The sword wasn't sentient, yet it seemed to have been imbued with the vicious feelings Orion had experienced while crafting it, if not even inherited part of the spirit of its creator.
Whenever they practiced with War, she could almost feel it craving for violence and the fact that Lith had to shed blood just to put it away was really creepy. Orion didn't lie to him, War refused to leave his hand without being fed first.
Giving it a blood sheath was the only way to soothe the blade's fury. It was one of the reasons why he left it inside his pocket dimension most of the time. The main reason, however, was witnessing what happened when someone who wasn't Lith or Solus touched the blade.
Even though it had happened only once, the memory still haunted Solus's sleep.
