Gifteds of the Old

Rubbing my chin, I listened intently to the stories the statue shared. It seemed like she was letting off steam, and I couldn't blame her. Being trapped in this place, encased in stone, anyone would feel frustrated.

Heh, I'd probably lose it too... Well, scratch that, I'm already a bit insane to begin with.

She mentioned that many weapons with souls had lost their sense of self, but she had managed to keep her sanity intact. Apparently, she was quite a powerful individual before she was trapped.

Actually, it's quite funny how she ended up here. 

It wasn't because she was weak and defenseless against the Blacksmith guy. 

She was poisoned, which severely restricted her powers to the point where she couldn't fight properly when she faced him.

Perhaps if she hadn't been weakened, the outcome of that battle might have been different. 

But hey, that's her story. For all I know, she might just be trying to save face.
