Transcending history and the world, a tale of souls and swords, eternally retold...
The year is 1593, three years since Soul Edge and Soul Calibur were active, and in the hands of two knights, one with a soul, and the other soulless. One with armour as pure as ice, the other as azure as the darkest hour… Siegfried Schtauffen, after encountering his sworn enemy and alias, Nightmare, commonly known as the Azure Knight throughout the world, manages to destroy Soul Edge, after so many years of trauma. Assuming that the deed was done, and the balance shall be restored once again, Siegfried destroys Soul Calibur along with the cursed sword…
“Now the two Soul Swords have been destroyed… peace will arise onto the worlds once more, and calamity will cease…”
All was well.
Until the summer of 1593. The remains of Soul Edge and Soul Calibur have been dispersed across the world, in tiny fragments barely noticeable to the human eye, almost like grains of sand. However, the soul cannot be shattered, no matter how you destroy the body…
The two Soul Swords have each taken on a new form, ones in which they are able to walk, speak, and fight for themselves.
Legend foretells that the Spirit Sword herself has taken on the image of a beautiful, almost angelic human woman, whilst Soul Edge had taken on the image of death himself… a hooded male, in which had been said was hiding a fleshless soul, a skeleton of a demon, reminiscent to what he had taken on when Cervantes de Leon was his host…
However, many were unaware of this tragedy of the Soul Swords arising once again… innocents across the world rejoiced upon hearing of the destruction of the swords, and peace arose once again, continuing for three solid years, without pain, without remorse, without death…
Those who are acquainted with the Soul Swords fell into disbelief upon receiving news of the death of the swords. Thus, warriors had unsheathed their weapons once again, in search of them once again…
The Soul Swords will find each other again, without the assistance of their former wielders, without pawns to direct. They will go to any and every length to destroy one another, even if it means destroying those in their path…
As the tale once foretold: “The Legend will Never Die…”
The Setting
June, 1593. It was one of the longest, yet most peaceful summers since both the soulless pirate and the Azure Knight had roamed the world with Soul Edge in hand. Neither of the soul swords were to be seen, and the world rejoiced in harmony. Not even the Soul Swords' former wielders knew that Soul Calibur and Soul Edge still existed...
