Gram did his best to wait patiently while the adventurer that was here to save him looked through the treasure that was hidden away. It was only fair, really, one good turn deserved another. With that in mind, the weapon did its best not to get too irritable as it waited for the person that was saving it. It took a lot longer than the sword thought it should have, these things were pretty simple, he didn't see why they had to take so long, but eventually, the pair made it out into the sunlight. He would have grinned if he had a face. It was beautiful out here, it was a nice clear day, plenty of sunlight. There was lots of visibility, perfect weather for the slaughter of one's enemies. And then the sword was set down, it was about to growl in confusion and anger, when the weapon felt hands on its hilt. Surtr found itself going from raging mad, to deliriously happy as it was pulled free of its scabbard. When Tikki held it up, the blade groaned happily, like someone who hadn't stretched in a very long time.

"[i]Yes![/i]" the blade shouted, "[i]Free again! Glorious freedom![/i]" it paused to enjoy the feeling of just being out and about in the world once more, but bloodlust took over quickly enough. "[i]Swing me![/i]" the sword demanded, "[i]Swing me, and I'll show you what I can do for you![/i]" the weapon did its best to sound inspiring as it demanded to be swung. "[i]Let's go slaughter your enemies![/i]" it added enthusiastically, "[i]I'll cut bloody swathes through any that oppose you! I'll carve a channel of gore and destruction through any obstacle! Ye who wields the [/i]Black Wrath[i], rules the world![/i]" that last bit might have been a little bit of an exaggeration. But Gram didn't feel like he was too far off. The last time it had come into the world, the greatest king at the time had gotten a hold of him, and whatever conflict had been going on came to an end pretty quickly. Gram was not a merciful blade, and it was well-feared by those who understood it. He figured there wouldn't be many left who even recognized the name nowadays, though. Now was the perfect time to strike! Now was the time to seek out the nearest person of authority and slay them, taking their authority. And then slay anyone who objected! Suddenly he realized his thoughts might have been projecting just a little bit. He didn't know if his new owner had heard, but he wondered if they might be willing to do such a thing for him. To be the blade of an emperor once more... That would be something...
