Transcending
history and the world, a tale of souls and swords, eternally retold ......
THE STORY OF THE DEMONIC TWIN
SWORDS
Countless legends surround a
sword known as Soul Edge.
Some claim that it was the ultimate
weapon. Others refer to it as the "Sword of Heroes".
A phantom sword with immeasurable
power of the spirit ... the key to eternal youth ... a treasure without
equal ... a panacea to cure all illness ...
There are even those who consider
it the "Sword of Salvation."
Although no one could ever be
certain of the sword's whereabouts or true identity, various rumors and
folklore spread across the world.
In reality, Soul Edge was comprised
of twin blades that fed on human souls.
The story begins with Captain Cervantes, one of the
most dreadful pirates of the era.
After he acquired the evil twin swords "Soul Edge",
Cervantes and his mighty ship the "Adrian" struck fear into the Atlantic
Ocean.
Cervantes was finally possessed by the demon swords,
he slew his entire crew and the residence of his port base in Spain.
After the bloodshed, Cervantes rested himself at the
remains of what was once known as the "Black Tail Inn".
Temporarily satisfied with its twisted desire to consume
souls, the evil swords rested and prepared to create the "Child of the
Evil Swords"...
During the next 20 years, the rumors of the evil
swords spread throughout the world.
Some believed it was the sword of salvation, while
others called it the ultimate weapon.
Some, selected by destiny and history, sought Soul
Edge for personal reasons.
Fortunately, few reached Soul Edge; those that did
cursed their fate as the evil swords devoured their souls.
However there was one who fought the cursed fate.
Sophitia Alexandra, the sacred fighter of Hephaestus,
the God of Blacksmiths.
During the grueling battle with Cervantes, she succeeded
in destroying one of the twin swords.
But in doing so, she was wounded as the pieces of
the shattered sword rained upon her body.
Cervantes was about to end her life when Taki, the
"Underground Hunter", challenged him.
Due to his loss of control from the destruction
of one of the blades, the battle ended with the victory of Taki.
She completed her mission by gathering a piece of
the destroyed Soul Edge and left with the injured Sophitia.
