Lith's chest heaved from the wounds while hunger drained the strength from his limbs and clouded his brain so much that he had trouble focusing. Weaving spells felt like trudging through tar, but his body was too weak to react so his mind was all he had left.
He tried to store War inside the dimensional amulet but the weapon used what was left of its enchantments to resist the pull and tugged at Lith's consciousness.

'Don't be an idiot.' The tug of war made Lith's casting time become even longer. 'You aren't like Double Edge. That's just a piece of bone and metal that I can reforge as many times as I want. You are a sentient being and no one, not even Orion can put you back together if your spells fade.'
'I'm not sentient. I know I'm no person. I'm just a thing.' War replied.
'You are a person to me!' Lith felt his heart tighten. 'I can't lose you and Solus in a single day!'
