Chapter 12: Sisterly arguments
- My feet hurt.
- Nobody has forced you to come, Cassandra.
After the menacing visit of the hooded man, Sophitia had decided to go after Soul Calibur, the only sword in the world which may fulfill his requirement: Being capable of beating Soul Edge.
Undoubtedly, it wouldn't be a short journey.
Her only help could be Taki, a ninja who had helped her father in his quest of Soul Edge. Furthermore, she had brought his corpse back to Greece.
But the only thing Sophitia knew about Taki was that she trained herself at a temple…in Japan.
Her first step would be to go to the seaside and try to hire a ship, but it would be difficult to find somebody who would sail a boat from Central Europe to the Far East.
Sophitia had planned to go on her own…but Cassandra wouldn't allow that.
- I couldn't let you go on your own. – replied Cassandra, limping behind her sister. – If your useless husband had come with you… Ok, he's a blacksmith, but he's kind of too weak…
- He had to stay at home and take care of the children, Cassandra.
- I could have done that.
- You? In charge of those two? I'd like to see it. – said Sophitia ironically. – You should better try to take care of yourself first.
Cassandra grumbled.
- You're almost 22. You should grow up at once.
- Sophitia, I have come to take care of you. I can't let you go after a sword to world's end on your own, can you understand that?
Sophitia turned around and smiled at her sister.
- I guess you're right, Cassy.
- I always am. – said proudly Cassandra.
The two sisters laughed.
- By the way, where are we going? – asked the younger sister, as they started walking again.
- Japan. – answered Sophitia.
- Sorry…what?
