Her sword was ... simple, to say the least. It wasn't especially a good nor pretty one. It had many chips on the edges, and the color was a particularly drab grey. It was only slightly longer than her forearm. It was currently embedded into a man's body, limp and lifeless. Her own right hand was on the grip. A rivulet of blood streamed down the blade and dripped into the grass.
With a gasp, she let go of the swordor tried to, but it felt like her hand was stuck to the grip. With a stronger tug, accompanied by the physical pain one might feel when skin was ripped, she fell onto the ground backwards. Her right arm throbbed painfully with every heart beat, but she did not notice. The sword almost seemed like a demonic being, now, its innocent, bloody grip mocking her. But it lie silent. Did she hear wrong?
With trembling fingers, her left hand found her iron amulet hanging from her belt. She yanked it off its crude hook and turned it three times in her hand, staring at the sword. The act was said to ward evil spirits that brought death or misfortune, but she harbored doubt as to whether iron would work on iron. If only she had a fire-mountain to toss it into, then perhaps it would have been better.
After a moment, she turned away from the sword, and looked around her. The foggy plain was littered with more bodies. All around her, lying on the floor, or headless, or draped over a bush, or, or ...
If that sword had a favorite food, perhaps it would have been flesh.

I give this thread one day to die.

Ask the sword what it's favorite food is. Pat it on the hilt if it says flesh.

I kinda did this!
blablabla, too short of an update for my tastes, sorry for it taking a week, and the wayward colon has been assassinated and replaced with a puppet em dash. I would have rewritten it to be longer, but then my epic procrastination and real life schedule would have taken over and it would have been Dariush'd.
