That phantom weapon you bear is a constant reminder, isn't it? The Sword is waiting for you out there somewhere, and you tarry so as not to meet it.

You have no other purpose, no higher destiny – just this. Your life had played out, and in my grace, I spared you. Transcript Dark Chronicle: Raziel in the Underworld
