So shove off. Ha Ha. (Sorry)

Chapter 6: Damn Scales

Sanput stared hard at Zelda. Not just hard, but with a crazed look in his face. –Surely- He thought –Talim is not just in love with a warrior. She is in love with a prince! Who fights nearly every other month of the year! By himself! With no warriors to back him up! This warrior/prince is a god!- Talim started to fidget around, looking nervously at her father.

"Father?" Sanput did not hear his daughter speak. He was currently thinking on what kind of a child Talim and this Link could give to his family.

"Sanput?" Lidi walked over to her husband, "Dear…"

"Do you speak the truth?" Sanput finally said. "About him going off to face great evils by himself." Zelda nodded. Talim started to be really nervous, thinking that her father would not let her be with him. Sanput smiled, giving Talim barely enough room to breath.

"I conclude," he started, "That this man is fit in my eyes, or mind." He added. Talim smiled and everyone gave a sigh of relief. "Now if you excuse me, I got some sleep to catch up on. Lidi?" His wife smiled and he held her close and walked out the door. Kalana walked over to Talim and Zelda.

"The boy will protect with all his might." She said, "And he has a lot of might in him." She smiled and walked out as well.-Probably to enjoy the night air-, Talim thought. She felt a hand on her shoulder , she turned to face Zelda.

"My time is almost up, there is something else I want you to know." Talim nodded, wondering what she could surprise her now. "They gods are looking over you life to see if you are indeed worthy to be with him." Zelda smiled, "I believe you are, they way Link misses is all I need to know. Besides," Zelda said, looking quite thoughtful, "I love to have a sister-in-law like you." That caught Talim off guard.

"What!"

"Oh…nothing." Zelda said smiling.

"Zelda!" Zelda laughed. -She is like a sister I never had, and one I am not going to lose either.-

The Heavens-

Buddha was bored, along with G, Zeus, and Freya. He was called to replace the Wind Deity in the decision making. Now he wished he didn't, not because the girl had anything bad. Its just that it was so boring, and pointless by the looks of it. In the middle of the four, was a scale, with one side completely touching the floor. That side had nothing but white stone in it, filled to the rim and still filling up. The other side had nothing but three small black pebbles in it. The scale itself looked to be made of pure gold, it was slightly larger than normal scales, be that most scales were not over ten feet tall. The white stone itself were the good deeds and sacrifices a person made, the black stone for all the misdeeds and sins that a person had done. Apparently, Talim did almost nothing but good deeds her whole life. Even try to save those who were evil.

"Okay, that's enough." Buddha said, raising himself off the ground.

"But-" Freya started, but was cut off immediately from Buddha.

"But nothing. It is plain to see that she had pass the Soul Scales with flying colors." G nodded to this.

"Surely, there is no reason for us to continue on with this. Where did we leave off?" he asked Zeus.

"I think right before she turned 14."

"Okay, yeah there is no point in going on. She could not possible pull something off in two years time to make that scale dip the other way." G nodded and clapped his hands together. A loud sound was heard and a lone figure was standing next to the scale. It was one of G's angels. He looked at all the gods before letting his eyes rest on the Soul Scale. His eyes widen slightly before returning his eyes on the gods.

"Yes, my lord."

"Drango, as you can see," G stated, "Someone pass the Soul Scale with absolute flying colors. It is time to set the stage."

"Trial of the Gods?" All four nodded, he eyes reverted back to the scales, "Impressive. No one had taken the trial since your 'son' G." G said nothing, but gave a small smile, "And your to Zeus, if I am not mistaken." Zeus puffed up with pride.

"I am damn proud of him too."

"Prepare the Trial, Drango." Drango nodded and walked away to the next room. –How could a young mortal tip the scale so far. She has no blood of the gods, neither a purpose in doing such things for no rewards.- He began to focus on Talim, trying to find her fears and strengths –Could it be that she is the legendary angel? Born of mortal parents with no help from the gods? Is she the Pure Mortal Angel?-

Notes:

Drango the Soul Angel: One of the few angels in charge with rare occurrences. Like the one Talim is taking upon. Takes fears and manifest them so the ones that passed the Soul Scales faces them. One of few angel ever to given this tasks as high as this one.

Soul Scales: Each and every good and bad thing you do is add to the scale. With varies weight depending on the deeds that is done. Something like this is used by the Grim Reaper to determine if you are to be sent to heaven or….the other place.

Pure Mortal Angel: An angel that is born from mortals, like Jesus or one of the other few pure souls that tried to do things right, Only no help or interferncefrom gods, goddesses, or any other heavenly creature are involved. Said to be that every few thousand year one is born to bring peace to the world. Funny, Talim is the one to bring peace to the world. Imagine that. Hmm…..

Also, I am thinking of making another story. Avatar: Airbender kind of story. To get a clue on what is going to be like. Go to my Profile to get an idea.
