![]() ![]() There’d always been an exhilarating rush Ivy enjoyed in the face of true peril - despite all the glamour and poise, she would always be vulnerable to the destructive whims of a restless soul - but she wasn’t stupid. ![]() She’d have to be careful getting herself unstuck here. It’d taken only moments for its tendrils to zero in on Talim’s pitiful struggles and ensure her unceremonious consumption. Struggle, distress, any movement that disrupted the sandy walls of its death trap – those were the droplets of blood this beast used to hunt. Grim, but the view had informed her of something important. At the far side of the slope, leg pinned beneath a fallen post blasted loose from the explosion, Ivy Valentine gave the briefest of grimaces as she watched the poor wind dancer’s waggling hand drop out of sight and the tendril that’d claimed her unfurl once again from the hungry maw. In her final moments of undevoured awareness, Talim’s upturned gaze watched the world above her fall away within an encroaching frame of teeth, the tendril around her throat withdrawing and leaving her to be unceremoniously swallowed down into oblivion. One of Talim’s hands fruitlessly clutched at the tendril around her neck, the other stretched out in a silent plea before she tipped into the pit and away from any hope of rescue. The slope gave way beneath her feet, opening into a hot and empty space below. The pressure was horrendous, a slow squeeze that crushed the delicate tendons and veins in her neck like rose stems and pushed her tongue out over her teeth as pretty bloodshot eyes rolled to the sky for the last time. The tendril continued up its prize, moving across her stomach and finally around her slender throat in a terminal yet simple purchase. Nobody above seemed to hear her, or if they did, they did not come to help. Her breaths hissed through clenched teeth as she felt the hot friction of the sand glowing against her bare stomach and face. It began retracting, tugging poor Talim down a few feet downwards as mortal terror bled through her mind and body. ![]() Within seconds it extended up around her thigh, squeezing tight enough to cause Talim’s hands to abandon their hold on the slope and push, whimpering, against its grinding grip. Soul calibur spear girl skin#The tendril’s flesh was rough and dry as sun baked animal hide, but somehow the brief with her skin seemed to register through the muscled limb like the jaws of a venus fly trap. One of the putrid, thick tendrils had wrapped around her ankle. Talim let out a startled squeak before glancing down and promptly screaming in earnest. More sand flowed out from underneath scrambling feet, drawing her another foot downwards. Surely somebody was still alive! Surely somebody could hear her! There were shouts from overhead, commotion. “Help!” She called, looking up at the platform above her. Nothing was more terrifying to a pilgrim of compassion than that. ![]() It had no heart, no mind, not even a soul. People, after all, were no different than the fields – they could all be swayed with the right wind…īut there was no moving this creature. She’d always had a way with the wayward heart, an ability to redirect ill intent to a calm and rejuvenating acceptance. Talim assured herself that it was her best to locate Soul Edge by joining Ivy’s cohort, counting on her latent empathetic insights as a wind priestess to soothe her employer’s maniacal tendencies and ensure that the blade would be destroyed as opposed to claimed when their excursion came to an end. She didn’t want to die, didn’t want to fall into that dank, animal darkness of primal appetite. Talim was not above whimpering – she could feel the sand giving way beneath her sandaled feet, could hear the dreaded pit below her gurgling in anticipation. Edited, cleaned up and hopeful worth a re-read! We can only assume Link was the inlfuencing factor.Part II - Same Story as before, only I had to re-upload it in two parts for some reason. It sold far better on Nintendo's system than any other. In the last console generation, it wasn't uncommon for GCN versions of multiplatform games to sell much worse than on other platforms. He made such an impression that we still pine for a return appearance. This Nintendo icon appeared once in the Gamecube version of Soulcalibur II. Either their movesets make them horribly unbalanced (looking at Yoda, we are), or they're general appearance is out of place in the pseudo-medieval environment of the Soul series. A common complaint regarding the SC bonus characters is that they don't fit in perfectly with the rest of the cast. That said, we didn't feel right without acknowledging Link on this list in some way. As we said, you can check back for a bonus character countdown tomorrow. Generally, we're ignoring the various SC bonus characters for this piece. ![]()
