Legend of the Sword's Edge

(Dedicated to my lover, ForgetIllusion) So you want to hear another story huh? A tale of raw emotion, adventure and conflict perhaps even a little heartache? No? Well too bad I'm telling you anyway. I'm sure at one point in time you heard about the legend of the sword known as Excalibur, otherwise known as, the sword in the stone. While it might be true that Excalibur held great power, it wasn't the only weapon to hold the calibur name. Yes there were others, many weapons throughout the ages that had taken on the name of a calibur. But one weapons legend rose above the all, and its name would come to be known as Soul Calibur. The legend says that Soulcalibur is power was so great that entire nations would go to war just too wield it, and with good reason. It is said that whoever wields Soul Calibur, would have the power to cripple entire armies, defeat any foe, and perhaps create entire worlds. Yes many warriors clashed their blades in furious combat just to possess the sword and yet, all who tried failed. That is until one warrior whose strength seemed to be different than the rest rose above the ranks, became worthy to wield the blade. The legend says that this warrior was known as the Sword's Edge. The legend says very little about the Swords Edge, only that the warrior was a woman. This woman apparently was a warrior whose combat skills are unmatched. He struck down any foe she faced, and was a respected warrior among the ranks. However she was not just some fearsome brute. Underneath the armor and blade she was also a caring and gentle woman. She cared for the sick and the poor, the orphans called her mother, and she was adored by all who knew her. But when the legend of Soul Calibur reach the woman's ears, the urge to wield its power was far to strong to resist, so she rushed to the battlefield like many before her. It said that this bottle that she was present in lasted for months perhaps years, and yet somehow by use of the grace of God or the devil below she survived the onslaught. The legends vary from land to land, about the warriors description, but, one among the rest. It says that when the battle was done. The woman was beaten, bruised, bloodied, and her left arm was severed. The battlefield surrounding her was littered with the many warriors who had fallen trying. to claim the blade. With only the strength of will she walked towards the sword who lied impaled in the ground in the middle of the battlefield. She knelled before it, and grasped the handle. With her dying breath she simply said four words. "Let. Me. Wield. You". With that the sword came alive. A blinding light engulfed the battlefield. What happened next was truly astounding. The fallen warriors were now gone, the dust became fertile soil, and black ground became lush and green. But what of the woman? The legend gave this description. Her many wounds are now healed, her skin became smooth like finest silk, her hair as red as fire, her eyes like that of the sun above, and her severed arm restored, made of solid gold. Now wielding the power of Soulcalibur, the Swords Edge journeyed throughout the many lands kingdoms, delivering justice and aid to all who needed it. However, there was one weakness to the warrior. The legend also says one more thing about the legendary sword. It is said that whomever wields it will also become immortal. As the decades turned to centuries, the Swords Edge become saddened, for she did not have another to bear the eons. She was alone. Unable to bear the loneliness any longer the sword's edge leaped into the heavens. When she came to her place in the great void, she created herself a bright star to blanket her. Within her new domain, she whispered a sacred vow. "Until the one is revealed to me, forever will I rest." Yes, the Swords Edge commanded her sword to survey the earth, waiting for a worthy partner to be chosen. But now you might be asking, did the swords edge ever find the one she was seeking? Is she still in the heavens above waiting for the one to be chosen? Well if you truly desire the answer perhaps you will join me again and I can tell you another legend that might answer your questions.
