Power and Intent is one of those short stories I write more to explore an idea than anything else. The idea of an intelligent weapon was always strange to me when I encountered it. Especially those that actually spoke to or advised their weilders. It was more like a person had been transformed into a sword and was still able to communicate than that the sword was actually itself intelligent.
What if a sword wasn't enchanted with intelligence, but came to it on its own? No magical powers or special qualities, just a regular soldier's sword that just happened to become self-aware. It wouldn't really need to speak or to glow to be used. It probably wouldn't have any desire other than to continue to do what it was intended for in the first place.
